  1. 175 70 14 is an option, as shown on the tyre pressure sticker plate behind the fuel filler cap. Thanks. AG Falco
  2. 215 45 16 on a Fabia III but only 185 60 15 on the smaller size. Thanks. AG Falco
  3. What voltage is the battery at? Thanks. AG Falco
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Running the higher full load / high speed tyre pressures will also help. Thanks. AG Falco
  9. Move diagonally forwards. Suck it and see. What is the DOT code of the rear ( Bridgestone? ) tyres? Thanks. AG Falco
  10. 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
  11. Keep away from any rubber boots / seals. Thanks, AG Falco
  12. Was the correct type of battery fitted? Most Fabia's have an EFB stop/start type battery fitted. Thanks, AG Falco
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. I fitted Osram Night Braker Laser to mine or the Philips Xtremevision. I also needed to raise the Headlight aim as well on mine. Thanks, AG Falco
  17. Yes. Thanks, AG Falco
  18. Have you got the headlight units with 2 H4 bulbs with reflector units, or 4 X H7 with dipped projector units, or full LED units? Thanks, AG Falco
  19. On an Octavia or a Citigo? Thanks, AG Falco
  20. 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
  21. Mechanical only, so if you have no power it will still work. So does your boot switch have power going to it? Thanks, AG Falco
  22. Correct hole. Unlocking the tailgate Fig. 174 Emergency unlocking of the boot lid The boot lid can be unlocked manually in an emergency. ›Insert a screwdriver or similar tool into the opening in the trim. ( the hole you noted ) » Fig. 174 as far as the stop. › Unlock the lid by moving it in the direction of the arrow. › Open the tailgate. You push the screwdriver blade in and then push the handle down, with the inserted blade going up. HTH. Thanks, AG Falco
  23. I thought that the Toyota Aygo 1.0 petrol had a Chain driven DOHC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_KR_engine#1KR-FE The 1.4 HDI is a Peugeot engine with a belt though. Thanks AG Falco
  24. I have had the Citigo for a year now and it is up to 41 K miles. Today I swapped the summer tyres for the winters. Stripped, cleaned and re greased the brakes, they look about half worn so far. Fitted a pair of front Bosch wiper blades. Also fitted an under bonnet sound absorber. Present part number is 1SO-863-831-A and comes with the seven clips to fit it. About two minutes work. See photo below. Car still good. Thanks, AG Falco
