Thanks BTW.

Yup, I have a Leon and that takes a rear Fabia arm (I recall heeding advice to get the hatchback one as the estate one is too long). Local dealer wants £20.17 + vat just for the arm and it's a back order item with a 12 working day lead time :( Back to ebay, hopefully for a better experience with a different seller.

Yes, really it happened. Along with a catalogue of other minor niggles with this vehicle recently (Detached reverse sensor wiring, failed tailgate strut etc etc). I am therefore trying to find a replacement arm. I ordered one on ebay after carefully selecting the make, model, variant, year, engine etc... Part came and they sent what I think is the Estate one (it's a few inches too long), they reckon they don't do that part. All the usual suspects appear to not stock rear wiper blades let alone wiper arms (GSF / Euro CP etc). The old part is: 6Y6 955 704 Any ideas for cost effectively tracking down a suitable replacement arm and blade? Gonna give the local dealer a buzz in a moment to see if they are reasonably priced. Many thanks.

Thank you for the reply - appreciated.

Hi There, We recently purchased a 2005 1.2 htp 12v Fabia, being an Seat owner also I am aware that some of the oil specs referred to in VAG handbooks have changed. Just wondering if this is the case for this car before I put the wrong oil in it! Was going to top up with Castrol Edge Fully Synthetic 5W30 Engine Oil (VW 502 00/ 503 01/ 505 00) Good idea/Bad idea? Thanks for any advice.
