  1. The right side DRL is the problem, the left side does work okay. Don't think it has rear DRL's, I've never seen them illuminated.
  2. You are right, the W5W is the parking/side light. I've found the DRL, it was blown, but a new bulb still hasn't solved the problem. Is there a fuse I should be looking at?
  3. Thank you. I will have a look as I was under the impression they were W5W type.
  4. Can anyone please point me in the right place to find out how to change the daytime running lights situated in the headlight housing on my 2016 Fabia estate? I rarely use Briskoda because the search facility for information never returns and content for what I am looking for. So I am asking if anyone can help me. I've searched video hosting sites, and I have found little information pertaining to the 501 Bulbs W5W type. Pleas help. Thanks.
  5. I've put the new battery on charge, started at 12.8v and 1 bar and quickly increased to 13.2v and 2 bars. So I will leave it going until its fully charged. I can fit the battery myself, thats okay, but coding is the problem. I have a ELM 327 OBD11 interface, but I am unsure about whether it will allow data entry or just read the data or not.
  6. Ringwood. Battery arrives today, but its not an urgent request, the old one is still working at the moment. If you can help, thank you.
  7. Hi everyone. I am situated in the New Forest and I was wondering if there was any kind soul might help with battery coding. The battery on my Fabia 3 (2016) needs changing, its been complaining about it for some time, the last service I had said the battery was weak. So I have now got a Bosche 72ah AGM battery, but no way of changing the information on the computer. The number of videos I've watched makes it look so straight forward, if I had a VCDS or other tool to do the job. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
  8. I have a 2016 1.2 TSi SE 110 bhp and its been very reliable, fuel consumption is good, very responsive. Keep it regularly serviced and it should be good for many years to come.
  9. If the mass of the car hasn't changed, then why would it require different braking components? A remap increases the performance, it changes nothing else. 🤷‍♀️
  10. I had clunking like that and it turned out to be worn suspension bushes. Heck of a noise going over bumps,
  11. I have exactly the same issue in my 2016 Fabia estate. Fitted a new antenna, seemed to help, now nothing unless I am in a very strong signal area, then it vanishes. Worked great a mile from the Wenvoe transmitter in Cardiff ......probably the metal fillings in my teeth might pick up stray signals there. 😂
  12. The frustrating instrument cluster display on my car is mind bogingly complicated. It was showing the digital MPH until I reset the trip meter............then it was replaced with the average MPH, and now thats disappeared too. How do I change these menus, I can't find any method that works. I do have aa switch on the end of the indicator stalk, but that cooers to do nothing.
  13. Had mine for two years, same model, and the sound levels are average. I had a1.6 TDI before this one and both cars were fairly quiet. Definitely no throaty sound.

  16. You won't see anything like that amount, the payment to you will be much less.
  17. Frustratingly I have tried several fixes for my DAB signal loss. I did fit a camera front and rear but it all worked okay afterwards. Even so, every power line associated with it has been also fitted with ceramic cores. When the DAB started to drop out it faded gradually until it was like a covid mask had been put on the signal and it disappeared completely. So I removed the camera....made no difference, and so I decided that it must be the aerial thats at fault. I then fitted a tried and tested screen aerial that I usedd before on several different cars I've owned, and magically the DAB came into life....but the performance isn't that good on this car. So I have now bought a replacement aerial, genuine one, 6C0 035 501 A 5FQ but looking at video's of different repair guides of polo's and earlier fabias the aerials are all bolted to the roof and the roof lining has a plastic bracket to be removed first. Mine doesn't on either count. Has anyone got any suggestions, or experience on replacing these aerials? Thanks for reading and possibly helping
