  1. Electronic switch. Short press on boot switch on key fob unlocks boot. Long press on boot switch on key fob releases catch. Thanks. AG Falco
  2. Or not checking, or not even seeing the car. They can also get a visit for the opposite reason. To many fails which can also be a bigger sign of upselling. Thanks. AG Falco
  3. Or not checking them properly. DVSA look out for MOT stations that have abnormal results. Posted about here: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=10&t=1822649 Thanks. AG Falco
  4. If an MOT station has a very low advisory rate, they will get a visit from DVSA. Thanks. AG Falco
  5. All still OK? If so....... Tesco do a 4 Can pack of Old Speckled Hen which is vey nice if you are ever passing............ https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/313845437 Thanks. AG Falco
  6. That is the type of battery normally fitted to the Fabia III. Do you do long or short journeys and what sort of annual mileage do you do? My Fabia III has the original EFB battery still in it after 8 Years and 80K miles. The car does get used on longer journeys and I charge the battery using a smart charger. Both of these things can help with the charge and health of your battery. Thanks. AG Falco
  7. Does it still chime if you just plug the seat belts in, even if nobody is using them? Thanks. AG Falco
  8. Post in the Fabia II section first. Thanks. AG Falco
  9. The Sleeve type one with the two nuts/bolts If you want it to last then it helps if you spray them with VHT paint once a year. I do mine every Autumn. Thanks. AG Falco
  10. Try this:- ''Good afternoon, a family member has a 2009 Skoda Fabia Greenline, the rear parking sensors stopped working, the beep is ok! I was looking for the Sensor Module next to the driver's seat belt, there is only the Beep Sound from the sensors, but after assembling the plastics next to the belt the Airbag light is always on, I would like your help with these two problems Thanks''
  11. Which ever is first. eg. 19 days not 10 900 miles. It would be better for your car to be on fixed servicing with the mileage you do, within 19 days. Thanks. AG Falco
  12. Have you tried this place:- https://forum.obdeleven.com/ Thanks. AG Falco
  13. For your car: If the tyres are toeing out ( pretend your feet are your tyres, look at your feet and push your toes out away from each other ) then:- This can lead to more inner tyre edge wear. But: Almost all car front tyres wear the inside edge faster because of the camber they want to run. This is not bad. You can help to minimise this by running the high speed / heavy load tyre pressures. For your car the same applies for the rear tyres. It is different for a fixed rear axle car. Should not. Unless the rear toe and/or camber nuts/bolts wont move. Not common but can happen. Thanks. AG Falco
  14. Front tyres, rear tyres or all tyres? Thanks. AG Falco
  15. Short term. Opening the windows will help with the steaming up. Mine recirculating air lever is stiff to start to move. Has yours got stiffer or was there a sudden change? Thanks. AG Falco
  16. The small arrows above the figures want to be in the centre of the blocks to be perfect. ( No car is perfect. ) If the arrows are within the green area they are within tolerance. But they might become out while driving when forces are applied, eg:- accelerating, braking and /or cornering. The three small figures just below the arrows are from left to right:- 1:- Lower tolerance setting limit. 2:- Perfect setting. 3:- Upper tolerance setting limit. 1 & 3 could be the other way round. eg. 1 = upper and 3 = lower, but I hope you get the idea. Top photo going from top to bottom. Front Caster, both are in tolerance and not adjustable. Front Camber. N-S-F spot on. O-S-F is out by 8 Minutes but is NOT adjustable. There are 60 minutes in a degree and 360 degrees in a full circle. This is only just out and don't worry about this small amount. Front Toe. Both are in tolerance. Both are pointing to the left, this might leave the steering wheel not pointing straight ahead. But total toe, both figures added together, 0.03 + 0.07 = 0.10 is perfect. Bottom photo going from top to bottom. Rear Camber, both are within tolerance but neither are perfect. Rear camber is not as important as rear toe. Rear Toe, N-S-R is out and is showing as a negative figure rather than a positive figure. Not good. O-S-R is perfect. Both rear tyres are pointing left. This will leave the car having a rear thrust angle. The toe figures, front and rear, are the most important to have correct. So the big question! Would I do anything? Yes, I would want the N-S-R toe put right BUT If you do this then you can find you also need to adjust both rear camber and front toe as well as rear toe. Each one you touch can have an effect on the other figures. Normal method is to do them in this order. Rear camber. Rear toe. Front toe. I have four cars and the alignment gets checked twice a year. On one car it is always out. 🤬 With the other three sometimes I am lucky, sometimes I am not.🤞 I don't pay anyone to do this so it is easy for me to have this plan. Thanks. AG Falco
  17. Thinking of the last car I had with Dip/Dim and comparing it to my present car's with DRL, I would say that the DRL front lights are brighter / more noticeable than the Dip / Dim I had? I am not sure you are going to achieve anything useful. 🤔 Thanks. AG Falco
  18. Just tell her while you are driving her to somewhere she REALLY wants to go. 😮 Thanks. AG Falco
  19. Is your 2014 Fabia a Mark II or a Mark III? The Mark III only came out in late 2014. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škoda_Fabia Thanks. AG Falco
  20. Has the garage tried ordering the part from TPS? Try here:- https://tps.trade/parts-search Thanks. AG Falco
  21. Sounds more like the connector on the back has come off? Thanks. AG Falco
  22. One side effect of this is that the Stop/Start wont work. But if this solves the problem..... 🤞 Go for another week and report please. We have had false success before. I won't hold my breath yet. 🙂 Thanks. AG Falco
