  1. I thought I would use my bank holiday to have another go at fixing my control module issue. The module seems to be in the correct position but it wont clip in. See video here.. https://youtu.be/IE5NAaIqxoE?feature=shared Has anyone got a Roomster or a mk2 Fabia and can share a photo or video to show how this module is oriented and the positioning of the cabling?
  2. Seems like I didn’t clip it in properly as the mechanic recently noticed it was still loose. https://imgur.com/a/DU5xYxT from this video (see link), is the control module the correct orientation? If so I will try again to clip it in to place.
  3. Our beloved Roomster just failed its MOT because the seat belt doesn't retract properly. I can see that the part is on ebay for £38 and I am tempted to have a go at fitting it myself at the weekend. Does anyone know how difficult it is to replace that part? I am assuming I will have to disassemble the inner panels in the boot but have never taken them off before.
  4. I wish I had read this post more carefully. Sliding the seat forwards is the key as it revealed the catches which I opened very easily with a screw driver.
  5. I have the same exact problem. I found a piece of broken metal in the boot and the seat won’t release. See photo I have been wrestling with a screwdriver and spanner to release the latch or undo the nut. Neither approach is working unfortunately
  6. A while back, a garage did some electrical diagnostic work and when I went to collect the car it hadn't been put back together properly. The garage had amazing google reviews but the work was very poor. Lesson learned. Door trim was half off and the control module was not properly fitted. See photo attached. I've had a look on youtube for something that covers fitting this, but have had no luck. Also I'm not sure which screws I are missing.
  7. I am thinking of replacing the loom in the driver side door as a couple of wires are broken and I’m expecting probably more down the road. From Reading other posts I can see that taking off the door card, I can find the part number for the wiring loom. However, other users have said that pop rivets and or clips are also necessary to be replaced. How do I find which ones to buy? I have been looking on Skoda – parts.com, and I’m not completely confident that I’ve ordered the right clips and rivets or the right quantity. See my shopping basket attached. also, a garage lost the screws/clips for the electrical module above the pedals, and kept coming down. I’d like to get replacements for those too. how do I make sure I get the right bits? is there an online alternative to the Haynes manual, or should I get the actual Haynes manual or something else?
  8. I'm finally getting round to sorting out this electric window issue. Would the following be a compatible with a roomster? https://cars245.co.uk/item/audi-volkswagen-6Y1959801VW4-motor/
  9. I'm thinking of buying this one - does it seem compatible with my Roomster (56 plate)? thanks https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165055944605?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l3160&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=78e6a17ca85e4407962d78240c52ee0b&bu=43122934893&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20210906030734&segname=11021&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cut%3Dut%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid
  10. I found a Mk I Fabia window motor module on ebay for £80 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334091736992?hash=item4dc96b57a0:g:qREAAOSwx1NhABdg Is this part compatible with a Roomster 2006/7?
  11. I'm seeing 6Y1959801 parts from Polos and Beetles etc, - will these work? Or does it need to come from a roomster or fabia?
  12. Is there a youtube video of how to replace the window motor module?
  13. Thanks! Fuse 11 is good. I just got the electric windows working by taking out some of the fuses in a particular order as follows. Take out fuses 51 and 52 Put them both back in again Tried windows but no luck Then take out fuses 51 and 52 again Put back in just fuse 52 and passenger side window works (but only with the switch on that side) Put back in fuse 51 and both windows working again. I did this trick just a few days ago when the windows got stuck down. The following day I think I repeated the same steps but no luck, but today it got them working again. Does any of that shed any light? I'm in N London

  15. So I have a Roomster (56 plate) which I have owned for 4 years. About 2 years ago both the electric windows stopped working (the rear windows are mechanical). A few days later they both started working again. This went on like this with them both not working and then both working again for several months. I thought that it was related to the moisture levels in the car because there was always condensation on the inside of the windows. Eventually I took the car to garage 1 and they said they needed to replace a wire in the driver door and so I paid them £140 for that. A few months later and the problem came back but because of covid I wasn't able to take it in. 6 months later I went to a second garage for a service and asked about the windows - they said the entire loom needed replacing - costing £400. I rang a third mechanic who owns a Fabia and asked what he thought. He was convinced it wouldn't be the loom as he said those looms last for years. He needed to have a look to know more but he is a bit of a distance away so I thought I would try someone nearer. Then today I went to a 4th mechanic who specialises in electrical repairs. £30 later he said the diagnostics showed that it was the body control module and to put in a second hand one would cost £240. He said there were no error codes coming from the module even though the windows were not working. I asked him if looms break often and he said they break all the time. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? This is doing my head in :-)
