4. Display Brightness
5. Calibration
6. Device Test
7. Display page

1. Boost Level Menu


Boost level menu allows the crew to:
- Choose the boost level between 5 positions (5 being the highest). In the case of pop-off opening
problems or challenging road conditions, you may wish to reduce the boost level.

2. Trip master
Menu resets both trip meters – Trip_Distance_1 and Trip_Distance_2.

3. Fuel Menu
Fuel menu allows the crew to:
- Change the Estimated Fuel Consumption (FuelEst) by adding or removing a quantity of fuel
- Switch on the fuel pumps manually, e.g. if a fuel sample is requested by the ‘FIA’

4. Display brightness
Enables the brightness of the main and driver displays to be changed from ‘0’ - minimum to
‘7’ - maximum, separately for day and night, based on Side Lights command.

5. Calibration
Enables ‘zero’ calibration of sensors:

A. Steering sensor
Adjustments of the steering sensor can be corrected through the Main display menu. ECU will
store current position as “zero”. Sensor itself has a wide range ±780° so there is no special
calibration required like in previous Fabia Rally2 model.
You can also set the new zero in Sysma software:

B. Brake pressure
Front and Rear brake pressure sensors can be adjusted to zero, in the case of a small offset.

C. Handbrake pressure
Front and Rear brake pressure sensors can be adjusted to zero, in the case of a small offset.

D. Barrel sensor
For fine-tuning, the sensor output can be adjusted in the range of +-0.050 V. At least rough
mechanical adjustment is required.

23/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Barrel sensor adjustment procedure:
1. Make sure that neutral is engaged in the gearbox.
2. Reset the previous offset by confirming the ‘RESET OFFSET’ in the barrel calibration menu.
3. Go to service page 1, check the BARREL value.
4. Rotate the sensor until the value on the display is in the range 0.950 – 1.050 V. Use centring
tool 6VT01248 as in the picture if needed.
5. Tighten the sensor screws.
6. Go to the barrel calibration menu, confirm ‘SET NEUTRAL’.
7. Check the barrel value again, it should be 1.000 V.

6. Device test
This section enables the testing of the Cooler fan, Rear differential fan and Water pump manually.

7. Display page
Option to select the desired ‘ROAD’ and ‘STAGE’ pages on the driver’s display.

USB logger

‘ECU’ has the option to save logger data on an external USB flash.
ŠKODA uses USB disc 000.900.007.F.
It is highly recommended to use USB provided by SKODA Motorsport. Otherwise SKODA Motorsport
cannot guarantee functioning of the system.

USB disc specification:


> USB 2.0
> 8GB capacity
> compact package, not standard
Formatting to be used:
> FAT32
> 64 kB/cluster

Note: Engine should not be started soon after Main Switch activation to ensure the correct data is
recorded on the ‘USB’ key – wait until Main display is fully active.
Note 2: For the same purpose, turn off the Main Switch at least 3 seconds after engine off.
Note 3: It is recommended to download all data from the internal logger in the ‘ECU’ after every 8 hours
of recording, to have a backup of all data from the car!

46/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


5.4.2. Engine stop

When switching off the engine, it is recommended to switch to the ‘ROAD’ mode and wait until Text
temperature drops under 550°C.

Engine power test

The engine test page is used to check if the engine is delivering the expected power. For this test, it is
necessary to:
- switch to ‘STAGE mode’ – test is not dependent on used MAP (map 1 – 5 can be used)
- accelerate in a straight line at full acceleration in 4th or 5th gear
- reach an engine speed higher than 5500 rpm – the indicator for actual engine speed will be lit with
the green background colour

47/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Check the following parameters while driving:
a) Pedal – must have green background = fully pressed
b) Throttle – must have green background = fully opened
c) Turbo – must have green background = value is higher than 135 000 RPM
d) P22 and P22TGT bar graph showing approximately the same values or P22 is slightly higher than
P22TGT
e) EWgPosn and EWgPosnTGT bar graphs showing approximately the same value

If everything above is OK, the engine power is correct. Otherwise, it will be necessary to check for possible
damage that could decrease the engine power.

Engine power test problem list


a) Pedal not reaching 100 %
1) Check if something is stuck under the pedal
2) Calibrate pedal and throttle (see chapter Calibration Pedal x Throttle)
b) Throttle not reaching 100%
1) Is the ‘ERR’ dot red? Press ‘RESET ERROR’ button on switch panel and, when green, test
again
2) Calibrate pedal and throttle (see chapter Calibration Pedal x Throttle)
c) Turbo speed does not show green background
1) Is the ‘ERR’ dot red? Press ‘RESET ERROR’ button and, when green, test again
2) Continue to next point
d) P22 is lower than ‘P22TGT’
1) Is the ‘ERR’ dot red? Press ‘RESET ERROR’ button and when the dot is green, test again
2) Check for leak in the system – are all hoses mounted correctly? No hole in the intercooler?
e) EWgPosn is different from EWgPosnTGT
1) Is the ERR dot red? Press RESET ERROR button on switch panel and, when green, test
again
2) Calibrate Wastegate (see chapter ‘Wastegate Calibration’ )

48/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


FIA limiter

Maximal engine ‘RPM’ is stated in the FIA rules and it is ‘7 500 RPM’. Once this limit is reached, all the
cylinders and ignition will be cut.

5.6.1. Overrev counting

To track the engine lifetime and prevent engine damage due to engine overrevs (time spent above ‘7
700 RPM’) are counted by the channel overrevsum=integ (IFGT(NEng,7700)*(NEng-7700)).
> When the counter reaches 3 000 units for the lifetime of the engine from the last revision, the engine
must be sent for revision.
> If ‘RPM’ 1 time > 8 300, the engine must be sent for revision.
> If ‘RPM’ 3 times > 8 000, the engine must be sent for revision.

Road x stage mode

The engine is equipped with different mapping for stage operation and road operation. The aim of the stage
operation is to deliver the highest possible engine dynamics and power, whereas in road mode the main
focus is on minimum consumption. The road/stage is toggled by the ‘Stage’ button on the switch panel and
indicated by the green light above the button.

Road mode differences:


1. ‘ALS’ is NOT triggered.
2. Less aggressive pedal mapping to enable easier handling when pulling away.
3. No injection for off-throttle operation to save fuel.
4. Different injection strategy to save fuel.
5. Launch start is not allowed.
6. Lower ‘RPM’ limiter.
7. Lower boost level.

49/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Launch start (‘LS’)

The launch start procedure is intended for a quick standing start at the beginning of a rally stage. The
correct procedure is:

1. Warm the engine and the car up to the operational temperatures.


2. The Launch start ‘RPM’ is displayed on the Main Display.

3. Press the ‘Limiter’ button on the switch panel several times to select the desired starting ‘RPM’. For
good grip select ‘~7 400 RPM’ (higher), slippery conditions’ ~5 500 RPM’ (lower).

4. Select the desired ‘ALS’ level by choosing the desired position of ‘MAP SW’ on the central panel and
then turn on ‘STAGE’ mode.
5. Rev the engine a few times to increase the exhaust temperature to above 700 °C.
6. Shift into first (or second) gear at least 3 seconds before activating the Launch start.

50/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


7. Press the ‘Launch start’ button on the steering wheel.

The Driver display digit starts flashing, indicating the launch start procedure.

8. Hold throttle in the desired (pressed) position for at least 3 seconds before the real start to provide
enough time for the turbocharger to reach the optimal ‘RPM’.
9. Use the clutch to start.
10. When the car reaches 10 km/h + 1 second the Launch start function start is automatically deactivated
(FIA rule).

Note: The Launch start will not be engaged if the car speed sensor fails.
Note 2: To abort the Launch, start press and hold the ‘Launch start’ button for 5 seconds.

51/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Turbocharger

5.9.1. Antilag system (‘ALS’)

Because the engine is turbocharged, it is equipped with an antilag function to improve the response of the
turbocharger when going from off the throttle to back on the throttle. Select the level of boost pressure
for the off-throttle operation by selecting the position of the rotary switch (‘MAP SW’) on the switch panel.

The ‘ALS’ is activated in stage mode only. The ‘ALS’ intensity selection is as follows (increasing intensity):

Position 1 – no ‘ALS’
Position 2 – minimal ALS (very slippery conditions)
Position 3
Position 4
Position 5 – maximum ‘ALS’ (perfect grip tarmac)

As a safety function to prevent turbocharger damage when the engine is idling and the car is not moving,
the ‘ALS’ will be deactivated after 10 seconds. The ‘ALS’ is re-activated as soon as the pedal is pressed.

52/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


5.9.2. Summary of boost level settings depending on engine specification

Below is a summary of the boost level settings (which you can adjust through the Main Display, see below).
Boost levels
Spec 2019/ Spec 2021 Boost value
AVL200
5 1500mBars
4 1450mBars
3 1400mBars
2 1350mBars
1 1300mBars
The values are valid if adaptation is reset –see page 69.

5.9.3. Engine boost setup

You can choose a boost level between 5 positions (5 being the highest). In the case of pop-off opening
problems or challenging road conditions, you may wish to reduce the boost level. To do so, please follow
the steps below:

1) Switch Main Switch ‘ON’, Ignition (kill) Switch ‘OFF’.


2) Make a short press on the rotary encoder (‘MENU’) on the central panel to access the main display
menu, and then rotate the encoder to reach the Boost level menu.

53/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


3) Press the encoder to enter the Boost level menu, and the current boost level is displayed.

4) Rotate the encoder to choose a new boost level.

6) Press and hold the encoder to return to the Boost level menu page.

55/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


5.9.4. Maximal turbocharger ‘RPM’

The Maximum allowed ‘RPM’ of the turbocharger is 190 000 RPM. If the threshold is exceeded, we
recommended checking that the Wastegate actuator is still working properly. When this threshold is
exceeded (turbocharger overrev) for any given time, the safety function is triggered to prevent damage to
the turbocharger.

Faults are clearly marked in the Error Manager – see chapter: ’Errors – Error manager, backup strategies‘

5.9.5. Wastegate setting

Correct setting of Wastegate actuator - see picture below.

This measurement has to be conducted on a dismounted wastegate actuator.

56/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Wastegate replacement – Steps to follow:

- Disconnect the wastegate loom connector from the engine loom.


- Disassemble the complete wastegate (including the U-shape fork) from the turbocharger.
- Unscrew the U-shape fork at the end of the wastegate rod, and mount this U-shape fork on the
new wastegate.
- Adjust the rod length (by screwing or unscrewing the U-shape fork) according to the drawing
above.
- Once you reach the correct wastegate rod length, tighten the counter nut.
- Re-assemble the complete wastegate on your turbocharger. You don’t have to untighten the U-
shape fork, you can rotate the complete assembly (rod + U-shape fork) to reach the correct angle
allowing you to put the pin and the safety clip between the U-shape fork and the waste gate lever
from the turbocharger.
- Once the wastegate is re-assembled on the turbocharger, connect the wastegate loom connector
to the engine loom.
- Proceed to wastegate calibration according to the procedure described in chapter 5.11. Wastegate
calibration.

57/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Calibration pedal x throttle

- ECU is exchanged or flashed
- pedal is exchanged
- pedal sensor is exchanged
- throttle body is exchanged

It is essential to perform the calibration before every race/event.

Follow the Procedure:


1. Switch ‘OFF’ the ‘MAIN SW’.

2. Fully press the accelerator, switch ‘MAIN SW ON’.


3. The calibration screen will automatically appear on the main display.
4. Follow the instructions on the main display, and when releasing the accelerator, automatic calibration
will start.
5. During the calibration process the Throttle value goes to 0% -> 100% and then it settles at around 25%
(idle value, can vary depending on the conditions).

Alarms

Serious faults will be announced to the driver by a message (with red background) on the driver display –
see chapter ‘Driver display’ for detailed driver display description.

All alarms will also be shown on the Main display, see ‘Main display’ chapter. For more information on alarms
on both Driver and Main display, see chapter ‘4.2.1.3 Alarm Page‘.

Descriptions of the displayed labels are listed below (5.14 Errors – Error manager, backup strategies), also
with bit position in WinTAX channel ‘MaskErr’.

Errors – Error manager, backup strategies

The engine management system is equipped with advanced error detection and backup functions to always
ensure the highest possible performance and prevent the engine from being damaged.

Signal MaskErr returns the bit coded information about the detected error. Below is a list explaining the
meaning of each bit and the backup function used should an error be detected.

If an error is identified and resolved, please clear the error by pressing the ‘RESET Error’ button on the
switch panel for 5 sec and reset the car (switch OFF and ON main switch) - see chapter ‘5.13.1 Error Erase‘.

If an error is permanently detected (caused by any sensor fault), it is recommended to disconnect the
malfunctioning sensor until it is possible to replace it with a new one. In this case, the engine management
will be working with the default value, or the missing signal will be calculated automatically.

Water circuit

5.16.1.Water circuit bleeding

The capacity of the cooling circuit is 4.5 L without heater.

There is no special procedure to bleed the water system. The water circuit will bleed itself. Filling the cooling
liquid into the expansion tank, warming up the engine and filling up liquid to the level mark is only required
if necessary. Any trapped air will escape through the bleeding hoses when the thermostat opens. The
opening temperature is approximately 85 °C.

Detailed steps as follows:


1) Add cooling liquid (G13 + H2O, mixing ratio 50:50 or G12 EVO pre-mix with no further water mixing)
in the expansion tank, until the level is at MAX and remains stable.
2) Close the expansion tank.
3) Start the car and let it warm up. The level in the expansion tank will decrease gradually as the system
bleeds itself.
4) At water ≈ 80-85°C, the thermostat will open, and cooling liquid with air will start to flow through the
thick hose from the radiator to the expansion tank. If the temperature is above 100°C and there is still
no flow through the breather hose, check the water pump function and water level.

5.16.2.Water circuit for versions with or without heater

The car can run with or without a heater. The parts for conversion are supplied with the car.

To connect a heater, drain the circuit and use the supplied tubes to connect the heater to the engine
according to the picture.

70/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


To remove the heater, drain the circuit and remove the two connecting tubes 6VT 121 155 B and
6VT 121 154 A from the engine bay. Replace them with bypass tube 6VT 121 155 C. The opened dashes
to cockpit heater should be closed by the supplied caps. Fill the water circuit again, regarding the bleeding
see paragraph 5.15.1.

71/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Engine maintenance

5.17.1.Clutch operation – thrust bearing (axial bearing)

As the forces coming from the racing clutch are approx. 2 times higher than in serial production cars, the
lifetime of the axial bearing is limited. When the clutch is pressed, the axial bearing is not sufficiently
lubricated, which leads to wear of the bearing. As a result, the crankshaft clearance increases to the point
where it jams and destroys the engine.

For this reason, do not press and hold the clutch pedal for longer than 20 seconds! Pressing the pedal
for longer period of time increases the risk of damaged axial bearing, which can lead to engine
damage. When operating the clutch pedal:

a) Do not start the car with the clutch down. Make sure the transmission is in neutral.
b) Do not press and hold it longer than 20 seconds.
c) If the clutch needs to be held down longer, after 20 seconds release it and press the clutch pedal down
twice completely. This lubricates the axial bearing
d) You can then press and hold for another 20 seconds.
e) Repeat point (c) for a longer hold.

ŠKODA provides Wintax mathematical channel (ClutchPressTooLong_R5Cust) that calculates how long the
clutch was down. As the clutch pressure/travel sensor is not allowed, this channel only calculates the
approximate time (idle + gear in = pressed clutched). Use this channel to check the approximate time the
clutch has been down.

The channel is only for information purposes.

72/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


5.17.2.Check of thrust washer status – axial clearance of crankshaft

Before/after every event (rally, test), measure the axial bearing clearance:
1) Remove the wheels, sump guard, cross member and the gearbox. Remove the alternator belt.
2) In the space under the right side rail, install the timing gauge. The gauge has to be firmly attached to a
stable and non-moving part of the engine (best to the engine block). The head of the timing gauge has
to be in contact with the bolt of the alternator pulley and has to be oriented in the crankshaft axis.

73/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


3) Push the flywheel inside the engine block. In this end position, set the timing gauge value to zero.
4) Push back the flywheel from the engine block. At the opposite end position, read the value of the
timing gauge.

5) If the measured clearance is greater than 0.3 mm, please contact ŠKODA customer service. An engine
in this condition should not be used and can be significantly damaged if not replaced.

5.17.3.Oil level check – Standard engine oil filling

Ref: Description:

1. ‘OIL CHANGE’:
When changing the oil, the correct oil level is determined by the mark made on the
Oil Change
dipstick. The typical amount of oil when changing is approximately 4,8L. Always
measure the oil level with the turn off engine at least 3 minutes after switching off.
To set the correct oil volume after oil dip stick / oil sump change in the Rally2 evo
engine, the procedure below must be followed exactly:
The procedure determines the correct calibration methodology for the oil dipstick. New
cars are already calibrated. When the original dipstick is damaged or after a change of oil
sump, calibration must be performed.

2. ‘CALIBRATION PROCEDURE’:
> Fill up 4l of flush oil, according to the engine specification.
> Start the engine and wait for the first coolant fan switch on, or minimum
oil temperature of 95 °C and minimum coolant temperature of 100 °C.
> Drain the oil. Open time – minimum 15 min.
> Amount of oil is specified in section 3 of this procedure
> Measure the amount of oil on calibrated weight scale.
> 30 min after filling, make a mark on the oil dipstick. The lower edge of
the mark corresponds to the oil level.
> Roll out the car (run the car for a short while)
> After roll-out, park the car in the workshop. Put the car on the assembly

5.17.7.Engine start-up after the car rolls over (procedure in the service zone)

The procedure for the service zone describing what to do with the engine when the car rolls over.

1) Visually check the engine bay for leakages of coolant, oil and fuel. Check that no parts are damaged
2) Check the air system – no dirt in front of or behind the airbox, air filter not damaged
3) Take out the spark plugs from the engine
4) Check the top of the pistons through the spark plug holes. If you see a small amount of oil/fuel,
clean the combustion chamber using compressed air
5) Turn on the engine with ignition switch ‘OFF’ (injection ‘OFF’) – Does the engine sound normal?
During several first turns, residual oil can spill out from the combustion chamber.
6) Oil change – check the oil level and if necessary, add oil to reach the mark on the dipstick
7) Insert new spark plugs into the engine
8) Turn ‘ON/OFF’ the ignition switch 3 times – check if fuel pressure is constant(higher than 4 bar)
and make sure there is no fuel leak in the engine bay – check visually
9) Start the engine
10) Check the engine bay visually for possible liquid leakages.
11) Check the data

5.17.8.Driver Safety Function

For safety purposes (stuck accelerator) an accelerator-pedal to brake-pressure overlay check is


continuously performed. If the ‘ECU’ detects that the brake pedal (fluid pressure) and the accelerator pedal
are pressed simultaneously for an extended period, the injection will be cut.

An error should not occur in normal engine operation. In certain non-standard cases, for example, when
bedding the brake pads (brake and accelerator pressed at the same time for a long period), the error can be
cleared - see chapter Error Clearing.

5.17.9.Fuel system bleeding after fuel/engine change

1) Turn the Main Switch ‘ON’


2) In the ‘DDU’ menu switch ‘Fuel tank to drain function’ ‘ON’
3) Wait 10 seconds and switch ‘Fuel tank to drain’ function ‘OFF’
4) Switch ‘OFF’ the Main Switch
5) Bleed the fuel system by loosening the fitting connected to the high-pressure pump. Use papers
around the connection to catch leaking fuel. Bleed the fuel only when the system is cold (cold
exhaust, etc.).

6) If air is coming from the hose, repeat the process from step 1
7) Try to start the car with the standard procedure
8) If the engine stalls, repeat process from step 1

5.17.10. Turbocharger speed sensor replacement/turbocharger


replacement

When mounted in its position inside the turbocharger, the turbo speed sensor also secures a plastic ring
located inside the compressor housing in the correct position.

As a result, you should not move the turbocharger when the turbo speed sensor is not mounted in
the correct position because there is the risk that the ring will rotate, which would then make it impossible
to put the turbo speed sensor back in its place inside the compressor housing.

5.20.2.Engine transport to ŠKODA Motorsport

If the customer would like to ship an engine to ŠKODA Motorsport, all the following points must be
observed (see illustrative pictures):

88/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


> Send your engine in the correct Fly box. It is possible to buy these directly from ŠKODA Motorsport
under part number 000 012 003 A in the catalogue.
> Send your engine with its ‘ECU’ (if not possible, for example, when using a spare engine in the
car, ŠKODA Motorsport should be informed in advance).
> Send your engine without any liquids (oil, water, fuel).
> Send the engine clean. Otherwise, there is a €500 fee for cleaning.
> Do not send the clutch, air filter, exhaust line, alternator, alternator bracket, steering pump or
steering pump coupling (Oldham joint).
> Leave on your engine the engine loom, coil loom, flywheel, throttle body, all sensors, turbocharger,
wastegate actuator and water pump.
> Put on the engine all caps delivered with the engine and the HP pump bracket closing plate.
> The customer is responsible for both shipments (delivery to ŠKODA Motorsport and collection
after rebuild).
The customer must inform ŠKODA at least 3 weeks before the delivery. Depending on the work capacity
at the workshop, ŠKODA will provide the customer with an estimated delivery date. We advise customers
to inform us as soon as possible so that we can plan the engine rebuild. Engine revisions that are ordered
further in advance will be completed with higher priority.

The engine will be authorised to leave ŠKODA Motorsport once the funds have cleared in ŠKODA’s account.
Please, bear in mind the time needed for the bank transfer.

If a transport company is to pick up the engine, the customer is requested to give the company the final
address and the invoice number or the engine number. The engine will not be handed over if shipping
information is missing.

Deliveries carried out by external companies are the responsibility of the team. If the engine is damaged
upon delivery, the responsibility lies with the transport company – not ŠKODA Motorsport.

89/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


5.20.3.Engine sealing

The ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo engine has two seals to prevent the engine from opening. One is on the timing
case cover; the second one is on the oil sump cover. Removing either of the seals is PROHIBITED. Should
an exceptional and urgent situation arise, ŠKODA Motorsport must be informed as to why the seals were
dismounted.

If the customer experiences an engine problem or failure, ŠKODA Motorsport should be informed and the
engine sent for analysis.

If the engine seals are missing or damaged, any work carried out on the engine will be at the discretion
of ŠKODA Motorsport.

5.20.4.Over rev

To track the engine lifetime and prevent engine damage, overrevs (time spent above 7 700 RPM) are
counted by the Wintax channel overrevsum=integ (IFGT(NEng,7700)*(NEng-7700)).

When the counter reaches 3 000 units for the lifetime of the engine from the last revision, the engine must
be sent for revision.

> If RPM 1 time > 8 300 the engine has to be sent for revision.
> If RPM 3 times > 8 000 the engine has to be sent for revision.
The maximum engine speed considered to be ‘correct’ is 7700 RPM

If those parameters are reached, send the engine to ŠKODA Motorsport for rebuild regardless of the
current engine mileage.

5.20.5.Data acquisition

The team is responsible for downloading and keeping all the data logged in the ‘ECU’ since the last rebuild.
ŠKODA Motorsport reserves the right to demand any logged data in the case of engine failure or
complaints.

Unless the team is able to provide ŠKODA Motorsport with all data history, any work carried out on
the engine will be at the discretion of ŠKODA Motorsport.

The ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo uses a camber spacer system for precise adjustments to the camber angle.
By changing the spacer type or orientation, it is possible to increase or decrease the camber angle of the
wheel.

Example

If we want to increase the camber (2° 15‘→ 2° 26‘), we have to use camber spacer with a bigger index
towards „-’ and vice versa.

Each time the camber angle is changed, the toe of the wheels must be readjusted to the initial/required
value!

8.1.2. Bumpsteer compensation – front axle

Dependent on camber, different bumpsteer spacers on the upright are recommended for use on tarmac.
The values are identical for both the front and rear axle. On gravel, no such compensation is necessary.

Spacer - upright on top 4.1 mm (index L) 5.1 mm (index J) 6.1 mm (index K) 5.1 mm (index J)
Spacer - upright on bottom 6.1 mm (index K) 5.1 mm (index J) 4.1 mm (index L) 5.1 mm (index J)

Spacer - upright on bottom 6.1 mm (index P) 5.1 mm (index N) 4.1 mm (index M) 5.1 mm (index N)

There is a choice of 2 viable spacer versions. Both have the exact same geometry, upgraded spacers are
made from stronger material, which exhibits reduced chance of problems during exploitation.

8.1.4. Ride height adjustment

Pay attention when changing the springs for different rates; the ride height may vary slightly. You can set
the car to the required ride height by adjusting the lower spring platform.

See the table below for spring platform heights for various spring rates and ride heights. It is not advised to
use a platform position beyond this range. The spring seat positions defined on the table below are linked
to the old spring platform type for gravel/tarmac. Skoda Motorsport recommends the use of „HAT“ spring
seats as described on the following bulletins: „ZMS 1375“ and „ZMS 1354“.

Brakes

8.3.1. Description

Brake components used in ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo are parts produced by Alcon Company. Therefore,
maintenance of the brake components should be done properly to reach the best possible braking
performance.

8.3.2. Maintenance

Bleeding

Begin the bleeding procedure by opening the cap on the pedal box to bleed the brakes more efficiently.

Then:

> Pour brake fluid to the inside reservoir until it is almost full.
> Pressurise the system by pushing the brake pedal a few times.
> Press the pedal and hold it down. At this moment, the mechanics will open the bleeding screws of
the callipers (you can bleed one side of the car at the same time or each calliper singe.
> When the mechanics inform you that the bleeding screws are closed, you can release the brake.
> Repeat this procedure until the pedal stiffness informs you that the circuit is bled.
> Press the brake pedal fully 4 times.
> The reservoir should then be refilled.
> Repeat the process until the brakes are bled.
> Fill the reservoir with brake fluid to completely fill the 3 compartments inside the reservoir.
> Close the reservoir.

Warm-up procedure

If you purchased bedded brake discs, make sure they are warmed up before use so that the best possible
brake performance is achieved from the beginning of the rally. The best way is to pair the discs and pads
together, prepare them and switch both of them during the rally at the same time.

Maximal temperature of the calliper

Before each rally or test it is advised to use new temperature stickers


(6VT 609 451) to monitor the temperature of brake callipers.

Three temperature ranges predict the future performance of the brake


callipers:
> below 200 ⁰C – ideal working conditions for callipers
> 200 ⁰C – 240 ⁰C – brake drag may increase, and resistance to knock-
back may be reduced
> above 240 ⁰C – seal failure and fluid leakage possible.

After reaching high temperature it is advised to revise the calipers


using the kit 6VT 609 225 (contains seals and grease for one axle)

In case of prolonged working conditions above 240-250 °C calipers


should be sent for an inspection to check the hardness of material as
the mechanical properties of the part could be influenced.

Minimal thickness of discs and pads

> The recommended thickness of the brake disc is 31 – 32 mm.


> The minimum thickness of the pads including the backplate is 5 mm.

117/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


8.3.3. Handbrake

Handbrake reservoir pressure

It is possible that with increased oil temperature, the pressure inside the handbrake reservoir may rise.
You can monitor the value of the hand brake pressure on the ‘MPDU’.

If the pressure is higher than 0.5 bar (even though the handbrake is not activated), you should unscrew the
reservoir at the handbrake master cylinder to release the pressure and screw it back on afterwards.

118/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Bleeding

To bleed the rear diff circuit, the car should be on a non-sloping, even surface. To bleed the circuit, remove
the tank cap on the handbrake ‘MC’ and also the travel limiter so you can use the full stroke of the ‘MC’.

Once the circuit is bled, fill the tank to the fluid top-level mark and close the cap. On the ‘MPDU’, confirm
the target hand brake pressure is reached when pulling the HB during the run and that there is no pressure
increase when the HB is not activated.

119/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


8.3.4. Revisions

Calliper revisions

If the callipers reach high temperatures, or for every 1 000 km covered, revising the callipers is
recommended.

In the revision kit, you can find new seals and special grease for assembling the callipers. The revision
procedure is as follows:

1. Press out the pistons from the calliper, optimally by using compressed air through the calliper
hydraulic inlet port. It is necessary to use tool ‘6VT 012 207 A’ to limit the movement of the piston
to press out all the pistons from the calliper.
2. Remove the seals from the grooves, taking care not to scratch the calliper bore or seal groove itself.
3. Clean the calliper bores and pistons with warm water.
4. Everything needs to be clean and dry before reassembly.
5. Inspect the calliper bores and pistons for scratches. The part should be replaced if it is scratched.

120/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


6. Apply a small amount of grease (6VT 609 207) to the seal and place it inside the groove in the
calliper.

7. Apply a small amount of grease (6VT 609 207) to the piston surface.
8. Check the piston springs are properly mounted on the pistons (if the contact between the parts is
correct and not at an angle).

9. Press the piston inside the calliper bore, as much in the axis of the bore as possible.
10. The piston should not be pushed with high force. If high force is applied, check everything was done
correctly, including grease applied to the parts as described in previous steps.
11. Bleed the callipers when cold until brake pedal has its normal stiffness.
12. Bleed a second time after rollout where the brake fluid is warmed. Without performing a second
bleeding procedure, the car cannot be guaranteed to be competition ready.

Dampers

8.4.1. Description

> Manufacturer: ZF Race Engineering


> 3-way adjustable (bump/rebound independently) with external reservoir.
> Low- and high-speed bump adjustment at remote reservoir.
> Rebound adjustment through piston rod.
> Non-adjustable hydraulic bump stop.
> Non-adjustable hydraulic rebound stop.
> Gas charged monotube design.

The compressed and extended damper lengths of gravel dampers are different from tarmac dampers.

8.4.2. Setting

Compression adjuster

The compression adjuster is located at the bottom of the damper. It allows damping in compression to be
adjusted for low speed and high speed separately.

High-Speed setting

> Click 0 corresponds to the stiffest setting


> Click 8 corresponds to the softest setting

Low-Speed setting

> Click 0 corresponds to the stiffest setting


> Click 8 corresponds to the softest setting

Notes:

1. For the setting name of each damper,


please refer to the sticker on the damper
reservoir.
2. Full soft position is defined by number of clicks, not by mechanical stop of adjuster. It is strongly
recommended to set within the click range as specified above.

Rebound adjuster

The rebound adjuster is located at the top of the damper.

> Click 0 corresponds to the stiffest possible setting


> Click 24 corresponds to the softest possible
setting

For both compression and rebound, the desired clicks must


be adjusted from the stiffest setting. All knobs must be fully
tightened (clockwise) and set from that position to the
target click value.

8.4.7. Springs

Description

The SKODA FABIA Rally evo is equipped with helical compression springs with a linear characteristic. The
springs are made of high tensile spring steel; the end coils are ground for better load distribution on the
spring platforms.

The main spring is supported by an auxiliary spring. We strongly recommend always using the main springs
with auxiliary springs to avoid any damage to the damper or spring platforms and to consistently maintain
proper spring function.

* The spring rates which are available in green colour are specific springs mandatory
to use on the EVO car to allow complete working range. Do not use springs from the
SKODA FABIA Rally2 car in this stiffness (black colour springs) as they are not
suitable for use in SKODA FABIA Rally2 evo under the complete working range.
Those black springs in those stiffnesses can result in damage of spring seats at
specific RH and real weight balance of the car.

Installation

ŠKODA Motorsport strongly recommends taking maximum care when installing springs on the damper
units (especially gravel springs). It may be necessary to use a dedicated spring tool.

Anti-roll Bar

8.5.1. Description

For the SKODA FABIA Rally2 evo there are 3 diameters of front and 3 diameters of rear anti-roll bars; they
are coloured as follows for easier orientation:

> Green = soft


> Yellow = medium
> Red = hard

Front anti-roll bars are marked with one colour stripe, rear anti-roll bars are marked with two colour stripes.

There are also 3 positions the ‘ARB’ drop link can be attached to the suspension arm to change stiffness.
Their names relate to their position from the centre of the car:

> Inner = soft


> Middle = medium
> Outer = hard

128/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Take care with the drop link position and screw orientation.

129/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021

8.5.3. Anti-roll bar change

It is possible to change the antiroll bar on both axles without disconnecting the damper or arm from the
upright.

On the front axle, it is necessary to use the detachable bushing:

1) Remove the ‘ARB’ drop link bolt on the wishbone arm on both sides
2) Remove the ‘ARB’ arm on both sides

130/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


3) Pull the ARB detachable bushing (left side) out of the bodyshell
a) It should be possible to remove the bushing by hand (or a flat screwdriver with little force)
b) When reassembling, apply anti-seize to the outer diameter of the bush

4) Pull out the ‘ARB’ bar close to the damper


5) Realign the ‘ARB’ bar to avoid collision with the damper and pull the ARB bar out

Steering

8.6.1. Steering circuit bleeding

If the steering circuit on the car is opened (when replacing the steering pump, for example), some air will
enter the circuit. To bleed the steering circuit properly, the following steps must be performed:

> Keep engine ‘RPM’ >3300 during the following steps


> Rotate the steering wheel to the lock position.
> Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock position to get the oil into the circuit.
> Force and release the steering wheel in the end position at least 6 times to the right and then 6 times
to the left.
> When the steering feels ok and there are no bubbles in the oil inside the tank, the circuit will have been
bled successfully. Otherwise, keep repeating the previous steps.
> Simply steering from lock to lock position and manipulating the steering wheel very quickly is not
adequate. The steering has to be ‘forced’ once the lock position is reached. Otherwise the air trapped
in the cylinder will not come out!

8.6.2. Steering maintenance & new steering racks from ŠKODA Motorsport

To maintain the performance of the steering system, ŠKODA Motorsport strongly recommends complying
with the following revisions:

The steering filter should be cleaned every 750 km or every time a new pump or rack is fitted to the car. To
clean the filter, remove the filter O-ring first, and then flush it with petrol in the opposite direction. Please
make sure the filter is properly dry before putting it back into the steering oil.

If there are metallic particles in the filter, the filter should be replaced. Check for metallic particles after a
few kilometres (for example, after 50 km).

Ensure that the steering circuit is connected before starting the engine to avoid running the steering pump
without oil flowing. If the steering circuit is disconnected when the engine is running, the steering pump
may fail.

8.6.1. Revisions

Our supplier Sportech Engineering provides steering rack services. Each service includes a series of low and
high-pressure tests to ensure the steering rack performs within tolerance. Steering racks should only be
opened and serviced by Sportech Engineering. Neither ŠKODA Motorsport nor Sportech Engineering take
any responsibility for damage or destruction due to the steering rack being disassembled by a third party.

Our customers should send their steering racks directly to Sportech for servicing. To do so, please complete
the Revision Form and attach it in an email to Nicolò Bertocco. You can find this form in the ‘ŠKODA FABIA
Rally2 evo Catalogue’ under the tab ‘FORMS’ -> ‘Revision Forms’. The form is in MS Word format.

8.6.2. Oil drain

All steering racks (new or revised) have been bench tested by our supplier. The test is done using different
oil.

It is highly recommended to drain the remaining oil from the steering rack before putting it to the car.
To drain the oil from the rack, please follow these steps:
1. Fit the ball joints to the rack and tighten them completely (by hand is sufficient) as in the picture.
If this step is skipped, you will crush the seals and the rack will start to leak.

2. With rack input/output ports pointing to the ground, rotate the pinion fully to one side until you
reach the end stop. Use a 16mm spanner.
3. Drain the oil with the rack in that position.
4. Repeat the procedure for the opposite side.
5. Drain the oil with the rack in that position.
6. Rotate the pinion to bring the rack bar to the middle position.

133/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


8.6.3. Centre pin operation instructions

There is a special tool (6VT 012 113) for centring the steering rack to the initial position. The procedure is
as below:

1. Check the knob on the centring tool is unscrewed and there are at least 3 threads visible.

2. Turn the steering rack slightly to the left (remember never to rotate the steering rack extensively
without assembled ball-joints).

3. Turn the steering wheel slowly to the right until you feel the click of the centre groove (steering
middle position).
4. Tighten the knob of the centring tool completely.
5. You can proceed with wheel alignment.
6. Remove the centring tool from the steering rack without turning the rack to the right or left, so as
not to damage the pin.

Appendix J Article 252 Art. 9.1 Petrol

Fuel level sensor

Fuel level sensor – 6VT 201 489 D


> The fuel level sensor installed in the car is calibrated (Empty/Full) for fuel approved by FIA for WRC2 in
the year your car was produced.
> It is necessary to recalibrate the fuel level sensor for the type/brand of fuel used. Each type/brand
(manufacturer) of fuel has a different electrical capacity. The sensor can display the wrong values
without calibration!

Calibration of fuel level sensor from the car/spare fuel level sensor
> Switch off the Main switch (electricity in the car is off).
> Disconnect the cables of the loom from the sensor.
> Remove the sensor from the fuel tank.
> It is necessary to perform the calibration with the Al boot on the sensor.
> Prepare an external power supply (12V).
> Prepare a container with the required fuel.
> Prepare a ‘DTM’ connector 6VT 201 045.
· Red wire - positive (+12V)
· Black wire - negative (-12V)
· White wire - signal (for check output voltage)

‘Full’ state adjustment:


> Install the sensor in the tank and turn the power ‘ON’.
> Fill the tank or any container to the required full level.
> Remove the calibration bung from the sensor and use a suitable tool to press the ‘PCB’ mounted
calibration button. Hold for 5 seconds to set full point — release button.

> Check full point (~4.8V).

135/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


‘Empty’ state adjustment:
> Empty the tank, remove the sensor from the tank and shake to remove excess liquid.
> Disconnect the power supply.
> Use a suitable tool to press the ‘PCB’ mounted calibration button. Hold for 5 seconds to set the empty
point — release button.
> Check empty (~0.25V) point and refit the bung.

Calibration check:
> Connect the sensor ‘NEG’ to the power supply negative (‘-’) pole and the sensor ‘POS’ to the power
supply positive (‘+’) pole.
> The sensor ‘SEND’ should have voltage ~ 0.25 V when the sensor is fully out of the fuel.
> The sensor ‘SEND’ should have voltage ~ 4.8 V when the sensor is fully in the fuel (up to the black plastic).
> The sensor ‘SEND’ should have voltage ~ 2.5 V when is the sensor halfway in the fuel.
> If the voltages mentioned above are out of the range, repeat the ‘full’ and ‘empty’ calibration steps.

10.1.2.Pedal box

The pedal box can be adjusted closer to or further from the driver. This can be done by mounting the pedal
box in four different positions in steps of 25mm. When moving the pedal box main bracket, the MC brackets
must also be moved accordingly.

Fine tuning the pedal pad position is possible by moving the pad on the pedal lever in range of 20 mm for
the brake pedal and 25 mm for accelerator and clutch pedal.

138/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


10.1.3.Gearshift

The gearshift should be perpendicular to the bodyshell. Looking at this position from the side, it is possible
to move the centre of the gearshift head forward or backward by 40 mm.

The length of the gearshift bar can be adjusted by moving the circlip along the grooves of the adjusting
cylinder and then tightening the retaining nut. Finer tuning is possible by adjusting the rod ends on both
ends of the gearshift bar.

There are also 3 positions for the shift rod available on the shift lever. By changing this position, it is possible
to find the best combination of force required by the driver and distance travelled by the lever.

10.1.4.Handbrake

To adjust the position of the handbrake lever, the length of 278 mm can be modified. Take are to leave a
sufficient thread overlay of the rod end and master cylinder.

There are also 2 positions for the master cylinder available on the handbrake lever. By changing this position,
it is possible to find the best combination of force required by the driver and distance travelled by the lever
in the same fashion as for shifting.

Shift rod position Shifting force required from driver Lever travel

TOP High Short

Handbrakes spacers

The handbrake must also be set from a hydraulic point of view. The rear differential can be disconnected
using a hydraulically operated slave cylinder in the rear differential unit. This system can be tuned on the
handbrake tandem master cylinder.

A preloaded spring, located on the brake side, ensures that the pressure on the brake side will not rise until
the rear clutch is disconnected. This spring must be mounted in accordance with the assembly manual to
ensure correct functioning.

There is a stroke limiter that limits the stroke of the rear disconnecting clutch, so that it is not unnecessarily
long. There are 3 options differentiated by the length of the limiter. These are coloured to facilitate
identification. See the table below.

140/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Part No. Limiter length Stroke limitation Colour

6VT 711 309 A 18.35 mm 2.5 mm Blue

6VT 711 309 G 18.10 mm 2.75 mm Purple

6VT 711 309 B 17.85 mm 3 mm Green

The longer the spacer used, the shorter the travelling distance on the clutch side and the smaller the
pressure value reached in the line.

The opening pressure is 10 bar. If it is not possible to reach this, use a spacer that can enable a longer stroke.

If the opening pressure does not reach the lower recommended value, we recommend bleeding the system
on the HB diff unit. If the pressure is much higher than the upper recommended value, it is possible to use
a longer spacer to limit the stroke of the rear disconnecting clutch.

We recommend using the purple limiter (6VT 711 309 G), which means 2.75 mm travelling distance on the
clutch side of the master cylinder. This should ensure all rear diff units are correctly disconnected, providing
they are correctly bled.

10.1.9.Carjack, setup and use, instructions and servicing

1. Mechanics – setup the jack:


- Setup the minimum height for the punctured wheel work on an appropriate surface
- Adjust the angle between the jack main body and sill pin to under 45°
- Visually check for oil leaks
- Make sure the screw thread on the main body of the jack is covered.
- Do not modify the jack on your own
2. Drivers
- Ensure the car does not roll forward or backwards by applying the handbrake or skid-pan. If
you use a skid-pan, secure the car in the direction of the slope of the road
- When placing the jack into the body sill, the jacking pin must be in max position inside. If not,
there is danger of breaking the sill pin from the jack body
- Jack angle from the car camber – hold the jack by the oil reservoir, maintaining a clearance of
approximately 50 mm between the car and jack oil reservoir
- Lock the hydraulics using the release pressure lever on the jack head to the up position

162/172 User Manual, ŠKODA Motorsport 23.2.2021


Instructions on how to change the hydraulic oil

1. We recommend warming up the oil in the jack a little by lifting the car a few times before the
bleeding.
2. Pump the jack to the highest position.
3. Wedge the jack against a solid object (for example a wall or the edge of a workbench) in the
horizontal position, so that the bleed screws are in the highest spot of the oil reservoir.
4. Open the valve and the bleed screws.
5. Push the jack very slowly and continuously, so the air comes out.
6. Once pushed to the lowest position, immediately close the bleed screws.
7. Check the functionality, and if the jack still needs bleeding, repeat the process.

1. Pump the jack to the highest position.


2. Unscrew the cap, open the valve and drain the oil.
3. Fill with the new oil (the oil we use is Castrol Transmax Dex III Multivehicle), pump the handle to
draw the oil in (be careful not to draw in air). Repeat until the jack is full.
4. Bleed the jack by pumping the handle, pushing the jack down and pump up again. Repeat until all
the air comes out.
5. When the jack is pumped to the highest position, the oil surface should level the thread (orange line
on the picture).
6. Screw in the cap.
7. Perform the bleeding according to the previous page to remove the air from under the cap and
excess oil. (We recommend changing the oil at least once per season.)

Rear Wing Adjustment

1) All dimensions and wing position tolerances are derived from the frontal projection of the top point
of the body (indicated by the horizontal line in the diagram)
2) Both mounting dimensions must be within the tolerances
The wing attachment diagram is based on the homologation form.

The rear edge of the roof sheet metal, the edge of the rear door sheet metal.

Zero gradient of the car is defined with the upper surface of the inner sill – for the calibration of the
horizontal line.

Body shell as a spare part

A rule is in place for exchanging the body shell to prevent unauthorised repair of roll cages and to ensure
the maximum possible safety of the crew. To purchase a new body shell with the indexed safety cage serial
number and identical ‘VIN’ number, it is necessary to return the part of the body shell and roll cage. Below,
you can find the terms and conditions on how to return the original body shell ‘VIN’ number and roll cage
number.

Terms of purchase: The body shell as a spare part:


It is only possible to buy a spare body shell as a replacement for the damaged body shell. The original body
shell ‘VIN’ number will be retained but the safety cage number will be issued with an index. To purchase the
new spare bodywork with a new safety cage index, the VIN number must be cut out from the original
bodywork and returned along with the safety cage label and a part of the main roll-bar tube as shown below
in Picture 3. To register the spare body shell with the ‘FIA’ to request an ‘FIA’ passport, first return the ‘FIA’
passport of the previous body shell to the ‘FIA’.

The serial chassis number is stamped on the left lower corner of the fuel tank cover plate, and it is necessary
to cut out and return the ‘VIN’ number.
