Hi,

The resistor on my 1.9 estate has gone, and only works number 4 settings. The threads I have read here has been very useful, thanks to all.

The problem is I can't get the replacement part from my local parts dealers (not even GSF). Please anyone knows where I can buy it (even 2nd hand) and how much it cost.

Many thanks

I don't understand why you can't get it. What reason do they give?

None in stock for my model

But if you place an order they will get you one.

Well my local dealer is a bit reluntatant, and others saying it might take a while. So I left with little choice but look elsewhere that has one in stock.

Thanks guys I will try an online shop

Try another dealer. If yours won't get you such a simple part then there isn't a great amount of hope. Unless he said he didn't have it in stock and you didn't ask him to order it.

When you say local parts dealers I am assuming you've been to a Skoda dealers to ask.

What they are saying is that they really don't do this part, and my local Skoda dealership have non in stock and can't say when they can get one. I'm avioding driving miles to other delship just to get this part.

I'm guessing I can't get a match for it other than Fabia, right?

Wrong, the skoda dealer may not have that part in stock but if you ask, he will have it for you by 09:00 next morning (unless you are in outer mongolia then it may be around 12:30)

The same part is used agross the VAG group, and as I said earlier, all seat vw audi dealers may carry it or have it AM next morning,

All motor factors will have it usually about £28 including the VAT and it takes about thirty minutes to fit

I got the part OK - can anyone tell me where the part has to be fitted e.g. behind dashboard/under bonnet Any diagrams? I need something to get a quote for the labour time my friendly garage will charge I have ordered the Haynes manual but would like to see if I can get a easier guide It's an 03 plate Fabia Standard Saloon model

Here,you will read how and where along with pictures of it all

You can use search on this site and all the repair diagrams and info is there

Time for an amateur thirty minutes, time for a professional 90 minutes (elf and sfty see)

The Haynes manual will point you in the right direction, but will take you the professional

route, first remove front seat, to remove front seat, remove rear seat, then remove centre console

etc when if you are not elf and sfty concious ie you may get a scratched back of hand, Drop the glove box and fish, remove replace refit glove box

Awesome Thanks! I assume that the "noisy fan" method is the same way in to the resistor?
