Thank you Pete! I´ll try find the right part and let you all know how I get on.

How did you fix this. Where can we buy the panel. Because i am facing the same issue as well

Hi all, Ran the car through a wash earlier today (against better judgement, self service was broken, hose pipe ban and dirty af) and immediately got the yellow exterior bulb warning light on the dash. I've done a walkaround and everything seems to be functioning. Headlights, high/low beams, DRLs, fogs, reversing, and number plate lights are all coming on. There was some water on the headlight housing, but it's sealed and the rubber covers were dry. I haven't been able to check the brake lights properly yet as I don't have a second person but expect they are fine. The indicators are all working, but looking closely at the left wing mirror, it looks like maybe one of the LEDs in the strip might be out? It's very bright outside today, so it is honestly quite hard to tell for certain. My question is: would a single dead LED in that sealed wing mirror unit be enough to trigger the dash warning due to a resistance drop? Or is it more likely just water ingress somewhere else from the pressure washer bridging a connection that will clear up once it dries out? Any thoughts appreciated. Cheers.

Just noticed on the parts diagrams that the Koyo system shows sealing washers for this part that are described as 16mm, TRW system shows ones with 14mm seals. So your system is LHD SMI Koyo, and your expansion hose part number is part number 6Q1 423 893 M (dropped May 2023, superseded to 6Q1 423 893H). Note for UK/RHD car owners. Part numbers for RHD systems are different to what's shown above. Third character is 2 instead of 1, and suffixes will differ too. All UK/RHD systems are TRW as far as I know.

I had this symbol appear yesterday a couple of times and searched the manual plus web but can't find anything about it. Can anybody help please. TIA

Just recently changed the front brakes on my superb, and noticed that both the inner and outer pads had circles on them showing they had been in contact with the brake cylinder. Also shows paint from when callipers were painted so must have been in the wrong position when that was done. someone had put the outer in the inner position and vice versa. And then at some point they had been swapped round and installed correctly. Easy to do on the left if you don’t read the instructions so I thought. What’s more confusing is on the right side it was the same. This side has the wear indicator and the wire isn’t long enough to install on the wrong side. So is this a mark from the cylinder or something else. 🤔 I wonder if part worn brake pads being put into different position might be what created the brake wobble?!

Most likely outbound trip was against the wind and the return journey was with the wind. That, plus variations in traffic and driving style could easily account for your mgg difference. Different fuel would only have a very minor impact, if any at all.

Hello, greetings from the Czech Republic. I managed to buy a 65/100 originally from GB. Octavia is in good hands, it will gradually improve. I use google translate, so hopefully everything is understandable.

Yes, he tried to clear it. But after a restart and it came back up.

So, I got this from ODBEleven. No modifications were done, as far as I know. Does anybody have experience with such error?

There were two different systems made by different manufacturers. You need the right parts according to which system you have. The only difference in the part numbers is the suffix letter, which is important. You have written only the base part number. I will message you asking for your VIN, which will allow me to look up which system you have, and so which is the correct, full part number.

Just a coincidence. I get similar mpg on supermarket fuel.

Wrong Information 85% the GPS Antenne is damage. You can check it With a good Diagnose Tool by unit 75

The 80km/h speed restriction is only relevant if the tyre sizes don't match. Many Fabia MK3 owners will have tyres sizes different from 185/60R15, such as 215/45R16...so in that case the 80km/h speed restriction would be relevant. If you want, you can remove the yellow speed restriction sticker as it's not relevant to this car.

A few from earlier at Attenborough Nature reserve.......... And this evenings sunset............

I tried to record the rattling today. It is better to listen on smartphone than pc. Do you guys think that are lose pads?

It's because it is a steel wheel, not alloy!

I have a Samsung phone and my wife iPhone and both work perfectly fine. I like this function to read the speed signs but it seems that it cannot function without the navigation. It pulls the data from the sign and then after 10 seconds, reversed back to gps/map data and that data is wrong. If I had the option to separate the two, just use the system to read the signs, without any input from the navigation, I would never even touch this problem.

Ah ... that's cheered me up a bit .... thank you! Now to wait till Monday ...... :-)

Almost the same symptoms that drove me mad for months - 'Online Services Controller' - the only difference is my iphone was also affected when connected to the Apple Play in the car.......? That false speed limit business really bugged me - some days the car thought it was on the beach at Skegness - and we live 70 miles from the coast....!

PM'd.

Provided your usual garage has the equipment necessary to scan for DTCs recorded and have suitably qualified technicians, there should be no reason they would not be able to fix the problem.

So I have a SKODA Fabia I Combi (6Y5) 1.2 64 hk which I´m trying my best to keep on the road. The latest issue happened when I suddenly lost power steering while driving off a motorway. When I got it home I noticed a pool of fluid under the hose where it has corroded and leaked over time. I bought a new hose from Autodoc and figured out how to remove the old one. But when as soon as I took the new one out of its packaging I noticed the banjo hose fitting was wrong. The old one has a 16mm opening while the new one has 14mm. See photo. I´ve spent the past few hours trying to find an alternative on Autodoc and other sites. I´ve been seaching other Fabia models and other car models to find a compatible product. Some products list the banjo size, most don´t, as 14mm. The OE number is given as 6Q1 423 893 but I suspect that my one has another number. Hope you guys can help. Anyone else had this issue?

Yes, very likely.
