Skoda Fabia mk4 sharp brakes
We certainly didn’t opt for rear discs on our 3 cylinder 1.0 95 bhp Fabia to look or appear sporty, we did it as we tow either a trailer or a small boat fairly regularly and like the performance of all round discs as opposed to front discs and rear drums, in my opinion they do make a difference. Cheers Paul

Skoda Fabia mk4 sharp brakes
We have had our 2022 Fabia SE Comfort since new, we spec’d rear discs when ordering and we don’t feel the brakes are any different to previous cars we’ve owned with all round discs, we have today had the rear discs and pads replaced as they were put as an advisory when it was Mot’d, cheers Paul

mpg
Hi, at 06:00 I drove to Bridgwater from 6 miles the other side of Minehead yesterday morning it was around 7* and pouring with rain, I was following a Hinckley point bus most of the way, if anyone knows this road they will understand the avg speed as it is pretty windy, the results are below, I’m more than happy with the mpg we’ve been getting since we bought it new, it’s a mk4 Skoda Fabia 95 TSI SE Comfort , cheers Paul

Fabia Mk 4 Alternator Charge
Hi, I would also recommend hard wiring the dash cam, it’s really easy to do, I fitted ours when I took delivery of the car, and haven’t had any issue with battery drain, also if unfortunately someone knocks your car whilst parked you're likely to have footage for insurance purposes 👍

Airbag warning light
Hi I have recently removed the glovebox aperture and end of dashboard panel with the passenger airbag on/off switch which I unplugged to repair the heater fan, unfortunately now that everything is back in place the airbag light is staying illuminated, I’ve tried switching it off and on but it still doesn’t go out, please does anyone have any idea how to sort this, hopefully without taking it to my local dealer which is a 2 hour round trip, any help with sorting this would be gratefully received.👍 cheers Paul

Glovebox Removal
Hi, I did try that but unfortunately it still stays lit up, I bet it was, thankfully mine stayed together as I’m not good with springs and switches. Cheers Paul

Glovebox Removal
Good afternoon, I would like to thank you for the detailed instructions of how to completely remove the glovebox and housing, I have this morning done this to fit a replacement heater resistor part no 2Q0959263A as the heater was only working on no 4 setting, all in it took around 30 minutes from start to finish thanks to your guide 👍 I only have one issue now and that is the airbag light is now on on the dash, I’m assuming due to me unplugging it as it’s never lit up before, if anyone can advise how to turn the warning light off I’d be grateful please, many thanks Paul

Heating Issues
Good afternoon, SUCCESS that has fixed it, I got the part from Skoda Parts Direct part no 2Q0959263A it was expensive but it’s fixed it 👍 the only issue I have now is the airbag warning light is on, I’m assuming because I unplugged it on the side panel, in fairness I didn’t really need to unplug it as the wire was long enough to for me to undo the 2 panel clips but thought it best to get it out of the way, all in it took about 30 minutes from start to finish, I don’t suppose anyone has any idea how to reset the airbag light please? Many thanks for all of the comments above, it’s very much appreciated, cheers Paul

Heating Issues
Good morning, Thank you both for your very detailed description, it makes interesting reading, I too have never had a heater fan stop working on any car I’ve owned this includes 2 previous Skoda’s a Fabia estate and a Citigo both absolutely brilliant cars and absolutely no issues during ownership, I’m hoping to have a go at replacing the resistor pack tomorrow and will post up my findings and results 🤞 Many thanks Paul

Heating Issues
Hi, I’ve just found this link after posting of having a problem with our heater, the car is a Fabia se comfort we collected it on the 1st of September 2022 and to date has been absolutely fine, however in the last couple of days the heater blower is only working on 4, absolutely nothing on 1 2 or 3, I’ve seen on YouTube the videos of how to replace the resistor on the earlier models but not the mk 4, does anyone know if it’s as simple a fix with the mk 4 please, it’s Sod’s Law it’s packed up now 2 months out of warranty I don’t for one moment think that they’ll repair it foc our nearest dealer is a 2 hour round trip so May speak to them tomorrow and see what they say. Cheers Scotty

2022 Skoda Fabia SE Comfort heater issues
Hi, I was previously a member on here but forgot my password and it was an old email address, we ordered the above car in May 2022 and collected it in September 2022, we have been very happy with it and have had no issues up until this week when the heater fan now only works on setting 4, I’ve checked fuses and can’t hear any relays clicking when I ask my wife to switch the fan to 4, has anyone else experienced this issue and if so did you have any joy with a fix, any advice would be gratefully received please. Many thanks Scotty
