Purchased a 2016 Fabia a couple of months ago. Car has been running well but tonight the engine light came on. I already own a Vgate 450 OBD2 unit I’ve used successfully on my 2006 Octavia and 2006 Polo. But for some reason it won’t link to the Fabia. I was just curious on the fault cause - do I need to do anything to put the car in diagnostics mode or should it theoretically just work? Luckily the car is under Skoda warranty so they’ll be getting a call tomorrow.

I have a 2006 Octavia Estate, and currently repairing a bit of rust to the lower side sill (under the doors) and noticed there is a type of tape that has been applied (possibly at factory) and I could do with replacing some of this where it is peeling away. Does anyone have any idea what kind of tape this is, or what I can replace it with?? Thanks.
