Hi Have gone through a couple of Cars since last was on the Forum, happy to be back. Picked up a Fabia 2013 1.2 Tsi DSG Car seems to be fine had a couple of repairs for recent MOT. Which is where I come to a problem. Drivers side seatbelt Stalk when putting the buckle in to the slot it is only with extreme difficulty that I can get it to engage. It appears as if someone has taken stalk apart to try and fix this. If I hold the red button down I can just about manage to engage the seat belt. So I’m probably looking at buying a new one or sourcing one from the Scrappy. Happy Days 😀

Glad I'm not the one fitting it. 😭

Many Thanks I guess my Son always expects the worst thing to happen. Works on Cars Vans and Trucks all day.

Thanks for the replies. My Stepson who is a very good Mechanic. Uses an Autel Scanner which he knows his way around. He sent me a Video of the Sensor which has a Black plug on the end. Due to the location on the Manifold it will have to be given a fair bit of heat to loosen it so that the threads don't strip. He checked with a multimeter on the plug end and he's 99 percent sure the Sensor Lead has gone. I'll order one this week and hopefully he can fit it this weekend coming.

Vin TMBFN6NJ2HZ029829 Not sure what the fault code was but I will be able find out later this afternoon for sure. Thanks Ian

Hi I had an engine management light come on the other day. Had it diagnosed as the O2 Sensor. It appears to be the one at the back of the manifold with the Black plug.Ive had a look on eBay and theirs a Pre Cat and a Post Cat. Any idea which is the one behind the manifold.Dont want to buy the wrong one. It's 2016 1.2 TSI Thanks Ian

Nice Post I followed the Instructions. Thought at one time I was going to crack the mirror, pressure I was putting on the latches seemed excessive. Finally got the Head Shell off then the real fun began 😂 Taking the old unit with Bulb out was super easy. When I went to fit the unit I'd bought from eBay,it was a nightmare. Looked and felt like it was made of Peanut Brittle. I guess that's what happens when you buy cheap. All done now everything back in place. Thanks for the Photos and info. Ian

Must be using Cooking Oil 😭😭

Found the info coolant reading 90 c oil temp between 86-87 when running around town.

Thanks I've used the infotanment screen for most things. How do I use the dash screen. Do I use the left or right stalks to bring up the info. Or the wheel thing on the Steering Wheel. Really need to find the Car manual.

Found one on eBay. 12.95. but bought for 10 30. They had a discount code. Hopefully have it by Saturday and will put it back together.

Yes had a Message symbol of the Car telling me the right front Indicator was knackered. Shame it couldn't have taken a Picture of the Pr**k that hit it 😞

Thanks Managed to order the Clear plastic housing from eBay. I'm guessing the Bulb is knackered I'll pick one up. The Road I live on is a Rat Run they go along at a minimum 80 mph. My fault for not folding in the mirror.

HAd a look this morning. This appears to be the Culprit.

Thanks been raining all day today. Price we pay for a couple of days of sunshine. I’ll have a look under the bonnet tomorrow , see if I can spot anything obvious. And I’ll check the display with the Car thing. I had a feeling it was all going to well 😪😪

Car didn't come with a Handbook. Probably went the same way as the Service History. So I'm Driving along this evening minding my own business. When a symbol appeared on the Dash. Yellow Triangle with I think an exclamation mark in the middle. When I had a chance I switched off, gave it a minute then switched on. The symbol was gone couple of minutes later while driving it was back. Anyone have any idea what it means ? Thanks for any help Ian

Thanks Saves me crawling under the Car trying to find it 👍

Apologies should have said TSi

Just wondering if I have a Petrol Fuel filter in the Tank, or on the underside at the rear. Apologies if this has been asked before. its a 2016 1.2 TFS.

Always try to block change save the Clutch. Trying to explain this to Wife who won't come out of 4th Gear in case she goes in to Reverse 😭

Wow. Just checked the Price for 4 Gulp 😰

Just what I'm looking for. 👍 Is it wise to get these from the Bay or are their likely to be Counterfeits around. Thanks Ian

Hi Had the Fabian a week now. Noticing the gear ratios seem quite short I realize it's a 1.2 so maybe that's how it should be. My arm seems to be going up and down like Fiddlers Elbow 😃. I can be doing 35 in 6 th Gear. The dash comes up with change from 4- to 5. 5 to 6 With very little speed actually being done. I'm thinking on a Motorway run this might be a disadvantage. Last Car I owned was a 2.0 Diesel 70 on the Motorway revs just starting to approach 2000. I guess it's the price you pay for modern engines fuel economy etc.

If I have a look on eBay. Any particular make to go for ?

Thanks Just need to find an easy bank to rob to pay for a full tank 😂
