I brought a new Fabia III in October last year. So far I am very happy with it . The only problem I have is the speakers cut out occasionally. The speakers make a load noise and then stop working. I have checked the Stereo and it is still working (the stereo controls still work). The only way to get the speakers working again is to turn off the engine and remove the key. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Also I read a thread on here about a Anti-Hijack device. Is this fitted as standard on a Fabia III and if so how do I get it activated?

take it back and get it sorted, that shouldnt be happening.

Will tell them about it when I book it in for it's first sevice next month. I was just wondering how common the problem is.

I had that happen to me once as well - same cure

ask them to turn the anti hijack on next time it goes in for anything at the dealers its only a computer setting.

It only takes a couple of minutes, the doors lock over 20kph and unlock when you take the key out of the ignition.

Only downside of it, when you remove the ignition key it only unlocks the drivers door, perhaps this is changeable, but useless if you have kids!

Use the unlock button or get broken door handles, i am just waiting for one of mine to get snapped off.

on the other hand you can get vagcom and fiddle with all sorts of setting to your heart's content...
