06 - rivets. Only had one side leaking but did the fix on both, used tiger seal. This was a year ago and still no leaks.

Ok, cheers. Will check out some of the threads

Hi all, today I went to put my blowers on '2' but there was nothing... Then I tried levels 1, 2 + 3 but they only seem to let minimal air in. Level 4 is the only one that actually blows as it should. Any ideas?

Yeah you need to pull the head unit out, wires plug straight into one of the blocks in the back. I removed the glovebox and sill trim, and trim at the side of the back seats to run the wires. Ran both down the passanger side and split the two to each speaker under the seat to the speakers in the boot. It's all explained with pics in the instructions. It's a bit of a fiddle with trim (a few skin pinches to be expected lol) but not too bad of a job :-)

If you want to have rear speakers I'd advise you to buy the skoda fabia rear speaker kit, its made by blaupunkt. Search it on eBay, comes with wiring and instructions on how to run.

How do you wire the input of the crossover to the head unit? Can it be wired into the exiting wiring in the door panel? Does the car need the crossover as the standard speakers are components anyway? Could I just replace the woofer and tweeter?

Hey guys, purchased some vibe liteair components and I'm planning on installing them tomorrow (weather permitting). Just wanted some quick advice on a few things. I've taken the front door card off before so no probs with that, and I've got the spacers sorted. I'm just wondering how the triangular tweeter cover comes off? Also is it a case of glue gunning the tweeter in place? Finally how was people secured the crossovers? Thanks, Scott. Share S

Excellent first car! (Im guessing its for his first at least?) I'm 21 today and have had it from 17. Never had any issues! Looks great, sounds quite good as its the 3 cylinder, low insurance and best of all the red seat belts lol ;-) . The only thing I've done is the rear door seals as most people. Also may be worth buying the skoda rear speakers kit as it only has front speakers, eBay is a marvelous place!

That's a bit crap, thought most modern ish cars would have an alarm! Oh well, I'll stick with my 'deterring flashy LED' lol

Haha definitely pressing it the once don't worry ;-) This may be very stupid but... I tried everything to set the alarm off....do I even have one? It's the fabia sport, I assume so because of the flashing led on the drivers side door? Or am I a complete idiot lol

Cheers for the reply Karl! But today I locked the car and its bloody working again, so I can only assume a dodgey connection. I'll be changing the front speakers soon so will have a look for anything obvious/give a clean when the door panel is off. I will try setting off my alarm today as its always nice to know it works and if it were to go off ;-)

Just noticed that my red led isn't flashing once my car has locked :-s the indicators flash as normal and the locking sounds are correct. Does this mean my alarm is not active?? I've never really heard my alarm and don't really know how to set it off? Could this be something simple like a fuse or something? Any help would be great, cheers guys.

that picture has convinced me to get some, but is that eBay listing for 2 bulbs or just the one, I'm a bit confused lol?

Firstly I have done a bit of searching on here but seem to have conflicting info, so can someone advise me on the max mounting depth of the front speakers please? Also as well as searching myself for some decent components, I'd appreciate your suggestions and experiences with speakers you have! I'm not looking to get anything too expensive, maybe 80quid max? Cheers guys.

Since having my car fixed after a crash thanks to some pillock (a story for another time) my door handle sometimes stays stuck out once opened, getting frustrating when trying to close the door and have it bounce back because it won't catch lol. I'm assuming that if the door was sprayed it maybe excess paint? Any ideas on a fix?

Can't beat our red seat belts ay ;-)!

My Mrs. Managed to explode a massive sachet of Caesar salad dressing, whilst opening it, all over my passenger door card....not happy! To this day I've not managed to get it out! Worst thing is it looks like a dodgey stain lol

I'm in gear, doesn't matter if in 3rd or 4th. As soon as I brake its still there until dropping below 32mph

Hi all, Driving from about 32 -35mph I hear a whuring sound from the front of the car. I think its coming from the wheels/one wheel maybe. Doesnt matter what gear I'm in and as soon as I drop below or go above those limits the sound is gone! Any ideas?

Did you buy the kit which included wires? If so that is for fabias which didn't have wires run or rear speakers. I bought these as I had no rear speakers. You can just replace the speakers themselves, using original wires.

If you are only putting an induction kit I wouldbt worry about attracting too much unwanted attention. I've got a k&n induction kit on mine, you will only hear the intake of the air when you shove your pedal down! Driving normally you wouldn't know it was there, but its a nice throaty noise when you want it!

It may be worth looking at the 1.2 sport model, I still have this from when I passed 3 years ago. It is by no means a pocket rocket but its nippy little thing if you push it right! It's not a big difference in insurance groups either, I found it quite reasonable. It looks great with the little touches it comes with such as the front bumper/fogs, rear tints, sport alloys, vrs seats (however a black fabric) leather steering wheel and handbrake and red seat belts. I've put vrs alloys on it to make it look that little bit better, which didn't affect insurance much at all! Overall I'm chuffed with my mark 1 and I'm happy to keep it for a few more years!
