“Hiccup” starting from rest - 2015 1.2tsi engine.
Try starting to move the car withOUT using any throttle. Note that the car will automatically raise the engine revs when you start to bring the clutch up. This takes good clutch control. Thanks. AG Falco

Wheel bearing noise like noise, but with a twist
If it is wheel bearing, try this:- Jack the wheels up, Spin one wheel at a time, Put your hand on the corresponding wheel's road spring and feel for any vibration. Check and compare the fronts to each other, then try the rears. Sometimes you can hear it as well. Thanks. AG Falco

Premium Petrol for a Fabia 1.2tsi (2016)
Super is Standard then. 😒 Standard grade (95 octane) petrol became E10 in Great Britain in September 2021 and in Northern Ireland in November 2022. So 95 RON in the UK is standard petrol. Thanks. AG Falco

Slight clunk from rear brakes
I strip / clean and relubricate my brakes every autumn. Did this on my Fabia III the first time at 6 months old. The noise will quieten down, but not disappear. The upside of this yearly maintenance is that my brakes are now just over half worn at 7 years old and 71 K miles. Thanks. AG Falco

Slight clunk from rear brakes
Some original Brake pads have a sticky layer on the metal back of the rear brake pads. Removing the pads and cleaning / lubricating them or replacing them and lubricating them / or having a set of brake pads with no stick layer can have this effect:- Only noticeable when you go from forwards to backwards and brake, and / or vice versa. Thanks. AG Falco

2019 spark plugs replacement interval ?
No, see my post above about what you need to do. Spark plugs are under coil packs that are under the ( removed ) air filter housing. One electrical clip per coil pack to pop off and then one 10 mm bolt that holds the coil pack down, then pull up gently to remove. Use a small 10mm spark plug / 16 mm Hex socket with a long extension bar to remove spark plugs. I buy my parts from a good local motor factors. Or:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/NGK-96596-96596-Spark-Plug/dp/B00U0ER8A6 Thanks AG Falco
