Does the car have start/stop? What type of gearbox? Manual?

It appears from this page (see low on left "Similar parts") that you can buy the 'core' of the pump without the whole housing, and it comes with the necessary gaskets. Might be a cheaper solution, IFF the problem isn't leakage caused by the housing itself distorting.

Isn't it a magnetic ring integrated into the wheel bearing/hub?

Message me with your VIN, I can check directly. The 1.2 12V came with 239mm OR 256mm discs and associated parts. There's a recent thread where this is discussed, including some nonsense, with pictures of the caliper markings for the 239mm FSII versions and FSIII caliper which would mean 256mm.

Have a good look around the engine bay from under bonnet just in case you can see a connector dangling somewhere looking forlorn. Chances are you'll need to be able to look from beneath though. A helpful local tyre/exhaust place might be willing to pop it up in the air for you/them to have a quick look. Not sure how much undertray there may be obscuring the view on your car.

Possibly a connector not refitted properly or at all after the gearbox was put back. Who did the work? Local independent, national chain?

So call a Skoda dealer near you.

1LB and 1LM are both PR codes for the FS2 caliper, 239mm disc set-up on mk1 Fabia. See here for a page from ETKA catalogue that's publicly accessible floating caliper brake; brake caliper housing; bra... - Fabia(FAB) [EUROPA 2007 year] (7zap.com)

Yep, that's the retail price, should be same anywhere in UK. They'll not have it on the shelf, so it may take a day or 3 to order in.

£6.65 + VAT from a Skoda dealer, bargain!

Either can have either mate, I believe, that's why it's tricky. Our car is AZQ engine, pentium's and les's are BME

@LesCM19 Your front brake PR code is 1LB. FS2 calipers, 239mm discs, pad part number for genuine is 6N0 698 151C. Info from partslink24, filtered by your VIN. @Carlston, you should consider subscribing, I feel it would save you a lot of time.

The photo of the fs3 caliper was not one that is on a car with 239mm discs. Please stop messing the thread up with irrelevance.

Only 256mm in Fabia, Ken, which is what this thread is about. No 280mm disc FSIII options in mk1 or mk2 Fabia AFAIK. I think I've told you this before.

Scroll up your whatsapp messages to 22nd April. 🙂

FSIII calipers of the time tended to be a bit more 'loud and proud' at self identification in my experience. My partner has a mk1 1.2 12V with 239mm discs, as does @AnnoyingPentium's I think?

Some do, some don't; online databases are very unreliable in correctly identifying which. If @LesCM19would like certainty (though the caliper already provides that, FSIIIs correlate with 256mm discs), he could message me his VIN.

Looks like an FSII caliper which goes with 239mm discs, and pads which are different shapes inner vs outer. If you have a pic of the other side of those pads it might be easier to be sure, but the backplates do look different.

Easy to imagine that VW Group expected more from Cariad than was reasonably possible, therefore wrong heads being rolled?

What is Cariad? Ah, found it, quite a way down Google page https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/group/brands-and-models/cariad.html

Most Skoda models have them wired directly to battery positive via nothing but fuses. Citigo is a counter-example, there may be others. Karoq has all of them fed from fuse 40 which is in turn fed from an under-bonnet fuse that connects directly to battery positive.

Just to point out to others, a new genuine switch from Skoda dealerships currently retails at £20.05 inc VAT, part number 6Q0 945 511

Put "kkl cable" into your preferred shopping outlet search box and pick one. Preferably one that comes without pirated software on a CD etc. Much better to download the real vcds lite from ross-tech.com, it is far less likely to include spyware.

Message me your VIN and I can look up part number for you. 🙂
