Hi Everyone, just to let let you know that next week my Fabia VRS 14 plate is going. I’ve had to change to a diesel as we are moving away and my journey to work will be 3 times further each way. The only problems I’ve had with is it a small engine sensor fault and a light failure wiring fault both fixed by my warenty for Free. No oil problems. 37k on the clock. my only criticism is the hard ride and the large steering wheel. Apart from that she’s been great. A lot of fun and always gives the BM’s and Audi’s a shock when you put your foot down. thanks to everyone on here who helped me. all the very best, J

Thanks for your reply Lightrain. Your train of thought makes a lot of sense actually. ive cleared all the faults for now but the indicator ones always come straight back on and the engine light came on a week ago so I will give the garage a call.

Hi there everyone, i was was wondering what the manufacturer specific code 04238 means on my carista obd diagnostic. I got the engine warning light up again today and it showed this code and the turn right and left control module code too. should I get Skoda to replace the turn modules? what does the engine code mean? Is it relating to misfires? The car is a bit shaky at low revs but appears to run ok once warmed up. I use shell V power fuel. many thanks All,

Thanks for the reply rum4mo. I will plug in again in the next day or two and check out the exact code whilst I’m checking the rest of the lights. i do have LED bulbs in the interior/map reading bulbs (forgot about those) wondering whether to change them back to normal bulbs if it’s going to cause a problem.

Thanks for your reply’s guys - really helpful. i must admit I’ve not checked absolutely everything yet. for sure I’ve checked the rear number plate and side indicator bulbs (in the wings) and I did check all the back lights except the brakes lights. im curious though, when I plug my Clarista Module in it says that my indicators are at fault yet they all work? How accurate is that? thanks again,

Yes I thought that - but no only normal bulbs in there.

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone could assist with this. I've had a bulb failed light on my Fabia VRS dashboard pretty much since I bought the car in March. (the yellow light on the dashboard that looks like a light). My local skoda (Croydon) have had a look but Im pretty sure they just reset the OBD just light I've already done several times with my Carista app. The warning light only comes on when I put my lights on via the switch. If I turn it off the warning goes. I'm certain no bulbs have failed. Any assistance would be appreciated - thank you.

Wow what a difference the steering adjustment made - the car is totally different to drive. Can really throw it round the bends now So so glad I didn't have to pay for a new ac compressor. The service lady told me it was £535 for a new one yikessss! Wow Mr Grindel looks like you seriously saved some money there. not a penny charged for the hire car or the fix/steering adjustments - what a relief.

Hi Everyone, I don't know if you remember me mentioning my air con making a whinning noise when switched on - the pitch changed with the engine and gear change. Well today the local Skoda garage replaced my Aircon compressor. (£200 about when I looked up the part) and my steering has been adjusted to make it lighter for Parking. My wife found it heavy. I don't know if this was done in the Vag or not. There was not option on my dongle when I plugged it in. Fortunately all done under my extended warenty and they lent me a brand new Yeti Auto SEL FULL leather to drive around in. Which was very kind of them. anyone else had their compressor replaced before? all the best,

Thanks bobster I will bear that in mind if I get any problems with the engine. Good to know you had a positive experience. only problem I have is whining sound from the air con when switched on which changes pitch with the engine and a bulb failed light but all my bulbs are working.

When I purchased my VRS it was from a Skoda Dealer in leamington spa. i paid £8k on a march 14 plate and they recon' all the alloys, new tyres all round and 1st Mot with 2 free services. 30k on the clock. A great deal I think. theyre are not many at dealers though over 3 years old. But the ones I see on autotrader are quite expensive. have a good hunt around - if you have over 6k to spend you may even find a 12 or 13 plate with the newer engine in. Might be a safer bet. also consider PCP on a newer car 13 or 14 plate comes with free services and 1 years warenty. good luck, J

Thanks Thanks for that I will let the garage know at the next service. I thought it might link to the engine somehow. Though it's not been doing it much of late.

Hi Ed, the carista dongle and iPhone/android app is very straightforward. Also it gives you a month free on the pro version of the app which lets you adjust the lighting/locking etc. have a search on the net is all there. yeh I think I will have to switch to momentum too as Shell is very expensive here too. going to change all the Lights to LED this week ( as much as I can)
