New Fabia auto
You can download maps first at home via wifi, and then use them offline so you use no data at all. I also use this when I go abroad. This also works when you don't have a mobile data connection. Thanks. AG Falco

Direct TPMS replacement valve / service kit
It is normally the sensor that gets broken, not the valve stem! Does the car tell you the individual tyre pressures? Thanks. AG Falco

Does the key fob battery last longer if you use it every day?
So the wife went to use the Fabia yesterday and got the spare car key out of the cupboard. But no red light on the fob when pushing the buttons. ( Flat battery? ) This key is hardly used. When I get home I try my key ( which is used every day ) and this still works. So I think that the battery in the spare key that is hardly used, is flat. So I swap the batteries over in the keys. But the battery from my key wont work in the spare key. So is there a fault with the spare key? And the battery from the spare key wont work in my key. So I swap the batteries back and then at least I have one working key. Today I go to Bath with my key and when I try to come back, guess what. My key stops working, no red light on the fob. So I get two new batteries, CR2032's are tight but will fit, and guess what, they both now work! This is the first time I have fitted new batteries in either key in 7 years since new. So does the battery last longer if you use it every day? Thanks. AG Falco

Strange "humming" noise when driving....
You are checking for a saw edge pattern on the inside edges. If they are NOT directional tyres then try swapping them from side to side. Thanks. AG Falco

Battery Warning Light
With a smart charger and not connected to the Negative battery terminal? My Stop/Start battery is still good from June 2016 at 73K miles. I would agree with this. Is a 2021 battery still in warranty? Is it an AGM or an EFB battery? Check the top of the battery. Thanks. AG Falco

Tyre inflation - air isn't free???!!!
I use the 10 BAR compressor at work. Although this wont fit in the back of any of my cars. I have a small 12 volt compressor at home which is fine to just pump the tyres up. Don't rely on the pressure gauge on the compressor though. Thanks. AG Falco

What battery?
063 is 175 mm high. 027 is 190 mm high. How high is the present battery? If a bigger one will fit then buy that one. Thanks. AG Falco

12v socket mystery
Have you swapped the fuse or has it blown again? Is there any voltage behind the 12V socket? Do you need the ignition on? Thanks. AG Falco

My engine noise is a bit raspy. Is this normal for a Citigo? It's a Skoda Citigo SE GreenTech.
TPS. Look here:- Mine did, but mine is a facelift version, post 2017. Yes, see above. Thanks. AG Falco

The Suzuki Swift you drove might be a bigger car and have a a bigger / more powerful engine than the Citigo. Which one did you drive? Is the engine full of oil? Heat shield loose? Exhaust getting old? Under bonnet sound absorbing mat can be fitted. See post from 12 Nov 2022 below:- Thanks AG Falco

My TSI Fabia has this feature but my MPI Citigo does not and the Citigo is newer. Thanks. AG Falco

“Hiccup” starting from rest - 2015 1.2tsi engine.
Just did my Fabia's 8th service including spark plugs and air filter. Note, spark plugs are due at 40K miles and air filter at 60K miles. No change to mine. Is this the first car you have had with this anti stall feature? Try applying a small amount of throttle and holding it before you lift the clutch. Thanks. AG Falco

So don't do this. It sounds like you are not quite used to this feature. It took me a while. 😒 Thanks. AG Falco
