I have always known that if you use your air con regularly then it will affect fuel economy.
Now someone told me recently that it does not affect the fuel economy-if it does it could mean losing a one or two miles per tankfull.
What is the truth about this?
Any answers appreciated|||Will not affect it a signigficant amount|||Two schools of thought on that one.
First is that windows open, AC off will disrupt airflow of car creating drag thus lowering mileage.
Second is that will not affect mileage, rather the extra strain fro AC will decrease engine performance.
You can settle the arguement for yourself. Drive two tanks of fuel out without using AC and then two with using AC, and compare the difference in mileage.
To me it really wouldn't matter. If I'm hot, I'm gonna run the AC.|||if you drive with windows open the buffeting lowers the mileage the same as using AC..YOou paid 1200 dollars for AC ,, Are you going to suffer in the hear for 1 mpg? not me

The front anti roll bars on my Skoda Fabia need replacing, what are they and how much should it cost?
Dealer has quoted just short of 拢200 (UK).|||that sound a bit extreme. can't think it'll be the actual bars that need replacing. Maybe the anti roll bar bushes will need replacing as they do wear with age, not familiar with your model so can't be certain.
It 's a part of the car that helps keep the alignment of your car true and ensures minimal roll when cornering etc.
get another quote elsewhere it costs nothing for a second oppinion. main dealers are always more expensive, maybe try a local garage thats not a main dealer, their labours cheaper. if your a bit of a diy man, buy a haynes manual 拢15 and do it yourself. they're not to difficult if you have a socket set, you,ll need to put your car on blocks and let the front suspension hang free. good luck|||look on the net thats your best bet you will find a big drop in what you are being charged|||The anti roll bars will not need replacing unless the car has been involved in an accident.They are their to steady the roll of the car when cornering.They are attached to the car by rubber bushes and it is these that need replacing.A good DIY man can do this quiteeasily for around say 25pounds.I have encountered the same problem with this model before and on investigation the dealer was simply trying it on.|||never heard of a Skoda are they any good?|||in gotta admire yr bravery admiting u got a skoda fabia, if i had one of those id leave it down aldis car park wheres it more at home|||I would just get another car!!!! :o)|||take it you mean the roll bar drop links, then about 1 hour labour for the pair plus parts, but certainly less than your quote

How does Honda Accord compare to Skoda Superb for (a) comfort (b) solidness of build (c) engine performance?
Engine Performance ::: Accord %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Skoda Superb
Comfort Level:::: Skoda Superb %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Accord
Solidness of Build::: Accord %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Skoda Superb
Maintenance Cost::: Accord %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Skoda Superb
Very close call... But, I would still say if you are in India, then opt for Honda Accord, since it has a better service network and cost of maintenance is little lower than Skoda Superb... Further, it is better built than Skoda Superb in many ways...|||hey!
both cars are almost at par
but i will give edge to superb|||Both the cars you have picked are great and are quite similar in terms of performance and features. The mileage and engine performance of both Accord and Superb are great and very comparable. There is only a minor difference that Superb gives the option of leather seats, while Accord does not. Apart from that, you can compare the cars on the following features:
http://www.cardekho.com/compare-2car/Hon鈥?/a>|||well,the superb has more features and is more comfy(in fact,the goodies are of the kind you'd expect in a 40 lakh car!).secondly,the build quality of Japanese automakers(like honda) is unrivaled,even among their german counterparts(read=skoda).for engine performance,the accord wins any day.however,i wud suggest having a look at the nissan teana as well(even if they have only 5 showrooms in India)|||both the cars are
good
but for all the points you have mentioned above according to me Skoda superb scores more than Honda Accord
but Where Honda Accord Scores more ON Superb
1 st of all Honda Accord looks more stylish than that of superb
then Accord have a nice aftr sales service n/w than Skoda
so overalll if you want a car for all points mentioned ab0ve then only go in for Skoda Superb
otherwise overall i guess you must Go for Honda Accord..
not so bad car...

Can anyone tell me the position of a couple of fuses on a P reg Skoda Felicia ?
Didn't get a handbook when I bought the car, and over the last 2 days both the horn and the heater have stopped working. Am assuming its either fuses or a wiring problem. Will be buying a haynes manual at the weekend, but any help in the meantime would be greatly appreciated ! :-)|||Hello,
assume you have twin fast-on connector fuses in your Felicia.
You don't have to know which fuse protects which component.
When a fuse is blown, you should replace it with a new of the same current rating. Fuses are color-coded and there's a piece of wire in them. This wire burns due to a current above the rating, which could happen eg. during a schort-circuit. Some frequent codes:
BROWN-7 A (Amper) , RED-10 A, BLUE-15A, YELLOW-20A, GREEN-30A.
All you have to do is to check all your fuses. With the car powered off, pull each of your fuses out one-by-one and see if the wire inside is burnt (you can't miss it, in this case the whole plastic casing is burnt :D) replace it with the same rating (-%26gt; color). I suggest you to check all fuses, it's not an unknown phenomenon to buy a used car, replace some fuses and long-meant-to-be-dead subsystems come back to life :D and older fuses are more prone to blow below the nominal rating due to ageing.
And by the way, I have a Skoda too :D, a '89 Skoda 120 (former east-Europian rear-engined car, model was known as "Estelle" in west-Europe) and she newer let me down. No one can show me a better car for 200 USD :D !!!
It DOES worth :D !!!|||Man, I gotta know -- did you actually PAY for a Skoda?|||There under the Passengers side|||what the hell ive never hard of that kind of car|||Just look 4 the fuse panel, located somewhere under the steering rack probably, and pull your fuses out 1 at a time to see iff they've gone!!!|||dont waste money putting new fuses in, be worth more than the car!
