A little advice please!
You can set that in the MFD or with VCDS.

Fabia door display fault
My daughter had exactly the same fault on her FII from 2009, except that it was the passenger door as during corona lockdown 1 she was out testing and used her car - passenger seat - for her breaks. I removed the lock mechanism and then swapped two microswitches inside the lock, see thread:
-
No heating
90°C, I meant hot.
-
No heating
If 3 things - thermostat, expansion bottle and water pump - have been changed I would revise the thermostat. Take the new thermostat out and put it into hot water. It should open immediately. If not, it is broken and needs to be replaced.

Sidelights upgrade
Pull on the wires for the side light and the bulb will come out. No need to remove anything.

Fabia Mk II Body Control Module Repair/Replacement
You can try and find someone with a VCDS or similar near you through the Briskoda site and get the car autoscaned.

Help is needed to update Webasto and navigation
Webasto is not very popular in the UK. Check the German Skoda forum. The map updates ended 2020.

Roomster 2006 comfort unit
Are you sure it is a controller module? All the controllers have more than one function and more than one electrical component connected. Try pulling fuses after the CAN bus has gone down and keep the driver door switch in closed position. This way you can narrow down users better.

Electric Mirror switch uk RHD
I repaired the wires in my daughter's Fabia. It is easy to get into the door trim. Then you may have to drill the rivets for the speaker out. I replaced them with screws afterwards. The broken wires should be fairly obvious. You ma need to use a Voltmetre to check for continuity. I extended the wires and hopefully have enough slack in them now for the remaining life of the car, although my daughter is determined to have the car until it dies.

SatNav map update
There is no official update since the 2020 V17 update for the old Columbus.

Superb MkII LED upgrade advice
The LEDs are sold as CAN BUS proof these days, but you may have a problem with the beam pattern. I am not sure I would want to pay way over £100 for 2 bulbs though. The Philips would come with any adapter necessary.

New tyres on the 4x4 superb
If you brake on slippery ground with bad rears or do some escape type maneuvering the rear will overtake you easily. Simple physics.

Comfort control module
It was the drains in there which were the problem. Just run some water down the windscreen either side and check if it runs down onto the road straight away. If not the drains are blocked.

What is a "Clamp 30"...?
You see reference to this in wiring diagrams. Clamp 30 is a permanent live / 12V, clamp 15 is a switched live / 12V after the ignition is switched on.

New tyres on the 4x4 superb
The discussion of good tyres to the back and worn ones to the front stems not from oversteer when cornering but from dynamic weight shift foreward, i.e. the rears becoming lighter, under braking. In adverse / wet and slippery conditions. You will loose control of the rear axle and the car will be in a spin. Nothing to do with over and understeer. This dynamic load shift occurs in every car regardless of the type of drive.

Battery drainage
Start by pulling fuses and check whether the 800mA are reduced. Then go to relays.

Headlight bulbs ??
But it then depends on how the light is projected onto the road. And the Fabia is not good at that.

Headlight bulbs ??
The Fabia does have poor headlights, no matter whether you live in the countryside or town. I fitted LEDs to my daughter’s projector lights. A little better over Osram Nightbreakers, but still more like candles.

Fabia Mk II Body Control Module Repair/Replacement
I have just replaced the BCM on my daughter’s FII. It is o.k. To access under the driver dash. Remove the trim, which is only propped in under the dash. When you look up towards the right you will see a 15 x 5 cm “box” upright. It is held in with 2 pegs at the bottom. Pull the bottom towards the front and then it will slide down a little. Not sure which BCM you have on a 2011 Fabia. You might either have 3 - I think - large connectors to remove or 2 rows of 8 or 9 smaller connectors. This is fiddly. Then it will slide out down. The connectors all have a tab that you have to press. But as said above save the coding.

CFGB Turbo - P0234, P00AF codes and limp mode - MR.MUSCLE fix
I had done output tests and pressure tests and the actuator and hoses were intact, so the last bit part was sooted up turbo variable vanes. @J.R. Does the Lidl oven cleaner come with a flexi spray nozzle or take the WD40 one?

Correct Tyre size
The only implication could be insurance, but this has been covered before and most are o.k. as long as road worthiness is provided. I have the 4x4 and change the front and backs round for more even wear.

CFGB Turbo - P0234, P00AF codes and limp mode - MR.MUSCLE fix
Our SII from 2014 has only done 55000 M. A couple of years ago - during corona - the car went into limp mode with P00AF -9126 and 9127 - and it did not return for another year. Admittedly I had not done that many miles. A call to Skoda was sobering - £1600 please. This would have been for a completely new turbo. The CFGB turbo is made by Garrett and would be complete with actuator and manifold. It is a pain to get to apparently. Some others are easier to service and even have parts replaced. As the DTC did not return I decided to leave things as they are. The limp mode did return a week before we wanted to take the car to France. This engine without turbo in the mountains would be a right pain. I decided to try the MR. MUSCLE treatment I had read about on the internet. There was no time for a Skoda repair. The MR. MUSCLE treatment was on a 1.9L TDI and access was not the easiest. They detached the exhaust and used MR. MUSCLE into the exhaust end of the turbo. My access was even worse plus there is a DPF / pre cat in the way. but this was also the plus point. The DPF has a pre filter temperature sensor which allows access into the turbo. I removed the heat shield - red circles on the left - which is held in place with 3x 10mm nuts. Then I removed the heat shield for some wires just at the bulk head and loosened them from a bracket - green arrow. The temp sensor wire needs some wriggle room. Then I removed the temp sensor on the DPF. I sprayed MR. MUSCLE into the turbo red arrow in the centre - a few times and blew it out switching the engine on. It is a bit of a palaver as I fitted and removed the sensor and allowed parts to cool down again. I had removed the connection to the turbo actuator, which is not really necessary. You have to change the original MR. MUSCLE nozzle for one on a WD40 large bottle - I have spare WD40 can with a MR.MUSCLE nozzle now. The car / fix has lasted well. No coil warning and no limp mode. This fix cost me an afternoon and £3.99 for MR. MUSCLE and £3.50 for WD40 with a club card from Tescos.

Coolant loss
My daughter has the BXW engine and when she had the same coolant loss I searched with the engine code. Quite a few people in forums said that the BXW is prone to just this manifold preheater braking. Our local independent had seen a few.
