Have a listen to this video below, Do you think it sounds similar? This was caused by a control arm bush, which i’ve also posted a picture of for you as it’s relatively easy to spot if it is this! filtered-924A91DB-D691-416B-BD17-26BB7982A28E.mp4

Interesting, there is a stalk with the ACC and Mode button! I did try look but couldn’t find one for the Fabia. Perhaps it will work then providing this stalk is fit

It should be possible through simple OBDEleven or VAGCOM Coding, although I cant guarantee it. I don't believe there is an indicator stalk available with both ACC and a MODE button to change the modes, and im not aware of the fabia dashboard being capable of doing this in its place. I can drop you the coding if you'd like, and you could see what it does, but there likely wouldnt be a way to change between the two modes - and it may just throw up errors.

best of luck! let me know if you need any help in the meantime

Left Cluster Daytime Running Light - 3SL VRB36 Right Cluster Daytime Running Light - 2SL VLB22 These are the channels you need for the DRL's. This is for UK Vehicles, Right hand drive. I am not sure if the adaptations change when the vehicle is Left Hand Drive, Although I imagine not. So looking at channel 2. Theres no way to adapt it as such to only work with ignition on, That would be a wire/power supply job not adaptations, however you can change the operation of the DRL, Say instead of being a DRL, To have it come on only when the headlights are on. To do this, It would simply be a case of 09 Central Electrics -> Adaptation -> Leuchte2SL VLB22 -> Light Function A2 from Tagfahrlicht to Abblendlicht Rechts. Essentially tells the module to tell on with the right low beam, not the "DRL". Now, There are 3 extra channels in the adaptation, Type Of Load 2, Lampendefektbit Position 2 and Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC 2. PERHAPS these may help in your quest to stop flickering from occuring, but i have no idea what the last two truly do. Do so at your own risk, and take backups! Type of Load 2 is most likely to hold your answers - This tells the car what type of lamp it is. Xenon, Halogen, LED, Wattage, Etc. Maybe by attempting to tell it its a different type of LED lamp, this will fix the issue. Again, Do so at your own risk. I hope this helps you in your quest, it does sound truly annoying!

I’d reccomend checking around different sites. skoda-parts.co.uk are good, better for when you live in europe. also got kopacek.com, even just ebay, or try find a breaking monte near you to rip parts from.

Its easy to change should you know how to not make an airbag explode. I did this myself when I retrofit cruise control myself. I still have my old indicator stalk should you need one - Its a non-cruise control stalk though so if your vehicle has that mine wouldnt do. To replace, remove airbag, take wheel off, remove clockspring, unscrew the stalk and pull it off. There are two tiny screws holding the stalk itself together. I made the error of thinking these held it in place, unscrewed them and almost made my stalk 100 different pieces.

Does the car start and drive okay? Typically SAFE is shown when the immoboliser isnt happy. Perhaps a fault, or an unauthorised key?? Is your EPC light showing when engine is lit, and does the key remote unlock work?

https://cardiagn.com/skoda-fabia-mk3-brake-systems/ Here you'll find the workshop manual for everything to do with the brake system on the Mk3. I used it to replace all my pads about a month ago, quite handy. Shows the torques you need, too.

ahhh I get you, Perhaps as you don’t use CC you’ll be getting great economy by “pulse & gliding” which is meant to be the most economical way to drive. I cant be arsed with that, Stick cruise control on and relax (sort of)

I do all these things! I run Unleaded 99, tyres at 34-35 PSI, and often on the 35 mile commute to from work i’ll sit with the cruise sat at 60!! Suppose, living up north our roads aren’t renowned for being dead flat.

very impressive mpg, ive never seen anywhere near that and im running the same car, model and engine xD. Highest ive achieved is 62mpg but I average 50 😞 whats your secret?!

Interesting to know for future, as I had issues with my car alarm going off at silly o clock in the morning. Thought it was thieves but set up a camera to watch it and, nothing. For me, replacing my car battery had fixed the issue as it was the same battery from factory so 6 yr old, but if it keeps going off again (as it did once a few months after changing the car battery, but not since) ill look into this.

i am… although i’ve been working 9 days on the trot. 2 days to go
