OK, not exactly what you asked for, but. I am from Denmark, and ordered the sister "Scala" TSI 1.0 late February. It was at the dealer April 26. The letter of conformity was signed by the manufactures quality management April 12th. So approx two week build-to-dealer here in Scandinavia. However they advised me, that delivery would be mid to late june if the engine was the 1.4 TSI version.

If you move the steering wheel ever so slightly, the engine will restart.

Have you tried to reboot the infotainment? Press and hold the on/off button for more than 10 secs., and wait till the system has restarted. Sometimes it helps.

In really slow traffic (rush hour), I put the gearlever in manual, thus ensuring it will stay in 1 gear. In D it has a tendency to shift up too early, in my opinion. Otherwise I always leave it in D, using kickdown for quick overtaking. BTW the Fabia 1.2 TSI DSG just passed 250.000km without engine/transmission issues.

I have the basic standard unit with 4 loudspeakers, and I find it better than the standard in Fabia II. However when listening to Pink Floyds 'One of these days' I need to turn the bass off to prevent damage to the mid-range loudspeakers. The standard system does not have bass loudspeakers.

It could be a battery problem. Since my car was new , in may 2015, it would only charge to 70 pct. Three months ago I bought a pulse charger for ATM battery and gave it 5 to 10 mins. charge. Now it charges to 80 to 90 pct. But I drive long distances, and I think there are other treads mentioning that the battery is too weak for driving short distances.

Once a month I put the lever from D to N and apply the handbrake slightly to remove corrosion from the rear discs. Of course securing that no car is behind me. No problems shifting back from N to D as long as you do not touch the accelerator pedal.

My 1.2 TSI DSG, now two years old and 87kkm and DSG still working faultlessly.

Looks like tension. I have not had it on the Fabia III, but on the previous Fabia II the windshield had to be replaced every second year due to tension damage.

Ah OK - thanks for the explanation BTW that is rather ridiculous ...

Lack of one-touch windows Hi Just out of curiosity, my Fabia III 2015 is an european left hand drive, and the drivers window has one-touch, while the three other windows lack one-touch. Could it really be so silly, that right hand drive cars has one-touch on the passengers side?

Today the 20th of January 2017, this old fart will enjoy a flashback to the good old Pink Floyd:

?? Do not understand this thread. My 1.2 TSI 110 DSG is not noisy at all. After 40.000 miles, it is still the best low-revs-high-torque, and silent small petrol engine I have experienced. Is this thread some kind of a Honda commercial? (fine cars btw).

However, crongratulations with your new Fabia

"So why did you choose an automatic transmission Skoda?" My preivous Fabia II had the good old high torque/low revs 1.9 TDI, which easily could start in 2nd gear and cruise at idle in 5th gear. When looking for a new car, thinking that the days of diesel was done, it had to be a petrol. But petrol engine means no torque and constant gear change - I thought. So the obvious solution was DSG to do the job for a gear-lazy driver
