Just on the road, but yeah, can do in an hour.

6Q0407255S then (last character is an S, not a five).

If that ^ doesn't sort your problem, then start by knowing the part number of what you're looking for. Left or right?

Yes I do, will send you a Private Message shortly.

A bad attempt at spelling Briskoda?

EMD and EWT codes were used before GGU on same engine, to widen search scope a little, maybe.

Switch or wiring break at switch connector.

Minimum thickness is often stamped into the disc, either around the edge, or on the 'bell' part.

For the fan to be triggered by the radiator thermoswitch, the temperature of the coolant at the thermoswitch location needs to exceed the threshold temperature. Normally the position of the thermoswitch means it is measuring the coolant temperature after it has flowed all the way through the radiator, so you really want to know what the temperature is locally, where the thermoswitch is mounted. I think the thermoswitch threshold temperature for low speed fan action is about 95°C. I would not be at all surprised if the coolant had lost more than 9°C of temperature between the engine head where your VCDS temperature is being measured, and the radiator outlet. So yes, leave it for longer. Or get the engine working harder.

Yep.

If your ABS module connector has two rows of pins (26 way) then the rear left sensor wires into pins 3 (black wire) and pin 2 (brown wire) If it has 3 rows of pins (47-way) the rear left sensor goes into pins 36 (black) and 37 (brown). Equivalent pin numbers for rear right sensor are 11 and 12 of 26-way or 43 and 42 of 47-way. Both again black and brown respectively. Location : see item 3

A visual clue that it's the right one is how close the wheel bolt holes are to the rim of the hub. Compare the pic above from the asm listing with this one below of a suffix -AC (256mm version) wheel bearing housing/hub:

That's why I checked with the VIN. Get them to do same if you like. It came back as the suffix AG part number for me. The 1.2 engines got a mixture of 256mm and 239mm, with no obvious rhyme nor reason.

I can't remember where the front washer feed runs, but they never seem to have trouble. Rear wiper is the one coming through bulkhead, which is a very common problem when people fill up with not enough concentration of fluid, and freezing makes the push-fit joint pop apart, like what you've experienced.

Tailgate feed. It's a push fit with the other bit that will be nearby.

Best bet is to unplug the connector from the radiator thermoswitch and link contacts of that plug with a bit of wire. The incoming is the plain red wire, low speed outgoing wire is red/white, full speed is red/yellow. It's the condenser at the front of the car BTW, evaporator is the bit in the cabin. Ignition probably doesn't need to be on for low speed, but probably does for full speed, so may as well switch it on for all testing. Both fans should do the same. Fan action via G65 refrigerant pressure sensor is 9 bar for low speed, 16 bar for full speed on models I'm familiar with, doubt there would be much variation.

There's one on ebay (search that part number) with a shiny-looking hub that may be a good bet. Just checked with VIN (given in listing) and it is the right one, despite two different part numbers being listed in the description. Whereabouts are you?

Can't tell from the pics, usually you can spot bits of the part number but that's so corroded I can't make anything out. The part number you're looking for is 6Q0 407 255 AG

Bonnet switch is for alarm function rather than safety-related, I think. Our Fabia lacks an alarm, and a bonnet switch.

The wires will go direct to the ABS module, but without car details I can't tell you which pin numbers. There are a few different sets of circuit info over the years of mk2 production, and a few different versions of ABS system in each.

Manual gearbox? If so, perhaps the reverse sensor or a wire going to it is broken?

Intermittent wiper non-function is sometimes caused by the bonnet/hood not being properly closed. I don't know if any Fabia in 2008 had automatic wipers.

I don't see a contradiction between this and what the RAC said, personally; but carry on telling me I'm wrong if it makes you happy, I've said all I want to on the subject now. 👍

@incem hasn't visited the forum since the day he posted this thread, so not sure they'll be along to update, but you never know. If so , knowing what year the car was might be useful, please. 67-plate? Think that's what the registration plate says, now that I look? I wonder if this started at/near the DPF pressure sensor? Seen a few reports of burnt out ones of those on here. Early versions had gas piped from both before and after the DPF, later ones omitted the post-DPF connection, leaving it open to atmosphere in the engine bay. Perhaps the combination of an active regen and a pipe taking gases from just after that 'chimney fire' back towards plastic-housed components...?
