Quick update - it was the alternator! Replaced alternator, new belt = all working well!

@Warrior193 - yes the belt is tight and not slipping. Getting it replaced on Monday regardless with the alternator. Thanks for responding!

Yeah, shes had a baptism of fire! Didnt go down well when I got the phone call at midnight, and I was away with work! Got it booked into our local garage Monday, as I cant source a replacement locally & quickly, and I work away Mon-Fri. Oh the joys.....

Had my Ancell OBD on it this morning, it states there is a mechanical failure in the generator. Output at battery when running 12.06v. Looks like alternator is kaput!

Hi All, I've recently purchased a 69 plate Fabia 3, 1.0 MPI, for my daughter and last night the '12v Battery not charging' light came on and the car has gone into limp mode and stop/start is disabled. I purchased a new EFB battery today, (first part of the elimination process to the problem!), and installed it, but the warning stays in place. I understand from reading through this forum, that the ECU will require the battery coding, and found the relevant post that details how to do it. I have VCDS, release 21.3, and connected into the OBD port, as you do. Upon running auto scan, it comes up 'unsupported vehicle please upgrade to a current Ross Tech interface. My interface is a Hex V2, which according to Ross Techs forums is the correct type. The new battery sits at 12.55v, but when the engine is running, stays at about 12.09v, and my understanding is this should be over 14v. I will be checking the alternator output tomorrow but my main concern is that my VCDS isnt working? Anyone had anything similar?

Saga update...... Invested in VCDS - paid dividends! BCM - codes copied across - central locking etc all working. Fault codes 625 and 993 showing. TPMS - reset to factory defaults. Steering Angle Sensor mechanical malfunction - reset to factory defaults, after double checking angles and completing steering wheel turning either way twice routine. No codes showing on VCDS and no warning lights. Decent test run later to ensure all is hopefully good!

Tried the pairing procedure - dont work. Strange as it all works fine on the key.

Hi Guys, Quick update; Replaced BCM with 2nd hand one, exactly same part number. Replaced 3 month old battery with brand new one. Replaced starter switch. Car starts on the button, left overnight with battery connected no drain, car started. Fault codes showing: sterring angle sensor, TCM and media system? Completed manual reset of steering, turning left/right, and reset fault codes. TCM and media still showing? Also since changing BCM, the remote central locking doesnt work, but all locks lock from drivers door. Does the BCM require coding? Few more checks then the big dash reassembly begins!

NVM - different size and layout - probably wont fit! :(

Slightly different number, but has 2 additional pins on top right to mine - would this matter? Do these need to be coded to the car also?

Definately wont come apart without breaking it - tried everything

cant seem to find a match online, neither...:( Similar numbers, but the last letter being an M or H Part number: 6R7 937 087 R

Clips on side may undo, but seems to be held by these pins🤷‍♂️

The car that keeps on giving! Battery fully charged, connected to car, hazard lights flashing, Hazard lights switch disconnected and all 645 relays removed, BCM clicking away; is the BCM gone?
