Manual Air Conditioning
That's up to you, but it uses next to no fuel (based on using instantaneous mpg mode at 30mph in 4th and switching it in and out on a flat road).

Fabia mk1 seat height
As others there isn't. The lever on my Octavia is telescopic though, so are you pushing it back in after adjusting?
-
Lost maintenance record
Good guess. And yes, I'd agree it looks good, but it's way cheaper to replace the belt than the entire engine. Your call.

FMIC
If you'd bothered to read the thread properly instead of doing your usual "I'm right and everyone who says something other than 'yes sir, how high sir? three bags full sir' is wrong" you'd have seen me say that up-thread.

SKODA GARAGE WOES
That statement is correct. If SUK (well named) and/or the relevant main stealer are trying to evade liability, you may have to take legal action (oh noes).

Fabia power steering problems?
Well, if you're happy you can handle the unassisted steering for trips you normally do, go for it. You may well be right about the SAS, but you'll need VCDS, OBD11, or a dealership computer to "prove that" to non-VAG "vehicle technicians". Meantime, if you have a PAS fluid reservoir, check the level.

FMIC
Or, put the other way, an FMIC suffers less from heat soak, so you can map more aggressively with a custom map and make more power.

Water in box section
If you type @$user_name, until you get a context menu that shows the user you want, then click on it, you get a hot link that only shows the username. If your just want to thank someone, click the grey bottom right on their post and make it go blue, which increases their rep score and saves bandwidth.

Black smoke, poor acceleration in my SDI
Also @Kharl In which context, can you get ultrasonic injector cleaning if you can't get new injectors?

Off side rear door won’t open nor will window
Hint - The garage owner's wallet is connected to the repair bill, just like your's is. My wallet isn't. Who can give you disinterested advice, garage, or guy on interweb?

FMIC
Ok, now read the actual facts - Gas laws - Wikipedia . Do you still say that compressing air with a turbo doesn't make it hotter?
-
Key fob
Yes, and code it to your car, which would be an issue for anyone else to do in your situation.

Fabia mk4 launch 6pm today (4th May) with launch details
That's interesting; on a 2002 car with Climatronic the only time you need to adjust the fan speed yourself is normally to (de)select demist mode.
-
FMIC
Ah, that's a very different question then. There's no need to remap with a FMIC itself, but you will need a remap with the big turbo, and it would be best to have the FMIC in place first. Oh and ignore anyone who tries to say that the gas laws don't apply to diesel engines. If that were the case, why would TD engines even have intercoolers?
-
FMIC
No, but there's no point unless you're doing further tuning and/or racing the car. What would be a good idea is one of the variations on a Swiss cheese, pikey or Audi grille mod for your RH inner arch, to let out more hot air faster.

How is mid seat belt bolt attached?
Well, in English, the visible bolt is attached to a captive nut inside the box section. What the OP did was force the bolt enough to break the captive nut loose.
-
Key fob
You'd need 1, and normally get 2, if the car is fitted with remote central locking and/or a factory alarm system.

SKODA Octavia Mk2 (Indian version of LAURA type 2) not starting
Well, it's not cheap, but you get more options in a registered copy of VCDS than in the plain download, and more again in the full paid version.

lowering Scala - Eibach Pro-Kit springs
You may know it as "tracking", "alignment", "(suspension) geometry"... Anyway, it's correcting the length of adjustable links, settings of eccentric bolts and positions of adjustable mounts (as applicable to the car) to get the suspension geometry within manufacturer's tolerances.
