My engine management came on a month ago and it was just the A/C module, but this could be nearly anything. You'll need to read the code again and take note of it so it can be properly diagnosed. Also are you still servicing annually? Even if the cars only done 15k miles it still needs an oil change once a year.

I don't have a 1.0 tsi so I'm not that familiar with them but I've been reading through an old topic about modifying mk3s and when the 1.0 tsi was released there was a bit of talk around it. One of the commenters there remapped their 1.0 and had no bother after 20k miles, and it's been out long enough that there should be good, reliable options. JBS Tuning built an Up! gti, which has the same 1.0 tsi as the fabia, and were able to get a good bit of power out of it. You might need to give them a ring but they should be able to help you. Another option is a tuning box, like the one the Tdi-tuning does. These are generic though and wouldn't be as good as a tune done with a rolling road, which would be specific to your son's car. I was going to comment on the insurance but it looks like you've already lowered the car so the premium is probably already higher but a power increase will probably hurt more than the lowering springs. Whatever you go with though will probably get you around 130-140 bhp without other mods. The standard clutch should be able to handle it. It's rated to 200Nm but should be able to handle the extra torque, but if you're worried some fabias (including my 1.4 tdi) came with clutches rated for 250Nm, so you could try to swap it if it fits. P.S.- Maybe wait till after the winter to remap the car. It's probably not the best time to test the extra power, and it'll be hard to resist flooring it every now and then at first, so maybe wait till the black ice is off of the roads.

As far as I'm aware the Spider 17s should fit straight on. I couldn't find out with a quick Google search but if you check out the wheels and tires page (https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/213-tyres-wheels/) you should find more info. As for springs a lot of people here have gotten Eibach lowering springs 30mm-45mm front-back. They reduce the wheel arch gap by quite a bit and level the car out, though some people have said that they feel a bit bouncy when not paired up with stiffer shocks.

I'm not sure if it's the same for the facelift but when I changed the bulbs on my pre-facelift they were H7s. I opted for cooled halogens though so I don't know much about the LED conversion. P.S. if you can't find out online you can take a bulb out and show a photo of it here or check online. This is the standard H7 bulb that I swapped out of mine.

2017 SE L 1.4tdi 105. Bought it 6 months ago.

Hi there. I've been lurking for a few weeks but I've finally decided to join. I drive a 2017 Fabia III. It's an SE L 1.4 tdi 105 PS hatch back. I've had it 6 months now and think it's amazing. I'm a student so I haven't done any work to it yet, (just brighter headlight bulbs) but I'm hoping to make it a bit more lively in the coming year.
