This was without removing anything, just looking to the right of the duct that goes from front of car. Highlighted connector in this copy
-
Can only just see the body of the connector, but too much other stuff in the way of seeing wires emerging from back of it, sadly.

https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/FAB/697/2/260/260041 Linked page shows two part number options for the pressure sensor (item 14) depending on date of manufacture. I'd be mildly sceptical about their diagnosis, because just low refrigerant level will give a fault code for G65, which is that sensor. For spark plug info, we'd need to know your engine code. If you can find that, you can probably look up the relevant part numbers yourself by going up and down levels on that same website.

If you remove some of the air ducting between front of car and airbox, you may have enough view downwards to see the reverse light switch on the front face of gearbox, low down, and particularly the wiring exiting from its connector. Not sure. Might have to ease the odd coolant hose aside. Might be able to spot a broken, dangling wire that way, rather than having to get under the car.
-
Check to see if any of the connector pins are bent or have broken when reconnecting.
-
Glad I could help. 🙂
-
Plenty of grease on the thread of the insertion tool too.

Rear wash is powered from same wires and motor as front wash, just with different polarity. So it will not be affected by removal of rear wiper fuse.
-
Looks to be in the right position, I think.
-
I think Mk1 Octy had mirror heating paired with HRW. Fabia from Mk1 has it independent. Be aware if testing that it doesn't work with just ignition on; engine needs to be running.
-
You will probably find that it comes as part of a larger assembly of pipes and valves, the part number for which is likely to be on the rectangular box with the QR code on it. Consider doing a slightly better repair with self-amalgamating tape and save yourself a lot of money.
-
Or maybe just try a genuine replacement tank (not cheap though).
-
Mk1 Fabia tanks don't have visible/accessible prongs. You may have a cracked solder joints where the wires meet the instrument cluster, via a green 32-way connector.
-
Temperature is probably a factor (in maximum voltage levels).
-
I vaguely recall them being solid state, from taking one apart several years ago.
-
Wiring inside door bellows, probably.

You do have a CBZB-code engine, so this thread is applicable. O-ring at throttle body end of the boost pipe for your car is part number WHT 005 280. There's also one at the other end, part number WHT 003 865. I doubt the breather valve that is the topic of this thread is causing oil to come from your turbo. I suggest if you have any further questions that aren't directly related to this valve, that you start a new thread, possibly in mk2 Fabia section as that is probably closest match to your Seat.
-
Yes there's an o-ring there. I can find the part number for you if you can confirm your engine code and year of manufacture (or simply reg or VIN). The oil coming from the turbo suggests that the breather system is not working well, so once you've fixed the broken entry valve that is the subject of this guide (have you checked it?), feel for suction down the pipe that goes onto it with engine idling at operating temperature.
-
Losing charge that fast may indicate a parasitic drain, rather than simply an old battery. It would be wise to measure this and rectify any problems found before fitting a new battery, otherwise you may soon find that one going flat too.
-
Measure it on a long journey and compare with what google maps says. Best if it's a straight line single road trip probably. Someone clever on here pointed out to me that just because the same data (from ABS module) is used for speed and distance, they don't both have to be fudged in the same way.
-
The odometer for miles covered is probably very accurate. The same source data will be used for both, but the speedo artificially calibrated to over-read, as required by law in some countries such as the UK.
-
It's a mk2 Fabia. In a move seemingly designed to confuse, at one stage mk2 fabia trim levels were designated Fabia 1, Fabia 2 and Fabia 3.
