Dear Experts , Can some body please guide me technique to open the gear lever shiny boot rim as attached in image , there must be some some way to open it , have tried a pres and life a lot from end of it as shown with arrow assuming there will be some lock at the end of boot it but no luck , don't want to break it. Rest opening trim seems straight forward just have 3 screws not bad but gear lever boot part seems tricky. Found some information from skoda manual which seems for car which have armrest. Any thought please . Regrds

Interesting why and how to do it ??

Much appreciate @Breezy_Pete and @Jack25 for offering guidance and support , the matter is resolved looks like unwanted modules configuration were added accidentally or intentionally /some were missed out as well and car ECU complains about them, corrected the ecu configuration , and CANBUS is happy error disappeared. AIR bag issue is confirmed and still work in progress . Thanks Kind regards

Analysed and found issue with resolution plan : This was achieved using VCDS in my case central locking button switch was not locking doors but unclock was working fine so I have tested live data of ECU and found that the button when clicked for locking is un-operational in VCDS status means button may have circuit/ mechanism issue or soldiering issue . please find attached screen shot it may help , the live option was inside under number 9 Cent Elect option I think. Thanks kind regards

Dear Pete , Thanks a lot for yoru advice , Thought to update , Solved many issues just left with 3 related AIR bag issues , Air Con ( normals gas issue - low priority and 1 door hinge locking issue , online reading/watching videos and also VCDS team guided me ECU coding was very easy . Thanks to you for you invaluable advice as always in choosing VCDS supplier. So far issues and their status : Mechanical key central locking - Wrong part number, driver actuator , all fine now -Solved Understood why the passenger air bag light was not coming up on dashboard even though there was ABS error, it was disabled in cpu , and now enabled it using VCDS -Solved Radio error was coming , corrected the configuration using VCDS - error gone -Solved Navigation error was coming , corrected the configuration using vcds - error gone -Solved Central lock/unlcok button switch was not locking but unlocking all doors perfctly - analysed using vcds and found that switch is issue because unlocking working fine -Identified what needs to be done next Door hinge issue- Identified what needs to be done next Air Con issue - Known still not investigated further will not need AC 3 Passenger bag light issue : Looked the belts it seems they are changed , I think novice mechanic may have messed up with yellow plugs may be broken or loose - let see May need to clear the old crash date from controller - Need to understand what/how/where . to be done ( ANY thoughts please, Also not sure if it is needed or not because it may not be old data may eb showing current data. Lastly need FOB central locking mechanism with duplicate key - discussed with auto-lock smith hopefully will be done soon. ( Any thoughts) Much appreciated your time and support always. Will ping u soon Thanks Kind regrds

Interesting ??? Some connector can make such big mess which is very possible because of novince apprentice electrical /mechanics does not know how to unplug it properly.

Hi Experts , Can some body please confirm if AIRBag part number is correct as per attached screenshot of vcds ( 6R0959655K) for Fabia Mk2 13plate Monet Carlo 1.2 Tech tsi. Thanks in advance. Kind Regrds

Looked the BCM part seems fine for car , but can we test and check the coding of it? . Any thoughts please on approach ? Anybody can share screen shot of configuration please ?

Hi Experts , Can someone please advice if VCDS can help to investigate the button locking issue - this button does not lock any/all doors , no relay sound is heard when it is clicked ( possibly relay if yes then please advice location of it ), but the button behaves fine with unlocking behaviour and surprisingly the button also glows LED when doors are locked form outside with mechanically key. Car Key Fob is also NOT working . This issue is making unpredicted behaviour of car it gets automatically locks itself and cannot be even opened mechanically with KEY ( fortunately I keep one/2 glass down so that we can unlock using inner handle . Is it faulty button switch or Body management controller any thought also any approach to disgnosie issue using vcds . VCDS shows door lock/unlcok open/close all option works as expected Any input would be highly appreciated. Thanks Kind regrds .

@Breezy_Pete Much appreciated your support as always , I got fitted 5N2837016E which seems locking /unlocking the car and even car making alarm of forced entry test done when one door was not closed, and also as advised 5N2837016E had same PR:L0R+4F1/ 4K3 features like 5N2837016M , FOB is still issue will scan and see if programming issue or some receiving module/ecu issue will investigate with vcds and update , but at least car is getting locked/unlocked mechanically with key . I have also ordered part 5N2837016M worst case scenario from Germany Autodoc. Thank you so much Kind Regards

sorry looked the chat GPT which has given below info- Can any validate please . 5J0 920 910C — your exact revision 5J0 920 910CX — factory remanufactured All require immobiliser adaptation (PIN/CS transfer). Thanks regards

Dear Experts, If possible Can somebody please share photo of their instrument cluster matching my car , as I feel something is not right with current cluster, I have attached photo for my cluster. Also please share if anybody knows OEM number which fits in my car just incase if I need to buy (Monte Carlo fabia 13 plate TSI (105 , CBZB Engine code). Found this which matches mine : 5J0920941E has been used of Skoda Octavia Mk3 ebay number 366177451229 Not sure if my car expects 5J0920941C or CX does not like 5J0920941E Thanks Kind Regards raky

Hi Experts , Sorry I think air bag controller /module and airbag are two different parts- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu6KrndkA0Y

Appreciate @Jack25 will try soon. regards

Apologies please yes it mk2 I shall be careful next time .

VCDS experts shared below info : 01044 - Control Module Incorrectly Coded That is the end result of: 15-Airbags -- Status: Not registered Someone removed Airbags from the installation list and it was likely in an attempt to mask the Seatbelt and Side Airbag problems. You can add it back into the GVL by connecting to address 19-CAN Gateway and using this function in VCDS:

Hi Experts , Sorry to bother you, Can you please advice if these two serious issues are and resoluble by vcds , I believe novice mech/electricians who had repaired this car in past may have never used VCDS software after changing critical electoral parts. There is NO engine light issue Car is fabia mk2 ( Monte Carlo 13 plate) drives fine and smooth. My main concern is about two issues- CAN gateway and AirBag faults ,CAR steering looks brand new with Air Bag so dont suspect any issue there beacuse there is no engine light or any other dashboard light , looked like Control module have not been coded as per error may be after replacing air bag or ABS system. I have licensed VCDS. just ran basic scan on car and found these issue , I will run deep test scan once I get fixed door actuator, so just curious if all below issues are resolvable with VCDS assuming there is NO physical car part issue , I have gut feeling that these error code may have already resolved but not cleared from memory by using VCDS or any VG related diagnostic tool. I need to make important decision about car any early input be highly appreciated. I am also bothering @Breezy_Pete as well on this matter. Any help would be highly appreciated Thanks you so much .

Great news notice that intermittently I was getting MAP sensor error code ,Remembered that around year back I have done cleaning of MAP sensor, looked like I have NOT tightened properly I was scared to tighten because of fear that it may create thread issue , so tightened properly and never seen error code again since 3 weeks. I am only intermittently getting o2 sensor error which now it is because of Flexi leak and it is intermittent once a while comes and disappears automatically. Skoda is always very heathy car . regrds

Hiyeah ,Looks like current fitted actuator (26C1S2837016B) have 7 pins socket and may be compatibility for Volkswagen Up model from 2011 to 2017 for 3 door cars , as @Breezy_Pete advised OEM parts 5N2837016C, 5N2837016M for my fabia , both have 6 pins as per online specification. MY driver door wiring loom OEM number 5J0120GK as per sticker attached, and motor oem number 6R0. 959.802.AN ( 42556A Inteva ER MR6) look possibly correct part for fabia mk2. I have also noticed that actuator plug on wiring loom(5J0120GK) have 7 pins as well. hopefully VCDS scan and will give me some insight and no wiring issue. This existing door lock actuator (26C 1S2837016B) may NOT suitable for Fabia mk2 driver side for sure but may work passenger side of fabia. Thought this info may help others. Thanks kind regrds

Dear Pete , So kind of you for your time and advice . Stay blessed regards

Dear Pete , As always grateful to your for invaluable advice, Once I complete VCDS scan I shall contact you for Actuator parts number as well to me it seems the current driver door lock actuataor may be wrong part fitted by mechanic and it has printed on it 26C1S2837016B I think google says 1S2837016B number what matters. The website Skoda-parts.co.uk advice buying OEM part 5N1837016C, 5N1837016M, 5N1837016A, 5N1837016E, 1S1837016C for Monte Carlo mk2 tsi driver door actuator. I shall keep u posted progress will definitely take your advice. 26C → internal factory/mould code 1S2837016B → the actual OEM part number Once again appreciate your time. Thanks Kind Regards

Hi @ChrisJW25 can you please advice what actuator oem number u have bought for your fabia . thanks regrds

Hi , Can somebody please guide me wht are plastic part numbers which are fitted as to cover engine from underneath e.g under tray, the car is Monte Carlo Mk2 13 plate ( Car is leas than 50k), possibly need driver side actuator as well and need part number of that as well if possible, I shall look up on https://www.skoda-parts.com/online-store.html incase if somebody have experience of opening bumper please advice , I saw underneath there was no plastic cover . I have also seen wheel liner front plastic part was loose and hanging possible missing some screws. I would like to see if mechanic can open bumper and fix properly everything after buying necessary plastic parts attached underwear with bumper. If any body have done bumper replacement please ping me I would get rough idea about efforts and parts needed to get things done properly. Also please let me know if somebody have done driver side wiring fix, repair work as my central lock is not working , may need repair / new driver door actuator. I am getting done major service please advice i am missing any thing. MAP/MAF Sensor cleaning crank sensor cleaning ( if any ) Engine oil change Oil filter Cabin filter Spark plugs - change Brake fluid bleed Coolant flush Gear box fluid Change Steering fluid change ( Hope it can be done easily ). Not sure of Fuel filter ?? Battery is new Already Oxygen sensor cleaning Antirust under-seal coating ( Any idea which brand is best ) Any thoughts please would be high appreciated. Thanks for your time. Kind Regards raky

Just for info MY MOT centre is very reputed and never misses even smallest issue in car during MOT I do regular MOT from same centre because I want good car with good MOT not just for sake of legal reason but for my safety. So just want to make it aware. regrds

@AnnoyingPentium Appreciate your advice , agree peopel get scare of engine light but in my case engine light does NOT harm the drivability of car , last team I had sprayed throttle body cleaner and cleaned MAP sensor ( which was not dirty at all ) and Flexi got changed engine light NEVER came for good few months, slight exhaust leak is back again( ebay Felixi are poor quality ) I think it may be the culprit again as rear o2 sensor finds funny oxygen amount may be loop backing wrong info to ecu , unbalancing the air fuel ratio, car works smooth ( no sound at all when engine is started ) even on motor way if light come in. i am open to offers would be much happier if somebody enjoys for year , lean , uses it or sells for scrap it for (GBP160-180). I have Parking issue as bought another car insurance is also expiring very soon . Anybody looking for just learning their family can take long drive on my car if they have own insurance. Any body interested please do ping me . Thanks Regrds raky
