I put a high RVC into our SII. There are a couple of write ups on the forum. You will also need to code the car.

Thanks for the replies. Is the tenacious tape flexible?

I refurbished my bike seat with a nice new cover. I need to cover the staples so that they do not scratch the tank and side panels. Does anyone know what flexible tape would stick really well to vinyl? I have tried duct / gaffer tape, electrical cloth tape and also sticky spray, which left a bit of a sticky mess - the spray not me.

At worst you will get stopped and fined....

I have attached the FL model. Superb - fog lights.pdf

The wiring and the light switch might be interchangeable, but not the lights, unless you redesign the bumper.

Thanks for the replies, I found the old thread about your Polo. Our car is a 2009 BXW. I was hoping someone would give me the Fabia dimensions and I did not have to crawl under the car. I found your senior aftermarket place I think. They are called seniorflexonics now. I will get the car on the ramp and measure.

There are write ups on here on how to service the haldex. If you have a lift - great. I did it on 4 axle stands and it is tight and fiddly.

The 1.4l petrol exhaust on my daughter's FII is blowing. I tried to "cure" it with high temp gasket sealant and a heavy duty hose clip. The pre-exhaust pipe is rotating inside the flexi connection and the car sounds quite "sporty" again. The options are - new, but this pipe containing the catalytic converter is quite expensive. Weld it.... or cut the flexi pipe out and replace it with a new intersection which is clamped in like this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161759685251?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 It quotes the exhaust diameters. Does asnyone happen to know from experience or have a reference of the Fabia exhaust diameter? Fabia 1.4 pre exhaust pipe.pdf

This is the circuit board of a FII. It looks like there is room for 2 more.

The door locks have 3 microswitches. You could also have a broken wire problem as explained above.

My daughter's FII had an "autolock" feature in her car. The problem was a worn microswitch in the passenger door lock mechanism. Hers was a bit more erraitc than every 30 seconds after door closure.

You can download the map updates from the internet. The temp problem can be a outside temperature sensor.

On a Fabia II with rear drums you can get sticky brakes.

How can your fog lights work in isolation? Mine will only come on when I flick through the settings on the light switch, i.e. all other light being on NAD the fog light.

The jet points onto the rear screen. You can adjust it within 70° or so.

For at least 15 years the insurance companies were TOLD that they do not charge extra for winter tyres/wheels as long as the wheels andtyres are o.k. for the model.

When you start and accelerate the Haldex Gen 4 automatically kicks in. Also when there is slip at the front.

The seat belt real is behind the seat cover. You can get to it from the boot. The real is right at the top. If your seat belt moves a little put silicone oil onto the belt and let it go back. It might loosen and unwind easier.

If the wiring diagram is correct, it is a white / black wire. Driver door contact_2.pdf

What??? For the armoured vehicles and tanks??

Looking for all season tyres for a Fabia II in 205/45-16. Unfortunately it is not a very common tyre size and the choice is limited. I do not want to go for low budget ones. There are 2 to choose from: the Vredestein Quatrac and the Toyo Celsius. I like the fact that the Toyo is an asymmetric tyre and you are not left with 2 left and 2 right tyres. Test reports are very similar for both. Has anyone used the Toyo Celsius?

The guy in the video repairs Cat cars and has described a way to reverse a crash fault. I have used BBA reman before. http://www.bba-reman.com/gb/index.aspx

I just specced an SEL with TDI 4x4 DSG similar to L&K and the SEL come out at £49500, The L&K is on FWD and is a mere £44500. I then specced an Audi A6 Avant quattro black edition and that came out at £54000, but you get fat 20" wheels, but no heated windscreen and no heated rear seats. Skoda is really trying to go upmarket - pricewise.

My daughter's FII had some strange central locking behaviour recently. The car would just lock and unlock at will. This wasrelated to the passenger lock. One of the microswitches started to have a life of its own. I took the lock apart and changed the switches arouns. Might be worth looking at the boot lock's inners. I left a thread further down.
