Good day all :) I have a bit of a weird one - I have been noticing that when on the highway, the passenger side (RHS for us in CZ) tweeter makes almost like a static noise. I am pretty sure it is not related to the engine's RPM because if I rev the car at slower speeds I don't notice anything, and if on the highway I put it in neutral or hold the clutch and let go of the throttle for the RPMs to drop the noise stays there. Any ideas what it could be? I am suspecting maybe an airleak somewhere - but have you had any such experience and is there something to look out for? P.S. I am not 100% it is the tweeter, it could be the door speaker, but since I am almost always on my own on the front (wife sits with the baby at the back), it is hard to identify the exact source. Thanks

I worked it out using the mini fuse for the actuator module of the right LED headlight :)

UPDATE : With the multimeter I tracked which fuses are switched, and unfortunately most of the few I found switched are too tight to fit a piggy back. In the end I used the F36 mini fuse which is the Actuator module 1 for right LED headlight. I will wait a couple of days to see if it generates any fault codes or errors in the headlight unit, or drains the battery. So far it seems like it works fine.

Hey! I want to see which mini fuse is switched on the O3 - https://www.startmycar.com/skoda/octavia/info/fusebox/2019/gen-mk3#anchorfusebox1 Any ideas? I am trying to install a dash cam and every mini fuse I have tried seems to be live. The piggyback fuse I have is the mini one, and cannot find to buy the standard size piggyback fuse locally, so if I can get away with the mini one it would be better. Cheers :)

Oh great this is very informative, thank you!

I know I am bringing up this very old post, but do you remember the coding involved? Is it possible through OBDeleven, or only VCDS? Thanks :)

It is my understanding that those are meant to be on the outside (I have them OEM) not inside the armrest. I mean, it is a great idea if I can have hidden USB in the armrest and charge the phone in there, but honestly I have zero ideaon how I would get wiring in there without drilling

I already have those - but I would like the additional one at the front so I don't have cables running around.

Exxactly - and I am not willing to try and experiment with my own ones, if I ruin one I will end up with nothing. I think the best solution I have found is to buy a whole centre console (relatively cheap at around 15eur, but expensive if you consider you want just one blank) Yes, the OEM USB port will be used for the AAwireless dongle.

Hey all! I just bought an Octavia 3 Combi, 2017, L&K, 2.0TDi 4x4, manual. I will be using the USB port for the AAwireless dongle with the Columbus, and need an additional couple of USB ports just to charge the phones. I love to keep my cars with a clean OEM look and to avoid having a usb hub in the 12v socket, I was wondering if anyone has had any success fitting USB ports into the blanks in the centre console as in the image attached below to get something as in this link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010160330751.html?algo_pvid=16b1b889-e355-4daa-9ffa-89b102eb7401&algo_exp_id=16b1b889-e355-4daa-9ffa-89b102eb7401-18&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%2242%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%2C%22fromPage%22%3A%22search%22%7D&pdp_npi=6%40dis%21CZK%21355.76%2139.32%21%21%21116.16%2112.84%21%40211b618e17690739293681325e05b0%2112000051361050131%21sea%21CZ%210%21ABX%211%210%21n_tag%3A-29910%3Bd%3A1c38682e%3Bm03_new_user%3A-29895%3BpisId%3A5000000197856239&curPageLogUid=Jih1029bpazt&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A%7Cx_object_id%3A1005010160330751%7C_p_origin_prod%3A I don't want to ruin one of the blanks, so ideally I would also like to buy a couple to test on, but cannot seem to find any for sale. Any help? Thanks! Daniel

I am eyeing the Octavia as in the title, can anyone give me some suggestions on what to look out for, and if you have any experiences with the same spec? The car has 122,000km, categorised as "Perfect" by an authorised Škoda service shop/reseller, 1 owner from new, bought locally. Only thing I would like it to have, which is missing, is the auxiliary heating. Another question - from the photos of the dealer, the car has Android Auto/Carplay/Mirror link with USB only - I think the unit is an MIB 3 Amundsen? Can the wireless smartlink be unlocked? Cheers :)

Thanks :D

We decided to go with the Nuna Pipa Urbn in the end - saves us a base as it connects directly to the ISOFix and should fit the Fabia well. The dealer we visited told us the same thing yours did, and he also mentioned Britax as one of the very few brands that fit the Fabia well since they can counter the seat tilt by tilting the car seat in the base. In the end went with the Nuna for the high safety rating (one of the best out there according to the likes of ADAC) and simplicity, saves us from buying a base and the hassle of removing it everytime (would be a bit hesitant leaving it in the car long periods unattended if someone with sticky fingers spots it) and saves us a bit of cash too, without giving up on safety which is the number 1 factor for us.

Hey thanks for the reply. Apologies for the delay as well. Yes the seat base should have that leg. Joey, as far as I know are the sister brand of Nuna - and on this particular base the Fabia estate from 2008 onwards is ticked green. My bet would be it should work fine, because what sense does it make that the manufacturer says it should work well with our car, and then you get it online only to find out it does not - or if it does the baby risks choking due to the tilt...

Good day all! My wife and I are expecting a baby, and started looking at car seats. We were looking at Nuna car seats (Specifically the Nuna PIPA Next) but the dealer told us that the Fabia is not compatible with ISOFix bases (for most brands) since the seat platform tilt is quite pronounced. They recommended us a car seat with built in ISOFix attachment (also from Nuna, so quality is not an issue as such). We would like to be able to have the 360 base feature though because it can make life much easier. We are not in a position to just buy a new car at the moment since we might have to relocate in a few months. On the user manual of the Nuna Pipa it shows that with the Base Next isofix base it is compatible. See image below. My question to you guys/gals is, have you used an ISOFix base in your Fabia II (ideally Combi like ours)? Have you had any issues with the position of the baby? Would love to hear some input! Thank you:) Cheers! Daniel
