A tip when replacing the fuel filter: take the protective caps off the new one before taking the old one off. When you take a line off, cap the connection of the old filter. That way you won't get as drenched in fuel when taking the old filter off :)
I love genius tips like this.

I use giant cable ties!
When you changed the fuel filter it reminded me of when you changed the corsa filter. It was the first job I ever did on my corsa myself. Since then I've done all the repairs and services myself. I'm now into the 12 Year of owner my little corsa.
Thanks James you saved me a fortune.
It's such a joy to watch your antics under a motor and do the bits and bobs.. So fascinating...
Good stuff. I'm tackling the missus Fabia this week and it's good to watch someone tackling the job first. Much appreciated.
Having always serviced my cars it's always nice to check others before I do a new car (skoda rapid 1.2 tsi so same engine) just to make sure. Good stuff James, have since watched pretty much all of you videos. Clear simple and easy to follow. Good work
So glad your back with more videos james, I thought you had given up love seeing the videos and rhe honest approach you have showing the good the bad and the ugly so to speak just a genuine youtuber 👏👍
As a fellow drive way and self taught 'mechanic' as well as someone who spends a lot of time on his back under a car on jack stands, I would like to say I appreciate you James. Watched your videos for ages but never commented, I guess better late than never :) Top Guy.
Always a satisfying watch seeing a car being serviced
Mate, this was a great video! Loved the balance of entertainment and information, I actually learned something watching it and enjoyed it
Another great informative video. All aspects explained well. Keep up the good work and hope the channel keeps growing! Underrated.
Reminds me of when I changed the pollen filter on my Qashqai. It was rank. Probably hadn't been changed for possibly 7 years when it was last main dealer serviced. If they did it of course, otherwise it would be 10 years old when the car was first built. Great video and always James, we do like a bit of diversity now and then. Keep it up.
Thanks I got a friend who’s octavia boot won’t open. You gave me the confidence to have a go.
James you have just me realise how long I have been watching your videos when you said it was almost 2 years ago when I did the last service. 😀👍
Thanks for encouraging me to do this service, plus spark plugs, on a newly acquired Roomster 1.2 tsi.
I hated changing the fuel filter, struggled like hell pulling off the hoses, got petrol in my face. Bad design VW.
Cabin filter- I actually put my hand in to find which way the vent blows.
Spark plugs - got myself a £40 torque wrench. For pulling off the cables and for pushing them back in, I’m going to get a tool, as when using just ordinary pliers was very clumsy, potentially damaging.
Oil change - got 10 litres 5w-40 from Halfords, used 5l to flush. Like the oil filter access.
Will definitely consider servicing myself, deep mistrust of local garages.
Cheers.
Great video james.love the little tip with the pippette to take the oil out of where the filter goes.little details like that is what make your videos great
You cant beat a good old fashioned service video 👍👍
just done this myself on the old saab TiD this weekend gone. good stuff mate ;)
Great video! Just bought myself my first car at 29 years :D Škoda 2010 1.2 Greenline TDI Diesel
And I found everything on one place! Thanks for this video man, love it! This will help me a ton with my own car service.
hi dusan93etr have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
Great to see you again James buddy 👍
Nice video again, a little comment to let you know you’ve given me the confidence to work on my own car/s with your videos. I’ll be forever thankful. (not just on about these type of videos either, I’ve now done all sorts thanks to you)
they were factory filters, except the oil, funny thing they are mileage dependant in the service schedule, it could be the main dealer only did the first three years and it was within miles to not replace, or like many main stealers they couldn't be arsed
Brilliant video as always and hope you are staying safe and well
Yet again another awesome video top work looking forward to seeing the next one 👌🏻👍🏻
love your content. a tip for the fuel filter. to make sure there's no pressure in the system you could have the car running and then pull the fuse for the fuel pump to stop it. that way you shouldn't have pressurised fuel left in the system
got a ton of work to do too the mrs new astra cabriolet on sat, your videos always get me pshyced up for it. great video james, looking forward to the welding vids you really need to share the secret of staying so clean though. im a mess after one minute haha
Good job James nice to see u back pal 👊✊
Good to see you back 👍
Brilliant Video, really enjoyed watching.
Great work, mine is due a service so this video really helps.
Yaaay I am soooo glad a easy to understand beginner level vid for nearly my exact car! (I got the monte carlo, black roof etc) Finally. Sub earned Sir! :-)
Love a good service! Good work.
Love the videos James, keep up the good work
great upload as usual james mate 👌🏻
It's a 2011 car. I got a 61 plate registered September 2011 so 6 months newer. They aren't carbon those pollen filters just really manky. Mine had a full Skoda history and don't reckon they changed it. I DIY mine. Same with the fuel filter. Main dealer standards are appalling. DIY so you know it's done right. Good video.
Love watching your videos mate your the best car youtuber going. Mate u getting another car mate
Thank you, this is my job for tomorrow on my skoda roomster
That wrench... so beautifully laying on the battery :D :D :D Full Pro :D
Nice to see something easy to do service at ur lesure
Nice to see you back James ,when’s the next toolbox update 👍
When replacing the fuel filter, you can pull the fuse/relay to the fuel pump and crank the engine. This will relieve the pressure of the fuel system and you might get a little less drenched in fuel
Thank you for a most useful video and for explaining every step. Warren
These videos are fantastic.
2 year changes on a tsi? Brave!
I miss my Fabia 1.2. So easy to work on.
Hi James once again top video love the how to’s. the stickers in the Skoda are you bringing them back or restocking? I had one but it came off jet washing I’d had it a while haha thanks man keep it up hope you and all subs are okay👌🏻
Great as usual so helpful 👍
Think you should be doing the timing chain on my yeti , say yes pal 👍🏻
Good job and nice video as always👍
Great video James
Good interesting video. Just wonder why you didnt replace the washer on the drain plug and not use a measure for the oil top up? Thank you.
Where are the welding videos? I've watched all your playlist now mate good stuff keep up the good work 👍
3:07 - the breather hose. There is a good info about it on Briskoda. When I pulled the air filter housing, the said hose popped and I noticed that it’s been superglued on the engine head. There is supposed to be a grommet and the one way valve slides in.
How did you reattach yours?
Apparently people don’t notice and a petrol smell results.
hello there, if youre going to reuse the sump plugg and it has a copper washer, just use a torch on it, that will soften up the copper again to make a better seal.
I always just buy a new sump plug they’re only a couple quid.
@@SCOTTCOD4 well thats the best thing to do, but if you forgot its something that works
TacKy for sure! :)
Very interesting video, plus,
as I’m a Škoda fanatic, it was bonus footage of the lovely Fabia estate!!, I would have been daunted by the prospect of attempting to service my own car before watching this, but it really is quite straightforward, I do like the how to videos, I learn a great deal from them, thank you James.
The blue clip on my filter won't budge? I have tried using flathead to press it and it's not budging at all, I don't want to brake the clip... Any tips please?
Hi James great video again
Quick question what’s the chances of you having a Mazda 3 mps as abit of a jdm project?? 🤪
Great video good to see the old James back hope you dont mined me saying that ?
Great job
Wow, that cabin filter was like a pukka pie!
Hi guys. I just changed the fuel filter to my skoda yeti 1.2 tsi 2011 but now its not starting. I think its air in the fuel system after replacing the filter. Any idea hot to sort out it. Thank you.
The filter seal stayed in the engine on mine as well.
I might not have noticed that, if you didn't highlight the issue.
That's for that
Any chance you can please share where you got that green folding led light from? 👍
What’s that electric screwdriver called you used to remove the airbox & where did you purchase them magnets? Links would be appreciated
I am thinking of buying a skoda Fabia 1.2
How good are they to drive and reliability and what other cars in this range would you recommend? Cheers good videos and a joy to watch.
Definitely the original pollen/micro filter I would say. 👍😜
Hi I changed fuel filter and the car cranks but won't start do you know what to do?
What about the spark plugs? Checking the brake fluid water level and coolant strength?
Did anything happen with the project Skoda? Not seen it mentioned for a few months or seen anything done to it.
@ the savage garage.
Hi guys. I just replaced the fuel filter to my skoda yeti 1.2 litre 2011. Was same as this fabia. Now the car dosent start because maybe it has air on the fuel system. Can it be solved with the starter spray?
When you started the engine 2-4 sec I hear a chain.. Asked becose also i have same car and same engine.. That is normal or no?
Hi James great video, you would need to reset service light
Always clean engine casing with service and what happend to spark plugs?
Need to fill the oil filter before installing. Add oil, then push the centre down with something blunt, it'll allow the oil to enter the filter, continue until no more can go in. Also the oil level should be checked when HOT so you've probably overfilled it. Coolant also is low, needs to be full at COLD. Probably needs brake fluid changed, mechatronic oil changed, hinges oiled, tyres rotated; so quite a bit more.
I have my car fabia 1.2 tsi dsg auto 7 speed deal-clutch
I want to change the oil gear
The counter distance is 69000km
How u advise me ?
Thanks for the video. Where did you buy that nice little car vacuum cleaner. Cheers
Why didn't you change the spark plugs?
That car seems so easy to work on compared to my car. It's like the French went out of their way to make the Megane as awkward as possible. That fuel filter especially is very easy. Nice work all round.
have you seen japan cars? I had old Mitsubishi Colt. Changing cabin filter was like making origami. Blind, with broken tied arms.
I have the 1.9 tdi fabia 2 does it work on my car the same?
Lovely Jubbly, you should offer the owner a valet service, yes I did say valet not detail.
Could you do a really quick video on jacking a car up to put it on Axel stands? I always just use a jack alone (I know it's dangerous) as I'm always scared of putting the Axel stands in the wrong place and going through the bottom of the car..
can you change the cambelt and the water pump on the fabia next please?
Hello, could you please share a photo of your white interiors in red fabia? I'm thinking of changing from black to white, but I can't imagine it in a red car. Thank you very much. I did not find this combination elsewhere.
are you ever going to start working on the Fiesta again?
nice video James I love doing a service on a car
Happy days my night is sorted
Stay cool James ignore the haters I enjoy youre videos. Mazda put the filter in my fuel tank so it's one job I can't do but by all accouts it's okay in there
Its different cabinfilter. Looks like yours are normal cabinfilter and the one from the car is a active coal filter that vag uses. They are black inside.
Thanks mate!
6:40 Yes, the original was an Active Carbon Pollutant Filter. The black were the colour of the carbon itself.
Hello, nice video! is this the CBZA Fabia II model, please?
what's the oil cap washers size? 10 or 12?
I love your videos.ill do mine soon same engine.im going for the Castrol 5w30 LL but I'll use it max 14k
Time for a timing chain replacement
definitely not
@@ronanwood6891 Definitely yes, typical 1.2 TSI-chain-rattle after a cold-start. I hate these engines when we have them in the shop for a service, you have to be quick after you drained the old oil.... ;)
Sounds horrid on start up that does.
@@ronanwood6891 indeed typical for the 1.2 tsi engines, when the chain rattles after the cold start is mostly a sign to be replaced
I’ve got the same car but a year older - makes the same noise but worse and sometimes it does it when not cold. Do you think it’s the chain or the tensioner?
Great video
How much oil do you need ? 3.6 litre or 3.9
Waiting for your update video of your welding mate, hurry up lol 👍🏻.
Hi James missed these videos
Wheres the Maf sensor and camshaft position sensor on those cars
The breather valve's pipe is broken. I suggest you to replace it, otherwise you'll experience bad smell inside the cabin.
Timing chain rattles a bit on start-up: this engine is known for having problems with timing chain components. Check if the timing is correct and eventually replace all the components as soon as possible.
You might have the answer i'v been looking for for a long time! Sometimes I got fresh petrol smell in the cabin, couldn't find the source... Can you explain me where can I find that breather valve pipe to check and change it please? Thanks!
Is the black Skoda your next project mate
Hi mate what gloves are you using great channel
