Nope

Our (1.2 HTP) Fabia had T-rated on from factory. 😁 The OP was right though, his were 91V.

Where does the vacuum connection to the brake servo come off the manifold?

Fit that brake light switch. It may be that the brake lights have stayed on and depleted the battery?

Broken wires in one or both front door bellows, I'd say. I'd probably start with pass side inspection. Do you know if car's build date is before or after March 2010? (Pre-or post facelift?) Different wiring in each case I seem to remember.

Is the A3 engine on an ebay listing? If so, sellers sometimes give reg number or VIN of origin vehicle in the auction details section. Either can lead to the full code.

Thank you too. Useful to know, to be able to advise others accurately. 👍

Was that on a phone or computer? I got it to show one of our cars details the other day, but I think that was on computer. Not seeing it on phone just now.

@Rizza, out of curiosity, could you try entering your reg number on the opie oils site to see whether it gives you just the three characters you know, or also the fourth, please.

CFF is an incomplete code, if you want to know the fourth letter of yours you could message me your VIN, or possibly get it by entering your reg number on opie oils website. https://www.opieoils.co.uk/

Good to hear, well done.

Hmm, I wonder if a previous owner did, and became aware of possible future problems. 🤔

Just about to watch something on telly; tomorrow?

Date code on part number sticker says it's original, week 26, 2007.

Actually VAG will say, yes of course you can order an 06F903803B regulator; that'll be £116.16 including VAT. Oh, and different brands of alts do tend to have different part numbers or suffixes. Not sure on compressors but would suspect the same to be true.

Any chance it has ever been mis-fuelled with petrol?

I'd tend to disagree, based on this graph that I made a few years ago of the coolant and oil temperatures and oil level during a short journey and then for a while after shutdown, out of curiosity. 2003 Polo, BBY engine. The data is available on that car, but yes, couldn't vouch for the accuracy, although it tracks the coolant temperature quite believably. X-axis is time in seconds, I reckon.

It used to work as a link, I think.

Yes.

There's a * note on the circuit diagram for that fused feed saying 'according to equipment'. I wonder if your car doesn't have this feature (perhaps due to RHDness?), and the fault reader has incorrectly picked it up. If you send me your VIN I may be able to dig into that.

I was referring to fabdav, but never mind. 😁

I wonder if there's even a thermostat or water pump problem too. Not sure I'd expect overheating in London at this time of year even without working fan.

Unwise to let it get to such a low state of charge in the first place.
