Shouldn't be a problem now that you've eliminated the root cause of the vibration Kharl. The genuine one does appear to be a bolt:

Screw M8x50 genuine part N0195433 (skoda-parts.com) 

Correctly tightened in this application I wouldn't think there's much difference.

Good morning guys, i have a question is there a section for buy or selling parts in this page?

 

i want to get the AC air vents of my Fabia, they are destroyed (i purchased it as it) and that will be the biggest upgrade to its interior since it look TERRIBLY ugly with those big hole facing to the occupants...

 

But they are extremely difficult to find in my country and once they  appear, they cost a fortune.

 

i use a forwarding mail service so i receive my merchandise in Florida United States because shipping to my country is expensive and unreliable.

 

 

Or, has anyone has a spare kit that could give me a good price  lol?

You'll want to place an advertisement in the 'Items Wanted' section, below.

Shows how tough they are really, though.

I can see you are a risk taker by how few spare tyres you have on the roof! 😆

Since i have to cross thru national parks at 2am to save time during the day since most of my meetings are at 11am... and many night travel crossing very hostile zones and hours from civlization

 

My standar equipment in my Fabia consist of:

Spare tire, Tire inflator/sealant, electric air pump, tire repair kit, metric tools from 8mm to 18mm (ratches and wrenches), screw drivers, allen keys, torx bits for the screw drivers, a spare belt, gallon of destilled water, swimming fins, swimming shorts, soap, towel, swimming gogles, a tent, two fire extinguisher, one first aid kit, ropes, tow tools, tie racks, no.12 wire for any electrical issue, a multimeter, swiss knife, a Machete (dont ask why, i just like how it looks) two flashlights, 120w inverter, solar trickle charger, insect killer, torch gun, with 3 cartridges, an umbrella? a jump star cable, a jump starter, a life saver (my partner doesnt know how to swim) and a shirt, pants, underwear and shoes.. all very well acomodated and distributed between the front sas, the golve box and the trunk, visible only the gallon of destilled water, the life saver the jump starter and the bag with swimming stuff and the tent, so the trunk is clean and empty lol

 

 

And some times i take the power generator with me

^ Wow

Better kitted out than Indiana Jones. I'm very impressed that all this fits nicely in a Fabia, mind you. 

Kharl your an absolute hard nut - Your prep is like summit out of an intercontinental challenge! 

 

I'm going to a breakers here in the next few days so I'll see whats on offer - I take it that its the centre and 2 side vents you need ? 

 

This breakers is still a traditional type - even has an alsation guard dog with a starter motor around his neck during the day so he can't attack the customers !!

 

 

Some centre vents here.....

thabk you a lot, yea i already talked to that seller he will prepare some discounts for me20GBP for shipping for the three to US

an update.

 

I installed a voltmeter, i am not expecting to run on battery again (which a voltmeter would be extremely useful so i know when to stop) but it i do lot of camping where i need to power many devices using the car, so, a voltmeter is very useful for me.

 

uhmm.. thats actually the fog lights switch, in the small blank space at the right of that switch i installed an even smaller switch for the voltmeter.

 

i got a voltmeter screen the thinnest one in the market, and i fit it in another blank button and then put a tinted plastic over it so it looks like a small screen,

 

 

it is powered by the first contact of the key, so it is off if the key is out.

 

 

 

(yes, the ac vents are still pending)

Looks good 👍
