I agree it was ok.................however I would / do have it in the same place but across that mounting like below so it's not resting on the edge and with the axle stand as it is

oh dear................no need to get personal guys.............my dads bigger than your dad!!!...................😏 Plug in tuning boxes are a cheap "rough" way to tune (ish) an engine, thats a fact..............developed years ago "before" people had the ability and tech to "remap" the ECU software and do the job properly. Ask yourself this, if tuning boxes do the job, why do manufacturers not just plug one in for different models with diff power outputs...........and more importantly EVERY car ECU / engine is slightly different, a tuning box has a generic map designed to hopefully work on ANY particular model of car, it can never do the job properly. A proper ECU remap by someone who knows what they are doing will always be better and more specific to "your" engine and will use ALL the information the ECU receives as with a standard factory car / engine and "imo" ALL remaps should include a "before and after" rolling road to see what your money has bought. You have been given sound / good advice, choose to ignore it if you wish.

Compared to my 3 ton Landy I had for 12 years the Fabia runs on air !!!!!

Should be fine, its the correct type bulb. There is a 10w version of thses available, sometimes people fit those instead of the 5w as they look the same, but obviously they are hotter and can melt the lamps.

There is a relay in the system in the "earlier" 2009 models, but was deleted with the Bi-halogen lights............need to be 100% when your car was built and "if" they are factory lights (which I suspect they are) I had a look at the wiring diagrams, cannot find any ref to that plug at the lamp circuit.

Lovely front aerodynamic bumper..........then add these "scoops" to the front.............don't get it sorry...!! I bet they add to mpg consumption.

Not true, you would need to buy the bluetooth module which is plug and play, not a new unit. Loads of them on Ebay, for example.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-SEAT-SKODA-BLUETOOTH-MODULE-Retrofit-KIT-RNS510-RCD510-7P6035730K/264802036811?hash=item3da76e6c4b:g:5ogAAOSwR~tex4FO Just make sure you purchase one "with" a wiring loom as well.

Either or will work

not 100% sure, it seems it can be removed with the bumper on the car.............although there seems to be lots of breakage going on !! Personally, I think I would remove bumper so I could see whats behind before trying to lever bits off.

I can't see how coding would fix this / why its even "codable".............and more to the point how the coding even changed itself I would suggest the problem lies in the drivers door window motor / controller as thats the master which all the others go through, more likely water ingress / corrosion.

Thats the number I sent you in a PM.............🙂 ref your car being made, it was June 2012 same as the switch. @WIno the 9B9 just means it's satin black, so VW and Audi changed the colour for their vehicles it seems.

Thats what the Haynes manual ALWAYS says!!

My question would be why the need for it ?

to be honest...............if the car is still under warranty.............then as long as its obvious the corrosion is coming from "within" whatever it is, there should be no arguement from any dealer.

glad its sorted 👍 Out of interest...............how did you come to pull the switch of the interior light ?

if the front side lights are working, then it must be bulbs as they are fed from the same connection in the wiring harness.

Are the DRL'S still working ?

really depends on budget. A decent "named" brand unit is going to be upwards of £800 + ............................like this for example.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KENWOOD-DNX518VDABS-VW-T5-SAT-NAV-BLUETOOTH-DAB-APPLE-CARPLAY-ANDROID-AUTO/182056592454?epid=16025582226&hash=item2a636b2446:g:6PUAAOSwRjxcCVLJ its the Apple play that adds the cost considerably. the other option is a Factory Nav unit like an RNS315 or 510, will do everything you want EXCEPT Apple play....... but will be around £350 ish..... Both options above avoid the chinese rubbish.

late may was when the facelift started I would think.. Interesing thing is, I would think the switches are pretty much the same, but Fabia stuff is normally 5J and the later switches are 6R which is Polo. Anway, he could PM his VIN and then we would know.

yes the top cowl just clips off, carefully prize it apart at one side. So if you do that, hopefully there will be a sticker with the number on it just on the top.

now im confused !!!! 🤔 There is 2 Ops with the SAME issue ? my post ref cruise, was to Fawnrush.................to be 100% honest did not even notice the different names.....

good luck with that !!!
