First year of ownership 2016 Fabia mk3

Featured Replies

Fortunately I have not really had to post anything in this first year of ownership so that speaks well of my first Fabia!

 

If I could change anything it would be the roof design so that water doesn't run straight off the roof into an open drivers window and into the electric window buttons.

 

It's a great little car, I still love the two tone colours and I still have to remind myself of how far these little 1.2 engines have come in terms of spritely performance.

 

My only mishap was to blow the drivers window fuse whilst operating it and leaning out of the window to perfect my parking last week.  Before I checked the fuses (it's been decades since I've had a fuse blow on a car) I recalled that popping off the door wiring connector can reset the electric window. I did this but just caused an airbag fault code to become entrenched on my dash!

 

As per my last post I decided to get a fault code read and resetter to erase the code and now everything is ok.

 

I'm still wondering why the fuse blew though because windows usually have an automatic power shut off rather than relying on the fuse? There was no rain on this day but maybe moisture in the switch caused this? Either way it was fine driving the vehicle, it was just the parking at the end of the run.

 

I will keep an eye on it :)
