One of the pipes might have popped off or the bottle could be cracked if it hasn't had adequate strength screewash in it. Here's a video of how to do the job....

I think the rocker cover would fit on the engine but they are different part numbers. One difference I can see is that the Felicia one doesn't have the tapped hole for the air filter mounting engine cover. 5

@Lee is a top guy. He once sent me a trim piece for my centre console.

OK mate, no probs

If you wanna PM me and tell me where to send it I will buy it for you.

Yeah at least you have the number

I've lightened your pic up. If you look at the shape pressed into the metal it definitely looks like that clip...

Actually, I think this might be it... https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/6y0809931-retaining-spring-19030.html

Yeah I see your issue. I guess the little doohicky isn't sold as a spearate part from the filler housing.

^ Ah, I see the bit you mean.

Isn't the spring integral with the cable as in this video?....

^ Love The Fast Show 😁

Funny that, I've just eaten a couple of Jaffa Cakes

Same on mine. I have heard people say that the heater sometimes isn't as good on diesel models.

Thanks mate but I'm getting another car this year so not really worth bothering with it. AnnoyingPentium will hate me for this but I'm thinking of getting a Toyota Aygo

I had those on mine but thought they seemed a bit harsh so changed them for Meyle HD ones. I made my own tool to install them...

The early console bushes failed on all Fabias, not just the diesel ones.

Yeah, some of the prices are crazy.

Part number 6N0609589. If you Google that part number you will see various places selling them.

It does't mean a thing. If anything it means he hasn't a clue what's wrong.

Very wise

AnnoyingPentium's reverse gear selection issue isn't related to the gearbox oil anyway. If it crunches it's probably the clutch sometimes not fully clearing. Changing the fluid and bleeding may help.
