Trev96

Thanks gogo for that. I picked the car up yesterday so i'm at the learning stage. I will spend a couple of hours parked up with the manual and sort it all out

As Skoda’s own OBD2 plug retails at £49, i wondered if any of the generic plugs work with the Skoda app? I’m doubtful if i’l find much of the data useful, and I would NOT allow any third party to read my driving habits out of principal. Any advice appreciated This will be for a new Fabia mk iv

I would like to order some spare parts/accessories for my Fabia mk4 which should be with me in a couple of months. A few years ago i got a Yeti spare wheel from Rainworth at a good price, but they don’t advertise their parts department now. Superskoda in the Czech Republic seems to have stopped trading. Does anyone have tips on where to try?

I have for the second time left a low drain item (phone charger, gps lead) connected to the 12v socket, not just overnight but for 2 weeks or more. The car has not been used much over the last year. is there a way using VCDS to program the socket to work ‘ignition on’ only? BTW the RAC have been very good testing & sorting out a new battery.

Auto Express has published the prices for the new Fabia saying it’s on sale now. Skoda website still says available in 2022. Could the mag be referring to a continental model and just changing those prices into GBP?

This is probably a better forum to post this than the "Handy Tips". Occasionally my yeti’s battery gets low enough to not be able to start the engine. The problem is that the car has to be nose-in in the garage (no mains electricity), so I can’t open the bonnet. I believe that it’s possible to trickle charge it via the cigarette lighter socket using a good 12v battery . Has anybody done this? Would a 12Ah motorcycle battery do? Twice before I relied on a RAC bloke to help me push it out.

It looks like it is only the mk3 details. The brochure at the bottom quotes “UK 5/21” which I assumed to be the latest published one. I wonder why Carwow still lists factory fitted options when they stopped mk3 production some time ago.

May brochure & pricelist up on Skoda website
