What year is the car? Did you mean to write fuse 36?

"What are you?"
-
Nice easy access to the lock connector on a Mk2 then. Mk1 doesn't have that big hole in the steel panel. or any hole at all there come to that.
-
OK, I don't know the difference between a wastegate and whatever that is that I found, so you'd better wait for someone better at turbos! 🙂
-
OK, just went with the only bit that looked available on the parts diagram, guess it doesn't look like that then?
-
I don't know my turbos, but might it be 06H 145 710 C (superseded by 06H 145 710 J, £70.30 + VAT) from a Skoda dealership?

Send your VIN in a private message and I'll see if a control module is fitted to your car. Have doubts. That will also give me exact age of car in order to look at best wiring info to try to help.
-
Fixed.
-
Message me with your VIN and I can give you a definite part number for the car.
-
Possibly, but there are two different racks fitted to other (non-RS) variants of Mk2 2011 Fabia, so clearly there are some differences. First of the three diagrams calls up suffix-R part the OP mentioned, the third calls up suffix-T
-
Yes
-
Pretty bomb-proof cables to be honest, like an oversize bike brake or gear cable, spiral wound steel outer under the PVC cover.
-
Up to you. More of an aesthetic issue than functional, as long as they don't drop so far they rub on speedbumps etc.
-
Handbrake cables then.
-
How far towards the front do they go? Photo looks like a handbrake cable to me.
-
Yeah, I meant what damage has happened to it that leads you to need a replacement? 6R2 423 055 J is the part number of the complete rack with tie-rods that your car was built with. This part number was superseded by part number 6R2 423 055 L in Nov. 2013.
-
Message me with your VIN and it's easy for me to look up for you. What happened to the old rack?
-
Well that should be plenty! (Unless you meant 3mm?) Presumably you started looking into this because the battery wasn't charging? Or...?
-
I think so, yes. What engine does your Fabia have? I think on one or two types there is room to get the voltage regulator/brushpack off with it in situ, to check brush length.
-
I have a suspicion that Paws4Thot is KenONeill using a different account for some reason, seems to have a very similar 'style'. First joined a few days after Ken last visited.
-
If you don't see that, the problem is likely to be corroded wire or connections somewhere. If you do see it, possibly an alternator voltage regulator or brush problem. Get an assistant to switch on ignition for you and see if the battery light appears while you're measuring the current.
-
Does your meter have a dc current measuring range? If so, disconnect the plug at the alternator, and connect the pin that the blue wire goes to to chassis earth, through the meter set to - say - 200mA dc range (with leads in appropriate holes). Ignition needs to be on, and then you should see approx 50mA on the meter.
-
If the problem is confirmed as the control unit in the main/big fan then there will be no point in replacing the small one.
