Hi again! Just letting you know I ordered a part corresponding with 6Q1 423 893M and 6Q1 423 893H and it worked out. It was 16mm. Thanks for your help Pete

Thank you Pete! I´ll try find the right part and let you all know how I get on.

So I have a SKODA Fabia I Combi (6Y5) 1.2 64 hk which I´m trying my best to keep on the road. The latest issue happened when I suddenly lost power steering while driving off a motorway. When I got it home I noticed a pool of fluid under the hose where it has corroded and leaked over time. I bought a new hose from Autodoc and figured out how to remove the old one. But when as soon as I took the new one out of its packaging I noticed the banjo hose fitting was wrong. The old one has a 16mm opening while the new one has 14mm. See photo. I´ve spent the past few hours trying to find an alternative on Autodoc and other sites. I´ve been seaching other Fabia models and other car models to find a compatible product. Some products list the banjo size, most don´t, as 14mm. The OE number is given as 6Q1 423 893 but I suspect that my one has another number. Hope you guys can help. Anyone else had this issue?

Yeah, I used some all purpose grease too. Changed the abs sensor too because it broke off, changed the outer steering tierod because the bolt broke, replaced the mounting bracket thing because the bolts were so rusted I had to take the angle grinder to it. So it was a long process with multiple new parts but now it's back on the road until the next issue rears it's ugly head 😂

Great! Thanks for the comfirmation. Now I can put it back together and fingers crossed 🤞

Hi all. First time posting here but I've used this forum for years when stuck on different repairs. Now it's my first time replacing the bearing on the front right axel and I'm a little stuck. After waiting for tools and additional parts I've finally come to the end (I think). I've used the bearing intallation kit to push the bearing into the housing. The same as tjos video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeGE8nkgbIE&t=515s Unfortunately a neighbour who was also tinkering with his motorcycle started revving at the pivitol moment I think I should have heard a click. I can't tighten the tool any longer, it doesn't seem to be in contact with the flange any longer. Heres some photos of the space between and at the back. I didnt think to check how it looked before taking the old parts off but what do you guys think? Does it look like it should it go in any further? What are the consequences of it not being in far enough? Am I gonna have to do all this again? Will the abs sensor not work properly? Hope ye can give me some tips before putting this all back together!
