Hi It's a Fabia 1.2 HTP. 55,000 miles I have owned it 1.5 years. I don't think it's ever had an oil filter, spark plug change since in my ownership. It's been serviced and MOT once. I wouldn't know how to test the coolant. Do you think I need to go to a garage?

Hi all, Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to figure out if my car needed coolant or oil. After reading the handbook it doenst need either. The problem - which seems a common one, is that the exhaust symbol has turned to amber. No idea why. 6 months ago I had the same symbol go amber constantly. I took it to a diagnostics garage who said it was something to do with sensors that regulate fuel /exhaust. No idea. They replaced them and exhaust amber light went out. Now the problem has come back and I'm worried I paid a load of cash that didn't solve the whole problem. ☹️

Hi, is there anywhere it says which coolant and oil to use? I bought the car secondhand and don't have the owners manual ☹️

Hi mrgf, Thanks for your message. No I haven't sorted out the bits that have snapped off yet. The problem is not the cord or attachments either end of the cord that lifts the parcel shelf. These are fine. It's the 2 protruding plastic round peg /dowel shapes that stick out from the side of car boots plastic bodywork (left and right) which the slotted part of the parcel shelf rests on. These 'pegs' are a continuous part of the plastic bodywork and not separate components. Both pegs have completely snapped off of the plastic bodywork leaving 2 holes in the sides of the carboot bodywork. I was going to take it to the car bodyshop to see if they have any lugs that would fit into the holes - but would welcome any suggestions for replacement parts that might work. Thanks, Feebs

Thanks. I think these boot panels cost about £30 on ebay - but I will get my garage to double check the model numbers.

How do I find the part number of the driver side and passenger side boot panels?

The garage that sold this to me had the boot open and the tray was in position when I first viewed the car. I now know it was so I would not open and close the boot myself.....which I should have done anyway - but just assumed (wrongly). I have 3 month warranty - but reading through it, it says wear and tear not included. I think it's a waste of breath complaining to the garage, but I'm wondering if there is something I can do to alert other buyers about shady salesmen.

The damage wasn't disclosed when I purchased the car, and it is still under warranty, so I would look at trying to get the side panels replaced and get the car garage to pay. Do you know what these side parts are called?

Hi If this isn't the right place to ask this question - can someone let me know where I should post my question please. I just bought a Skoda Fabia 2009 second hand, and I'm finding issues with the condition. The parcel shelf in the boot doesn't stay on its left / right hinges because both pegs that slot into the shelf have snapped off - as in photos attached. These plastic pegs were part of the inside right and left boot body which now have holes in them. Does anyone know what my options are to get this repaired? I'm thinking, replace the right and left plastic interior body of the boot but seems expensive. Or find some pegs that fit into these holes - but will look naf and not sure how long it would last. Any advice appreciated.
