Yes please if you could I'm really missing having it and its only been a few weeks. I'm running out of options, I'm still of the opinion its switch or brake switch related even though there are no codes - only logical thing it can be. Have thought I may swap brake light bulbs as well just in case. Really confusing issue, only other thing I could find was on VW T5 forum looks like its the exact same cruise switch as the fabia and on there one member had taken the switch apart and found it slightly loose - trying to find it again now - possible lead of enquiry. Last resort will be dealer or trusty auto electrician not looking forward to the ££££ it will cost though :(. -

Thats ok I'm not sure if your may have a Fabia III if its a 2016 model though? Think it may have different control modules etc hence the high costs? -

Hi Sorry to revisit an old thread but this sounds like the exact same issue I'm having (https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/462808-cruise-control-not-working/?_fromLogin=1). I just wondered if you ever managed to get the cruise working again. I've been to mechanic again yesterday and we used VDCS again and managed to get into engine 01 and coding 07 long coding helper un-ticked ccs cycled key off went back in and reactivated and still nothing. So far had - new battery not changed anything, changed all fuses related to cruise control, brake lights still work and mechanic says he has tested switch both from ecu and brake lights and it is OK (automatic so no clutch switch) no stored codes at all on VDCS. Been on switch on VDCS and pressing all the buttons shows the codes change as you use switch only thing I could see which didn't alter was that ecu shows 1 all the time (i did wonder if it could still be a fault switch or brake switch and no errors being stored). Not sure what to try next apart from replacing random parts. Mechanic seems to think may be best getting Skoda main dealer diagnostics as their machines are a lot more advanced than VDCS. Before I go to that cost or an auto electrician just checking if this ever got resolved. Thanks David -
Sequential windows not working after a battery change
Fabia00 replied to Lucwal's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
Last time my passenger window would not work at all in the end I put key in drivers for lock and held in unlock position and the windows all went down and then in lock so they all closed and it worked fine after that. Might be worth a try. -
Thanks for the reply, I hoped it would be that but unfortunately not. Had battery replaced and we've gone back in on vdcs still the same let's us in to the 01 engine section but the coding II still greyed out. Have coding 07 but mechanic didn't like altering anything in there as says it may make more problems. Any other thoughts? Cheers David

Hi Not sure if anyone can help. The factory fitted cruise control on my fabia has stopped working out of the blue. Taken it for sevice today to my friend who runs an independent skoda garage and he's connected vdcs and scanned it no faults at all stored, he's shown me switch on Vdcs and it's recognising all positions when switch is used. However he can't get in to recode cruise as the coding II module is greyed out. Not sure what it could be? Only other thing is my battery died as we disconnected it to see if that reset any modules etc and he's ordered a new one, would low voltage affect vdcs or is there anything else that could be an issue? He's ruled out faulty stalk and brake light switch, it's dsg so no clutch switch. Thanks David

I prefer to still have a manual temp gauge even though it is waited to always read 90 in normal conditions to stop people panicking that it has gone to 100 and that the water is boiling. The main reason being is it can help to identify issues such as if a thermostat is stuck etc - my Smart had an issue where the gauge would not go above 60 unless sat in traffic where it would go to above 90 and the fan would kick in and this was down to a lazy thermostat. Had there been no gauge I don't think it would have been picked up. The lights etc at least on the Yaris the cold light goes off at anything above 54 degrees water temp according to scan gauge I have so therefore it could be running cool if the stat were to go. I think it it is a silly thing to cut to save a few pence.

Blank / button on dashboard above clocks
Fabia00 replied to hutchysrs50's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
It may look blank but I'm pretty certain there is a sensor there if climate control is fitted. Believe this is what it looks like if removed: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-FABIA-ROOMSTER-SUN-SENSOR-5J0907539-/282186792605?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 -

Hi, I believe it is the sunlight sensor for models with climate control. Thanks David -
Of the two I think the Polo would suit your mum better the A1 has a really small boot and no chance of fitting a spare wheel on it. Plus the new polo gets a lot of upto date technology and safety kit not around on the A1 as yet. Maybe a left field choice and know you said your dad likes German cars but the new i10 is seriously impressive the quality inside seems like golf level never mind up! or polo and the space is not much less. Probably has a better shape boot than the A1 and you can have the 1.2 top trim for about 12k. David

I know this is an issue on the superb, but I have the same problem on my Fabia been experiencing it for the last few months the speedo needle waves but only seems to happen from 50 mph onwards its particularly bad at 70 mph but the speed itself is constant. Will follow this thread with interest if anyone can find a solution. Have already paid garage to look at it as its out of warrant and they said they couldn't find a fault but its definitely not right. David
