Hi guys, I recently took over my wife's Fabia VRS 04 plate - she made me do it! The little lady then bought a Fabia TDI on a 52 plate. My question is and forgive my naivety, on the TDI, should there be a ticking sound when the indicators are on? There isn't and the dealer says "some cars have it and some don't". Also, I wonder if there should be an alarm to tell us that the headlights are still on? Again the dealer insists it isn't a problem but obviously these are to little niggles that are annoying us. If anyone out there can help it would be much appreciated! I would like to know if these are fuse or relay issues and how to fix them.

Moved to Fabia I.

On mine (54 plate, pre-facelift), it makes a "clacking" sound when the indicators are on (like most cars), and , if you remove the key from the ignition and open the door with the lights on, it beeps at you. I would assume a 2002 Fabia would behave the same (but I could be wrong!)

Speaker on dash insert (instrument cluster) is goosed. Needs new instrument panel and the dealer should (and probably does know this.) Including re-coding of alarm and keys, you are looking at the thick end of £300.
