I will give that a go, they are leaving lines on the screen when they sweep away the water, i have checked them already and there is nothing on them.

Mine went on my 2010 car about 2 years ago, its an age thing i think rather than a mileage thing, they just rot.

An odd topic i guess, i have some Bosch wipers at the front which were fitted when i had a new screen put in due to a crack..... they are rubbish, can anyone give a link to wipers that are meant for a 2010 Fabia, front and rear. Thanks

I do hear of a lot of negative feeback on the 1.6 TDI, but i have a 2010 model with 101k on the clock and have owned it from a few years old, it has been a great car, a few things have gone wrong and i have fixed them, nothing too major and i have serviced it every year....... it does what i want it to do and is reliable. Maybe i have been lucky, not too sure, its not a cat N or anything else, i have NOT had the fix done. I like it, and intend to keep it many more years until 2030 when i will buy the best petrol car i can and keep that until i don't need to drive again.

I would love to see a decent after makret system fitted and how it was achieved, either in the Mk3 or the newer model,

It was originally 75bhp remember...... it really is night and day to how it was before.

But won't the used one likely have the very same issue ?? Its down to build quality and a poor design by Skoda.... they will all be the same, i would say it is best to totally make the one you have good and then repaint, but using a better gasket which does not hold the moisture.... worrying that the Mk3 has the same issue, do manufacturers never learn.

Agree, i was looking for a member who may have looked at this problem before they purchased and have already got the biggest box already, i was looking at getting a Thule one as the build quality seems to be there, but the Ocean 80 looks a tad small.

Just to add to my post above..... i have NOT had the fix done..... this may add to why i have had zero major issues and just the usual little things go wrong.

I can only speak for the 1.6TDI, I have recently had it remapped....... it is amazing now, but then again it was the 75bhp version ! So anything is an improvement, I am getting around the 145bhp with around another 60 torques. It is simply safer for me to exit junctions and enter motorway slip roads. I would thing it depends on the kind of driving you do and if you need the fuel consumption.

Good Morning All, I have managed to source myself a set of genuine Skoda roofs bars for my 2010 Fabia Hatchback..... can anyone tell me what the max size of box i can go for which will not overhang the front and allow the tailgate to open unhindered ??? Thanks

Most certainly not Xenon so i thin Halogen.

I still have the standard bulbs in my 2010 1.6TDI so am after something a lot better, i am not after changing any electrics, adding a generator, fitting a nuclear power-pack..... just the best bulbs i can get to fit in where the old ones will be taken out. Thanks

That looks very nice indeed, it stands out for all the right reasons.

Spotted them but i only need them around September so i think i can afford to wait a bit to see if something comes up near to my location or they will post.
