[Water leak in cabin]

Had same issue, under the hole,the  round thing was full of water, this then overflows into the air intake for the heater. I put in a bolt with PTFE tape and then silicone over the top. Seems to have solved the issue, hopefully this can help someone else?

[Spare wheel options]

Hopefully an easy one for someone to answer. What size of spare wheel fits in the wheel well on a Superb Hatch? 

Thanks in advance

[Turbo trainer - getting the most from it?]

I would say limit your time on the trainer to combat boredom. During the winter I would use it anything up to 4 times a week for not more than 35 mins each session. I did not have any structure as such it was more to help my fitness than anything else. It does help to have a session playing on an tablet/ laptop from YouTube which helps the boredom and keeps it interesting.

[Estate Wind Deflectors]

Fronts are the same, rears are a little shorter but do fit. Got them on my estate.

 

[What clutch for a mapped pd100]

Vr6 clutch should be ok

[Handbrake Cable]

Got mine from dealers and were pennies more expensive, used ECP before and only lasted a couple off years.

[Doors]

Rear doors are different hatch to estate. Saloon should be the same as estate, problem is not many saloons around.

[Bargain ticket holder]

There is already a proper screw hole on the A pilar for them.

Not in mine. Comfort spec if that makes any difference

[Bargain ticket holder]

I guess you have to remove the pillar trim to fit it?

Yes you do, I had to drill a small hole for a self tapper

[Fabia 1 door lock barrel replacement?]

If the barrel has not been used it may have siezed up some wd40 or similar might be off some help.

[Ex Lease Car]

Could be an ex motability vehicle with that low mileage?

[flashing glow plug light vrs 07 plate fabia]

Could still be the brake light switch as it has two circuits one for the brake lights and the other for engine electronics. If you have cruise control does it disengage randomly? I had that issue and it was the brake light switch athough the lights were working.

[Fabia vrs mk1 - What injector]

Mk1 fabia vrs, also common for injector harness failing

Have a look here for further info

[Anyone tried this brake deal ebay?]

Yeh I have. We're OK to deal with delivery was 3 or 4 days from memory and I got the red coloured ones. The quality off the finish on the calipers was not 100% if I'm honest it looked as if it had been chipped and was touched up with a stick rather than a paint brush. Not a major issue as I had to paint them anyway to match the fronts.

Overall I would use them again and if you need them quickly then message them through eBay to see if it is possible?

Hope that helps?

Cheers

[Replacing Rear Calipers]

I was looking for the same thing, but I can't find them painted. Where did you get them from, that price sounds good. Cheers.

[Brake disc guards]

Would not worry about it I have not had mine fitted for about 3 years now and it has not caused any issues

[Fabia vrs newbie]

I think Tech1e would qualify for a competent tech

[fabia vrs low voltage problem]

Make sure the vehicle revs to more then 2500rpm as the voltage should then go to where it should be if the load sense wire is broken.

[Brembos help pd100]

Ibiza cupra has them as well

[Update to Marshmallow]

[Handbrake cable change]

Done mine last year and they were stuck inside the tubes, I used mole grips/ vise grips to clamp onto the old cable the used a hammer on the groups to knock them free.

Other than that was easy enough.

[Recommend a Bodyshop.]

The one behind behind kiwi fit on hallbeath road in Dunfermline, did work on the wife's dads car. I can't find any problems with the work or where the work was done. Sorry I don't know the name of the place.

Could be Dunfermline Accident Repair?
