Actually, my understanding is that there are only three important settings when replacing the battery - Type - (AGM or EFB) ; AH rating; and the serial number (which can be invented)

Do you mean apart from making the vehicle non-compliant and illegal in UK?

IIRC, speed adjust acts as a speed limiter - the throttle response ceases once the set speed is attained - unless you override it using 'kick-down' by flooring the pedal in an emergency.

If you post an image showing the LH stalk, it can confirm what cruise system you have.

IIRC, the rear lamps aren't difficult to access from inside the trunk - if you can, try removing the indicated bulb and check the contacts on connector and bulb - is is possible that dirty contacts have created enough increased resistance to trigger the lamp fault even though the lamp is working.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Are the LEDs a recent change - or are they OEM? Replacement, after market LEDs can often cause issues with lamp monitoring systems. UK vehicles are commonly not fitted with two reversing lights - or rear fog light on LH side.

Good morning Gabriel, welcome to the forum. Has your battery become discharged - do you have any way of checking battery charge state and condition?

Electric power steering systems also have the advantage of being a lot easier to make adaptive to vehicle operating conditions.

Hello, your vehicle is fitted with an electrically assisted power steering system. I believe that option, when active, will restart the engine if steering wheel is turned while engine is stopped.

I was under the impression that the front assist radar is already fitted as standard, I thought this became mandatory sometime before MY16 model.

For ACC, I believe it can - from my understanding, it involves replacing the left-hand stalk and an adaptation made to the control module. I'm sure Aperture will be able to confirm.

If your budget can support it, recommend considering ACC instead of standard cruise.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Try flagging @ApertureS for this query, I'm pretty sure the retro-fitted parking sensors will operate through the existing infotainment system.

I'm not sure about the Mk2 - but IIRC the Mk3 has an option to source time from GPS signal.

I'm afraid so - It is a well known issue, try a search on the forum for sticking clutch pedal.

Assuming brake/clutch fluid level is correct, failing slave or master cylinder.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Very good of your garage to let you know. Clearly the loss adjuster is looking for a reason to refuse your claim. My advice would be to just relay what your garage has told you. Don't offer an opinion on anything other than that.

..... And the rubber mats currently in the lead by more than 2 to 1.

If the vehicle has automatic idle stop (stop/start) - and therefore a smart alternator, battery adaptation is required when fitting a new battery.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Was the battery adaptation (coding) carried out when the new battery was fitted? I strongly suggest that get get the battery tested, especially with a load test.

@Rachaellh Is your Fabia DSG (automatic) ? Are you able to say if the engine had stalled before you lost power steering assistance?

I'd consider having the injector rail securing bolts checked - especially number 1.

What model year? The North American recall was for MY16 to 18. It seems that VAG Europe has done nothing!

Hello, welcome to the forum. Most likely to be a sticking calliper, if you can, jack the affected wheel off the ground and check for drag when rotated - you can also check the wheel bearing for excess play or damage at the same time.

Collected the car this morning, failure was due to failed injector seal caused by loose securing bolt on number 1 injector. There has been no work done on the fuel system of this vehicle from new. Report of this failure submitted to DVSA.
