Geez I heard you had trolls but SERIOUSLY looks like half the comments are from clueless highschool students. "I think it's a diesel because the oil is black and I can't see the coil packs". Yeah. Never seen an oil change yet WITHOUT black oil. And you don't always see the coil over plug type coils because they're usually under a cover.

Remember, remove the filler cap first, or a vacuum air lock will develop inside the engine as it drains, retaining some if the dirty oil inside.

It's great that you are showing just how easy some things really are. Most people can do this but are scared to work on their own cars incase they do it wrong . Great channel keep it up .

Shout out to dad! Well done, you learnt a lot. The manual in the car usually tells how much oil the car takes, just go to the data page on capacity, it tells everything from oil, coolant, alignment reading range. Good to see you happy and using your grand tools.

When the old engine oil has reached the point of dripping, its worth flushing some new engine oil through by adding it to the oil filler opening, to completely get rid of the old stuff and put the sump bolt in when this new oil is just dripping.

Loving the channel I work in a garage myself and it’s good to see some one who knows what they are doing

Good video mate and what a cool present from your dad the overalls look great!

Good Job! Great Simple to follow video! Nice one Mr 'The Savage Garage'..You a Star making it so easy to follow...

That looked so easy. Makes you wonder why anyone would pay a garage to do an oil and filter change especially on easily accessible locations like they are on that Skoda. Good video. If it gets too hot again while you’re wearing your overalls just tie the arms around your waist.

I have a 2009 Fabia and I love working on it. Easiest car in the world to work on.

I love Škoda’s, they are my all time favourite brand of car, and the only brand I will choose when replacing my car!.

Love where oil filter is thats brilliant couldn't get a easier service if you tried haha and love the boiler suit dude 👍

For anyone wondering how much oil to put in their car after an oil change it usually says in the user manual or most car oil manufacture websites you can put your reg in and it will tell you how much oil you need, the correct oil viscosity and oil spec . Castrol and Shell do.

Overalls are wicked. Well done Dad.

Blimey, that was an easy service,i wish all cars were like that LOL,i do like the overalls,well smart.

I like those overalls! You should definitely start selling them!

I have a piece of hardwood with a groove on it for the sill and o put the trolley jack on it and it never slips or damages the sill.

Those overalls are looking good. It is a bit of a bummer in the warm weather but it certainly beats getting your clothes dirty. You should've removed the oil filler cap before draining the old oil but other that that it was pretty much spot on.

Good old dad 👍

Awesome videos as always, keep it up ;)

Hey if you want to fly on over to the states I have 3 or 4 oil changes that need done! I think oil changes are one of the most important things to do yourself so you know it's done right.

smart its good to help others also good to keep your hand in

Well done Skoda for allowing such brilliant access 👍

When i change oil i put a spirit level on the scuttle and jack the car up until its level. saves me moving it to check the levels.

Thank you I might have a go myself now

If you need to know how much oil you need for the car, Euro car parts put the amount in the fitment details. I have never seen this before, but the reg number for the Skoda and the 5w 30 shell oil came back with the following......Other Information Cap 2.8 ltr, Cap 3.6 ltr. I have never seen this before where 2 oil levels have been quoted. Anyway, I use their oil level guide for other makes and they haven't got one wrong yet!! Hope this helps.

VW group cars are really easy to maintain and repair. That's why I love my Audi A4.

Nice job.... All newer VAG vehicles have similar.setup....even a VW Tiguan :)

Good stuff. Halfords want £120 to change my fabia oil, I nearly fell off my perch, it was £60 5 yrs ago Must be the cost of living crisis, I dont think. Someone here mentioned oil extraction pump, loads on ebay cheap, I will get one!

Hey there nice video! I sport a Skoda Fabia myself and I enjoy your videos! I just wanted to ask, would you try and jack the car up where you put the jack stands? I am not sure whether it would be a good idea because the lower control bushing seems to be right above it. Would you use a block of wood for that? Cheers!

Please Please buy a funnel lol, I see you pouring oil in like this in most of your vides. Still, I've been enjoying them. I've just done an engine and gearbox oil change on my mini JCW this week. New break fluid to go this weekend.

you can easy overfill, many small engines with oil. fiat grande punto petrol 1242 ccm , 2,6 L oil on max !

Omg fabia get in 😂 only because I have one

Overalls are awesome buddy, happy belated birthday 👍🏼

I don't see a o ring in it or am I being blind good video anyway James keep up the good work

when ordering your oil filter from euro car parts online it tells you how much oil the engine holds, and that's does sound like a diesel and not a petrol

Personal Suggestion !! VW Audi group car owners should contact there local TPS store for any VAG car parts. Specially service kit and manufacture recommended Quantum long life fully synthetic engine oils. In price comparison with GSF car parts or Euro-carParts they’re only few pounds extra as it’s always worth spending little extra for OEM parts and peace of mind.

Except all the aftermarket parts for all these European cars have better quality plastic than the OEM. What I have seen from aftermarket oil filters I fully agree though.

When you started you engine up I can hear the timing chain rattling. If it keeps doing this on cold engines you should get it inspected as you can total your engine. It could just be due to low oil pressure.

@teravolt6113

With petrol Vauxhall Corsa Bs and Cs some not too loud rattling is somewhat normal when the engine is fully warmed up (the oil just thins out when hot and the tensioner does what it can), but a rattling cold engine definitely needs some immediate attention.

Sorry harley guy over here. We have 3 holes on the bigger bikes. Only one oil hole here on the fabia when doing the 16.000km service?

Need more love for Skoda on this platform. People still stick by the old prejudices and stereotypes of post-war, pre-Vag Skoda. Wonderful cars to drive; reliable cars, and great ol workhorses. Our 15 year old Octy is still ticking. Less than 100k on er, original headlight bulbs, never failed us and has yet to fail an MOT. My current car, Fabia Monte Carlo 1.6TDI CR (108Bhp) is just as easy to service and fun to drive. They're lovely cars and honestly; why pay the extra cash for a high end Volkswagen when you can get the same, if not more on a high spec Skoda for less. Just a thought; your engine sounds a little rough for having less than 50K. My previous monte carlo 1.2TSI (86Bhp) didn't sound so rough and i was wondering why yours sounds so loud. I mean lifter tick is a given with the engines. It's a sound you get accustomed to. But that is quite loud for what i'm used to. sadly to say Monty didn't get to reach 32K miles before he was wrote of by a box van (funny thing being that the van was in a much worse state than Monty was. He's on the road with a different owner now).

Did you take the oil cap off the help it drain faster?

The colour of that oil was shocking for a petrol car, looks like it hasn't been changed for a long time. If it also has a turbo the owner is asking for trouble. My Leon TDI has the oil filter on the top of the engine. I use a Pela vacuum oil extractor though the dipstick hole, so much easier than getting under the car.

You have double sealed the oil filter by leaving the old seal in the housing. This causes the oil pressure to drop and cause damage to the engine and most likely the chain. You need to remove that seal ASPA!!

On these Oil Filters, the Top O-Ring gets Stuck in the Filter Housing. At 4:57 you can see an Old O-Ring from an Old Filter Stuck in there. The Oil-Pressure will get lower than it should be. Seen Cars with 2 O-Rings stacked on Top! These Engines are notorius for Timing Chain failure, this will make it even worse. You can hear it rattling when you started it up. Also, if you reset the Service Light with the Buttons on the Cluster, you will only get a 15k km and 1 Year Intervall. To get the 30k km and 2 Year Intervall you have to reset it over a Scan tool. You should correct this!

I’m a mechanic by trade, you should never fill oil to the full mark on the dipstick as it can cause other lights to come on, always put enough oil in so it’s just over half way as that will be enough. If you put to much oil in you can get a light coming on saying oil level to high meaning you’ll have to start all over. Also why did you check the oil level before running the motor, that will give you a false reading as the oil has not circulated

Oil and oil filter needs to be changed at least every 10,000 miles or once a year what ever comes first thats the most important thing to do. Air filter usually 20,000 to 30,000 miles depends on driving conditions etc fuel filter i would recomend about 30,0000 as for spark plugs or glow plugs respectively you will know when they need changed as the car will hesitate to start on cold mornings etc, pollen filter i would change every 2 years, all vechicles are different if any doubt consult your owners manual and that will tell you what the manufacturer recomends.

You’ll never get a true level of the oil with the car sitting on a forward slope. You need to add oil and then check it on the level.
