Hello,

 

For some reasons, the positive wire from my battery got corroded so bad that I will have to replace it. The electrician told me that the battery should have a draining pipe or something like this, that should get the acid vapours somewhere under the the car, because mine is missing. Do you know anything about this, a part number or a maybe a hotfix? I'm driving a MK1 Fabia 1.4 mpi from 2000.

I've always got new ones with the new battery.

I've never heard of this before. Of course, Skodas of this sort of age are the only cars I've ever worked on that have battery boxes that actually enclose the accumulator unit, so I'd expect the vent to be part of the box.

batteries needing a hose will have a stub to push it onto    most modern "service free" type have an internal system to recycle the evaporated liquid back to "do away with" topping up  alltho' over time will loose a small amount but for most part are fit and forget 'till it goes wrong

I'm starting to think that I'm according too much attention for this small little things... I will just replace the positive wire.
