1) I just take it to the car wash and get Wash & Wax done. 2) I've cleaned the screen with Halford Glass Cleaner recently, this was after I made the post about the streaks last week. But I've been noticing these droplets stay on for hours ever since I've got the car. 3) Not sure what screen wash was used. Whatever the previous owner had, I've still got that in. Not mixed anything. It's definitely not freshly done as the rain doesn't clear off. But I'm thinking the previous owner may have used it a while back. I can't think of any other reasons why the droplets would stay. Plus when I look at every other car on my street, there screens have all pretty much dried up.

I've been having problems with streaks left by my windscreen wiper as well. Made a post about that a week or so ago. Not sure if it's related in any way

I've only had my car for a month but I've been noticing that a couple of hours after it has rained, the droplets stay on my windscreen. Whereas on other cars, it has pretty much dried up. Why is that? I haven't used any products on my windshield other than the foam on a standard car wash. Did the previous owner use Rain-X or something? And if so, how can I get rid of that? I've attached two pictures for reference. First is of my car and you can see the rain droplets. And the second is of my dads car and you can see there's no droplets and the rain has pretty much dried up. Anyone know the issue? Thanks

Only on the drivers side.

Ok will avoid that. I just want a clear windscreen 😭

I've had this problem for a while now and it's really starting to annoy me. Everytime I use the windscreen wipers when it's raining or when there is condensation, the wipers leaves huge streaks which impairs my vision. Especially when it's raining at night, it is almost impossible to drive with lights reflecting off the streaks. I'm driving very cautiously as it is beginning to get dangerous now. I don't know what to do. I've cleaned my wipers. No change. I replaced them wipers and got new ones. Still no change. I've washed the windscreen, still no change. I honestly don't know what to do right now. I was thinking of applying Rain-X, but I've seen a lot of bad reviews and that it will make the streaks even worse. Ive attached a picture so you understand what I'm saying. The picture isn't the best as it in the night but you can still see the streaks that have been left after using the wipers. Please help! Has this happened to anyone and does anyone know what can be done to remove the streaks?

I'm thinking of getting new wheel trims for my fabia 1.2 10 reg. I've found these on Ebay. What's your honest opinion on them? Do they look okay or are they too a bit too tacky? And do you have any recommendations?

That'd be great thanks!

Currently own a Fabia 1.2 10 reg. Looking to get new headlight bulbs. This may sound like such a stupid question (it is😂) but does anyone know if the bulb is a 2pin or a 3pin. I've tried looking for it in the car manual but had no luck. I can obviously take the headlight out and check but I'm too lazy if I'm totally honest. I just want to buy the bulb and change it straight away. And any recommendations for the bulb light. Looking for something quite bright and powerful. White light as well. Any help is appreciated. If not, totally understandable 😂

Yes they are both on MW. The only time I am on either is when the football is on so I can listen to the commentery. What is DAB, and where can I buy it?

Meant to say on my dad's car.

Seems to be an issue with the radio. Some radio frequencys work but the ones I actually want ( Talksport and BBC radio 5live) don't work. I thought it might have been a location issue but the radio works with no issue. I don't seem to know what the problem is. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks

Yup. No temp guage. Just the red/blue engine coolant lights

Noted!

Thanks for that. I have been making the mistake of waiting for the light to go before i start driving. Will just drive as normal now. Cheers!

I won't be causing any trouble to the engine if I'm driving with the blue coolant light still on, would I?

So no problem will be caused to the engine if I drive immediately even when the engine is still cool? And thanks for the quick response!

I have a Skoda Fabia 1.2 HTP 10 reg by the way.

Hi all, Is there any way I can get rid of this blue engine light permanently.? I know that the engine is cool and hasn't reached the optimal temp. And once heated up the light does turn off. But is there anything I can do to stop this from happening at all or is it something that I just have to live with. On a normal day it usually takes 3.5 minutes for the light to go without actually driving ( yes I've timed it once lol) and this is when the temp is at around 10-15⁰C. I can only imagine it'll take a lot longer in the winter. And obviously when I do just drive straight away the light does disappear a lot quicker, but is that safe for the car and the engine? This is my first car so I would appreciate any advice/help you guys can give. Cheers

Hello everyone. Hope your all well. Got my first car a month ago. Skoda Fabia 1.2 HTP 10reg. Very pleased with it. Perfect first car, cheap to insure and runs very well. Does the job!
