'scuse my tardiness at signing up - we've owned a Fabia 1.4 mpi (00 Y) for a good 18 months now and it hasnt missed a beat so far.

That said... I want to check the state of the battery so if someone could point me in the direction for readings(?) Noticed the power steerings getting a bit heavy and posts here suggest if the battery is kicking out enough juice can lead to this problem?!?

Many thanks

Neil

Hiya.

The battery should show over 12v with the engine off, and about 14v on idle with the electrics off.

Is the PAS on these car's hydraulic or hydro-electric?

A fully hydraulic system being heavy would suggest a low fluid level, or a slipping auxilliary drive belt as likely causes.

Hydro-electric would suggest fluid level again, or a low alternator output.

Intermittent power steering failure + ABS light linked to 12V socket?

Intermittent power steering failure + ABS light linked to 12V socket?

Mk1FabiaUser123 · 9 May9 May

Hi there, Just a question about an issue I've had on my mk1 Fabia 1.2 HTP with electric hydraulic power steering. The power steering was going intermittently so I replaced the pump with a used one which fixed the issue. However, the other day I was turning at low speed whilst my sat nav was powered from the 12v socket ("cigarette lighter") and the power steering just totally died, steering warning light came on and no steering assist whatsoever. I unplugged the charger from the 12v socket and

Insane Automatic brake when reversing

Insane Automatic brake when reversing

Rj85 · 10 April10 Apr

The automatic brake “safety” system on my 2024 Kodiaq is insane. It slams on for the slightest thing when reversing, thinking things like kerbs or people nowhere close to danger present an imminent emergency. There’s no warning and the severity of the brake almost gave my wife whiplash and my elderly mother almost had a heart attack. This happens regularly. I can find the option to disable the front emergency brake but not the rear. Is there a way to disable the system? I’m already looking at ot

Hi All, 2017 150 diesel 4x4 DSG, with about 70,000 miles on it. Repeated tyre pressure warning, but a gauge confirms the pressures are all correct? Any thoughts, please?

2026 Kodiaq Sportline - Lane Assist / Travel Assist activation possible?

sslizz22547 · 3 June3 Jun

Hello, I own a 2026 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline. Lane Assist / Travel Assist / Traffic Sign Recognition appear to be disabled. The car appears to have the required driver assistance hardware, but these functions are not active. I am looking for someone who has successfully activated these features on a 2025/2026 Kodiaq, either remotely or in a workshop. Has anyone managed to activate Lane Assist, Travel Assist, or Traffic Sign Recognition using ODIS online, SFD/SFD2 access, OBDeleven, VCDS, VCTool, o

Door Umbrella

Johngerard · 2 hours ago2 hr

Neigbour with a Fabia Mk4 called me recently, his drivers door and the rear (right) passenger doors were partly open with what looked like a stainless steel rod jamming the two doors in their partly open/closed positions, to make a long story short, it was the door umbrella that apparently had shot out somehow or other and jammed the two doors, he had partially opened the back door to let his dog out I think and had let his own door partially open, or something like that. The car was still unde
