I have a 2007 Fabia combi, Mark 1. Engine is 1.2 petrol.
It is running rough and going into safe mode constantly.
Mechanic tested compression and it is 8,12,10 respectively for the 3 cylinders.
Mechanic tells me I need to have top off engine, and replace valves. And he wants to replace the timing belt at the same time.
He says it will be about €700euros. Thats probably the minimum.
Can anybody confirm, or suggest if this is the correct course of action.
I bought the car a year ago for 3000 euros. So 700 is a lot to spend on it. I would like to be sure it will result in a good performing engine...
Looking at Wikipedia, I think this is the engine in question, but it could easily be the 6v one, I don't know how to tell the difference.
