You can't, take it to the nearest Halfords, they can do it all for a sensible price.

The car hasn't been doing enough miles to keep the DPF clean, 68k in 10 years is very low which would suggest it's been used as a shopping trolley. I imagine the EGR valve is completely blocked so no regen will be possible until that's cleaned along with the DPF.

The turbo actuator on the 1.6 TDI is electronic so I'm not sure what you're testing but they often give trouble and have to be replaced and re-adapted.

1.4 TSI twincharger oil spec - VW 502.00 vs 504.00
sepulchrave replied to boycie's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
Some people are obsessed with viscosity, they erroneously believe that it somehow makes up for slack tolerances in their engine, some people also believe that changing gearbox oil will magically repair their worn synchro rings! -

If your engine does not use oil then you can stick with 504 spec since there's absolutely no reason to change. -
Please explain how tinted black headlights will be brighter than the clear units you already have? Simply fit brighter bulbs to your existing units.

Wheel arch liner plastic repair

Just buy a secondhand liner, they're all the same, a VRS is just a Fabia remember. -

The sensor is like a guitar pickup, a coil of wire surrounding a magnetic pole piece, the sensor generates a very small AC voltage of a frequency depending on rotational velocity, if you connect it up the wrong way round nothing bad will happen.

Yes of course it's possible, just buy a kit and follow the instructions!

Tailgate for estate vs hatchback

Negative, they're not the same. -
Weak Handbrake - rolling backwards

Get the drums off, clean everything up and make sure the automatic adjustment mechanisms haven't seized up first. -
How to fix ghosting/fading around badges?
sepulchrave replied to Sam_Buck's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
You can argue until you're blue in the face but it's exactly what @Paws4Thot said, UV exposure has faded the rest of the paintwork slightly, try a good cutting compound and a machine polisher to reduce the effect.
