i have fabia with 1.4 16V AUB engine. A2 has engine with AUA code, which is almost the same as mine, computer is the same magnetti marelli as mine, except the code, but i am sure it is pretty much the same inside and works with other electronics in the same way

buying a petrol clocks is not a problem. and it looks like the same shape as fabia. the craziest idea was to fit a fabia 2 clocks

Hi, anyone tried to fit a fancy audi a2 clocks. I was looking for maxidot fabia but that is impossible to have So audi a2 is a fabia/polo clone, right. Wiring will not fit, it has different plugs and wires, but basically it can work on fabia since it is the same car! So i am thinking is it worth triying to fit it? the main questions is: will it fit inside the dash without cuts of plastics? what functions will i have over the standard fabia? wires is not a problem, but will fabia ECU and BSI work with a2 clocks over can and display valid info? will immobiliser work and can it be programmed to fabia ecu? have all the stuff like vagcom, eeprom programmers and right hand. but am i first who ever thought about that?

anyone?

so what is the end of the story? mine does the same thing. but i dont think it is light potentiometer as it controls the brightness over all devices in the car and it is only the dash which is flickering. someone told me that voltage regualtor inside dashboard needs to be changed. but i am not sure about that as i undestand that stuff and it is only an illuminaton problem of the dashboard, not the whole unit shut off.

well i thought someone here would know

well as i said before the thread is not about the switch failure. its about which is the latest(and most reliable) part number that i can fit

there is no fault by now for a week already. brake light works and no epc light. the switch is not dead and not 100% working and reliable so i am looking for replacement. no vw dealership near me :wonder:

hi, recently i had strange problem at morning - my epc light on and no brake lights at all for whole day. vag com showed: 16955 - Brake Switch (F): Implausible Signal P0571 - 35-00 - - cleared and again the same for second day. cleared on third day and everything is ok for a whole week now. very strange. anyway i am in search for a brake light switch but every thread i look i cant find what is the part number of the most recent fabia 1 brake switch (4 wired). i guess it must be green. here i found that the latest is 1J0 945 511 F http://www.fabia-vrs.com/technical-info/brake-pedal-switch-failures/ but its already changed to 1J0 945 511 E and somewhere i found that the most latest is 1C0 945 511 ANAR but i dont know if it will fit my fabia. by the way, its not VRS, a ussual 2000 year elegance 1.4 AUB (100hp)

mine ecu is original. so your guess is 2 and 3 cylinders have more carbon crap there? wynns combustion chamber cleaning will cure the problem? what about the catalytic convertor and lambda's? they are very expensive if they will die :(

mate, just take a 10-20ml syringe and a piece of straight rubber tube(for example take a "dropper", i dont know what it calls on English - the thing that injects the glucose 5% into the blood veins slowly) put the tube (with the syringe on the other end) into the oil gauge hole and suck the desired ammount of oil and here you go - back on the road!

well, i have vagcom and i diagnosted the knock sensor group and it seems fine. the ignition altering 0 at idle and when it pinks it can get up to 10 degrees (14 is max available) or more i dont know, havent time to test and patience when it pinks. and in group 26 there are voltages of knock sensor to each cylinders and they are 0.3V +-0.1V for each cylinder in idle, which is normal. so i suppose the knock sensor is fine. about ingition - what exactly do you mean? igintion angle in this engine is automatic. i have changed all spark plugs three times (original, NGK, now running on finwhale), measured the resistance of the ignition wires with caps: longest - 6.25Kom shorter - 6Kom more shorter - 5.9Kom shortest - 6.08Kom and it seems fine someone suggested me that timing belts wasnt set right. timing belts and rollers was changed only once on this car and the pinking was before i changed it. the service man said that he set marks correctly as it was, but maybe i need to double check it with some other service man or by myself? but lets imagine that one teeth is incorrect, what will be the compression readings then?

hi again ive just got the seals for oil separator but still havent cleaned it but today i did the compression test at some local garage service 1 - 12,5 2 - 14,5 3 - 14 4 - 12 elsa tells that new engine is 10-15, minimum is 7 and max difference between cylinders is 3. well i dont know exactly is my compression is good, but i think its not that bad to pink like an old cart. any thoughts?

yes i know, but i have clean spark plugs! so its not the case. its just clogged crankcase breather with oil separator, which is common problem or VW 1.4 8-16 valve engines. look here: http://golf3-club.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=271&view=findpost&p=52771 its not english speaking forum but there are pictures that will show you what exactly i am talking about

well i am not agree with you, the car runs good (not best) and there is no signs of engine worn, so i will clean the oil separator first and do compression test and report here. thanks
