hi guys ive seen a polo gearknob on a popular volkswagen parts website, and i was wondering will it fit a 2000 skoda fabia 1.4 mpi classic? its sais it fits vw polo 6n from 95-01 or 6n2 from 01-02. I just wondered if it would fit my fabia as it looks smart and is a good price at £24.01 included vat.

here is the picture of it

thanks again

dan

not sure as the fabia was built on the 9n platform

I'll be the first to pitch in, The Fabia shares it's platform with the 9n Polo, But that's not to say it'll not fit.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along soon with a definitive yes or no.

yes ive heard many people on here say its a 9n platform, but my fabia is a 2000 x reg, i thought the 9n versions were more like 01 or 02 plates? that was all i thought though, im probably am wrong! thanks for the quick replies. i hope someone can shed some light on this because i think it would look quite smart

Technically the Polo is based on the Fabia

Yes, the Fabia came before the 9N polo so technically Mike is correct.

But i dare someone to post that on a VW forum:D

I'm going to have a quick look on www.vagcat.com for you:thumbup:

right so is the fabia sort of a hybrid kinda a 6n and a 9n model of polo or something?

lol that would upset them, thanks chap ill check it out aswell and see what i can find

ive just registered on it, its very technical but they look similar but i dont have much mechanical knowledge!

Inconclusive, No matching or similar part No.'s

dam! is there any other gearknob that will fit?

though if you compare the 9n shift mec to the fabia's they're identical

hmm its a hard subject really im searching this forum right now as i message you back, some people on here have mentioned golf mk4 gearknobs also but i havent found any more info on this subject, i think i mite buy it and see if i can make it fit if not ill probably pop it on ebay and sell it

Nope, the 9N Polo is based on the Fabia. Nothing to do with the 6N.

so to answer your question of fitment, it will not fit your Fabia

thanks for the help guys

The Fabia gear **** is integrated with the gaitor and the surround which goes in the centre console. I suspect if you are handy with some glue that gear **** could be made to fit your existing Fabia surround by removing the fabric/leatherette from the surround and reattaching the Polo **** fabric/leatherette to it.

You have to lift the trim up and lift the gaitor over the ****, and you will have to release the clip holding it onto the shaft. It should then be clear what you need to change. I recommend replacing the metal clip with a suitable jubilee clip.

EDIT - it really is about time kn0b was removed from the swear filter.
