Crucian

Polybush units fitted (it's highlighted I need to treat the surface rust on the sub frames), d/s old one was well worn (You can't see in situ the wear for the plastic shields/spacers)

Hello and welcome Any additional info ?

As you say "use them" Simply apply the brakes with pressure as you approach your final destination in the last say 1/2 mile

+1 for dry them before parking up

I've decided to go Powerflex (easier to install than OEM) Getting fitted this coming Friday

On my fabia I had to un rivet the front door speakers, remove them, install rivnuts in the rivet holes, re seal (tiger seal) and refit the speakers. this solved the issue for me

My 2014 fabia 1.4 stage 1 vrs (200 bhp) is extremely sensitive to wearing /worn plugs, I have taken to renewing plugs every 12 months to avoid taking out a coil

Don't skimp on maintenance

I can get 40 mpg utilising lift and coast and free wheeling when safe to do so, cruise control does not get anywhere near these figures (2014 Fabia 1.4 tsi VRS) it will be helped as I use 99 ron fuel If I drive in a spirited manor I can get it circa 17mpg 😅

Rivets drilled out, anti corrosion paint applied and appropriate self tappers used. You can private message via this forum. There's no further info I can give

@Brad8888 Yes it completely resolved the issue 👍

Welcome, loads of good knowledge on the forums

Hi all, 2014 fabia vrs. Starting to get together the parts needed to change my rear sub frame bushes (see image below) is there anything else I should look at / change while doing the work (new shocks and springs done last year) Ay assistance welcomed

Hello and welcome, plenty of learned members on the forums to assist 🙂

As the title. After all the wet salty roads I'll be cleaning the underside of my Fabia in the spring, what is the best dry lubricant I can spray on the handbrake cables and linkages ? I don't want a grease as it holds grit etc Any recommendations welcomed

@markob Thanks for the resolution feedback

Good information thanks

Hello and welcome, I run a 2014 fabia, There's plenty of knowledgeable people on the forums

Just driven the same route taking the grandkids home, they seem to have been resolved 🙂

In the space of a 3 mile drive there were 2 disabled EVs in the road 1 a 2025 big jag suv and the other some sort of BYD. External temps are 1.5 degrees so I'm assuming the drivers had been caught out by the drastic range reduction in cold weather, the Jag was being assisted by a "Roadvolt" van as I passed it on the return trip. Hope they get sorted before it gets and colder / dark

Err give it a good tug !! (the ashtray) hopefully the previous owner didn't glue it in.

Hi and welcome, Plenty of knowledgeable people on these forums

I now have a groan on d/s rear suspension when negotiating speed bumps, is the solution as simple as lubricating the upper and lower mounting (shocks etc are only 18 months old) ?

Anyone use a decent WIFI/Bluetooth battery monitor (20m range) On these long winter nights I like to monitor both vehicle batteries and my shed solar battery, I have tried some cheapy units but they only have 5m range so I'm unable to monitor remotely from indoors
