I have to admit I thought the heated front windows was standard with the Elegance spec, we've just bought the lower SE and every one we looked at had heated front windows. Ours is just 2 years old maybe the standard spec changed over time?

Just picked up my '62 Yeti 1.2 SE from these guys. Awesome service from Tim, helpful, friendly, down to earth. He also gave me an excellent trade-in deal on my old Fabia (twice what another dealer offered), can't recommend highly enough.

Fabia 1.4 Control system for exhaust warning light
siloko replied to siloko's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
UPDATE: I got in my Fabia after work and the warning light was extinguished. I had previously checked at lunchtime (4 hours after the heavy braking incident which caused the original warning light) and it was still lit so I presumed it was a fault that needed rectifying so called the dealers. Hawkes Motors in Bury St.Edmunds were excellent offering to have a look at the car without any hesitation (it was about 8 weeks into a three month warranty). However on finding the warning light extinguished I asked advice and they said it should be ok, but if I have any problems to bring it in. I drove about 120 miles in the last 24 hours and she drove beautifully, no warning lights, no problems. So fingers crossed the warning was a temporary one which hopefully won't reoccur any time soon. I post this just in case anyone has a non-flashing 'Control System for Exhaust' warning light - don't panic, it may go out all by itself (I am not a mechanic!). -

Hi, again, thanks for the reply. How do I check the pedal switch? -

Well that just about covers it!. Is it still ok to drive? Maybe 100 mile round trip tomorrow! I'll see if the dealer will have a look under warranty. Thanks for the excellent reply! Stu -
Repost after mistakenly posting in the introduce yourself forum! Hi Skoda dudes! First post. I recently (about 6 weeks ago) bought a 03 plate Fabia Comfort 1.4 16v 100BHP. I love it! I am a pretty conservative driver however this morning I had to break quite heavily after which the EPC and 'Control system for exhaust' warning lights came on. The car didn't go into 'safe mode'. After a while the EPC light went out but the 'Control system for exhaust' light remains on. I have power cycled the ignition a couple of times and the warning light goes off when I start the engine but immediately relights. The car is under a 3 month warranty from the dealers but it is a bit of a trek to get there, so is there anything I can do myself to check whether this is a genuine fault? Is it safe to drive the car without causing permanent damage? Apologies for the loads of questions but this is essentially my first car (aged 38!!). Cheers Stu
