Hi all. 

New member here and new fabia vrs owner. 

I have purchased a 2005 fabia, and the windows don’t work. I’ve narrowed it down from threads and investigation that it’s most likely the motor on drivers side. 

the confusion is that my drivers side motor appears (when I put the part number into eBay/google) to be for the passenger side. 

Is there a way of finding out what part number should be fitted with the chassis number? 

Thanks in advance

LHD vs RHD.

Ah right. Thank you. Do the part numbers have to match exactly or will any off same model fit and work? 

The main 6-digit part number needs to match, the letters at the beginning and end are far less important since they denote differences in manufacturers and revisions rather in than the actual part.

Thank you very much. Makes it a bit easier I guess. Just got to try and find one. My part number is 6Y1959802, so is it the 959802 that’s important to match?

Yes, there are loads on eBay matching your part number so it should be pretty straightforward and inexpensive to get a part with a working guarantee quickly. You don't need a new one, they're not a common failure.

Thank you so much for your help. I’ve managed to track one down locally for £20 so that’s not bad. Be nice to be able to use the windows!! 

Loving this forum already! 

If you look at the first item 3 in the table on this page https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2005-453/9/959-959010/

you'll see that the part number you have fitted is what should be on that side for LHD cars, where it would be the passenger side. It may be that it isn't a genuine one though, and the part number hasn't been correctly allocated to it.

Can you post a photo of the one you have?

 

Are the rear windows electric too?

The MOT tester will be pleased as well.

Not tested, I don't think.

Here it is. It’s a genuine one (I think). One thing that confuses me is that when I mess with wiring or fuses (remove for 30seconds)  both windows work, but the passenger doesn’t work from the drivers switch. 

The one I’ve found locally is 6Q2959802A and from the drivers side. 

No @Wino my rears are old fashioned windy ones.

That local one you've found seems to be from a car with front and rear electric windows (looking down that table into the next section, does yours have same?

Crossed posts there. OK, well the local one might work, but not have all its capabilities used, I'm not sure.

I'd try to find one that's 6Y2959802, or same with SK1 on the end of it, if possible.

 

Just thought to check...your car is right hand drive, right? Your location doesn't give much assistance in guessing.

@wino yes, UK supplied right hand drive. 

I must not be able to see the bits you can on the link you provided. 

I’ll have a check and see. 

Are you viewing on a phone?

I'd post a screenshot but I'm on a tablet and I don't know how to get one.

Edited 2 December, 20187 yr by Wino

Yeah on an iPhone. It just shows the part numbers and the same info all the way down. 

i Might try and get the one you suggest. 

See if this photo of my screen is readable :

 

 

 

By the way, the date column makes much more sense if you delete the leading 20 and treat what's left as MM.YY, not really sure why the 20's are there.

well I'm confused. spoke with Skoda and you were right, part number 6y2959802 should be fitted. found one local that worked, fitted it and boom all working. came the next morning and nothing again. removed the fuses for a while, replaced them and they all worked again, but soon stopped. what could be wrong? could it be the comfort module under the steering wheel?
