SKODA FABIA Front Brakes (A beginner's guide) Mk1 00-07

[@jsedk]

Great videos on the Skoda Fabia. My daughter just got her license and my mothers old Skoda 1.4 MPI. I use your videos to teach her how to maintain the car. Thanks for making this possible.

[@algypan]

I don't even have a Fabia but I like this video, it felt theraputic. The most relaxed I've felt all day. Thank you.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Great, cheers me up to know that, many thanks for watching and hopefully tempted you into a Fabia :-)

[@hellion9547]

Many thanks! Managed to fix my brakes with your video as guide. Your videos are so great in every way, straight to the point, informative, calm and detailed, good camera angles, no bullshit and many tips and advices.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

You're very welcome; great to hear my video was of help and thanks for the useful comments as these give me the knowledge to produce better content for all :-)

[@fotisparolas7732]

As always very thorough, accurate and well filmed. Thank you sir!!

[@HatBoyHarvey]

So nice of you, thanks :-)

[@donaljamescaddye3805]

A very important video that everybody should watch whether you are a beginner or an expert - I've done this job before but its good to go through it again and make sure as I will be doing it soon ! Your timing must be set to my Fabia schedule ! A Harvey car is a well serviced and well maintained car - Thanks for taking the time to film edit and post these invaluable videos - Helped me so much.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Well care for except for the rusty bits that i haven't yet tackled :-)

[@KaneGaming69A]

Legend Harvey mate! Been searching weeks for an answer until i came across your videos now half the cars sorted and ready to go not a more informative guy on youtube

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thanks, No problem, only glad to be of service 👍

Muchas gracias por el vídeo, he cambiado por primera vez yo mismo las pastillas delanteras de mi Fabia 1.4 tdi y ha ido muy bien, les puse unas pastillas marca Brembo, usé también limpia frenos Holtz y grasa de litio para los tornillos de la pinza, ha quedado muy bien, en la inspección en la prueba de frenado dio sobre un 90 % de eficacia, pronto le cambiaré los discos también que ya están usados. Muchas gracias por sus videos, me han sido de gran ayuda. Nota: Para limpiar los tornillos pasadores usé un estropajo metálico y funcionó muy bien, un saludo.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia con los frenos. Sí, la lana de alambre metálico es excelente para limpiar las partes oxidadas :-)

[@gazmartinpadiham.lancs.3435]

Never felt confident enough to do this but as always your video contains every single bit of information im gonna give it a go on my week off. Thanks HbH 🙏👍

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Great stuff, Good luck ⭐ :-)

[@ruimvp]

Here you are again. Glad to see you. my Fabia has 2 T45 screws in the FS-III. Not the 7 mm. I would only cleaned the rust from the parts and use the same ones. I think you live near the sea. That is too much rust. I had a Seat that in twenty years do not seen a garage and not so rusty.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

yes, it is very damp where I live. I will do a video showing me clean up the brakes and re-using. Interesting you have T45 bolts :-)

[@ruimvp]

@@HatBoyHarvey I think that a 7 mm key do not turn T45 bolts and vice versa. 😃 But already seen in KZbin a guy unbolting a torx bolt with a flat screwdriver...

[@HektorAlpTekin]

Thank you for rescuing me from the mechanic.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

You bet :-)

[@boypurple1]

Thank you so much for making theese in detail, definitely clickng on that buy me a coffe link. Did front wing fit, rear hatch replacement, door dissasembly and front light change all thanks to your videos as I am not super handy in car maintenance and your tutorials are very detailed and dont skip on anything.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thank you, I really appreciate that. Makes it all worthwhile when my videos can help others fix stuff on their own cars. I've neglected mine recently, so will try to make time to fix her up a bit more. These are great cars, will love the coffee :-)

[@coplandjason]

Nicely done, another very useful how-to, thanks

[@HatBoyHarvey]

You're very welcome my friend :-)

[@SoulMarauder59]

Thanks, I still give this job to my mechanic because I want to change my brake fluid as well

[@HatBoyHarvey]

You're welcome, have a look at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3_KkGN8nMR7qdE

[@chrisdavies860]

Great video thank you, my Roomster has a slightly different version of the caliper, but the basics are the same, oh and it's a pain when someone has over tightened those little disc retaining screws... 😊 cheers, Chris

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thanks, do they really think that little screw holds the brakes together?

[@REDLINERUNNER]

I plan to install Brembo disks and pads... I'm driving 1,4MPI 50kW.

[@Antonkucic]

Easy to make. It's a skoda. 😀 Love skoda.

[@torbenlanghede5092]

Great video as always! Just did my own brakes, easy after watching your guide🤙🏼

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Great to hear that and I'm glad my video helped, thank you :-)

[@RCmadness888]

Have to do it on mine, rusted the hell out....Thanks! Props!

[@HatBoyHarvey]

If they are very rusty then you may have issues such as seized caliper pistons, if so, just replace the lot as it is much easier than messing about freeing those up. Wish you good luck :-)

[@RCmadness888]

@@HatBoyHarvey Did the headlight swap yesterday, thanks for that to! :D Well, they work ok, wheels roll freely, brakes work , its only a visual bugger. Probabbly need to swap the discs. Pads are ok still.

[@Henner2424]

Thanks great overview of the whole setup 👍 my calipers have had it so think I'll replace them rather than messing about changing pistons and seals!

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thanks, I think that is a wise choice to make as it takes time to free up seized in pistons and replace seals etc and then you find they don't last much longer anyway compared to brand new ones. Calipers corrode over time so if there is any evidence at all then new ones would be my recommendation too :-)

[@vivaparenzo]

One of the best videos. thanks

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thanks for that, it's great to know my videos are maybe getting better!? :-)

Hello Boss your videos are very helpful thats another thing I can't do repairs my self . One question for you do you actually drive this car sometimes?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

I do! I'm planning to do just that in some Upcoming videos. I'm also thinking of doing a road trip vlog to Spain. Thanks for watching :-)

[@vikassharma-pq3ro]

@@HatBoyHarvey that would be amazing 👏 hopefully you will maintain this model of car for long and one day people will appreciate once it got older and see this car on roads.

Eres muy bienvenido :-)

[@jsedk]

Is it obligatory to bleed the breakes after changing the pads/discs?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Not always necessary. If they feel solid, no worries, but you have also got to think about water content that builds up over time. That is why it is recommended to periodically change out the fluid as per service manual. The fluid absorbed water from the atmosphere and when this evaporates under hard braking it can produce air pockets and spongy potentially dangerous brakes.
