  1. Hi All My wife drives a Fabia Mk3 2017 which she brought from new. Just before Christmas, the head unit developed a fault where it would switch on, load the splash screen and then reboot and stick in this cycle. We have taken it back to the garage we purchased it from and they charged us to take a look to see what was going on and they informed us that they don't know why it's not working but suspect that a module is not talking to the screen. They disconnected the battery for a short period to see if this would resolve the issue, but it hasn't. They also said that for some reason we have the wrong stereo as it says VRS on the splash screen. They have told us they need to do a further investigation at a cost but it is looking at around £1200 to replace the module which is outrageous. I have searched on google and done things like switching it on holding buttons, I've even disconnected the battery for 2x days (now it just switches on, splash screen, and then shuts off). I've noticed a topic on here about a software update, however, the garage said it doesn't need one. The car is now out of warranty, but in my eyes, as this is electrical it should be covered by the 6-year warranty. So my question is to you all, has anyone had this issue before, and can anyone suggest anything we can do to avoid the cost of repair. I mean, buying a BT speaker is a far cheaper option lol Thanks in advanced
