Battery replacement? Confusing...
PaulCanning replied to Plynchy's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk III (2014-2021)
Yep, should've RTFM lol. I've had a look at several of your posts re charging, theme seems to be "low and slow" any recommended chargers? My main issue is Ive a designated space and not right outside my house, had to run the extension lead past 2 neighbours doors and a public footpath, not sure how I feel about leaving that overnight 😞 -

Bit more googling and have reset the light by turning ignition on and off several times, didn't honestly think that was gonna work! Now to investigate whats the best way of maintaining the battery as mentioned by @nta16 above 👍 -

Damn, I charged it and it's started no problem but now theres an engine management light on, after further reading (and being old school) thought I could charge like any other car but appears I should have used the post on the chassis for negative 😞 I brought the car to skoda on other side of town about 5 miles and they did a battery health check saying the battery is fine. -

Timely post, yesterday I had a low battery warning on my 2021 fabia (pre owned from dealer) with no previous issues. I usually commute 40 miles 5 days a week, i suspect being off this week with no use and the cold and age of battery are to blame for todays non starting. Multimeter states only 11.8v 😞 Popped on charge so will see what happens, hopefully not a new battery! -

£230? what about this one isn't it the right one? half the price. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155127147079?hash=item241e4c6a47:g:T7IAAOSwc7RkY68E&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4N03nm19CsbHIYgN%2Fhoy85pk8%2BfQHSOllQy6YCDF70kDnyhERIk5aW%2B%2Fvsch1TNngYV1nkjIsk8RTG19H2nAdx%2Bdxo%2F4tn71wZd1WiHverPiZwVqmInKNOWsgIm7%2FTDTERQu2qHbHjbGUZ1sVIgXjVlJy611QTLKSlFSt7d5Jn56uFapIDfYuvlD%2BfNQb5ezr5RZqWSibPEPFKDQzivHILTcYmYXhpxQdUFm4klP1tcP1Wdf4P4HQiiCCRI1sKDZixe54nK76wtpDQk57V8gr1JbuyIAc7Pdvk8c4GIond22|tkp%3ABk9SR-bGvpitYg I don't mind second hand -
thanks for the reply, they really are an arse to fit, think i have the all correct now but Christ they are hassle. Looking about thouugh even the expensive sets seem similar! Last time I had a gutterless car it had the slots in the roof you just moved the plastic and clamped them on. Skoda should have kept to the simply clever but they didn't it appears in this case.

.... they can't be that shoddy? Instructions are crap, different sized feet for the front and rear and no instructions on which is front or rear, there's 2 holes on the car where I assume the expensive skoda bars fit, the Cruz ones just have one peg so does it matter which hole and does that affect how the bar sits in the frame of the door when shut? Really struggling with this. https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel4_tab.php/roofbars/cruz_optiplus_120cm_roof_bars_2_no_st_120_921_310_/Qx%40w%2C6M4gNax5vN1Yv0vegd3uHKClPkQYUDS1%40ZwrhrVzg1cH1LNLTs`f6vf3xRAH

Nope, as I say, not the same as mine. Excellent! mines exactly as you described as you can see from my picture above. I assumed the torx was actually for removing the jets so didn't want to fiddle with it I have to admit! Right, off to the shed to find a torx head to fit!

Any luck with this as mine are too high 😞 half the fluids shooting over the roof. The video posted of the mark 4 golf didn't help as they are different

Fabia III hatch boot liner recommendations?
PaulCanning replied to PaulCanning's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk III (2014-2021)
Dammit, ignore me chaps. I thought it had a low floor but it doesn't, I just looked again and can only assume I thought this due to the fact the rear fold down seats stay above the level of the boot floor. I'm an eejit.
