Thanks for the info, do you know how far either side of the the indentation on the sill is reinforced, or is it simply as far as the metal is visibly thicker?

Hi everyone, Recently I purchased a Skoda superb mk2 2.0tdi and would like to do some work on it. However, other than the lifting points on the sills (where it is indented with an arrow) I can't see any prescribed areas where the car can be supported. I am asking as I only go under a car if there is at least two forms of support for the sake of safety. does anyone know any other structural hard points where which the car can be supported from without damaging anything? Thanks

Thanks for the information, I am currently looking at getting a new car with 4wd, two options I was considering were the skoda yeti and LR freelander 2 which uses the same system. With a max budget of £4500 I am looking at ones with moderate milage (70-100K) so maybe I should also factor in a replacement pump, filter and fluid to be on the safe side.

Hi, what milage did this issue occur at?

Update: just got in the car and the electric windows are working again, how i am not sure. When I get the time I will definitely be replacing the battery as the last thing I need is to be stuck in the middle of nowhere. Also I will remove the do card, check/fix all the seals and make sure there is no corrosion on any of the electrical contacts. On a side note, how well do fabias hold up at high mileages? mine currently has 100k on the clock, it has the 1.4bxw engine.

Thanks for all the advice, I don't think I did check fuse 11 so I will do that as soon as I have time. Replacing the battery may also be a good shout as its at least 5/6 years old and probably worn out. Also I think I should add, recently I replaced the driver's door wiring loom, it is possible I may have damaged a seal or vapour barrier resulting in moisture ingress. Could this be a cause?

I checked the battery and everything seems ok. The readings were 12.1V with the engine off, 14.5V with the engine running and 14.1V with all the lights, heaters, AC an fans on full (high load).

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I don't have a battery charger, but I do have a multimeter so I'll check the battery voltage with the engine off and when running to see if the battery or alternator has problems. I guess disconnecting the battery and leaving the car for a few hours may also be worth a try.

Hi all, Recently I found that both front electric windows have stopped working on my 2007 mk2 fabia, none of the switches work. Also none of the fuses for the windows were blown and the door loom wires are not broken. Strangely when putting the key in the drivers door lock and holding in the unlocked/locked positions the windows would open and close. After doing some research I thought of three possibilities: 1.All the switches have failed within a week of each other (unlikely but possible i guess) 2.the control module in the drivers door has failed 3.the comfort module is malfunctioning I would really appreciate any thoughts as to what could be wrong. Thanks in advance.
