The below foam and jack kit can be ordered for the Fabia MK4 from any VAG parts department by quoting the relevant OEM part number, ie. 6VA093860A. The VAG parts department can confirm whether this is correct for your vehicle by reference to the car's VIN number. The Czech price on "skoda eshop cz" is 2079CZK which is about £74. The below foam and jack kit uses a 185/65R15 5.5Jx15 ET40 5/100 57.1 spare wheel.

How do I figure that out?

I know about that, hence my surprise that you actually admitted to using Tesco fuel after you posted this.

Interesting, how have you done that?

Turn your cornering lights back on and see if that brings them back. My Sharan has AFS lights and when one of the static cornering lights bulbs was out it disabled the AFS headlight function. Also, there is definitely and off switch for AFS as I have the option on the display to disable bend lighting, so there must be an equivalent VCDS option somewhere.

Hi, are you still active here or on the YouTube video? I am looking for a way to connect with you.

Nope sorry @Gaz ... It's actually not a bad drive, is from part of the Stellantis group and has lots of little 'easter egg' (unfortunately not of the chocolate variety) motifs all round it harking back to it's WWII forefathers. Enough of a clue??

Is this a LHD car on UK motorways?

What's the best oil for a.... Brand SKODA Model Karoq Engine 2.0 TDI 4x4 (110kW) Fuel type Diesel Production year 2020 - 2025

There's this? IMG_0754.HEIC AFAIK all recalls were actioned. I got the vehicle late 2014 from a Skoda dealer.

I dont have the vehicle yet - only just ordered it but hoping to avoid the Gitis if possible

Got mine from The Wheel Shop on Ebay. Wheel plus full kit (jack, etc) for approx £100.

are u running 8740 or 8755?

If the rate of recharging keeps going up as quick as it has been recently ie 1 MW charging and faster, perhaps we will get a similar trigger mechanism, maybe with a locking trigger like US and Canada, bar Quebec province as state government don't trust their citizens !

Tescos had contaminated fuel a fuel years back. Silicone contamination. Quite a few people got compensation for engine damage. £8M paid out. Thurrock plant contamination.

Could be worth asking Skoda if they will contribute to the cost via a goodwill gesture as the part hasn't lasted as long as it should have? Do you have a main dealer service history?

I think you missed the point of my comment, I was saying that you don't get sidetracked talking to other drivers when doing a splash and dash or even a full refuel with liquid fossil fuel because you have to be there, squeezing the trigger for the fuel to flow to your tank, unlike an EV. Of course, rain, snow, etc is going to have just as much impact on the rolling resistance of an ICE car as it does on an EV; that's pure physics.

Hi Andy, Audio Tech Direct have a comprehensive list of aftermarket Head Units for Skoda Cars. hope tthis helps.https://audiotechdirect.com/oem-style-units/skoda/

@lol-lol The Superb they used was a standard one and the only things modded were the fitment of low rolling resistance tyres, which many owners do as well. The only other thing they did was lower the suspension by 15mm to match that of the Greenline version. All Superbs have a smooth underfloor, unless someone has not replaced the various undertrays after doing a service on the car? The fuel tank holds 66 litres because it is a bigger car than the B and C-segment cars you mentioned; the Superb is D-segment and so has a heavier weight and has a larger wind resistance to overcome. An Octavia is a C-segment car and has a 50-litre tank, but their WLTP ranges are broadly similar, so the extra 16 litres did not give it any advantage in range. As to the fuel being chilled to allow more fuel to be stored in the tank, as far GWR is concerned, that is not allowed. What was that about Tesco fuel destroying ICE engines with water and other debris in their fuel, and yet you use it for your 5p and 8p-a-litre discount vouchers, which you use up? 🤨

Unfortunately not, I'd already checked there. We do have a couple of non-Skoda ones in the boot though.

Thx for the reply. You didn't find the eibach pro kit too firm for daily driving? Also i thought that for optimum performance you should use b8 shocks with the pro kit because the oe-spec shocks would wear out faster, thus the use of shorter shocks like the b8's.

Crank sensor on the 1.4/16v is on the back of the block, low down, pointing in towards flywheel area. The sensor has a captive cable, I think, with a plug/socket somewhere higher up, in the area of the top of the dipstick tube, from memory. Check spark plug for cylinder 3 first, and if that's OK, change the pencil coil if it has individual coils on each plug, which I think will be the case on a 2003 1.4/16v.

Just wondered if anyone could recommend an aftermarket space saver spare wheel and tyre for a 2025 Mk4 Fabia Design edition. Thanks in advance.

Just as an update as I said I would. Drove the car this morning in the dark - right side of the motorway was kept in the dark, trees on the left were lit up. So mine all looks fine to me. 2021 L&K with Full LED Matrix etc
