Hi all, I am noticing a leak of automatic transmission fluid from lower edge ,passenger side of the auto box. There is a sensor which I can feel but not see ,that I feel is the culprit. I am hoping that I can lower the gearbox end (IE Tilt the unit) so that I can view the sensor. has anyone done this and encountered any particular problems , or quick tricks to help. Thanks in anticipation Mick

Thank you, that clears that up. Book the MOT now

Hi all, I am hoping that I have found the starting fault issue. I believe it was one of the hidden relays behind the dash, the long one . it seemed loose in the carrier so OI twisted the pins slightly and it appears to be working now. I just checked the headlights and they only appear to work with the ignition ON , is that correct, My own vehicle works without .Thanks in advance

Hi all I am trying to find drawings of the ECU for a Fabia Mk1 1.4 16v auto in order to locate all the earth (Supulchre suggested I look at all the earths ) I can see 2 ECU`s one on the back wall and one behind the battery. If I can find drawings I can check all the earthing points So far I have done the 2 large ones in the engine bay but cannot find the one in front of the gear stick. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.

Thank you, I shall check the earths tomorrow

Hi all. my sons car has recently developed a starting problem its a1.4 16v petrol and starts on the button 99.5 percent of the time however just lately it refuses to start no mater what you do .if you leave it overnight it starts first time again. I had it transported to my house just after x mas and every time I passed it it started yesterday it started at 10 am then wouldnt start at 10..10. my cheap diag machine says injector open circuit to injectors on all cylinders if I clear it it starts. Where should I be looking please. Thanks Mick

Thanks for that, certainly worth a try

Hi all. I seem to have resolved the "bank1" mixture problem , by cutting a bad end to a vacuum pipe. I now have an air bag light lit but I am unable to see it on my cheap diagnostic tool.is there any quick way to extinguish the light please or perhaps somewhere to look for solution to the problem. On another note someone on Marketplace is offering a VAG diagnostic programme for a laptop and is prepared to install it and prove that it works prior to payment. Any info would be appreciated. The price is £45 . Thanks in advance Mick

Thanks ever so much,really appreciated.

Hi all just put reader on my sons car and it is showing "Fuel trim bank A " Could someone explain please,the car is running fine. Thanks in advance

It spins over ok, I suspect the battery ,its 4 years old and is onlyn used on short journeys

Hi all, another little brain teaser has occurred. the illumination of the fuel gauge and temperature gauge refuse to turn off, no matter the position of light switch or ignition switch. Could anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance Mick

thanks will do

Sure, no problem. the main issue is that the EPC lamp is on. I have put a new evap valve on and it has made no difference. It has also had a full service ,again its made no difference. The other problem is my fault, I removed the dash to check the wiring ,without removing the battery. I dont know if anyone can help, I would appreciate any help

Thanks for that,I have messaged a couple. Thanks again

Hi all, where would I look on here for someone local to me who has diagnostics capability for a Fabia Mk 1 Petrol 1.4 16valve Please. Thanks
