All sounds very encouraging 👍

They also like to rust on the tailgate around the number plate lights. Also seen it happening on much newer Skodas. Here's a pic of a 2015 Superb....

Wasn't expecting to see that on your car, Tom ☹️

Sensor is part number 06A 919 501A. They are the same on all Mk1 Fabias I think. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184853005255?epid=1748924250&hash=item2b0a1903c7:g:FXkAAOSwXaRgq3DH

Easy to pop a new sensor in. Only buy a genuine one though.

A recipie for disaster 😲

Indeed 👍

I think the trip recorder loses the mileage as well.

10W/40 is the correct oil for the MPI.

No bulbs, Ryan. Everything on the cluster is LEDs.

There are two ways to do the job. If you do it by leaving the lock module on the door you don't have to take the harness out of the bellows. However, taking it out does give the opportunity for inspection for broken/damaged wires.

I've seen it happen with brake flexis. It's a tough one because you've done everything I would have suspected.

Wondering if it might be a flexi hose issue?

Yep 😄

And if you want to do it the other way (to me the far less preferable) by removing the key barrel, lock module assembly, etc....

^ That video is way too simplistic & misses stuff out... - No mention that cars after about 2003 have pop rivets instead of bolts holding the carrier to the door, those rivets have to be drilled out and new rivets obtained and fitted with a suitable rivet tool capable of taking the size. Rivet size 6.4x10mm. Part number N91078801 - The door in the video is missing its wiring harness. The harness has to be fed through holes in the metal panel and connected to the lock module inside the door & to the rest of the door components. - The interior door release bowden cable is missing from that door. It comes from the lock module inside the door and has to be fed through a hole in the panel. - The door lock pin rod is missing from that door and has to be fed through a hole in the top of the panel. - The door speaker is missing in the video. They are pop riveted from the factory & have to be swapped from your old panel. Rivet size 4.8x15mm. Part number N90765701 3 plastic rivets have to be drilled out of the panel in order for the panel to be removed without having to remove the door lock module including the key barrel along with it. The rivets are no longer needed afterwards, they are simply to facilitate factory assembly of lock and panel both together. Once the panel is off, remove the factory plastic bracket and chuck it in the bin. Tape over the 3 holes in the new panel. Plastic rivet locations....

Hmmm, maybe not. Apparently the tweeters are wired in parallel with the door speakers so if the speakers are working you would think the tweeters would be working too. Seems odd for both to go off at once then.

Wire broken in door bellows?

Which side do you need?

All my cars have been old-ish. The one I liked the most was my Mk6 Escort 1.6 Zetec. Beautiful smooth, trouble-free engine. Hard to say what the best car I've driven has been, Audi TT & 2019 Ford Focus Vignale were fun and I've driven a lot of newish hire cars.

This is the Fabia estate but probably the same (or similar) seat catch....

That's right, I haven't touched the gearbox sensor.

The holes in the top seal fit onto two of the multiple pegs on the oil cooler. I don't know if the orientation matters (I doubt it) but if you fit it the same as the one in the following pic - i.e. with one of the holes in the seal next to that oval hole in the oil cooler, it should be fine as that's how it's fitted in most of the pics I've seen....

Top oil cooler seal (038 117 070 A) .... Bottom oil cooler seal (038 117 070) ....

Mine is on a paper label stuck on the rack. Yours might have fallen off/disintegrated. +
