TMB

Have to replace the whole plastic panel. They have three screws holding them on underneath. There is a slot in the plastic to slide the seatbelt out of them.

First listing I looked at had the size.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153545146750?

Get a genuine one too. Some of the cheaper ones are poor. Part number 06A 919 501 A

That would explain it as it does have electric front windows too!

Bog standard Fabia Classic here. Has factory remote locking. No doubt chosen as a cost option when new.

Yes

On the bleed nipple.

If it's any help, the part number is coming up as 6Y2 955 409

Had my drivers one out a long time ago because it was squeaking. I lubricated something under the seat base and it's never squeaked again. I don't know about the backrest though, unfortunately.

No 🙂

Wonder if someone treated themselves to it for Christmas 🙂

Part number should be 1J6 955 651

Me too, I love a good old post-mortem. There are some rubbish parts out there.

Must be a faulty batch of pumps.

What brand of gaskets are you using? Are you you setting the head bolts to the correct torque settings?

I knew what MLS meant.

Nope.

I don't know if it's MLS tbh, but it's still going strong nearly two years later.

I couldn't get a TEMAC one so I used a Victor Reinz one.

Did you get the cylinder head skimmed?

There are some genuine ones on ebay.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3814320.m570.l1313&_nkw=038957147F&_sacat=0

It should go in pretty easily. Have you got the right part?

Not sure which oil cooler bolt you mean but here's the diagram.... https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2007-453/1/115-115060/
