Ebay sellers misinform, unfortunately.

Any of these modules where 3rd and 9th digit of part number are different is a passenger side module and not functionally interchangeable.

Comfort module isn't involved. Message me about repair and exchange options if you like. 👍 See link in signature at bottom of post if viewing on a computer

Doesn't sound right to me. Probably a mechanic unfamiliar with the variable output voltages of the alternator on these cars.

Pretty sure it's different between hatch and combi Check here (probably in electrical section once you've picked year). https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/FAB

That was no use whatsoever then.

Well done. Fingers crossed.

That's probably a full shutdown of a cylinder (or more), to prevent unburnt fuel causing trouble with emissions kit downstream. Pass all this info to Skoda when you do speak to them, it might mean the car should be uplifted there rather than driven there. How far away is dealership?

Well played! You can probably take it to another dealer if they come back with "Just after Christmas" or some such helpfulness...

Yep, DAD is the three letter version of your engine code, on the bottom row. The fourth letter usually is a power variant so A for lowest power of that code, B for next one up, etc. Handily, that's a match for the diagram I mentioned above, so confirms individual coilpacks. It seems very unlikely to me that two of those could have failed simultaneously, so I'd suspect something probably unrelated to ignition. Please update us with what Skoda find.

Nope, but I could look it up from that.

That doesn't look like an engine code. There may be a sticker on the cambelt top cover with engine number on, as well as it being on the V5c. I think it will be three or four letters starting with a D. Just helps me maybe find a wiring diagram, which would answer the question about the coilpacks. The only 1.5 diagram I've found so far, for DADA and DPCA codes fitted to Superbs in 2019 suggests individual coilpacks.

If you ask us to speculate on what may be the cause, it might be helpful if you answer any questions that could help?

What's the engine code? (alphabetic characters at start of engine number on V5c) Does it have one coilpack per spark-plug, or one module that feeds all four? Seems odd that two individual ones would fail simultaneously (if that's what it has).

Fair enough

Makes life a teeny bit simpler. Take pics as you go if poss, and post here later for others' benefit. A cardboard sheet with an outline of the timing cover drawn on it makes a nice safe storage and position identification of all the many different screws that have to come out.

@Hawthorn654 why the question? Pure curiosity or do you think yours isn't running well?

Note that the timing chain cover has a couple of dowel pins that mean it has to come away horizontally once all bolts are out. Remind me, is this a single or dual cam 1.2?

Probably would want the gasket that goes from cat to front pipe, and possibly the dual sleeve coupler that links front to mid-section of exhaust. That way you can completely remove exhaust front section out the way for sump removal. Coupler is likely to be beyond re-use unless very recent. A (long handled) counter-hold tool for the crank pulley. New bolt for that pulley. Do you have a workshop manual?

This may be a tad overdramatic in this context JR. The wire failing again is unlikely to cause any catastrophe, and many other things may have caused the car to be off the road before then.

Not a bad price, taking efficiency of service and location into account. 👍

No worries. You certainly could get a factory fit towbar on a Mk1 Fabia, the wiring is shown in the circuit diagrams , but whether sold in the UK with "1D1 - with trailer hitch" I have no data on either way. @AnnoyingPentium do you have any info on this in your brochure collection? See here for lots of mk1 useful pdfs: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/files/file/76-mk1-fabia-workshop-manuals/

Has PR code 1D0 which is "without trailer hitch".

What's the VIN?
