16V. Ambiente (if that makes any difference)

Doh, flattering myself I have a better car than I do! It's a 1.4l engine. Thanks 🙂

My 2005 Fabia has been making a chugging noise when we're at a standstill and the emissions management light has come on. It's been running fine otherwise, no issues when on the move, just this slight juddering when idle. Any thoughts? My mechanic is chocka and can't take a look till Monday....

Thanks for the tip. No movement at all. Damp seems a likely issue and lo and behold it's raining right now so unlikely to get better any time soon!

Hi,new to the forum and to car ownership. I have a 10 year old secondhand Skoda Fabia which has recently developed 2 faults: the electric windows won;t work and the car has a habit of sometimes locking itself almost immediately after I unlock it. I took it to a local garage to look at the windows - neither of the buttons on the driver's side nor the button on the passenger side would work. They tried replacing the driver's side switch and said it worked immediately but it has now defaulted to nothing happening. They suggested it might be a window motor issue and the motors in both doors would need replacing but it seems a bit weird that both motors would fail simultaneously surely? The self re-locking has been a bit patchy but seems to have got worse since I had the windows looked at. As I have little idea how any of these things work and how they are linked, can anyone make any suggestions about whether the faults are linked and what the cause(s) might be? Thanks!
