I think it shows your a/c works better than newer ones.

Yes it would be strange. Just trying to find a quick easy fix. The eco symbol appears on mine, But if I have display to show mpg it says coasting.

Hi Dereku. Thank you for your suggestion of going back to dealership, after a lot of thought I have decided to call them tomorrow to get it booked in. I did like the idea of set and forget climate control on the 2022 sel but in reality It didn't work very well as you said. But if I did put it on low instead of a specific temperature it was mighty cold, didn't need to leave it like that for long at all. Yes I've had 4 Fabias and my wife has one ,I'm a bit of a fan. Plenty to like about the car for me personally. Yes forgot to say my current fab is a se comfort dsg. Same manual AC as colour edition. Have had a bit of a thought. I'm not able to select drive modes as such In. the infotainment screen but if using D1-7 it does have coasting/eco message when not accelerating or braking. If in S1-7 or manual shifting it disables this feature. Just wondering if this could have any effect on AC, some cars it does. It even read it in a manual for a car I drove that AC wouldn't work to it's full capacity when eco mode selected. Look forward to your thoughts.

Ok. Thanks

That's great. Let me know your findings. I Don't avoid the heat, it's just with COPD the quicker I can clear the hot stuffy air the better. I fear if we have a heatwave then A/C just won't cope. Don't want it blasting me would rather cool the car. My wifes car has manual A/C with the 3 control knobs as does mine. Wasn't keen on the other system where you have to go into the infotainment system if you want to take control. Had one like that and don't rate it personally.

Thank you nta16. I will definitely check if the cabin filter is clean, I'm confident I can do this thanks to the link you posted. I will let you know the outcome. And thank you otohere for pointing out the capabilities of the cars A/C. Maybe I will look into getting some high quality tints to reduce the heat getting in to help the A/C when temperatures get higher.

Hi otohere. I probably didn't explain clearly what I was trying to say. I don't want my inside car temperature to be as cold as a fridge, about 20 would be acceptable. The point I was trying to make was that 9.7 at the vent on a cold day is not going to be much use on a day when it's 28/30 degrees outside, as it will take forever to cool the cabin. Many thanks for your input

Hi nta 16. Yes completely agree, hands on mechanics are a thing of the past. Wouldn't be so bad if dealerships in my area could book it in quicker than 4/6 weeks. Summer will be over by the time it gets sorted, if it ever does. A/C for me is a really important part of the car as I have breathing problems, and I'm not enjoying the car attall because of the A/C Thank you so much for your input. Really appreciate it.

Can anyone help. Purchased 2024 fabia in February 2025 so didn't realise at the time that the A/C wasn't blowing as cold as I think it should. Took to Skoda dealership who apparently tested for fault codes and said there were no leaks and gas was correct, so nothing to put right. I then fitted a thermometer to my vent and drove for 25 mins in the rain with complete cloud cover and outside temperature was only 12.5. The vent temperature was 9.7. I did the same thing with my wife's 10 year old fabia and hers was 5.9. phoned dealer who said they didn't do a temperature probe test at the time because they didn't have one. They have offered for me to take it back but I don't trust them, and I'm worried it will turn in to one of those faults were your just going back and forth for months. There was no mention of whether they checked cabin filter or not. Car has got 12k miles. Any ideas would be greatly received.

Hi John 1952. Yes they were pretty black with brake dust. I just think they look so much better. I know they are to ment to be more efficient but the car is so good on petrol I don't think it's going to make that much difference in the real world. My wheels are proxima alloy's,why cover them up.

Hi . I followed your advise and got center caps from Amazon and suggested nut covers from eBay and now my wheels look fantastic. There silver not black as it's an Sel. I was going to remove them even before I bought the car.so glad I did. Thank you for giving me the confidence to go for it.

Hi everyone. New on briskoda but not new to Skoda cars. Had my first fabia in 2013 ,a lovely 2012 TSI 105. Moved on to a 2016 colour edition 110 dsg and my latest one I got nearly 2 weeks ago, My little beauty 2022 110 TSI Sel. What a cracking car. I figured I should join briskoda as I quite often look for info on here. The wife is on her second fabia aswell so I guess that makes me a fan. Haha
