[1.2 Tsi petrol - good mpg?]

Our Fabia was ordered on 7th Jan and we took delivery on 24th April (had a few extras) so 14 ish weeks from order to collection. Was originally advised 12 weeks, so not too far out.

Yes. The law is that when your side lights go on, then the DRLs must switch off or dip. Legally you can't have them both on at the same time with the DRL running at daylight brightness.

[Hi all]

Hello there,

Picked up the better half's daily driver last week - a 2013 Fabia 1.2TSi 105ps DSG Elegance with a few extras - Amundsen Sat Nav, electric rear windows, reverse parking sensors, spare wheel, 3 spoke MFSW & small leather pack cornering fog lights, in Denim Blue, and with the zero cost 16" Elba alloy option. We're already fighting over who drives everywhere! Being used to my 130ps 1.9TDI PD powered Sharan, this little thing flies!

I co-run the Ford Galaxy Owners Club (www.fgoc.co.uk) which also has a lot of Alhambra & Sharan owners as the cars are 90% identical, all being made in the same Setubal VAG factory. Most of the electrics and engines are VAG based on all the cars so know my way round VCDS, Vag Tacho, & VDS Pro as there are modifications to the MFU that can be done with all 3 of those on the Galaxy to give some extras not added at the factory.

My previous Galaxy won some show awards as it was a bit different. Don't think the Mrs will let me do the same to the Fabia, but time will tell

Hoping to contribute as well as ask questions, seems a nice place to mooch for a while

[Fabia 3 spoke MFSW.]

We ordered our 1.2TSI Elegance DSG with the 3 spoke MFSW and it's the same as the facelift VRS wheel as posted by Dr Lovebucket.

Which are the correct bulbs for this mod? Are the pins offset or straight in the bayonette? Handbook doesn't tell you any of the replacement bulb types :wonder:
