Yes, there is a purple plastic locking mechanism, but that could have been a great solution. Unfortunately, it seems to prevent pin insertion as well.

I tried to do as you told me but without success. I don't know why, but I can't get it to lock into the plug and I don't want to break the cable. I will have some free time next week to try to remove the plug, it will be harder that way but I think it is the safest solution.

Ok so T11b/6 the correct one for my car, and I'll have to connect the red wire to any wire with a terminal 15 ignition switched feed. I got a better picture of the red plug. Since I can't clearly see from this picture, I guess that pin 6 would be the one I circled in white ? Now I need to find a way to remove the plug, it's really hard to do anything because of where they are located. Is there a way to remove the relay holder to have a better access to these plugs ? Or any other way ?

Hi, I bought a cruise control retrofit kit, part number BEA 400 002 to install in my Fabia. Everything is installed and I now have to connect the wires for the cruise control. My issue is that I don't know where to plug the cables. I have a red one and a black one with a pin at the end. The manual says to connect the black wire to the T11a / PIN 10, and the red wire to the "terminal +15". From what I've read it should be a white socket on the cross wall, but pin 10 of my white socket is already busy. I read that it could be PIN 6 on the red plug, but I have no idea. I'll take better pictures tomorow of the plugs that I have. These are the plugs located behind the instrument cluster. And this is the wiring loom that I got. Thanks.

Yes in the end I think it would be easier to put a set of coilovers, I saw some of them for 250ish euros on ebay. Don’t know why I havent looked at this possibility before. I had in mind that coilovers were not confortable. I guess it can’t be worse than lowered springs on sport shocks, since I don’t want to lower it that much. For a full replacement with shocks, springs and everything it was around 400€, and that was with « basic » parts. So it may even be cheaper that way.

Yes I also think that it can be something with the settings of the shocks. And yes of course I would go for new shocks, mine are the stock ones and I don't think it would be safe to ride with worn stock shocks with lowered springs. So one option would be to install sport shocks with shorter springs.

I know a shorter spring will lower the car, my question was more about the compression of the different springs, if there is a difference. I guess a stiffer spring will compress less than a looser spring? I'm not sure if it's a thing with OEM springs like comparing the VRS ones with the standard ones. Didn't knew about the shorter drop links, it says they are needed for a drop of 40mm and over. I kept it anyway in case I need it. Thank you. The shocks do have a different part number between the sport suspension and the standard suspension, but I have seen replacement shocks listed as "compatible" with the suffixes BH, BJ (standard) and BL (sport). I don't know if there is a physical difference between these parts. I'd like to even out the gap all around the rim in the wheel arch, I measured about 6cm on the sides and 9-10cm above the rim on my car. Something like you have on the front of your VRS @DieselMonte would be perfect for me. In any case, thank you all for your responses.

Hi, I would like to lower my 1.2 Fabia by 30mm at the front and rear. After looking at the specs of the springs fitted to my car, it looks like they are around 350mm at the front (6Q0411105AE) and around 340mm at the rear (6Q0511115K). From what I found, it looks like the shocks are the same reference for both standard and sport suspension, but the springs are different. The "sport suspension" springs are about 30mm shorter than mine according to the specs I found on internet. So my question is, have I done my homework correctly and are the springs fitted on vehicle with the sport suspension compatible with my shocks ? And if they are, will the "sport suspension" springs really lower the car ? Thank you.

So a little more information on what I did to the car, especially the wheels. I took some pictures of the alloy renovation I did this summer. It cost me 90 € for the materials, and a lot of patience. They were primed using Motif grey primer, painted with Motip 55240 silver paint and covered with Motip 1K matt clear coat. Here is the before and after, and a link to all the photos I took, with some more informations on the process. No problem at all for the moment, the paint did not fall off or peel even when pressure washing them or using chemicals. I will probably redo them later but this time in a gloss or satin finish.

Ahah, yes I think she wouldn't be too happy if I stole the wiring from her new car. But if it was the same wiring, I could replicate it in my car.

Unfortunately yes, it was the same story for my rear speakers, I had to use my own wiring from the head unit to the rear deck. My mom just bought a 2012 MK2 Fabia, and it has the electric mirrors. But I don't know if they use the same wiring as in the MK1.

Yes that's also what I thought, I think that none of the wiring is there if the option wasn't there from the factory. I don't necessarily need them, but they would have been useful for the winter. It was just an idea of something I could add if it's not too complicated or expensive to do. If you have the wiring diagram for the mirror, I would like to get it if you don't mind @Wino.

Cabin fuse position 38 has 0 contacts installed.

On the data sticker inside the trunk it says 17-5-2059. I don't know if it could help you know the date of manufacture. Pickup date from dealership is 24-5-2006.

Flat ground is great for fuel economy, I managed to get 6.5L/100km in town when driving slowly. I saw your Fabia with the new windscreen, it looks really good !
