Have you checked the DFM wire all the way back to the engine ECU? If not, tell me your engine code if you want info on where to look.

Not on the list of Castrol oils approved to 507 00 , no. Document current at 13.03.2023

Good point. How? A blowtorch may be the way to go, carefully.

So you need to start a new thread in the general mk1 Fabia subforum Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007) - BRISKODA, this thread is just about wiper relay replacement.

Wow, super-low. Not always a good thing.

Not sure, but certainly not MAF, your engine doesn't have one. It uses manifold pressure (MAP) sensor for air measurement. How many miles has the car covered?

Red/blue wire on pin 1 of the connector should have 12V from fuse 31 (10 amp) any time the engine is running. Brown wire from pin 2 goes to engine ECU pin 4 on the 81-pin connector.

That is bank 1 sensor 1. 👍 You only have 1 bank of cylinders and sensor 2 will be further from the engine. The heater may be a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) type, and if so its resistance will vary strongly according to the temperature it is when measured. So it may well be OK. If you can tell me your engine code (or VIN) I can look up the wiring information. One side of the heater is usually directly from a fuse, the other side to an engine ECU pin.

Yep, pretty sure that's correct. Not sure on compressions, maybe a bit on the low side especially on 2 & 3. Maybe worth repeating and trying in different conditions, cold engine and warmed up, to see if that reveals anything?

Have you got a compression tester? Can you have a look under the car and check what bar rating is stamped on the end of the fuel filter? (Just in front of rear right wheel)

DQ200 on this car.

Possibly a relay failure: Wiper relay replacement - Skoda Fabia Guides - BRISKODA

Ah, OK, I missed that the sensor was replaced.

Clearing fault codes rarely fixes faults. What other ones were there?

It is a petrol engine, right?

Not unless you want to worry that engine oils are just getting too good. Toot will be along before long to (correctly) tell you you don't need to use longlife oil for yearly servicing at those sorts of annual mileages (as long as it's a petrol engine?), and possibly get in a shouting match with another guy about whether 5W40 to 502 00 spec may be better in those circumstances. Brace yourself.

0W30 will get round the engine quicker at a cold start, so is better.

Visit counter or use the phone to call them, offer your VIN number and ask them to tell you which are the correct versions. Then order them on the website.

... symbol in the top right corner of your post gives you some options including edit.

I would suggest photographing it and starting a thread on the VCDS and diagnostics subforum. Unless it was a generic 3rd party lead using VCDS Lite software I'd be surprised if it doesn't work. Others will know better though. I have a feeling that it's only 2018- onward cars that need the latest lead??

.

I wonder if the info from Skoda UK is any more reliable? Time will tell.

What variant is the old cable? Have you tried it?

@djorous message me with your VIN and I may be able to find out something for you.

Are your reversing lights working?
