AirCon worked for a day after regas, what now? Good places for aircon work in Sheffield?
There is a low pressure side which most AC machines will check that it holds a vacumn. If it passes this test it will let you re-gas the car. This normally won't test the high pressure side of the system. So the machine will let you refill the AC gas without checking the high pressure side. A good clue that you have a leak is to see how much gas came out. The AC machine should record this. If there was no/very little gas in the system then unless it has not been checked for many years, get it checked for a leak in the hight pressure side as well. HTH. Thanks. AG Falco

TPMS Management
Most new TPMS sensors have replaceable valve stems. So no need for a new sensor, so long as the garage has one. There are over 40 different types! đ¯ Thanks. AG Falco

Dead flat battery
Be warned, on the earth connection the silver nut is painted. You need to make sure you connect to the cable connector inside the nut. I learned this the hard way. âšī¸ Thanks. AG Falco

Rear windscreen wiper
Quite often the washer pipe breaks inside the black rubber sheath between the hatch and the bodywork. Open the hatch and it is in the top left hand corner. You want to pull the sheath back and look inside. HTH Thanks. AG Falco

Use of EZ Shim on Rear Axle Skoda Fabia 3
What is 5.0? The thrust angle is at only 10' minutes & total toe at 5.4mm. There is NO red showing on the part of the alignment report in your photo? Has this been fixed? Have you seen the bent part of the axle? Thanks. AG Falco

Strange clutch issue
Try only to engage 1st gear when you have come to a complete stop. I can quite easily drive off from stationary in second gear. So low speed in second gear is fine. And have you also stopped by now? Thanks. AG Falco

2018 1.0TSi Fabia, Vibration issue. Manual gearbox.
Any change in noise when the clutch in or out? Is it engine revs related? Does it happen in every gear at the same revs? Has the car been scanned for faults? Have you got Falken AS210's all round? Thanks. AG Falco

Not on the petrol ones. So when you accelerate only? Where did the tyres get fitted to on the car? Thanks. AG Falco

Citigo added to the family garage.
Bought the Citigo for the Daughter. Taught her to drive in it, and she passed the driving test in a month. đ Had it 4 1/2 years now. Also bought an UP in 2023. ( they had stopped making the Citigo by then ) Plan to keep both. Yes, as above they are in a low insurance group, 1-2. But still not that cheap to insure once they have passed their driving test. Try some dummy insurance quotes. Thanks. AG Falco

N-S-F electric window fault
That was my thought, as it happened back in February. But the car lives in an insulated garage during the night. Never seen even 0 degrees C in the garage. Might have been on the way home after work. Thanks again Pete. AG Falco

Citigo added to the family garage.
Yes, that time again. MOT done on Thursday, passed with no advisories. Now only up to 53491 miles. Re-gased the Aircon on Friday. R1234YF gas, 168gms out and refilled with 330gms. So lost about half the gas in four years. Today, Saturday I did the 8th big service. Oil, oil, air and cabin filters, and spark plugs all done. Rotated the tyres and did a brake fluid change. Battery still working. Scanned for faults. none found. Updated ERWIN service record. Daughter still happy with the car. Thanks. AG Falco

N-S-F electric window fault
Problem solved. There are 6 wires on the motor connector. See photo above. Two small wires from one door switch, and the second two small wires from the other door switch. These power a relay to then power the window. This is the click I could here. The two thicker wires power the motor itself. I checked the wires in the passenger A pillar rubber bellows, and these looked OK. I then unclipped the block connector from the car end of the rubber bellows. I then checked continuity of the two thicker motor power wires from the block connector the the motor connector and these were OK. I then removed the drivers inner door trim and tried the passenger motor on the drivers side. Both motors worked on the drivers side but neither worked on the passenger side. It is as if there is no power getting to the motor. 𤨠I then did what I should have done first. Check the fuse. âšī¸ Guess what. âšī¸ All good now I changed the fuse, but I don't know what made the fuse blow. There is one fuse that covers both motors and also two more for each individual door motor. So check all three fuses first. Thanks. AG Falco
