Car now working....hoorah After many hours of diagnosis, dismantling of dashboard etc, eventually discovered it was all down to a faulty fuse that was only permitting 2v through....one relieved fabia owner. By the way has anyone else out a problem with the power steering, can't find out much about it on this site but if you google there really is a serious fault with it and i too have this intermittent problem, shame on Skoda for refusing to acknowledge it and recalling all effected fo fix it! Until then I shall continue to work out my biceps & chest muscles when it packs in!! Regards Crikeybill

Hi All I own a 2002 Fabia 1.9 SDI, I love this car, it has had it's faults over the years but I'm loathed to give up on it. The wipers died last Thursday, so changed the fuse, well swapped the rear wiper fuse for the front wiper fuse...then a day later put in a fuse for the rear wipers. The rear wipers then wiped at a snails pace, but worked and allowed to rest until Sat morning....this is when the major problem commenced. My Fabia will now not start, it seems to be an electrical problem but my little Fab refuses to talk to the pc once plugged in so i have no idea as to what is wrong,,,, a relay has been replaced and still it will not start...it seems the onboard computer may need to be sent away...any suggestion or solutions much appreciated Many thanks Ruth
