I have just bought a 2018 Fabia 3 SE L and find when you swith off the ignition with the a window down you can't put the window up unless the ignition is switched on.

Is there a seting to overcome this?

Thanks

Not in the car, whether there is using a higher level VW program scan tool I don't know but I'd have thought if it was available it'd be available on a SE L model.  If you have a VCDS, and it is possible to do you could ask where to find the bits on it to do this on the 'Diagnostics & VCDS' forum. - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/23-diagnostics-amp-vcds/

 

Or if someone is near you with a VCDS and it can be done they may be able to do it for a beer token, here is a map of Briskoda members with such scanners. -  Briskoda VCDS Owners Map (click me)

Not available on SWMBOs Mk3 SE-L Fabia either, ignition needs to be on.

Thanks for the replies. Seems a backward step when you consider in the MK2 you had the ability to close the electric windows unless the passanger door had been opened.

Needing the ignition on to open or close windows really annoys me (I'm used to wind-up anyway) on my neighbour's car I can open and close the windows with the remote keyfob on locking and unlocking the doors.  I can't stand getting into a solar gain heated car I want the windows or doors open to lose the excess heat before I get in the car (and glass roofs covered over).

 

Why VWŠkoda Fabia Mk3s don't have the facility is beyond me not doubt they have their reasons, good or bad.
