I thought not, but the listing is for a VW Transporter. I know VW parts are similar to Skoda, but the listing didn't state Skoda Fabia mk1. If you just want a no-nonsense mountain bike at an attractive price point, the Canyon Neuron AL 6 is a very good answer. wobbliscott- no reason it has to bolt into the chassis though, a tab out of the chassis/floor with a hole through it could accomodate a bolt and wouldn’t be any more invoved to fit than a stud (or in the case of ford, a manky selftapper thing). I looked up myself before posting a few listings and they too came up with VW transporter, Golf fitment. But, didn't fit a Fabia for whatever reason. The info about the tabs is useful. There are 3 rusty 'bits' which I could not identify which I now know are the remains of the tabs.

Someone said to me that the rear end of the heat shield isn't really necessary and can safely be removed. Is that the case?

How do the clips come off? Just looking at mine now, it all seems ok so I don't want to break any of the plastic lug things taking the clips off. div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px; : rgb251, 251, 253;">The noise was very weak, but the UP deserves better Rumours that Red Bull Hardline will become a series have been roaming the internet corridors a while, so it's perhaps no surprise to have the official news: Hardline will have... I often use washers that are meant for pinning insulation. They kinda mould to the shape. I do use the hex nut type washers too but they are damn expensive for what they are!

They are a different type of part than the one used on the under bonnet sound proofing, so just buy some, but, be aware that in most cases, the original retainers will still be on the car but rusted up, and the reason that you are finding that the heat shield has fallen down is because it is made of some aluminium alloy kind of material, and these retainers are zinc'd steel - so that has started a reaction that has locally trashed the aluminium alloy material - and it has "gone" and the heat shield now has a big hole in it where originally it had a small hole for the retainer's stud to pass through. So that means that you will need to make up some thin metal disc patches/repair washers to cover these holes when you go to fit new retainers. sorry to be bringing up an old thread, but I think my heat shield is rattling. I thought at first it was my a/c compressor since the rattle comes & goes and I thought that the heat from the a/c compressor was causing the rattle. Use a bit of ally sheet instead of a repair washer, the galvanic corrosion will take many car lifetimes to eat through 1mm of aluminium compared to the wafer thin heatshield. As for them not being suitable because of the heat - if you're getting that high exhaust temps, the clips are the least of your worries!The views expressed herein are those of the individual contributors and not necessarily those of BRISKODA or SKODA.

Make a couple of big square washers from a bean tin, folded a couple of times and a small hole made with a nail. This then grips the stud. Anyone replaced their heat shield clips recently? Sounded like exhaust was falling off, but after prodding around it was a clip that was corroded. Others didn't look too healthy, neither. I have searched and an old thread showed a part number They said no goodwill as it may have been something catching on it under the car. To our knowledge nothing has ever caught the underside of our car.I was browsing around to find some cat related stuff and apparently there's a voluntary service recall on this heat shield for some 07-08 2.5 models. the heat shield now has a big hole in it where originally it had a small hole for the retainer's stud to pass through Commonly used on Some Ford, Seat & V/W for underbody heat shields, noise insulations, bulk heads etc. When Nissan designed the car, if they thought that it didn't require any rear heat shields, they wouldn't have fitted any, it would have saved them millions of pounds Not to fit any. They don't think, "we'll fit heat shields for the fun of it, not to worry about the cost" BRISKODA is owned and operated by Summit 360 Ltd, registered in England & Wales, company number 05710517.
