It's funny as alot of people say the skoda is the budget vag. I'm sure the polo has alot more sound deadening and effort put into nvh but so far the fabia is a fine little car.

But it gets the wife's approval it's hopefully going to be cheap to run and plenty of parts to get it how I want. I definitely want to change the steering wheel to a leather one including the gear knob and handbrake lever as they feel really cheap. I had Leon fr diesel a few years ago and that was a torque monster I had it mapped and was a nightmare in the wet. But it started to develop lots of faults, the central locking started playing up and the wiring behind the dash failed which cost me £600 to fix as I thought it was an imobiliser fault. So after that it had to go so this is my first foray back into the vag world since.

A nice install I just brought mine up in the corner it's hidden behind my phone holder. Also I installed my dashcam but I can't hide it behind the rear view mirror in this car as its so tiny lol.

Oh very nice I thought they were all red I haven't see many vrs interiors for sale I must be confusing the monte carlo ones. Ahh OK I'll give those settings a try.

I have already fitted the auto light switch can't say I'm massively impressed with it but it does work, Sensitivity seems to be quite low. Yes led interior light would be a big help the standard one it's quite dim. Yes the standard seats are quite flat but the car is just a work mule on mainly A roads so not much chance of having fun lol. Still not a fan of the red tho I'd have the mk1 vrs seats but I doubt they fit and apparently the white is a pain to keep clean.

Ahh that's a shame as they do look similar. Not a fan of the red on the monte carlo or vrs seats. So looks like I'll be keeping the current ones.

I still have a slight running issue a lumpy idle and rpm drops @ 3000 rpm. So if that doesn't cost too much I may be getting a new interior seen a nice one from a polo gt. A new steering wheel with multifunction, a new gear knob, and a new handbrake. The current ones just feel nasty.

So I swapped the ecm pin to 69 and now it's all working. A massive thanks to all that helped it's been a journey. I can see why some say they wouldn't do another.

Ahh right that might be why then I'll swap that over thank you so much

The weird thing is when checking on vcds the cruise control stalk functions properly except that it thinks cancel is active until I move the switch to cancel then it's OK.

Oh that would be great thanks the vin is TMBFH25J8D3136 18 5.

Yes sorry I did notice that but there is only blue white and blue yellow going to the bcm.

Do you mean the ecm? I out it in pin 24 which I believe is the correct one for a 1.2 htp.

OK so I checked the pins on the bcm and sadly I did have them in the right places. Still getting an error I'm really not sure what's wrong. Maybe a faulty stalk?

OK so I messaged tech1e and with his help I have found the issue. The instructions that came with the kit are very poorly written. The pins that go into the bcm are not in order. I'll get out tomorrow and swap the pins over and hopefully that will be it.
