Re: Skoda Fabia Diesel - Tom Shaw
Not sure about the Fabia, but my Driving School Saxo Diesel idles at about 800rpm. If you have not used a diesel for tuition before, I can tell you from experience that it is often nescessary to use first gear for corners that a petrol engine would normally take in second. Due to the greater torque of the diesel second gear tends to push the car a bit too much at low speeds.
