Agreed. I miss those days as it was a very sociable forum back then. Sad times, but we’re all gonna end up here eventually 😞 Still clinging on to my Fabia with gritted teeth

Does very much sound like you washer pump has gone. I reckon when you pull off the bottom pipes from the washer bottle you will find the gauze is blocked full of scum, as suggested by nta16. Take off the electrical connector to the washer pump. If it only has two prongs in the connector block, get two pieces of old wire and attach them to a brake bulb or rear side light bulb. Put on blade connectors at the other end of the wires and attach them to the wire connector block feeding the washer pump. Pull the stalk and if the bulb lights up you know what the issue is.

Thanks, Ryan ☺️ It was another difficult session, which is to be expected as it is the last but one, but possibly the toughest yet. Can I borrow some of your optimism as I’m all out 😞

Still not back to my old self and been hiding away from the world tbh. I had a really good session with the head dr a few weeks ago, which perked me up a bit. But the next session dug deep and I’ve really struggled since. However, I agreed overall it is helping and booked another 4 sessions. Currently sat waiting for my next session as we speak. To try and cope, I’ve chucked myself in the deep-end at work, but I can see I’m not the same person and at times I feel like a blunt spoon. What’s not helping is the stress of an impending Ofstead review of the college I work for, and my lack of sharpness is starting to get me down and worry me that I could let my colleagues down. My poor Skoda has not moved since about August. I just can’t muster up the energy to get back on it, and won’t let Zee use it in case it lets her down on the way to work. It’s ironic that for the last few years I’ve not really touched my car due to lack of funds. I’m now financially as good as I’ve ever been, but still not making progress 😪

I beg your pardon, good sir 🤗

Variety is the spice of life, as they say 😛 Nothing exciting, but gotta be the lowest on this thread 🤗

Tidy. Very nice 😍

Not sure what they cost nowadays, but AP are decent and reasonably priced. Rear arb is a good addition, by all accounts. No need for vented rear discs, but looks are a personal preference. No real gain performance wise. I’d image retrofitting heated seats would be a challenge, but do-able. Haven’t come across any guides myself. 165/170 for a simple remap on standard turbo. Injectors good for about 240, apparently. No idea of who in your area.

Is it a plastic housing, or metal?

It’s worth pulling the rubber bungs off on the underside of the car as I’ve seen these channels full of water on TT’s.

You should see the code on the tag, but could be worn away by now

Thank you for your kinds words, guys. Knew I should have ventured on here sooner 🥰 The quack put me straight and told me to give myself a break too. I am trying, but can’t help but to push! Bizarrely, also tend to forget what I’ve been through 🤪

Ken, you’re always excused for not saying more

it’s tough at the minute 😞 Although a positive, seeing a head dr to try and help with PTSD & the anxiety has caused me to take a fair few backward steps and been struggling to recover the ground. Sorry, for once I’m struggling to come up with a positive spin on things 😞

That’s exactly what it is

Is it the elegance that has electric rear windows?!? Or from a better spec Fabia?!

Which is why getting the codes read is such a good place to start ……

Not really, but happy birthday anyway

If there was one post on Briskoda that makes me feel old, it’s this one. 🙈

Big-a55 ones!! 6.4mm diameter, which is too big for a normal riveter. There are solutions to refitting without rivet…. Rivnuts have been used, self-tappers may work. Have a search as there’s a fair few discussions on this, some fairly recently.

I guess it’s a bit easier for me as I can rationalise that without the meds I would unquestionably be dead, (this medication didn’t exist 15 years ago) whereas your situation is completely different 😞

I haven’t ignored it, it just wasn’t relevant at that point of discussion….. more to the point, I’ll reiterate the fact that the legislation is around the discharge and refilling (which includes the precursor and legal requirement to check that there are no leaks in the system prior to recharge by said qualified tech, which is the actual illegal bit) and no specific requirement to ensure that you know exactly how much a private person is putting in a system, which is how the likes of Halfords get away from selling these refill kits.

At least I know what caused my problem. Would be driving me up the wall being in your situation 😞
