1.3 L , Anyone ?

I have sourced parts from breakers using Google search Shop.

'They' 'Fixed' my driver window . Got it home and found that still the driver door only locks with the key, but not on remote on the fob :( . 'They' are coming to my home address Thurs afternoon, now Tues , never ending story ...

Useful suggestions :) Hatboy does it so many times https://tinyurl.com/hatboy

With Thanks to Wino I used wet & dry handheld vacuum and sponge (lay flat, push down, rlse, and squeeze in a bucket) and kitchen paper and car heater ( it doesn't work to the feet, ok to screen & fascia,( https://tinyurl.com/no-heat-to-feet ) don't know why ? ) and a fan. Nearly there.Since 9 days ago :(.

Man @ Autoglass told me of this stuff, hadn't heard of it before :https://www.amazon.co.uk/Detection-Water-Ingress-Window-Bottle/dp/B006J8QIXA/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=uv+water+leak+detector+dye&qid=1602013151&sr=8-11

Autoglass Capers have fixed their leaking fitted windscreen (this afternoon), they say. In the meantime they tried to fix my non working electric window winder without my knowledge, at their expense, he said? Helpful, hey ? Now I have a waterproof new windscreen, he said . And non working central locking, was previously. Works with a key, thats nice hey? and a wedged up non working driver door window awaiting parts and fitting at their expense, he said. Never ending story. What next ? My car carpet is saturated :( My MOT expires at the end of the month, previously booked 15th Oct. Do they pass wedged up windows ? I am 75, errr ..

Thank you Wino :) Its raining .. Fabia floor has puddles front and rear. Maybe bailing out again soon, ready for more flooding. I will check your points . will cover car with plastic sheet :( .

Cracked windscreen replaced by Autoglass beginning September, the latest downpours bringing flooded driver side floor. Removed driver door card to check for panel leaks , can't ' see' anything untoward, put some sealer on it anyway. Auto glass site chat says open MONDAY today being Saturday. I'm Sure they fit 24 hours ! No money in fixing leaking fitted windscreens ?

Poke around here next, it's cold out there ..

Bloody hell, found this with a google on https://tinyurl.com/y5fauvev. He works quick

Yeah , goes to face and or screen, but not footwell. Where to look ? Next ? Thanks for replies :).

No heat output to feet, ok to screen ?

I took the fabia to the garage down the road. He said it was silencer baffles, and needs new shock absorbers. So I replaced the rear silencer, not blowing , the outer skin had holes but the inner skin was intact. No difference to knocking on speed humps. I then replaced the os rear shock, but I could not see anything wrong with it. At this stage I noticed the shock upper mount rubber was maybe too deteriorated but not causing any movement with just hand pressure. I have now replaced this mount https://tinyurl.com/y6n572l8 and now no knocking. The garage would have charged for shocks and exhaust system ...

Thank you, sepulchrave 🙂 Springs intact , ordered these droplinks ,says 2yr guarantee, ref : https://tinyurl.com/y2blhozj Droplink rubber looks perished, but intact . Bowders1 10 yrs ago did one side on an Octavia, ref https://tinyurl.com/yxdqs3ax likely not the same as a Fabia 1 ? I'll change droplinks first. Cant detect play in axle bushes, but does sometimes graunch noise nearside, knock offside. 92 K miles.

Noisy knocking, can't see any other reason. Can you do one side without total axle removal ?

'05 HTP was idling rough a year ago until i replaced the air filter and plugs, just repeated same today.

Bluetooth to fm , haven't done it myself, https://tinyurl.com/yd6dy8g4

https://tinyurl.com/sy8agrk Haven't tried it myself ..

Spray the door multi connector up the backside in the cabin with silicon grease ? Sealey SCS020S Clear Silicon Grease Lubricant 500ml How to access ? It is still working OK in this hot dry weather.

Not noticed sodden carpets ...

I have never noticed leaks into the cabin, where would it be from at that height above the floor ?

Because the electric window won't work after a downpour, until a few days later (with fair weather) ? The wires under the 'bellows' don't look damaged. But, with the 'fair weather' , it's working now ..

My rattling bonnet cleared when I replaced my disgustingly filthy air filter, and my spark plugs.
