Update on this. It wasn,t poor connections on the dashboard so still looking for help if anyone has had similar problems. Also the temp guage works and the dealer quote was £450 not £250 and thats just parts. Should read stealer not dealer.

We are just outside Norwich, its either a 52 or 03 plate can't remember which cos both the boys have them.

Hi all, Not been on here for a while but have a question that hopefully someone can help with. My sons Fabia has a few problems with the dash display, firstly neither the temp or fuel gauges are registering anything (they are not moving from zero) and the trip computer display will not switch away from its default position using the switch on the stalk. Anyone had this problem at all, is it likely to be poor connections on the dash connector as with other faults that I've seen on the forum? The local dealer quoted £250 for the dash ECU, I know from experience that they don't do fault finding and will just keep changing bits until they are lucky enough to find the faulty assembly by which time you the owner are saddled with a huge bill. Hope someone can help save him some money. Cheers Kevin

I could be up for this depending on date.

Anyone got Travelspot beam adjusters with instructions I have somehow lost my instructions and need diagram for fitting to 011 Octavia VRS.

Thanks for the help, fault turned out to be an earth problem as some of you suggested. He is back on the road now. Cheers

Thanks everyone, will have a look at earthing this weekend. Will let you know how I get on.

Sounds like I'm going to need that good luck. Just had a quick look at the dials they dont light up at all except dipped light symbol when dipped is on, no displays present and rev counter is stuck at just under the 1000rpm point. Also just pushed car out of drive to get mine in, leaving ignition on whilst missus did the steering and the dash lit up. Car then started and we were able to move car under its own steam and park up, once parked up and switched off we were back to not starting again??? Thanks for the suggestions so far, think I know what I'll be doing saturday now!

Thanks for the suggestion Big Jase, but tried other key. Not even getting coil light up on dash when switching on.

Hi all havent been on for a while but hoping someone can help. My sons Fabia 1.9 diesel will not run, when turning on ignition there are no lights coming up on dash at all, engine will turn over and start but will not run any longer than a few seconds. I suspect something may have blown a fuse. Any ideas?

Love the car. Nice moody picture.

Not too shabby at all, I would be more than happy with that sort of time.
