Hi. Had noticed that brake servo pipe did have a split in it, which I taped up as a temporary measure. As far as I can tell can't see how it would still be leaking. But before doing any thing more will get new servo pipe. Can vacuum pipe, which can be brought on ebay for a good price, be used. As getting it from Skoda is very expensive for what it is. Many thanks.

Hi. Brake light switch change seems to have addressed the issues that I was having. See above. As have done quite a few miles without problems. Now noticed that sometimes if car is put into neutral when slowing, revs fluctuate before settling. Have had this issue on occasions for quite a while. Did diagnostic test and code for engine speed sensor showed. Wasn't showing when had trouble with brake switch. Maybe that fault code was masking it? Has anybody an idea of where this sensor can be located on a Skoda Fabia HTP 2007, and is it hard to change Many thanks.

Hi. Fitted new brake switch and I think that it may have worked. Have driven about 45 miles and in this time have put the interior fan on numerous times to test whether it still starts the issue to occur. Twice when I did this there was a very slight hesitation, which hopefully is just a blip. Time will tell. If the problem resurfaces I will fit a new throttle body. Can anybody recommend a good mid range diagnostic code reading scanner that also adapts throttle bodys on a Fabia. Thanks for your input guys.

Hi. Have used an OBD2 scanner and a fault code for the brake switch comes up. Have read that this can cause the EPC light to come on, also that it can cause throttle body problems as it's linked to the ECU unit. Will replace this switch first. One nevers knows it may do the job, worth a try as it only cost about £12. If problem persist will fit new throttle body. Many thanks for your replys.

Hi Alasdair. Wiring from, to ecu unit looks OK. There are 4 brown wires that are near the ecu unit that are grounded. All are secure and clean. I also secured ecu unit. The only thing I can think to do now is put a new throttle body on because of initial mention made by RAC man, and they also mentioned the throttle body in the garage where I had a diagnostic test done. I'm not convinced that this is the issue though. Any further ideas before I replace the throttle body? Kind regards.

Hi Alasdair. Thanks for the reply. Have checked negative lead from battery to bodywork and also under battery tray. Both fine. Will look into lead from ECU unit. Did notice that ECU unit is a little lose where it is located, due to plastic locating tabe being broken. Could this cause a problem? Thanks.

Help!! Not sure if I'm posting this in the correct website section, but here goes. Model: Skoda Fabia, petrol, HTP, 1200cc, 2007. When driving put interior fan on and car losses power, EPC light comes on. Turn fan off, problem remains and EPC light stays on. After resting car for period of time issue goes, light off. The interior fan seems to start issue. Battery, alternator been tested, both OK. Went to garage, who did diagnostic test, couldn't find anything, but said something about throttle body voltage drop. RAC man also mentioned throttle body needs cleaning, when I originally broke down. Have removed, and cleaned. Am not convinced that it is this. Any ideas? Many, thanks. PS: After replacing and inspecting throttle body, still have issue.

Thanks for the reply. I will try to isolate the door. Kind regards.

Thanks for the reply. No my fabia hasn't got this feature. As suggested above I need to check connections, but like you say there is a chance its a faulty door sensor. Kind regards.

Thanks for the ideas. I will start to go through them and will post the outcome. The doors can be locked/unlocked from inside by a button that sits in front of the gear lever. Like you suggested I will check connections. I have noticed that when I unlocked the car there is a slight delay in the passenger door unlocking. I think that this will be my first door wiring to check. Kind regards.

Hi all. I have a Skoda Fabia, 1200cc, 2007 model. Problem, central locking activates by itself, locks/unlocks, whilst driving. Also does it when parked. Fault is intermittent. Have changed key fob battery. Any suggestions please. Kind regards.

Hi all. Anyone suggestions please. I have a Skoda Fabia, 1200cc, 2007 model. Problem. Sometimes when driving central locking functions of it own accord. This can happen when parked as well. Fault is intermittent. Have replace battery in fob. Hopefully I have posted in correct part of website. Regards.

Hi.

Hi. Thanks for the reply, also apologies for the late answer. Lifted rear bench seat and took photo. Please see attached. It looks like the big round plastic cover is for the fuel tank, which sits below it. Not sure about the two outer lines. They look like two tubes rather than wiring. Hopefully you can have an idea by looking at the photo. Kind regards.

Hi. Have been trying in vain to locate alarm on car. Have tried inside/offside wheel arch, etc. Have been having problems with alarm system. Many thanks.
