Cheers. Found it. Sounds like kermit the frog on speed. 😄 The Autophix def looks good 👍

Couple of dash lights had come on but seem to have cleared. And I've just done a 500 mile journey over 2 days with no problem so I will go ahead with buying the tool, see if anything comes up and then I might be in a position, (also in future), to just 'tell' the mechanic what's wrong and not have to pay an extra 50 for initial diagnosis hook up. Or maybe that's just in my dream world... 🤪 Off topic i know but... initial (failed) attempt by laptop to upload windows 11 caused the battery to stop charging, so I can't use it without the charging lead now 😠

Thank you very much. I see what you mean now. 👌 (Am avidly avoiding windows11 even though they keep trying to force it on me.) Yeah i saw that one on Ebay. Think I'll give it a go rather than 50 quid for the mechanic to diagnose. 🤔 Thanks again. 🙏

Thanks nta16. Not sure what you mean by check the program for your car make, model and year is correct and up to date? 🤔

Hello I'm looking to buy an OBD Tool. Tried to do a search on here but couldn't find anything specific 😬 Fabia 1.2 2015 Preferably under 35 quid... Many thanks

Soooo I finally got out to put the charger on to see what numbers came up. It said 12.4v 2a On a quick Googling.. it looks like this is low? Driving today, no battery light coming up but then suddenly a flashing battery light, then nothing. So am I correct in thinking... Remove the battery and slow charge it? Or might it be a computer glitch? 😬 Or other? 🙏

Morning 🌻 So the log book says registered jan 2015. But also says Type: 5J I would've said it looks like the first pic, but prob best to not go by that anyway as i had the 2006 one for 10 years and it's prob that stuck in my memory. I will try to test the battery charge today 🤔 Thanks for all input so far 🙏

That's no way to talk about your child 😁 Yeah i noticed in my profile it still had my beloved 2006. That was 2 fabias ago 🫤 Wrote off a monte carlo in the snow last January 😭 This one is a workhorse for now. 64 reg but 2015 🤷🏻‍♀️ Failing memory and befuddled mind...we must be related! 😃 🙏

How do you know it's a Mkii?? Embarrassed to say...I don't even know 😅

Hellooo I have intermittent battery and windscreen washer light coming up on dash. I filled the reservoir and cleaned and dried the negative battery terminal (the pos looked ok (and my hands were cold 😬)). Previously, it was on really dimly. Tonight (after cleaning etc) it only came on when I put the headlights on. I don't think it's the alternator, otherwise why would the windscreen washer light also be coming on 🤔 Would appreciate advice from those in the know 🙂 Thanks in advance 🙏

Thanks. It's not the sound you get at steering lock left or right. I didn't explain it properly on my first post 🙄... I tested it driving in a circle (but not fully turning the wheel). It's like a honing noise. The steering is quite soft, so doubtful that it's fluid related but I'll live with it for now as, from the replies, it doesn't sound like something to worry about. Many thanks all for the advice/ info 🙏

Thanks very much Mike... that all makes perfect sense. 🤔 It doesn't sound like the noise that's made when you turn the wheel to its limit. It's different. But it could still be the cause/ problem. And that would probably make sense in terms of it not being a problem that 'must' be fixed. Thank you muchly 🙏

Yeah, I think it's electronic, so can't check fluid 🤷‍♀️

Hi Recently bought a 2014 Fabia. Need to diagnose steering noise problem before the warranty is up. The mechanic says it might just be one of those things you have to live with 🙄 It's a whining noise, but not high pitched. Can only hear it at slower speed, turning sharp right or left (like when pulling into a parking space). Seems to be getting louder as time goes on. Any thoughts?

In the usb preferences, it just stays on "this device". It won't change to connected device. 🤷‍♀️ I tried my phone and an ipod touch. I've read that it might work with a usb stick but I think I'm gonna return it. 🫤 So will an aux cable work with both phone and iPod? Thanks for your help 🙏
