Upload to YouTube, then link to Briskoda using our link tool (chain icon).

Quite like the lights too. What are they, because some rectangular Bosch and Cibie units have (optional) covers from stockists?
-
Matters arising:- I really wish I could remember who it was on here who claimed that "petrol engines don't need fuel filters". I'd agree the missing HT spark is coil, cap or rotor arm, unless you've misconnected the new points?

And, indeed a "Fabia SE TSI " would be a mk 2 or later from the trim level and engine badges. FWIW, if you want extra light on the RH rear when reversing in the dark, you can (technically illegally) use the rear fog with the single reversing light. Round about 1985 my Dad had an Au'tin Oxymoron (Maestro), and using the rear fogs on it for reversing in the dark (like the Thistle Centre multi-story) was essential.

No idea what it means, but at least it's a VAG fault code. Try the VCDS Wiki.

Sounds normal if car doesn't have auto hold or it is disabled.
-
Well yes, but it's now a complex example of proof by assertion.
-
This makes me think you have a bad earth on the new RH headlight and/or indicator.
-
Sure about this? The OP is Hungarian and they may have different consumer protection laws to us.

There are 2 actually, under the star and 3 vertical dots icons.

Exactly why? They used to recommend an 80% rim width of tyre width fitment, and I make mounting a 235 tyre on a 7.5J to give an 81% section.

Definitely rust on the discs. My main concern was over the rust on the inside edge of the pad swept area on the LH disc. (see your own photos upthread and compare left and right) Yes, the rust on the outside of the drums is there, and quite normal as per @TMB. As he also says you need to remove the drums to inspect the shoes for wear, and indeed drums likewise. Note that, as drums wear they get larger inside, not smaller or thinner.

Which doesn't actually matter. 2 years, then use a hygrometer to check the water content every 6 or 12 months until you do a change. Then back to 2 years and start with the hygrometer testing again.

Or you could pull the rear arches (instead of or as well as rolling); depends on clearance required.
-
Exactly; they will frequently reference the $industry ombudsman with a statement such as "You must go through our complaints procedure before contacting the ombudsman".
-
Probable clue in how I quoted part of your relevant message.

Looks a bit rusty to me, and if one needs replacing it's best to replace the other one on the same axle.
-
Yes, so you clearly agree my point since DRLs only operate at the front of the vehicle.
-
And I think that having always on rear lights is a safety risk because they partially obscure your brake lights.
-
Which wheel pattern are the stock wheels?
-
Yes and? I've seen a sustained reading of about 120mpg with the car in "instantaneous consumption" mode and running downhill.

By and large, there is someone on-site at a petrol station (owner or manager) who can do basic maintenance and call for a regional support engineer at least 7 hours up to 14 hours a day. Perhaps if Scalex EV charging stations had the same ratio of maintenance staff to vehicle cables; oh wait, that would cost money, which would be extracted from the tax evaders...
-
They may be. They may also contain inner arches, CD stacker and access to rear lights for bulb changing.

Google says "front axle beam"! which is clearly a wrong or over-literal translation, particularly since the car has a compound strut front suspension and not a rigid beam. Also. I'd want to see any "rust" on suspension components since that may be surface rust and not structural.
