Sorry I misunderstood mad monk. It was my driver seat creaking/squeaking. I thought you were referring to the front seat :-(
-
Is that from underneath or from the side etc please because this was twice rectified by a dealer but it's been ages since it reoccured and out of warranty now so will be a diy job if/when it reoccurs.

1.6 tdi update: timing belt every 5 years
jaxx007 replied to jaxx007's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
Phone a dealer, ask them to check the Interval. All you need to give them is the reg plate and they can tell you when your service is due, brake fluid, fuel filter and timing belt intervals etc over the phone. -

I thought they were supposed to be long-life belt to begin with but it doesn't sound like a long-life belt from your post :-( -
I took my car for a service yesterday and asked for the price of timing belt, water pump, tensioner etc because my car is 4 years old in march. They said all in for 400 but they had a bulletin updating the interval to 5 years instead of 4. They entered my reg on the system and it brought up when everything was due for a service/change and the timing belt was 5 years or 140, 000 miles or km (can't remember which). Anyway needless to say I was very pleased. :-D

I occasionally have this with mine. Also when I get out after a drive sometimes only the drivers door unlocks and I have to get the kids out through the window. Happens about once a month but kids aren't always in when it happens so ut doesn't bother me then. It's still a PITA though.

Not quite the same bur a mate had a pug 307 1.6 and stuck the type r badge from a cuvic on the boot. He thought it was the dogs doodahs, but In reality it looked daft. As said above though, it's your car and as Cheryl Crow would say "if it makes you happy, it can't be that bad"

I have the exact issue th3 grinch has. Had it on 2 separate fabias. My kids are scared of it cos they think they are trapped. I end up taking them through their windows. It's a PITA.

I have the data sticker in my service book but I didn't understand what it meant to be honest. No mention on it of 9202 or 4k4k though.

Sorry for the late reply but my local dealer quoted 4k4k. I've sent off for the painted mirror now quoting cappuccino beige 4k4k...

I had a wing mirror smashed off by, some silly person. Anyway to have ta replacement painted I require the paint code for a cappuccino beige 11 plate fabia. Does anybody know the paint code please? Thanks in advance Ian.

Thank you for your reply Phil. :-)

P.s, I have climate control if that makes any difference. ..

I did a search and found nothing but I was hoping somebody knows how to get cooling a/c air flow through the under seat vents for the rear passengers? I ask because we're off on our family holiday so I'd like the kids to feel the benefit of these to cool them, rather than having the windows down at motorway speeds (very noisy). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Does aanyone know if the dash controls havento be set on a certain setting to utilise the under seat vents??? TIA Ian.

It was constructive. Many people believe those who have "burn ups" at the lights are idiots or bell ends. Jigger is clearly one of those. I personally think it is a bit immature. I thought it was cool up to the age of 22 though so it is forgivable providing you are in a certain age group.
