So I had a play about with the centre caps. The actuall overlays just fell off in my hands but the caps themselves all good! It's just a case of buying some resin overlays rather than replacing the whole lot! My overlay measurements are 56mm but didn't want to faff too much with getting inner measurements (felt like I was heading out of my depth). The caps without overlays look pretty good by themselves so might not bother any more with them.

Chances are I would automatically look at the brake reservoir. My reasoning, a car that won't start or breaks down is annoying but a car that can't stop.......A situation I really don't want to find myself in. The thought of it is just disturbing.

Haha! Solid advice buddy! Spent a couple of years trying to get my 2 wheeled 125 rust magnet to a standard that simply did not exist. Even if you do it can be literally written off in a millisecond 😔 I'm beginning to emerge from that phase I think (ask the Mrs 😆) My first thought when presented with a driving license was "Utility" so maybe that is progress IDK. Have you always leant more towards Skodas or has there been a variety? My Mum (RIP) always had Skodas after she had a bad experience with a Rover 216S. My Dad In Law (RIP) also fell in love with Fabia and Octavia estates.

I have watched this guy before I even got the car to get some insider information! He does seem like the mad hatter but he does his content very well! When I went to the dealer to pick the car up, he looked bewildered by how much information I had armed myself with 😆. Thanks to the Mad Skoda Professor! Aka (CarSpyTV) I agree, learning starts now!

They should be checking that as standard! Some threads softer and shallower than others. I won't say too much after only having a driving license for a couple of weeks but I am learning as much as I can, so that I am as damn certain as possible my kids are in a safe car. Like I said, I'm no mechanic but the job I do have, I take very seriously as people's lives can literally be affected by my small failures.

I have heard a few horror stories regarding the state of peoples wheels after tyre fittings etc. But yea, I shall be helping my mechanic friend to take off the wheels and give them a proper pampering. There does seem to be a center cap lottery through various years and specs on the same model cars!

Will do mate, hopefully it can help someone else. I'll post results here. Thanks for the help.

Thank you, a very useful website! I'm going to take a gamble and go by this as it gives other measurents which I know matches up to the rest of the wheel.

Okay, I have searched and searched a little bit more but cannot find a definitive answer. Does anybody know the centre cap size for 15" alloy wheels on a Fabia Estate 2015? Mine are on the verge of killing a pedestrian! They also look like they have developed some sort of calcium addiction.

Thank you so much! Wasn't the most confident of people on the road years ago but in my case, age does make the difference!

@pab567 Thanks for your response, are you able to PM me so I can share VIN? I can't PM you.

Hey everyone, Just passed my driving test at the age of 39! Just purchased a Skoda Fabia Estate MK3 2015 and so far, couldn't be happier! Not bad for a first car IMO! Anyway just wanted to say HI and how much I appreciate the information given on this forum. It definitely came in handy when doing small repairs to my Wife's Octavia. Jules

Hi there, This is my first post on a forum ever! Apologies if I haven't posted correctly. If I change the existing speakers with aftermarket ones, will the virtual subwoofer and surround features still work like it does as stock? For Fabia Estate MY15 SE Hopefully this doesn't sound like a daft question 😆
