P0441 Next Steps
Same problem I had after over filling the tank. Replaced the evap filter which is next to the tank behind the rear offside wheel arch liner. Car drove without any problems for over a year with the light on the dash. Once I replaced it I cleared the code and no more dash light and sailed through its mot. Think it took about an hour to change and bought genuine vw part online for about £85

Petrol tank evap filter replacement
Has anyone had to change the evap filter that connects to the petrol tank on a mk3 fabia estate. Need to change mine as the fault code shows it's failed due to over filling the tank. I've got the replacement but just wondering how difficult it is to remove the wheel arch liner before the filter can be reached

Heater only works on number 4
The part from eBay came with a 12 month warranty. Got the old one out and the new one in (took about 20 minutes after finding my t15 screwdriver) now got working heating again 👍

Heater only works on number 4
Checked on skoda parts UK and it is the right part number. They wanted £84 for it. Went onto Ebay and searched the part number and got it for £12.50 Thanks for the information 👍

Heater only works on number 4
It looks like the heater control resistor pack may have failed on my 21 plate estate. Was wondering why I wasn't noticing any heat when driving to work. Turns out that the blower only works on number 4 with all others not blowing heat into the cabin. Does anyone know the part number for this resistor pack and also are there any guides for changing it on a mk3 fabia?

Battery question
I do have a nextbase 422gw dashcam hard wired in the car (can't remember which fuse it was piggy backed to) will have to check if it was permanent live or ignition live. After a 5 mile drive from home to work the charge on the battery had gone from 11.4v to 12.4v so hopefully it'll be a simple case of moving the dashcam power feed to a fuse that is definitely ignition only once one has been found with a multimeter

Battery question
Just as an additional note. Car is a 21 plate 1ltr auto estate. Charge voltage with engine running 14.6v Battery voltage after 5 mile drive 12.4v Battery voltage after sitting for 8.5 hours 11.9v

Battery question
Ok There's probably been quite a few posts about the batteries on the mk3 fabia forum but for some reason every time I try searching it brings up results for the whole of briskoda. Problem is as follows. I have been getting start stop errors for the last couple of months with and without the emc error light on the dashboard. Most recent it was saying that the voltage was low disabling the start stop system. Just got hold of a cigarette lighter charger that shows the battery level and as can be seen in the attached photos which were taken after the engine was started, when I arrived at work and turned the engine off and before the car was started 8.5hours after leaving work. Unfortunately where I live I have no way of getting a charger connected to the battery on the car and no safe location to put the battery on charge in the house. Driving to and from work is a 10 mile round trip all at motorway speeds and I might get to do a 100 mile round trip on a weekend with the car sitting in between each journey for several hours. Any suggestions about how I sort this one out?

Fabia III owners handbook link
I found an official workshop manual for the mk3 online for purchase. It covers everything that the dealer needs to do prior to delivery and everything related to servicing and maintenance of the vehicle. It wasn't too expensive to buy £15ish but it's got over 8000 pages with detailed instructions on how to do everything on and in the car. If anyone wants a copy use this link

Oe Armrest fitment
Got the base fitted today after removing all of the screws holding the centre console in place. Still a pain getting it in but it's not moving anywhere now. Realised that bolt number 27 was missing so have ordered it from eBay so should be able to get it finished next weekend

Oe Armrest fitment
Does anyone know the part number for the smaller tray and the length of the m6 bolts?. Just got an oem armrest on ebay but they didn't supply the tray, bolts or plastic shroud. Managed to find the shroud on ebay after finding the part numbers for them but can't find the tray part number anywhere 😕

Just purchased an original armrest for my mk3 fabia estate from eBay but it came without the plastic covers that go around the 2 sides and the back of the upright that gets fixed to the car. Does anyone know what the part numbers are for these bits of plastic trim are? Also does anyone know what size/type of screw or bolts are used to secure it to the car Cheers in advance

Retrofit Cruise Control - Fabia 3
Not long had my 21 plate fabia se automatic but would have preferred cruise control rather than the speed limiter. Was supposed to be getting it done today but the guy that skoda Milton Keynes use didn't bother turning up. As my car has the collision avoidance installed would I be able to get adaptive cruise control fitted?
