Just want to say a big thank you to all you knowledgeable Briskodians!

Was dreading buying a car for the first time and becoming a slave to the garage should anything go wrong, but Brisky has proved to be a wealth of tips, tricks and handy advice. Obviously I'll never reach the technical expertise of professionals...but it's nice to know I can do some things for myself and not get ripped off! Also feels great to be part of an owner's club :p

I've only got a Fabia MK1 1.4 MPI in Cayenne Orange.....looks much slicker than other cars from that era. Will most definitely upgrade to a VRS when my insurance premiums become affordable enough! (first time driver as well)

Škoda Kamiq

Gearbox Emergency Mode

DRW · Thursday at 19:332 days

Last September my Kamiq 1.5 DSG 2020reg (regularly serviced) displayed 'Gearbox in Emergency Mode'. Very near home so able to limp home. Dealer took it in and fixed it under extended warranty. All okay until a month ago when it happened again, this time far from home. Switched off the car, restarted and all back to normal and drove perfectly. Yesterday it happened again and only D2 available. Started car today, no problem, all working, no warning sign. I'll be contacting the dealer again

Looking to remove the spare wheel + raised boot floor, and lower the boot floor - can I do this?

OwenR · 6 minutes ago6 min

Hi folks, I am looking at buying a Yeti which currently has a spare wheel fitted and therefore a raised boot floor - if I wanted the option of the lowering boot floor and taking out the spare wheel, for car camping, I understand that I need to buy a puncture repair kit and the polystyrene tray that it's housed in, plus I'd also need to source the boot floor that would sit on top of the (now empty) wheel well. The existing boot floor that sits on top of the spare wheel is not one of the variable

Fabia Mk2 Vcds Abs

StephFR · 14 April14 Apr

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing an issue with my brake pedal (basically going to the floor), and I suspect it might be related to the ABS module. I tried to scan the ABS unit for fault codes using VCDS, but I’m unable to communicate with it: it seems like CAN communication is not available. Is this normal on a Fabia Mk2 (5J), or should I definitely be able to access the ABS module via CAN? Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Passenger seat electrical controls not working after a new windscreen was fitted

Graham Butcher · 40 minutes ago40 min

This might be just a coincidence. But I have just had a new windscreen fitted following a rock being thrown up by a lorry's wheels hitting it, which left a small chip, which after a few days became a long crack and was growing. The screen was replaced last week, and yesterday I discovered the seat was not responding to the controls. I cannot see any fuse listed in the owner's manual which states it supplies power to the seats. The driver's seat is working as usual, which made me think it must b
