Yep that's the one as far as I can tell and seems to be the one linked as part no 7 ending in K...

loads on eBay. And you are right, rather than make a new diagram they have flipped it. To me it would have made more sense to keep the pipes in their functional positions. So the turbo outlet is the turbo outlet. -
Your one probably looks like this.....

BMM is a different layout:
exactly, that’s not the diagram you are looking at. However the EKTA diagrams are the same between the BKC/BXE and the BMM and BMN, with caveats. So the diagram doesn't represent your engine exactly. It even says on the part descriptions to match the numbers with the OE part. -
I’m 99.9% sure that’s not the right diagram for a BMM. But looking on a phone which isn’t the best.

13 is the one that goes into the turbo, 7 goes onto the throttle body.

Is that why my obd reader never picked up a fault I wonder
SRS (airbag) is not an OBD system. The Generic OBD systems are limited to engine/transmission/brakes. These are made generic so for legal reasons the authorities can read DTC information regardless of which vehicle. But manufacturer specific modules such as Airbag, Infotainment, comfort systems etc. will use a unique address and language that an OBS reader won't see or understand.

nice! speedo should work through abs now. At least it did in my first one when I ran the later abs unit
interesting as the input is set in the coding of the cluster 🤔 -
ABS converted from Bosch 5.7 to 8.0
heat protection for brake and clutch lines

Ahh I see, do the Fabia fixtures and fittings, by which I mean lights, locks, dash switches etc have the same style plugs as the Ibiza? Or have the lot had to be changed? I'd kind of hope being the same platform they "should" be?
Bit of a mix, some are the same, some slightly different (but easy enough to re-pin). Headlamps is a good example, exatly the same plug but some of the wires are mixed up, lord knows why.

I'm fascinated by the wiring up of these conversions, one of the things I consider myself weakest on is automotive wiring so hats off to you.
Is the engine loom a modified SEAT one, plugged into the Fabia ECU?
SEAT wiring loom and ECU. The easiest way to do it is to build the Ibiza in the Fabia shell. -
Change the engine oil (and filter) too.

That's an intensive engine removal Ross, with the wipers etc and brake lines all being removed!! Eek!
Wiring harness is being swapped over with one I have remade deleting all the surplus waffle. Brake pipes are all still there, bagged the ABS unit for protection although I need to swap it over for the later type which I have upstairs. Mounting brackets to be refurbished of course.-

So its sort of a spare key? Would the local motor factors stock the bulb for it? The filament is gone from mine.
All new cars came with two keys. A Comfort spec car came with one remote key (non flip, two buttons) and one of these.

A second Comfort spec key, looks right to me.

Ill never understand why they were black in colour, looks a little odd slotted in there with the dark grey anthracite surrounding the radio.
The colour matches the adjacent trims that go down the side and the heater control trim.

There is a chap on the Facebook Fabia VRS group who prints them.

To fit the rears, can you help me where is the factory wire routed?
It isn’t. No factory speakers, no factory wiring. -
Fault code check, probably a weak ABS signal or a wandering wheel bearing.

1) arent any emergency entry method to get in the car if the remote stops working?
2) on replacement you mean i have to order a new cylinder from the dealer with my vin number?
3) i bet it would be horribly expensive
4) none of you managed to repair a cyclinder before?
1) Yeah, the key in the door...2) Yes
3) About £90 the last time I ordered one from Skoda.
4) No, it's an assembled unit, just replaced them.

do you have any solution for this?
Replacement door lock.

You can fit the blank instead of the door lock, but then you are royally fudged if the remote stops working.
Techie's new runabout

Few more updates on the project...
Made some shifter cable bracket bush replacements up, still not 100% sure why, just felt like a cool thing to do.
Originally I had this running on a hybrid Ibiza/Fabia wiring harness, but I had decided (for a few reasons) to go full Ibiza and adapt to Fabia components where required. So out comes the dash (again).
Crash bar out of the way, heater box out.
Replaced the heater matrix on the Ibiza heater box, just as a precaution.
Adapted the inlet an outlet with the 1.2/1/4 petrol adapter. Means you haven't got to deal with the crappy aluminium connection of the big block engines.
Climatronic heater box lined up.
All being well dome real progress being made this weekend, depends on how bloomin cold it is.
