Hello and Welcome to Briskoda.

 

Timing Belts should be changed every 60k miles (100k Km) or every 4 years. I'm not sure what you mean by maintenance book. If you mean service book, (maintenance history of car) then probably a Skoda dealer may have one or check eBay. If you mean a maintenance manual you can buy a Haynes workshop manual to do maintenance yourself.

 

Not sure about window problem, could be a glitch in computer. Try re-setting it. Put key in door lock, turn to unlock and hold until windows go down, then lock and hold until all up, then try windows again.

Welcome to briskoda. I don't wish to be pedantic, but you say you have a 2008 FABIA1 .I'd suggest that this is a 2008 MK2 Fabia, and advice best asked for in that forum, although MODS might like to consider moving.

Car is manufactured in 7/2007, but in my licence year of manufacture is 2008. In Croatia everything is possible. It is Fabia 1 6Y. Is Mobil 5W/40 ok for that engine? What about spark plugs, 30000 km or more. Previous owner has changed plugs and has put wrong code plug, it should be Beru Z202, and he has bought Z193. Car is starting normaly and is going fine. What about that?
