Those cars decades ago had halogen lights. Those make a lot of heat. Led’s dont do that. Hense the condensation.

EPC relates to 'Electronic Power Control', so the likes of the electronic throttle on the car, for example. It would be more worthwhile (and a damn sight cheaper) to have the car connected a diagnostics system to retrieve codes rather than playing a game of parts darts, as there's only so much we can do over the Internet without codes and suchlike to work with.

Sounds like worn brushes in the fan motor. Sometimes they touch the commutator, sometimes they don't.

Entirely possible, I'd say even probable. The alternator is beneath the Aircon compressor isn't it. Not a lot of room. Some removal and maneuvering I'd say required photos of your specific model, engine and which air con pipes you are referring to would allow more comment.

There is no dehumidification unless the ambient air is already hot and humid and the Aircon is set to chill it, in which case some of the humidity condenses out as it hits the cold evaporator element and drains from the airbox through a pipe onto the road below. EPC light will generally come on if there is an emissions control fault, it's probably not worth worrying about unless it happens again.

I suggest considering the below as an appropriate standby for future such extended imbibings ... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004487974376.html

It used to be recommeded that you could sound your horn to give warning when approaching a blind bend or blind hump-backed bridge (daylight hours only). For this to be effective the horn needs to be loud enough for approaching drivers to be able to hear the horn over the noise of their engine and potentially loud music.

Hi My 2012 car has the CAXA engine and has covered 107000 km. No problems, I find plenty of power when needed. I think maybe the wastegate actuator is on your turbo is sticking. Maybe the spray is a lubricant which prevents it sticking for a few days ? I recommend you fit just a new actuator, no need for a complete new turbo. I do not think the remap is connected to the wastegate problem. Maybe you don't need a remap, just fix the original problem ? Can you read error codes ? See this video:

Sounds like the old story “I’m in such-and-such 4x4 so I’m invincible”. The most important part of the driver/car/tyres combo is the nut behind the wheel. If he/she’s not doing their part properly then there’s a good chance it will all end in tears. Gratuitous winter pic of my long dead Disco 3, may she Rust In Pieces. Mind you, I by far preferred off roading in warmer climates. She loved trips to the sandbox. 👍 😀

None 😞

Not sure about coding but Id guess they need it as they may be under safety regs due to being a warning light. For other interior lights Kufatec do complete LED units which I want to go for in the boot as they'll be better than bulbs. However, bulbs are a good upgrade.

well, its a Christmas Miracle! havnt been able to go rip the glovebox out as, well, its been christmas with kids! and today we were heading for a woodland walk. out i wandered, got everyone strapped in and fired up donkey 2, and.... the fan started blowing again all on its own at fan setting whatever it was at on Saturday when id been into town. god knows if its permanently fixed or if its gonna pop its clogs again tomorrow, next week, next month, but for now at least i have a demisting and warm cabin again without doing anything

There, FYP, Happy New Year.

Mod completed. Cloned speedo arrived just in time for Christmas Having a speedo and Radio unit from the same donor car made a job much more easier. I wont be complaining that's NOT a maxidot instrumant cluster. I am so pleased with the outcome!! 😏 This would not be possible without @maxychat and @RickB directing me to The Guy in the Netharlands! Thank You!!

Try another dealer maybe?

Hi all, Thanks for the help with part numbers, ultimately sourced discs from VW dealer direct online and went with the TRW brake pads listed above. Thanks,

These bulbs solved the problem! I cant believe! No resitor needed! They work in all 4 turn signals both in fabia mk1 pre FL and FL!

Be sure to have it done, and correctly. Service Managers are not Technicians or Mechanics. Sadly. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/501456-front-differential-to-gearbox-oil-leak Those buying used ones need to be aware that Full Main Dealer Service History might be a history of not serviced to a Schedule, Recommendations or Guidelines because Dealership staff do not know what those actually are.

Yes you Are correct its not a mechanical LSD, ...didnt realise they needed oil change tho, I'll ask my local dealer as Service Manager stated that for my Yr3 service it would only be oil/oil filter change

Like @AnnoyingPentium I'm thinking check the linkage adjustment first.

All of the above. As specified in manual. Assume garage is competent as owner bought same model Fabia, for son's fiance a few years. Been going there 10 years also local Mot centre. Car in good shape. Done 55,000 miles. I was so surprised when car slowed to stop and EPC light came. Started OK after few minutes stop and light has not recurred since. Will take into garage ASAP but not possible before end of week.

I have heard it suggested that instead of one of the Bhuddist-inspired chants to accompany and promote meditation one could consider instead "Windows95, Windows95, Windows95 ...".

I take it this will be a moment of subjective time, not of objective time - at least where floppy disks and Win98 are mentioned ... Hopefully you will be able to partake of some seasonal libations whilst you persevere?

I suspect the REVO dude is blowing smoke. Is this an employee of REVO or of a company that is a Dealer for REVO products. Is he a mechanic or motor engineer,? So before the Remap was done and there was talk of needing any updates of Turbo or wastegate were the Spark Plugs checked or replaced? The Air filter renewed, basically a minor servicing done? ? What octane of petrol do you run. is it 98 ron or greater? These are the people that know their stuff. http://rtmgperformance.com

Hi! Yes mine is doing it from the first day I got it. It has the 1889 software, dealer doesn't want to try an upgrade because I can't prove that it is resetting with a video. You can hear it clearly that it is resetting to a flat eq, also it is resetting the sound focus too. (I'm using it to focus only to the front seats and eq set to rock and from rock to individual, that's get you the most bass out of that subwoofer.) So I have to reset every time I jump into the car. Very annoying. If you have any solution please post it here. Thanks!

Installation list is normally pretty easy to figure out on that generation of car. Add things that aren't registered and remove things that are missing will get you pretty close. Can you add an autoscan from VCDS 👍

I probably could clean up the alternator with a wire brush. It's really not too bad though. For a car that was built to be disposable, it was really well built. It's a stout engine aside from a weak oil pump design. Think a lot of the reason this engine looks so healthy is because it would have never been neglected maintenence wise. I wonder if my work would have any records of it, considering they sold it new. It still has the original dealer sticker on the back, and a keytag with works name on it. Really debating putting a weber on now. Sort one thing on the hitachi and another problem crops up. For the little while it was going right. It drove absolutely fantastic. I did add another fuel filter just before the carb, to help stop the carb getting gunked up again.

Just look how clean everything is inside the rocker cover! I don't know if you are old enough to remember say Ford X/flow push rod engines in their day but everything would have been caked in black clag, the tappets would have needed constant adjustment and would still be noisy because of indented rockers, you would have to remove them to remove the indents on an oilstone and in doing so would see how worn the rocker shaft was, you would then refit it upside down to gain a few more thousand miles wear, this would be on engines that had covered 30K miles upwards sometimes even less. By 80k if you were able to nurse the engine to that stratospheric mileage you would no longer need to adjust the tappets, you could no longer hear them for big end knock, main bearing rumble, timing chain rattle and piston slap!! You would also hav had to decoke the engine at least twice to get to that mileage. If you look at the picture showing the old belt on the pulley with the valve gear behind, if you crop out the parts of the photo showing the corrosion on the alternator body you would say that engine was less than 12 months old and had done less than 1000 miles, or at least thats what a Ford, BL etc engine of the day would have done to have looked like that. In my experience all Jap engines since the mid 70's look like that internally even when they have never had an oil change, just think how good the sealing must have been around the timing belt covers for the belt and especially the cam pulley to remain like that.

Carburetors still being a ****. If its not filling with crap from the tank its the cork gasket not wanting to seat. On the brightside though I finally have a logbook in my name for it. Anyway. Set about checking the valve lash so popped the valve cover off. Turns out it's the 1.2l Justys that are 3 valve. Even though its the same Engine ""prefix"" for the 2, the 1l is 2 valve. For some reason. All of them were set exactly to the specs shown on the bonnet, so I left them be. Then I started on the timing belt. I took off the alternator belt. Obviously well past due, have a new Meyle one for it. There's an access port you can get to by removing a plug in the drivers side wheel well. Didn't bother removing the wheel, locked it hard and that gave me plenty of access. Pic of the old subaru belt on it. Looked okay. Didn't look like it was going to fail any time soon anyway. Old Belt vs the new Gates one. Didn't bother replacing the idler pulley as it was fine. Really not in bad shape for how long it must have been on there. New Belt on. And done. Only took about an hour. Didn't start it as the top of the carb is off again. One last thing is I was gifted a Cassette to aux adaptor for this. Bit pointless considering. But proved that the cassette player works flawlessly.

I model i just love. Especially looking just like this.

Racingline remap is also already available. +100 BHP over stock. Quite impressive numbers. https://www.racingline.com/ea888-4-garrett-software

@automassThat is not my list. Skoda publish that. A generalisation sort of coverall that causes more confusion than it needs to. Even people on a Main Dealer Service Desk are often clueless, as are their supervisors. That is the issue, getting the correct info from Skoda UK. Even dealership employees and contractors get it wrong because the published stuff can be guff. Obviously that 40,000 applies to the DSG it applies to which is not those at 80,000 or not requiring an oil change. & it is not @ 4 years. (There is a way of changing the oil. the way it was done when there was a World Wide Recall & a Service Campaign, 2012 & 2014 in Europe. & how some people do it. There are 2 oils, in the box and in the MCU. You do not need to do it though.) ...................................................................... THIS CHART BELOW IS FROM A 'TPS' WEBPAGE. SKODA / GROUP DO NOT MAKE IT EASY FOR OWNERS TO FIND THIS INFORMATION ON THE SERVICE SCHEDULES / REQUIRMENTS.

Under inflate the tyres and over torque the wheel fasteners, tyre fitting golden rules😂

hopefully ill get to have a look later tonight... ill also take some pics as i go so theres a bit of a guide for the next guy who doesnt know how to do it.

Park facing the sunshine (on a day with sunshine forecast) 😀

Most likely a wiring problem in the driver's (LHF?) door bellows, needing the wires continuity checked, and maybe a new door loom.

Thought I would update, From another forum, When your phone is connected via CarPlay, when the phones home screen is displayed, press the Skoda icon, and it will take you to the screen that enables you to switch between phones for CarPlay. Easy when you know how.

Another consideration is the Hankook Kinergy 4S 2. In German all weather tyre tests they came 3rd place with Vredestein Quatrac and Bridgestone Weather Control in 2nd and 1st place. I've been super happy with them so far. Have driven in all weather conditions including some awful thick snow and ice through the country etc. They're nice and quiet and fuel economy has also been excellent.

So I've had chance over the last few days to test out the Hankook Synergy 4S all seasons. We've had a load of snow and crazy cold weather (was -17c last night!) so the snow just isn't melting. I am super impressed. I've been up and down hilly country roads, through the town in start stop, roundabouts, car parks etc. Been spot on and really good grip and feedback. There was only one time where I got stuck. I parked up at work in fresh snow scraping on the bottom of the car. Then it snowed all day. I tried to drive off but the snow under the tyres had melted and turned to ice and then I couldn't push through the snow. Had to dig a bit of snow out the when and then managed to get out.

Hello Finaly i have done it with the help of Vagguide. https://m.facebook.com/vagguide/ My car is 2016 version , i had to change BCM and GATEWAY so that everything was functional. I had to replace the trim under the dashboard was well . This retrofit depends on the MY of the car , after MY17 i think you only need virtual cockpit.
