The replacement has lower milage then the original. Seems really odd Skoda couldn't resolve this.

So a new instrument cluster was bought, fully functioning. However when given to Skoda workshop they called back saying they're unable to reprogram it. Apperanetly due to the diffence in odometer from New to old. If it differs too much they're locked out. Any ideas?

Yes I tried hitting it but no success.

Could it possibly have something to do with the blinker stick having some errors? I have a fault where the cruise control only can be activated when indicating right, LHD car. Could it be some issue where the cables or connections inside?

It looks like the route I have to take is buying a new cluster and dealer programming it. Is there any way I can troubleshoot this further? Wouldn't want to spend all this money and have it be for nothing. Could the problem lie elsewhere?

It's a Skoda Fabia from 2009, 1.4liter engine. 86hp petrol

Thanks, Would replacing the entire thing work? Or is it the wiring and connector that could have issues as well?

Thanks I'll give it a try! How would I go about fixing this? It needs to be resolved for car inspection

Hello! I have an issue with the high beam indicator that pops up in the dash, the blue one we all recognize. It doesn't come on when i use my high beams. Not even when they're fully activated or the single use action. All the other lights in the dashboard works, headlights, fog light front and back ETC. Just the high beam doesn't show. The high beams work normal, they light up and everything. Any ideas? The car failed inspection due to this.

So I'm needing to fix the live wire for an aftermarket stereo. Does anyone have recommendation for which fuse to tap into? I'll be using a fuse bypass, attached below. Also fuse diagram attached below.

Still no luck with the dance radio. And costs of another dance radio + dealership coding is not something I'm looking forward to. Does anyone have good recommendations on aftermarket alternative? Just something that can connect with wiring easily and fit into the frame neatly. Doesn't matter if double din or single and all the fancy features. Just something that works. It's a regular Skoda Fabia.

Alright thanks for the info! I'm from Sweden so I'll have a chat with the Skoda dealership and hear what they have to say. Is the radio code stored separately from the unit or is there a way to get a hold of this if buying a 2nd hand one from scrapped cars etc.

I've disconnected the battery, waited a while and connected it again, still no suvess. Will remove the whole radio unit and try that also. Regarding replacing the radio unit with another DANCE model, 2nd hand. Would this be easy like plug and play or how does it work with the radio codes? Are the codes unique to the specific unit or?

Hello, I have a Skoda Fabia from 2009. Today the radio system stopped working. I am able to turn it on and off by pushing the volume button. But I can not choose any radio stations or adjust the volume. There is no sound coming at all. And when I turn the headlights on, the radio screen does not go green and bright, it just stays dark and frozen. Any suggestions for a solution? I have checked fuses 19 for radio and 50 for radio but both are good.

They've been checked and are seated properly, unfortunately.

Hello! I own a Skoda Fabia from 2010 with the module halogen headlights. As of recent both headlights have started to get condensation inside and takes a while to go away by having the lights on and temperature going up. Any solution to this problem? I've checked the seals on blinkers, parking light and headlight and they all seem to fit as they should.

Correct it's the v line version, not sure about the differences but don't think its any worse. Alright thanks, I rechecked the spark plugs without a torque wrench and can state that tightening them any more would be problematic.

Hello, Ive torqued them to 25nm. Is it enough?

Hello! I recently bought a Skoda Fabia 2009 Mk II with the 1.4l petrol engine. Engine code BXW. I'm planning to do some general maintenance, including changing the 4 spark plugs. I've bought the NGK 97237. And my question is: How much NM in torque should these be tightened to? 25nm? 30nm? Much thanks!
