Update car serviced today at Skoda dealer who said that there was no outstanding recalls and to ignore website saying to contact dealer ... Also I mentioned the infotainment software version of 1790 was out of date , but again they did not identify any update available Flipping useless

Passed MOT no advisories Mentioned to Skoda customer service that I had declined the rear drum clean as there was no way they would know without moving wheels which they hadn't .... Cheers Steve

Not yet I'm guessing they service car then MOT ?

Hi All Currently my 2023 Fabia is in for 3 year service and MOT at local Skoda dealer Part of the free safety check has flagged in red urgent rear drum clean due at a cost of £174 ! Car has only driven 20k miles and brakes works fine , including handbrake Is this a con ? or needs doing Thanks Steve

Yep that's how I checked Skoda dealer said will check and resolve when next in for service in a few weeks time I just thought recall details were normally stated when you check Regards Steve

Hi All Just checked Skoda recall website to check and my 2023 is showing please contact your service provider Just wondering if any one knows what latest recall is ? Only checked a few months ago and there were none so must be recent Btw I have contacted Skoda dealer as car is already booked in for a service so was told it would be checked then but no idea what it is ? Cheers Steve

Yep I'm not sure , the 2 years AA is not national recovery so would have to buy breakdown cover with national relay Will give it some thought Cheers Steve

Hello My Fabia 1.0 tsi 90 colour model is coming up to 3 years old and 20k miles Very happy with car and no plans to change Therefore looking at service plan for next 2 years and found out they also offer a product that includes 2 mots , 2 years breakdown , 2 services including sparkplugs and pollen filter and warranty for £40 a month Also says it includes sparkplugs and pollen filter, looks to be needed at 4 years where my car will have approx 28k not sure if they would change at lower mileage? Anyone purchased the above? Any recommendations/ advice appreciated For reference my 3 year service and MOT is costing approximately £300 So if you add 2 services and 2 mots £600 Sparkplugs £100 Pollen filter £50 2 years breakdown cover £200 2 years warranty almost free addition if purchase Thanks Steve

Yep main dealer , have service plan so no choice at moment

@Ootohere Hello Its part of the service plan I bought when I got the car , so don't know cost as its included in service plan I think it would just be a oil and inspection service @ 1 year thanks for the info Cheers Steve

Thanks for the replies , definitely upselling and not needed Cheers Steve

Definitely felt like upselling , can't see why its needed on a 12 month service interval on a new car?

Hello Have had my 2023 fabia almost 12 months , car has service plan so have just booked in first service , mileage is approx 8k miles Service department phoned saying that they recommend flushing the engine out before service extra cost approx. £40 Can't see why this is necessary ? never flushed oil out before on a modern car .... just keep it serviced Needed or not ? Cheers Steve

First car with all this new tech , will have to give car a clean more often than twice a year Cheers Steve

Many thanks will give car a good clean to see if it helps Cheers Steve

Hi All Just had a warning message saying that front assist is not available on my 2023 fabia colour model Not sure where sensor is located to check its clean ? Any help appreciated Thanks Steve

Hi never got round to fitting dash cam I thought the USBC in car was always live ? If that's not the case might connect mine to USBC Cheers Steve

Just wondering what fabia owners were getting mpg wise My 2023 tsi 95 seems to average low 50's , which seem decent to me Regards Steve

Many thanks , sounds ideal Regards Steve

Many thanks , do you leave the adapter plugged into car all the time , or just when using in case it drains battery ? Regards Steve

Think I will try a wireless dongle , but have no idea which one to buy , would appreciate it if you let mw know which one you are using Found this one on amazon but not sure its the right one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Android-Converts-Bluetooth-Compatible/dp/B0C4L8M3W9?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A3DM6POTZG4EGD Thanks Steve

My dealer said could not enable wireless AA , had to be part of original car build as it's hardware related Regards Steve

Still waiting for answer , dealer contacted Skoda not heard anything for a week Have chased dealer no reply Will let you know Cheers Steve

I ended up with a TSI 95 Fabia colour and is plenty quick enough, really pleased with how car drives Cheers Steve

AA would use data from your phone , I've got a 2023 colour TSI and love it , mirrors on mine don't have fold in button , when I park mine of busy road just fold in mirror by hand Mine does not come with AA wireless but is a option that I 'm looking at getting turned on to stop having to plug phone in Good luck with your search Cheers Steve
