There are three holes in the outer end of the lower wishbone. If you elongate those holes towards the car by a few mm - then push the hub towards the car as you tighten the bolts back up it will remove negative camber.

how much brake fluid can i remove?
DEAN0 replied to tonytone's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
The problem doing it this way is that the clutch takes fluid from higher up the reservoir than the brakes do. You might end up having to bleed the clutch as well if you go too low with the fluid. -
I would do the same as above - wind them all the way soft and try it. Then go up in 1/4 turn steps trying the car each time to see how it feels.

The people who recommend this have clearly never had a blowout. The can of foam is as much use as a chocolate fire guard after the tyre gets wrecked. Give me a spare wheel any day ( even a space saver is better than foam )

Phillips, Hella and PIAA all make and sell HID kits. They are all way over £200 a set so no one bothers to buy them.

Mine turned out to be a seized spindle on the wiper mechanism. When you changed the motor did you check to see if the spindles moved easily ?

I went cupra bushes over 40K ago on my Ibiza TDi130 and haven't looked back. Can't say I noticed any more harshness to the car compared to the OEM bushes but there was a big difference in the feel of the steering. The cupra bushes made the car much more accurate in the steering and the tyre life improved compared to knackered OEM bushes.

Boot not opening and rear washer not working?
DEAN0 replied to beas's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
The Fabia must be different to the Ibiza in the pipe run for the washer. The rear pipe on the Ibiza is inside the car all the way to the tailgate. Are you sure the pipe under the car is not a breather pipe rather than a pipe for the washer ? -

DEAN0 replied to beas's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
The relationship is normally that the hose has popped off the rear washer and is putting the fluid all over the lock in the tailgate. The lock has corroded ( or frozen recently ) and is now too stiff for the solenoid to operate it. Fix is to get in to the lock through the boot and open the tailgate, remove the tailgate trim panel, re-connect the washer pipe, strip and grease the lock mechanism with a waterproof lithium grease. -
Problem with Traction Control light
DEAN0 replied to whatnameisnttaken?'s topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
NO - the plug joins two wires that run across the engine bay. Remove the both parts of the plug completely and join the relevant wires together without the plug in line. -

Do the same as others have done - scrap the plug. get two pieces of wire and some shrink wrap. join the snapped wires and solder - then heat shrink over the joints.
