Finally going to put my beloved fabia vrs estate up for sale. Need a bigger car for work. Will be sorly missed absolute pocket rocket . Just about to have a service too No idea how to post for sale on here looks like I've got t o pay £10 to be a freedom member which is fair. But why is it so complicated. Emyhoo bye bye

Couldn't see a join or socket in tailgate but I've had problems sorted in area just into the roof from the bellows area affecting rear wiper so wire break possible as I've also just sorted passenger window as partial wire break in bellows on door

Noticed for awhile tailgate didn't unlock on the fob .it used to. Then now and again I'd go to open tailgate and it wasn't having it. I'd have to lock and unlock couple of times. This only happened now and again . We'll today it wasn't opening at all .so popped it from inside to check it out. Lock was replaced 3 years ago. And there power to that but the microswitch release switch handle doesn't do enything, no wire damaged that I can see and there isn't eny power to the switch ? Or is the switch just foopard

Skoda own brand..found some info. Looks like the rubber pads are just stuck to rails as been on from new .

As above or rather ,how to get them off. Have keys to undo covers move side tab lift lever all moves away from rail but can't lift bars off Are there hidden fittings.cant find enything about these on Internet. Slightly baffled by these. Now 2 skoda,s in the family

Further on with the Saga of rear wiper unit.1st one sent out was or had been dropped bad nasty copy sent back ,2nd I got from Germany even checked vin,sweeped once everytime I started car then died.so slightly better crap copy, 3rd time luck from another UK supplier. Looked OK. Doesn't fit by miles so that's going back and hopefully tomorrow will pick up a so called genuine one from nearest skoda main stealers.£83 plus vodka and ttonic.wiring been checked but i bey it's not right

Body control module .nightmare if that's foopard we shall see

BCM is ?

Also apart from wiper not working at all now ,the number plate lights light up when I start car then go off and come on with heated rear window aswell.all fuses are fine too

Checked all wiring in tailgate and through the hinge bellows all OK.ive just had delivery of new wiper motor unit but I'm having an auto electrician check it tomorrow as I'm sure it's more than just the wiper motor is duff.unless motor earth's though its mounts,have this feeling I've a gremlin

2011 vrs combi.intermitant fault on rear wiper stops for abit then goes again motor is buzzing too. Today my rear number plate lamps glow when I open tailgate and don't work when I turn lights on and lamp fault on dash,would duff wiper cause this or would it be a wiring fault further back. Both bulbs are OK getting 0 volts when lights on and tailgate shut when open 3.5 volts so bulbs glow abit

Interesting, I'd just noticed increase of whine sort of noise.then when I had the intake air leak code come up I also had 2nd clutch below tolerance show up.dsg working perfectly as it should at moment .quote I've ha shows 450 labour .595 clutch pack .75 adaptive drive.463 duel mass flywheel.plus Vodafone and tonic

Come to think of it I didn't know DSG had a duel mass flywheel ,only knew it had two clutch plates

And I've just realised I've had car as my daily 3 years

Local independent skoda audi specialist. Theve not road tested it .just asked for qoute as had 2nd clutch plate low code come up

After much prodding and packing thoughts were leaky injector seal,once stripped it turned out to be failed intake manifold gasket on my 2011 vrs 1.4 .so not so expensive to sort. On the other had I've 1 dsg clutch low so clutch kit needed and prob flywheel cars done 76.000 been quoted £1899 to replace and set up .is that average or too much I know clutch pack kit is 545 ish does it always need duel mass aswell .cars running perfect gears perfect just a tad whiny at low speeds with window open lol

As above ,has stopped once before but it stopped today for no reason
