ignition off press reset button keep it pressed ignition on pause 5 seconds release reset button turn it clockwise release job done on our fabia II....hope it works for others

then you're missing out on so much!

thank you estate man.....always good to know I haven't wasted money before time.

Just had a new timing belt and water pump on our 2008 tdi with 38k on the clock because I understood that 60k miles or 4 years was the required change interval. I have since noticed in the service booklet that for 3 cylinder diesels 150k km is the required change. Have I been over cautious?

we manually adjusted ours....in a vice

lights have gone out

forgot to mention that the brake lights are working fine.

guys the glow plug light is flashing on our 1.4 2008 fabia diesel. the engine management is also lit. I have read about the brake light switch on the earlier fabias....could this also affect the fabia ii if not, what are the likely causes? glow plugs? sensor?.....any help appreciated.

ok thank you. I will get the car scanned asap, see what that brings up.

Bloody things stopped again after about 1/4 mile!!!! :devil:

thank you for your quick reply. something to save up for then!

i believe it is supposed to earth through the four retaining bolts that mount the motor onto the linkage bar. that explains why it worked for a while yesterday then failed again. putting it back onto the car it worked again today but i have also secured an additional earth lead as a 'fail-safe'.

ok, update for anyone in future...it was poor earth that caused problem. motor was fine. also be aware that intermittent wipe doesn't work when bonnet up! thanks guys
