Hi, I installed an original dog guard (P / N: 6V9 017 221) - I would not recommend doing it yourself. There must be drilled in both headlining and plastic panels. Templates are included showing where to drill holes. Besides that you need a certain tool to secure the dogs grid. It is no problem to remove / mounted it as you find necessary. However, the first time the tool is required. I also have the mirror that you mention. It works fine and is applied directly to the glass.

I have the same type of tires mounted on alloy wheels, but I have no problems with tire noise. I have now switched to winter tires. Continental winter contact TS850 - 185 / 60-15 on steel wheels. Road noise is reduced even with winter tires - But another "problem" now appears, engine noise. Not so much when you just roll quietly down the street, but when the car has to work even the smallest, one can hear a faint "duk duk duk" sound. It can be difficult to describe but if you find road noise a problem you will surely be crazy about this sound. It becomes audible around 1800 rpm. and up, in all gears. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the sound disappears, even if the car is up to speed. So it is not a sound from the wheels. Possibly drive shaft or similar. It is weak but it is there. Perhaps there are others who are experiencing this- and may have a better idea of ​​what it is? The car is generally poorly silenced and are easily influenced by external noise. It is true that others probably will not notice this sound. But now that he would like to eliminate one type of noise - I just want to mention that it is not always for the better.

Hi, I think I can hear the timing chain, at cold start. I noticed it in the first 2 to 3 seconds when starting the car. - Then the sound disappears. The sound is best described, a bit like a cold diesel engine. I can not produce the sound by turning on / off the car. I have to wait an hour or more before I hear the sound again. The sound is only present at the first cold start. It's a petrol engine - 1.2 TSI 110 hp Is anyone else experienced this?

A quick search on Ebay. With shipping around 55-60 EUR

Please read my reply to Auric Goldfinger The location of the sensors and what functions they have, should be clarified. We agree on most things. Related to Fabia mk3 If you have all three systems, Light Assistant, Climatronic and rain sensor, only one unit is fitted with all three functions. (P / N: 5Q0 955 547 A) And it is located in the base of the rearview mirror. This device is not related to the actual mirror. The three systems, Light Assistant, Climatronic and Rain sensor are independent of each other and can all be ordered separately. Auto dimming rear view mirror can also be ordered separately. However, it is included when ordering either Climatronic, rain sensor, or both. It is not included when ordering only Light Assistant. >>Dithane. Yes, the light sensor is the square piece of plastic. It does not seem that they have chosen to use a sensor for both light and rain - Although I do believe that you can get it. However, you have no advantage of this. I changed my own from the humidity sensor (P/N: 8U0 955 559) to the light / rain / humidity sensor (P/N: 5Q0 955 547 A) - That way I got rain sensor. See the topic, VCDS tweks for Fabia.

First, do you have rain sensor? The settings are only available, via Bolero, at cars with auto wipers / rain sensor.

I have done the cornering forgs and some other thing, but I have not found the "tweak" to enable hill hold via VCDS. Is it possible?

The sensor you're referring to is not the one controlling the headlights on the car. It is true that there is a sensor in the rearview mirror, but it is only dimming the mirror. The humidity sensor (P/N: 8U0 955 559) which controls the Climatronic - is placed in the base that holds the rearview mirror to the windshield. A combined sensor (P/N: 5Q0 955 547 A) are installed if you have Rain sensor and Climatronic - The location is the same. If you have only light assistant - The light sensor (P/N: Unknown) is located is in the middle of the dashboard up against the windshield, without touching the glass.

I ordered Climatronic. When I picked up the car, I could see that my model was fitted with a large rear view mirror - but the display model only had an ordinary rear view mirror. The sensor for the Climatronic is located behind the mirror up against the windshield. I suspect that the sensor on the instrument panel is for light assistant, only. I would not have had the sensor on the dashboard if I had ordered the car with factory fitted rain sensor. In this case, rain and humidity sensor is the same sensor.

On my Fabia, model style, light assistant are standard. It came with the features that you describe. I could control the light by covering a plastic square located center of the dashboard up against the windshield. After retrofitted rain sensor, this sensor is no longer active. There was no need to demount the sensor so I can not give you a part number, only the location.

My pre-week 22 car (Bolero) System information. Device part number: 5Q0035819 Hardware: H11 Software: 0138 Media Codes: 1003.113.1.15 prod Could anyone with a post-week 22 car post their System information?

Sure - I have the Sygic Navigation app, trail version. Works fine for me, Also when I am driving :p

Hey Joe I also have an Samsung S4 mini (GT-I9195, Android 4.4.2) and I have no trouble getting it to work with MirrorLink. -So you're already there, no need to hold your breath at all.
