Hi, I'm new here, but I had a 2009 fabia estate for 12 years. I have just bought a Fabia 2016 estate 1.2 TSI SE L DSG, and after a couple of days I can see I have much to learn and I'm sure this forum is the right place to look for answers.

    Welcome to Briskoda @Coldfeet1969 We had a 2016 Fabia estate but it was only a little 3 pot diesel. Still a decent car mind. Until SWMBO reversed it into a skip crumpling the boot lid D
    Hope you find the info you need and welcome to the community thumbup

    You have to watch out for those killer skips. They hide in trees and only leap out behind you when they see you reversing ...

    Problem was SWMBO was relying on the parking sensors and display. The sensors didn't pick up the higher part of the skip doh
    No substitute for using the mirrors IMO shake

    It sounds like your Fabia wasn't fitted with the optional AGL reversing sensors, which would have detected the aerial skip as it swooped.

    "optional AGL reversing sensors"? I want two of them! 😊

    My mother watched a fellow lady golf take the front wing off another car while at the golf course one day. She was watching the reverse camera while backing into the space and not looking in the wing mirrors. Didn’t see the car on the other side…
