Just to let you guys know it was the crankshaft position sensor on mine. It had disintegrated.

Thanks for the message, I'll leave them then I made sure they were tight. Many thanks for your help much appreciated!

Damn, I loosened the carrier bolts off to allow the new discs to fit in easily. Looks like I'm going back to loctite them then.

Many thanks for your message. I'll drain it down to max anyway. On another note in my kit I didn't receive new caliper guide pin bolts. So I've refitted the old ones without applying loctite (just found out this is recommended) do you think this will be okay or would you go back and apply some loctite? Many thanks

Hi all, I have changed the brake discs and pads all round on the fabia vrs today. Being my first time i believe i've mad a few errors. When retracting the brake pistons i didnt take the brake fluid filler cap off. My brake fluid has now risen above the max mark (its pretty much full) Since noticing this i have took the filler cap off and pumped on the brake pedal to see if excess fluid would leave the reservoir, it hasnt. Since doing this when pumping the pedal (engine off, car stationary) the brake sounds slightly airated. Considering the reservoir is full i shouldnt have allowed air into the system though? I have taken the car for a drive and the brakes feel fine when driving, so i'm thinking i just haven't noticed this before and the pedal normally feels like this when stationary and with the engine off?? Will it be ok for me to drive tomorrow morning with the brake fluid too high? This would be until i get a suction pump to syphon it out? Otherwise in the meantime i'm thinking of getting as much out of the filler as i can using a clean rag to absorb it. Thanks so much for your time

Superb, you must be! Thanks Tech1e I'll have a look at that tomorrow. Do you guys know if these sensors are easy to locate and access on a fabia vrs?

Many thanks for the replies, cheers for the explanation tech1e. I've plugged a code reader in and it's given me "p0727"

Hi guys, I've had trouble starting my fabia vrs today. The engine turned over nicely and the battery worked fine. The RAC came out and diagnosed air getting into the fuel system (because of the fuel priming sound when the key was turned to ignition) they then used some bradex easy start which started the engine fine. I've since started the car a few times and it has been fine. My question: I understand how the bradex started the engine but if I have air in the fuel system how would the engine keep running and sustain itself? Surely the fuel air mix would still be incorrect and the engine would cut out? Thanks for your time any technical input would be much appreciated

Cheers Hutchy! And thanks everyone for your help!

Many thanks for your post Vindaloo. Without a guide I imagine I will run into more bother trying to fit that. I'm now thinking of getting I'm going to go for the Aux in: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Connects2-CTVSKX001-Octavia-Adaptor-Interface/dp/B005FMYBDK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449680681&sr=8-1&keywords=connects2+fabia?tag=b0f1c-21 And charging the phone via the Cig port with this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Micro-Mini-Car-Cigarette-Lighter-to-USB-Charger-Adapter-for-MP3-/251478257627?hash=item3a8d45afdb:g:0HMAAOSw7I5TuBhX Before I pull the plug please can someone confirm that this will work? Thanks!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I've looked into the IO play2 and it's not for me. I like your solution wiredsoftware, but I'm leaning towards that headunit you suggested now vindaloo. Have you got it? If so did you need facia adapter to make it fit?

Many thanks for the recommendation Keith, I will look into those.

You were correct hutchy it doesn't fit. I'm frustrated because this is the second ipod specific kit I've bought that has been listed to fit! Im contacting connects2 again to see what they have to say. They replied to my query about the other wires, here's what they said: "On the interface you have 4 flying wires, 3 with crimps and one without any crimps. The one without any crimps will need to be connected to earth, a good place for earth is the chassis of the radio. The other 3 flying wires you have are for noise suppression. The crimps you should have crimps one male crimp and 2 female crimps. The male crimp will connect to one of the female crimps. The female connector will dependent upon whichever female connector gives best noise suppression."

It is indeed that one I've got. What is it about it that makes you think it won't be compatible hutchy? I've contacted their help desk so it'll be interesting to see if will fit! I'll let you guys know.

Thanks a lot for the replies guys. Especially wiredsoftware, your posts are much appreciated. Unfortunately all I got with it was that same pdf document you linked to from the connects2 website. Its tempting to try! I'll need to source that banjo connector (I may have one at work) and in the meantime I might contact connects2 to see if they can provide instructions on where the cables need to go.
