I run Vredestein Quatrac 5's as my winter tyres down south here. Why not buy the Vredestein ready for the winter. But still use / fit the Pirelli's during the summer. Also rotate your summer Pirelli's every time you have them refitted to wear them out as a set. They can get noisy from a sawtooth pattern appearing on the inside of the rear tyres. I rotate them diagonally to cut the noise down that this causes. Thanks AG Falco

When it sticks in reverse gear it is as if you are trying to pull it in neutral but without putting the clutch in first. As if the clutch is dragging and not disengaging properly. Thanks, AG Falco

Good find. Thanks, AG Falco

I don't think it is the oil in the gearbox or the engine. For me it is more noticeable when the weather is cold. Thanks, AG Falco

It tends to happen more often the colder it is and the shorter the journey is. Thanks, AG Falco

Yes mine has the 4 buttons each side. But in my defence I suggested you select Android Auto. ( the other choice you have is Mirrorlink. ) So for others with the same problem you:- Turn phone on. Turn Bluetooth and Location on. Open Android Auto on phone. Turn Car on. Turn infotainment system on. Turn Bluetooth on in car. Then connect Phone to car via Cable. Select:- App/( head talking symbol) button Android Auto logo on touch screen Select ( your ) phone. Thanks, AG Falco

Sounds like the brake pads touching the ( rusty ) disks to me. Look on the inside face of the disk for a build up of rust from the outer and inner edges. In the video you can see the outer face has some rust on the brake pad contact points. The inside face is normally worse than the outside face. Thanks, AG Falco

IS there a relevant Haynes manual for the Fabia III, even an on line version? Thanks, AG Falco

Herramientas Eurotools S.A is the Spanish connection. Now all part of Snap on. Thanks, AG Falco

Or the exhaust knocking against something. Get them to remove to undertrays to find it on Monday. Back of the engine where the exhaust comes down would be where I would look. Thanks, AG Falco

A stone between the exhaust and heat shield would be my guess. Does it disappear if you raise the engine revs. Thanks, AG Falco

Turn the Car Bluetooth off and remove the passengers phone from the car's list of paired phones. Both via the phone button on the infotainment system. Thanks, AG Falco

Fully charge the car battery with smart charger, connecting it up the correct way. Clear all the fault codes then drive the car and see what happens. Thanks, AG Falco

The air filter is listed to change at 60K miles. You have to remove the air filter housing to get to the spark plugs. I changed my air filter when I did my spark plugs at 37.5K miles / 4 years old. The old air filter and spark plugs both looked good. If the air filter was not changed then I doubt the spark plugs will have been changed. Thanks, AG Falco

TB is common to all cylinders. The long life spark plugs are meant to be changed every 40K miles. What mileage are you at and have they be done? Is the car on Q16 variable or Q14 Fixed servicing? Thanks, AG Falco

I am on Android Auto Version 6.5.612124. I have no problems connecting with the car but I don't use a Pixel phone. For me every new phone / Android version / Android Auto version have brought improvements. Thanks, AG Falco

Mine has always done that in hot weather. Just be gentle with the throttle or let it idle for 30's and it goes. I think it is NOT adding fuel unlike on cold starts. Thanks, AG Falco

Try this in this order. Turn phone on. Turn Bluetooth and Location on. Open Android Auto on phone. Turn Car on. Turn infotainment system on. Turn Bluetooth on in car. Then connect Phone to car via Cable. Then select:- Menu, Smartlink, Android Auto Select ( Your ) Phone. You also need to do this without the car moving and with the handbrake on. Thanks, AG Falco

Check for extra Brexit charges before ordering from Delti.com/Mytyres in Germany. ( If over £135.00 ? ) https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/online-shopping-do-i-have-to-pay-vat-import-and-handling-costs-ajPOC6A5brEA Thanks, AG Falco

If a normal wheel / tyre fits in the boot then you could just get one to match. I have an alloy spare which is exactly the same as the rest of the wheels in my boot. It has a 185 60 15 tyre. The 16'' alloy wheel and tyre is no bigger in diameter, just a bit wider which will raise the boot floor a little. Or:- This one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254959028934?epid=1034622053&hash=item3b5cbe0ac6:g:XUsAAOSwYW9giQ0i Thanks, AG Falco

Had you been screwed or nailed. ( In the tyre. ) Did you try and see if your 16'' wheel tyre fits in your spare wheel well? Thanks, AG Falco

Fabia III 1.2 TSI Petrol. Thanks, AG Falco

If a 14'' steel wheel will fit on the car over the front brakes then it is a 175 70 14 tyre. What wheel/tyres do you have on the car. Always try and see if a full size wheel/tyre will fit in the boot first. Normal UK steel spare is a 6J x 15 with a 185 60 15 tyre. Thanks, AG Falco
