Didn't find the foto.

@Breezy_PeteI might have an old photo. I will have to find it in my phone. But I think my seal is detached from the water box. I am planing on cleaning out the water box and replacing the plastic things that hold it in. How should I fix the seal?

@Paws4Thot Yes, I think the lambda sensor is destroyed. The engine had a leaking head gasked, so it was burning oil and coolant. That probably destroyed the sensor. Thanks for your reply.

Hi, my fabia has had 2 codes for a while now: 17549-load calculation cross check: Implausible value P1141-35-00 16556-Fuel Trim: System too rich: Bank1 P0172-35-10 The fuel trim code is sometimes there, sometimes not. The load calculation code is basically permanent even after a head gasket replacement. Some rubber vaccum hoses have surfrace cracks on them but I think that isn't the cause. I tried running the lambda probe before catalyst test, the test started fine but the catalyst temperature was something like - 32°C Before the test the car was driven 20km in 10°C weather. So there is no possibility of it having really - 32°C. Tried running this test in the summer, fall, winter, spring multiple times last year but there was - 32°C every time. The test started, It held the rpms up, the temperature didn't change and the test never ended so I gave up. One of the test conditions is to have the catalyst temperature at least at 400°C. In my case the temperature never came close to 3 digit numbers. The Idle is sometimes rough but only a little bit. If I remember right the lambda value was in impossible numbers too. This might be connected with my other issue with exhaust fumes entering the cabin, I explained it in my other thread. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, for a while now I have exhaust fumes coming into the vehicle cabin. My fabia had a leaking head gasket so I figured it was somehow leaking exhaust fumes into the engine bay witch got picked up by the heater intake. The head gasket has been replaced in 2023, but the exhaust fumes still enter the cabin. The head to exhaust manifold gaskets were replaced. And the intake ones too. The smell is there when the vehicle is started, stationary and the heater fan is turned on, doesn't matter if the the heat control knob is turned to cold or hot. The smell stops when I turn on air recirculation or get above 20 km/h or when the fan is turned off. My fabia is from 2001, 1.4mpi AME, hatchback, no ac

Hi, for a while now my driver seat belt buckle is squeaking when I go over bumps or move the buckle while the vehicle is stationary. It is a little annoying but I am more worried about the safety. I think the bolt that holds it may have become loose. My fabia is a hatchback from 2001 left hand drive(I think it is the same for the right hand drive) Thanks in advance for any help. I am new to this forum so please excuse my mistakes if I made any.
