Sorry, I don't know and it's not something i have heard of. Sounds like a load of rubbish to me.

Yes very easy, just select the option and apply. No errors or anything. No it won't turn off as the stop start only cuts the engine not the power, so DLR lights, radio, headlights, and rear lights etc still work as normal when the Stop/Start function kicks in.

Thanks for this, very helpful. How would we know which one to use? I know firmware updating can be fraught with issues though.

Sometime people might be reading the subject, but not have time to reply and may reply later. Like me Anyway, I've used Carista on my car and anything you change can be changed back. I've enabled the Hill Hold, and like the one you want, the rear Scandinavian DLR lights, as well as a couple of others. You will be fine changing things via Carista. These things are tested a lot before being released to the public.

Yes! Funnily enough my daughters phone which we got for her a few weeks ago updated to iOS 14 when she first got it. When we tried out her new phone in the car to try out the Apple Car Play etc, the music, both Deezer and Amazon Music both were crackly. We wasn't using an original Apple cable, so i just put it down to this. Both my wife and myself have Android phones which doesn't have any issues playing music from Deezer or Amazon Music. I haven't had a chance to try her iPhone in the car with an original Apple cable as yet.

My daughters iPhone was updated to iOS 14 and works absolutely fine in our Fabia

I have found the weather has played a big part in me trying to keep my car clean and looking good. Given most of the country (apologies if you haven't) has had detailing unfriendly weather since early in the year. Sometimes it gets to the evening when it is an ideal time, but i just can't bothered to drag all the stuff out etc.

To be honest i don't know if it is on a fixed or variable service, it was not something i was made aware of during the handover. I might just have to call the dealership i got it from, even though i had bad service from them in the past (long story)

What has been mentioned about the price difference is the main reason for raising this query. The Skoda dealers want £169, whereas elsewhere I have been quoted a lot lot cheaper, for what basically is an oil change😠

Thanks, as mentioned in my original post, we can't find our T&C agreement. I think I will just get it done at an approved place, i just had bad experience with the 2 dealerships that are local to me, so they have lost my trust completely. Thanks again.

Hi, Apologies if this has been asked before, I've searched but couldn't find the definite answer. My Fabia was due it's 1st service during the Covid lockdown, so now things are sort of back to normal(ish) does anybody know if I must get my car serviced at a Skoda dealer/place with the electronic log book thing when my car is purchased via Skoda/VW PCP? I've tried looking for my PCP finance stuff for the T&C's but my wife has put them somewhere, but can't remember where. I've got a very good independent mechanic I trust, but he doesn't have the electronic log book thing, so will a paper receipt/log of the work done satisfy Skoda when I trade the car in, probably with Skoda again? Many thanks:)

I've got this engine in my Fabia. It drives fine, and wouldn't hesitate in buying one again. People who have been in the car are surprised how nippy/quick it is and don't know what spec or engine it is. Most of our driving is around town and dual carriageways/A roads. We have just come back from a short break holiday, the boot was fully loaded (having a wife and daughter who take everything but the kitchen sink with them) and the car was fine and at no point did i feel the car was under powered. I've had `fast' and bigger/turbo'd cars (Golf TDI/Toyota RAV4) and don't drive my Fabia any different. The reason I got this car is because I got a loan one for 2 weeks whilst my Citigo was at the dealers for a clutch problem. I did'nt know what engine it had or anything, but was impressed how it drove. When I took it back I asked the dealership what engine it had and was really surprised when the woman told me. She laughed and said "yes, we often get that reaction, as people think it will be a slow lump". This is an argument I have on various forums as people only see the spec on paper and automatically and think it will be a lumbering slow granny car, but i know it is not.

The leaving/coming home option lights can be enabled via Carista. Much cheaper than the dealer and you can also do other customization things as well : https://caristaapp.com/vehicles/skoda/fabia/nj

Some of the Timpsons key cutting/shoe repair places do car keys with the programming etc. Mother in law had hers done recently in the Sainsburys she shops at, and its alot cheaper than a dealer. https://www.timpson.co.uk/services/car-keys

I had the same problem with my radio when I fitted my Dashcam. I put a couple of ferrite cores on the dash cam power cable and the problem was solved. I put one near the camera and one near the start of the other end of the power cable. Problem was solved with a cheap fix.
