Yes, but it uses the same washer container. So back to checking your washer fuses. Thanks. AG Falco

2020 Skoda Fabia Electrical Issues - Interior Lights, Seat Warmers, Windshield Fluid Pump not working
Not uncommon for the fuse to blow for the windscreen washer pump when the water is frozen and the washers are used. Cheaper to replace a fuse than a pump. The one pump does both windscreens. Thanks. AG Falco

Rear Tyres Have Stepped Wear
Just come back from shopping via Zig Zag hill in the snow. But I had my secret weapon fitted, some Three Peak Mountain Snowflake Marked tyres. Swapped / Fitted them again back in November from the Summers. The car struggles when the snow is more than 4 inches deep. 😲 ( not today ) Thanks. AG Falco

Rear Tyres Have Stepped Wear
The full DOT code is only on one side of the tyre, so it will be on the inside of the other one. Thanks. AG Falco

Skoda Fabia 1.0 TSI Colour Edition Wheels and tyres
The recommended size for your car are on the inside of your fuel filler cap. You might find that 185 60 15 is one of the tyre sizes. If so 185 60 15 tyres on a 6 x 15 wheel might be a more popular size. Thanks. AG Falco

Running the higher full load / high speed tyre pressures will also help. Thanks. AG Falco

Rear Tyres Have Stepped Wear
Have you got the 16 or 17 inch tyres / wheels? It happens on the inside edge of the rear tyres. The leading edge is higher than the trailing edge of the tread blocks. If you swap the rear tyres from side to side you will be going up the saw tooth edge. This can make the worn bearing like rumble go. Long term rotate your tyres and always fit new tyres to the rear. If the fronts are the worn pair then move the rears diagonally to the front. Thanks, AG Falco

Just done car Service.
Ok, done me usual pre winter check on Saturday Fitted new front tyres at 68k miles but swapped to rear. The two tyres I fitted a year ago went to the front, hardly any wear on them after 10K miles. I now have the same make/ tread pattern all round. Definitely better wet grip / turn in on these. Checked / adjusted the front toe as it was a little out. All brakes at 68K and are still original from new from 2016. Front brake pads at 6 mm and rear pads at 5mm, with all brakes stripped, cleaned and regreased. All disk faces are clean, flat and have no rust spots/patches high points. All are original brake parts. A small rusty lip has started. Photos are after the strip down. First photo is front and second is rear. So brakes are about half worn. 😲 Car still good. Thanks, AG Falco

Daytime running light
Different resistance is being noted. I don't think that you can ( easily ) change the DRL LED's. I presume you have the 4 X H7 bulbs with dipped projector headlight units? You can Turn the DRL's via the infotainment menu via:- Car. Settings. Note that these are also your parking/side light bulbs, they just work at a lower power output. Thanks, AG Falco

I have the normal plip key and am still on the original battery from 2016 / 68K miles. Hope yours is now sorted. Thanks, AG Falco

Can’t open fabia mk iii boot. How to manually open
Just re read what I have posted. The emergency unlocking of the boot lid is mechanical only. The boot switch on the outside of the boot is electrical. I think if you have the engine running/ignition on the car locks the boot automatically? This stops 'tealeaves' opening the boot while you are stopped in traffic. There are also options in the infotainment as to what opens when you unlock the car? Don't think this will help but it might be worth checking / changing the setting. Thanks AG Falco
