Thank you, I will have a look in the software. That would be usefull to be able to do.

Have to say as jobs go its an interesting one, most of what I do is machine new parts for traction engines. Id swap for an office job sometimes.

Thank you I will check again in the morning, fingers crossed.

Thank you for trying. I checked all the fuses in the box with a multi meter, What I cant see from the wiring diagram is the placement of the fuse in relation to the wiper motor. My guess is its between the relay in the power control unit and the motor its self. When I have had large volumes of tea I will look through the diagram again. I work on steam engines for a living so these infernal combustion cars are a bit modern for me. Once again thank you for trying.

Thank you

Hi I put my ear next to the unit not a sound from it.

Thats coming on for being the only thing left to look at. I hope not as it looks like a real pain to get too.

Well to be accurate, nothing. It seems its a common fault with this car but having gone through the obviouse im not having much luck. I had a chat with a Skoda tech and he recomended replacing the power control unit I did that having first checked all the fuses and hunted for the bonnet switch. I have also had the wiper motor off and tested it on the bench, runs fine with voltage applied to the terminals. I bought a cable and the Ross tech lite software but could find no error codes. It was worth having as I used it to code the replacment power unit. At a bit of a loss at the moment.. Many thanks. Kevin

Thank you, that rules out one more issue on the great front wiper issue. along with fuses!

Thank you for the rapid reply to my first question. My second relates to the bonnet switch. I know its supposed to be on the lock plate for the bonnet, but our fabia mk1 dosnt seem to have a switch. I have searched the entire area and can find no sign of a switch. Do all Fabia mk1's have the switch? Im at a bit of a loss. Many thanks for any help. Kevin

Thank you.

HI For my first post may I ask has any one replaced one of the Electronic Control Modules? I can see how it comes out and have bought the software and cable to re code it but I am simply not sure if I shoule disconect the vehicle battery first. If I do disconect the battery will this effect the immobiliser? Any help would be much appreciated.. Kevin

HI Just joined the forum after looking in for some time. My boy has a 2006 Skoda fabia and no money to work on it so I have been roped in to helping. As I know nothing about new cars I thought a forum would be a good place to start. Kevin
