Another steering problem - Groan!
From reading around on here its a under car job to replace but it seems fairly simple. I would estimate 30-1 hours labour minimum but I am no mechanic. - Sensor at around £120 and labour @ £100 ish, I would expect a bill of around £200-250! BUT get the battery checked before you sink money into the sensor as it could well be the battery on its way out. My car had a tendency to throw a brake fault error when the battery started dying.

Fabia Combi Replacement
Might be worth asking this in the MkIII fabia forum part of Briskoda, I am sure someone on there who owns an estate fabia can help I did find this from a quick search. "Unlike the Mark II the middle part is held in place so you have to pull the black plastic moulding off the top and then there is a torx screw to take out to release the cover. Then it comes out very easily. "

Skoda fabia 1.4tdi automatically accelerates after crossing 2500rpm
Exactly what I thought! Turbo doesn't spool until over 2krpm so wouldn't surprise me if the boost is spraying a small amount of oil into the intake. But the OP said the engine is not burning oil... a runaway would have a small sign on blue smoke out the back. I would get second opinion. My turbo just died on my 1.6tdi but it didn't cause the car to accelerate... in fact it did the complete opposite.

Turbo trouble
First off have you had the Emissions Update? Because if you have you've got 2 years warranty on Emissions parts... the glow plug would indicate DPF, or EGR issues? My glow plug light was triggered by a DPF pressure sensor. Best to get a second opinion from another garage, preferable a VW specialist.
