Wheel nut caps
The normal bolt covers will be a tight fit to stop them coming of at speed. Do you have the bolt cover puller tool? Look for part number 321 601 173, but check the colour you order. Yes you have to older type of Lockers. Newer type are bigger and are like these:- So I think you have been sent these as above. HTH. Thanks. AG Falco

Hello all, so the back box/silencer on my 2016 1.2 tsi skoda rapid needs replacing
With the engine running put your hand ( inside a thick glove ) over the end of the exhaust. If you have a leak you will hear it / feel it coming out of any other hole in the exhaust. If the exhaust gases pushes at your hand then exhaust is still good. Thanks. AG Falco

Slight rubbing sound when reversing slowly. Back wheel
It's a hard one. From memory, early ones were:- Drums & Shoes on the MPI engines. Disks & Pads on the TSI engines. But at one point you could upgrade the rear brakes from Drums & Shoes to Disks & Pads. 😒 🥺 Go figure. Thanks. AG Falco

Slight rubbing sound when reversing slowly. Back wheel
Has the car got rear disks & pads or drums & shoes? Not all Fabia III have rear disks & pads. Thanks. AG Falco

Recommend oil grade / service questions
Air filter change is listed at 6 Years / 6th service but for me, when you have to take the air filter off to change the spark plugs, I change the air filter at the same time. Although my Fabia III in only 7 years old I have already done it's 8th service back in May 2023. See Here:- Thanks. AG Falco

No. 4 litres for a service & 4.5 litres if the engine is dry. Due every 40K miles / 4th service. Is the car on fixed servicing? Thanks. AG Falco
