I'm still looking for a used Fabia Mk2. I just viewed a 64 plate 1.2 HTP 68bhp model at a Skoda main dealer. Nice car but service history is incomplete.

On listening to the engine I heard a 'slightly tappy' kinda sound that I'd not noticed when viewing other Fabias. Now it may be that this sound is perfectly normal for this engine and I've just not noticed it before...

Could you have a listen to my vid of this? What I'm on about is a bit more apparent 29s to 33s - when I moved my phone... Does this engine sound as it should?

Very difficult to assess a noise s/hand via a video. If it is an Fsi or Gdi engine ,then the injectors can be fairly clattery. Listen to a similar engine to compare.
