Just to let all of you know !!,Ihave owned a skoda now for 8 years first one an octavia.Now driving a Fabia 1.4 estate with no major problems until new years eve when it would not start and dash completely dissapeared from view ie no lights nothing,car would start for a split second and die.Got towed to local garage which we use 2 days later they admitted defeat and suggested we take it to a skoda dealer as they could not fix it(didnt charge us anything though).Got car towed to skoda winchester after 2 days we got a phone call saying the coil reader in the dash had gone quoted 460 pounds would be done next day ace,got a phone call that day saying that was not the problem it was the battery which they changed and it burst back into life, so be aware of this if you get the same symptons.
