Pie Eater

Cheers, I might try that, slightly classier than strapping a torch to her head !

I have never soldered LEDs, I'm guessing it's a bit fiddly ? Perhaps I'll buy Mrs Pie Eater a torch.

Evenin, Has been raining cats and dogs and no leak ! Thanks for the heads up on the drain plugs. keep looking Fabia 1.4, the one on the left as you look in to the engine bay sits flush against the bulkhead, I couldn't see it and only found it by feeling and poking around for a bit. I,ve just found the other one, it is a short (about 5cms) wide rubber tube with a flap at the bottom tucked up in the right hand corner of the engine bay. Thanks Y'all

Evenin, The current Mrs Pie Eater has discovered that her x reg Fabia 1.4 comforts speedo is only half lit up, the offideside is dark???. Can anybody out there............wait for it throw some light on the problem !!! But seriously, is it something an enthusiastic amateur should be attempting? Cheers, Pie Eater :confused:

Brilliant! Top tip ! Found a drain hole covered with a rubber flap behind and below the air filter, poked my finger in (Ooooh Matron!) and a load of leaves and about half a litre of water poured out. Really hope this fixes it. Will let you know..................wish I hadn't taken out the glove box now. Cheers

Thanks for all the tips, I,ll try them all out tomorrow and let you know. Cheers,

Hi, Newbie Here, I drive a 'y' reg Octavia Estate 1.9tdi and discovered this forum a couple of weeks ago when I experienced a loss of power. After googling and reading up on people who had similar problems I replaced the mass air meter and realised just how much power had drifted away, it,s like driving a new car. After that success I am now trying to sort out a problem with my wifes car! My wife has had her new 'X' reg Fabia 1.4mpi for 3 weeks and has just discovered that the front passenger footwell carpet is soaking wet. I removed the glove box then poured water over the windscreen, after approx 30-45 secs a substantial amount of water began to drip from the bottom of the black plastic housing that I assume covers a fan ? I then tried to remove the wiper arms so that I could have a butchers under the plastic cover; I have got the nuts off but I cannot shift the wiper arms! I,m not paticularly handy under the bonnet but i like to have a go. Can anybody help me with the following:- Am I on the right track? If so, How on earth do the wiper arms come off (am i just being a bit weedy with them?) If not, can you point me in the right direction. Cheers, Pie Eater
