    Mk3 Fabia Owners Register

    in Skoda Fabia Mk III (2014-2021)

    Posted

    Hi all

     

    Time to announce my leaving of the forum full time. Will still hang around but have changed my Mk3 for a 955 generation Porsche Cayenne. 

     

    As as mentioned in my post when I joined I can from an Audi A6 Avant and after 10 months or so with the Fabia I needed my engine back.

    Hi the_raz

     

    I had a similar thing on my MK3 Combi, but for me it was a case of the front / rear doors being out of sync occasionally.

    I would pop the driver's door from the handle but the rear doors (usually only one) would still be locked.

     

    Never figured it out, but don't have the car anymore

    I have no idea but I would suspect they have to modify UK cars for right hand drive linkage to the pedals maybe some of our continental members can tell us Joe

    I drive a LHD Fabia and can confirm the pedal box is in a position that is only comfortable for someone with a physical deformity. 

     

    Same as my previous car (Audi) 

     

    it it seems also as if the steering wheel is not aligned with the center of the seat in German cars too.

    Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences!  

     

    I am still trying to work it all out.  Forgetting the car and then repairing doesn't seem to work.

     

    I get the message "MIB STD2: The connected device is not supported" on the phone and on the car it says "Connection failed.  Please check whether your mobile device is compatible for use with "Smartlink".

     

    I am starting the car and waiting for it to prompt me before I connect the phone.

     

    It seems that If I leave it plugged in and try to connect multiple times and keep going in and out of the maps app on my phone that it then eventually connects and works perfectly.  I will have to try what mmobile says above and just plug it in a leave it to see if it sorts itself out.

     

    All a bit frustrating as I would rather get in the car and drive away rather than having to spend time faffing with CarPlay to get it working.  Do you think that this is something that Apple will fix in an update or is the problem with Skoda's software?  I imagine that getting an update the the Car's software is no where near as simple as an update from apple!

     

    Thanks everyone! JP

     

    I know it sounds a little stupid. But what cable are you using?

     

    I have had trouble with cheap generic cables. 

    Try with an official Apple one or one that is MFi certified

    I always use the exact same steps as Jedispooner and have never had any problems until this week.

     

    The system does not like to be plugged in before the Bolero unit is switched on for some reason. Very flaky. 

     

    My audio was silent and then choppy on the first connection on iOS11. I just forgot the Fabia in the Carplay menu on my phone and connected again. 

     

    Bingo! Back to trouble free. 

    My process is as follows

     

    open door and get in

    connect iPhone

    start car and drive off

    after 1-min everything is working as expected.

     

    one strange (or intentional) thing I notice, if you leave the phone in the car after your get out and then get back in the car you hear the connection sound on the phone when you sit down on the seat perhaps using the same sensor as the seatbelt alarm?

    Hi guys, after upgrading to iOS11 I am having trouble connecting to my Fabia MKIII.  Anyone else having issues?  I wonder if resetting all settings on the car and then starting from scratch is the way to go?

     

    Cheers,

    JP

    What issues are you having?

     

    i have been using iOS11 since the first Beta and have not had “many” issues. 

     

    Perhaps you can “forget car” and repair it, that usually helps. And only takes a few seconds. 

    Possible change from Octavia to Fabia

    I moved from a re-mapped 3.0TDI A6 Quattro to my Fabia 1.2 (90) and after 7000Kms in 2 months still find the Fabia a fun car to drive. 

     

    It it does not have the power of course but in town and on small country (gravel roads in Finland) I enjoy it more than I could ever imagine. 

     

    Ignore the suggested gear gear indicator and rev the ba$&s of it and it is a fun and rewarding drive.

    Nice combination of colors. Maybe to put grille frame in black too.

    Those wheels are Beam, 16". Savio's are 17".

     

     

    Good point about the wheels :) you would think I know my own car :)

     

    I plan to fit the black grille and also the full black badge set from Superskoda

     

    The car is a work in progress only 6 weeks old.
