My wife is a bit younger than yours, she has driven an auto Fabia for 23 years, currently a 2025 1.0 DSG, with no problems, but as we get older and our joints get stiffer the benefits of not needing to use the left leg to operate the clutch, become more important. This advantage of an auto is greatest in slow speed manouvering and start stop traffic. Another key factor in your choice might be seat adjustability and visibility.

I have a 2002 Automatic AUA petrol engine Mk1 Fabia. The hard black plastic vacuum pipe from engine to brake servo has started to split next to the non-return valve, common problem apparantly. It is part 6Q2612041B but Skoda say this is no longer available. I plan to replace it between the non-return valve and the servo with silicone vacuum hose but I do not know what internal diameter hose I need to fit over the barbs on the connectors at each end. I do know that 4mm is too small !. Can anyone tell me what internal diameter I need? Thanks
