Hi All, Recently started driving a nice 2003 reg 1.9 SDI mk1 Fabia estate that had been sat garaged for 3 years (run daily before this). Did the usual, change of all fluids etc and it runs great. It has a strange clutch issue though which I am hoping to pin down. Occasionally (maybe once a month) when the clutch pedal is pressed, it only raises a very small amount when lifting my foot back up. i.e the pedal stays almost fully depressed. Then if I press the pedal down again, when lifting my foot back up for the second time, the pedal comes up to normal height, but when it does so the clutch grabs almost instantly on the pedal travel, much further down compared to the usual biting point. Enough to lurch the car forward and almost stall. Then when pressing the clutch in again and releasing, the pedal acts normally, and the biting point is back to normal. I cant say whether the clutch is actually engaged or not when the pedal is sat almost to the floor after the first press, as every time it has happened I have been going in to neutral coming to a stop (and so I have pressed it again to get in to gear). Hopefully that makes sense! Other than when the issue above occurs, the pedal feels totally normal. Not stiff, loose etc. No strange noises, biting point is normally about half way up the pedal's travel, car has 83k on it. The issue was present before the brake fluid change + bleed. To my knowledge the issue wasn't present prior to the car sitting. Any ideas? Thanks!

I guess not, six years later and the resistor has failed again. Currently trying to locate another fan and came across my own post 😁

Thanks, I'm going to pull the interior light fitting down and try to investigate further. Though I'm guessing that because the light comes on manually and with key out of ignition the ground is ok. I'm struggling to work out what both doors share which could communally affect both. The buzzer doesn't work either so I'm convinced that the car doesn't know that the doors are open.

I suppose yes it could. Both were working last week though so they would have had to have failed within days of each other. Not impossible I guess...

I will check and get back to you. Came across this diagram (attached). Struggling to read it though. Neither door is operating the light so it can't be the door switches.

Hi All, I have a 1.9 SDI 2001 Reg Skoda Fabia. It's the classic model with no central locking, no alarm, no glovebox or boot light and no electric windows A few days ago when getting in the car at night I noticed that the interior light had not come on with the door being opened. I have since read a tonne of threads about interior light issues but none seem the same as my symptoms. My current findings are below: 1. Interior light does not come on when driver or passenger door is opened. 2. "Lights left on" buzzer no longer comes on when driver's door is opened once the key has been removed. 3. Interior light does come on when manually put in to the "always on" position. 4. Interior light does come on when key is removed from ignition after engine on. 5. Interior light comes on and then immediately goes off again when starting the engine. My first thought would be the driver's door microswitch (i.e the car doesn't know the door has been opened). But that doesn't explain why the passenger door doesn't turn it on either. Being that the car has no central or electronic locking I don't know if the door open switch is the same as those with? I've read about the 10amp fuse (fuse4?) but assume that's ok as the light does function (just not when the door is opened). Is that true or is there a separate fuse for the door switch? Any help would be appreciated.

Not a Vrs. A 2003 1.9 SDI 🙂. So is there any difference to the bumper shape at all if I was to get one from a 2007 hatchback?

Hi all, My Fabia got rear ended and I'm looking for a rear bumper. During my search I've noticed that some are listed as 2000-2007 and others as 2004-2007 "facelift" but all for a mk1 What exactly is the difference? My Fabia is a 2003 reg. Is it likely to be pre or post facelift? I've googled to death but can't find much on it. Thanks in advance!

Could anyone tell me the difference between the MK1 and MK1 "facelift" rear bumper? I have found one from a 2007 Fabia and it says "2004 -2007 facelift". My Fabia is 03 and I'm wondering if it will fit? Thanks!

I searched every key word I could think of and that listing didn't show. Thanks for linking. Unfortunately you are too far away from me and that bumper is in pretty rough shape so a days driving wouldn't be worth it, the rest of the car has almost mint bodywork so I was looking for one in better condition. Thanks anyway though.

Could you provide the link?

Hi All, I've just been rear ended and am in need of a Mk1 rear bumper (preferably in Black Magic) Can anyone help? Thanks!
