Thank you for your very timely help. I'll do these checks tonight when my wife gets back home. Is the car safe to drive? Thanks paul

Bit of background. 2007 Fabia 1.9TDi PD. About 138,000 miles. Had all 4 ABS sensors changed due to fault with one of them. ABS working correctly. before we did this work we had an intermittent ESP warning light - would come on after about 10-15 minutes driving. Can anyone suggest where we start looking now. Steering angle sensor, ABS control, etc. Thank you Paul

I have just changed the auxilairay drive belt tensioner on my 2004 Fabia 1.9 SDi because it was making an horrendous noise like a flock of sparrows. Changed it 6 months ago and it curred the noise - now even with a new one the noise is still there - so wondering if it is the crankshaft pulley or the alternator in some way - any ideas Paul

thank you for that advice - how easy is it to replace the ring once we've diagnosed the faulty sensor?

Hi my first post here. My daughter drives a skoda fabia 1.9 SDi and was with us at the weekend and reported a strange slow speed pulsing abck through the brake pedal. Checked it out with the AA and looking at the front discs and worn pads decided to change both pads and discs as all worn to the point where they needed changing in the next 6 months. On completing of the work same problem exists. Then looked at rear brakes and found a small leak on the rear off side slave cylinder which needs to be done. Also the two springs that attach to pins that run through the backplate on the other side were so corroded that they had fallen off. They need changing as well. My questions: 1, although this is happening at very slow (almost walking speed) could his be a fault on the ABS 2, how can you disable the ABS - assume just remove the fuse. 3. ABS light comes on when you switch ignition on but goes out as required? Could there still be a problem. Any help welcome Paul barton
