2011 fabia 1.6 tai glow plug light flashing
joedemp replied to Coopertowers's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
I had similar light used vag com and turned out to be blocked DPF washed clean by professional company and fitted new before and after sensors, which put a lot of pressure on turbo seals slight weep into exhaust side so ended up replacing that too -
Mine had 256mm discs up front and I think around 210/212mm rear, upgraded to 312mm front from a early Audi TT only issue is you have to source fabia vrs front knuckle or hub to have the correct bolt pattern to mount the calliper carrier, rear was updated using new front discs off my car 256mm vented and 1st gen Octavia vrs rear calipers

Either fuse or worn contact in stalk -
I’d guess seal around tailgate, as stated above vent are required so I wouldn’t seal them up, I’ve a hatchback but traced my leak to damaged seal and tail lamp gasket
