vrs headlights - sorry being lazy

$

Its chucking it down outside and I need to order replacement headlight bulbs as one has gone.

http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/377671-for-sale-2013-63-fabia-mkii-vrs-estate-race-blue-metallic/?hl=%2Bfabia+%2Bestate#entry4455006

 

this is mine - are these the standard h7 bulbs and are these nightbreakers still a decent option?

 

 

On a different note I want some sort of rear bumper cover for the top surface to stop it getting marked with pushchairs and the like. Does anyone make one ready to fit?

 

Thanks

I couldn't find a wheels thread. There should be a wheels thread. Show me some badass wheels on some Fabias, guys.

Currently wanting to switch my gigaros for something else and need inspiration. While the gigaros are pretty cool (just wish I had the black ones instead of silver/black), I thinking of stepping down to 16" 'cause the roads around here are abysmal.

Does the 1.2 Greenline have a cam belt or chain, and if a belt, when should it be changed?

Automatic Windows not working through 1.6 TDI keyfob

Hi,

 

I've always been able to open and close the car windows through my keyfob, and it's suddenly stopped working. All the windows work from the buttons on the drivers door (auto close/open works) but now it doesn't do it through the lock/unlock button.

 

Anyone else had this issue?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Clutch connecting to first gear when foot all the way down.

Hello,
My fabia 06reg vrs seems to be on a cycle with the the clutch messing about. It'll be fine for ages then for a few days this happens:
I'll have the car in first at a junction ready to pull away with my foot all the way down on the clutch.... however I'll feel it connect first gear slightly and try and pull the car forward. If i try and take it out of gear I have to really yank the gear stick. And it clonks out of gear. If I am in a position to be able to move the car forward when this happens when it's moved a little way and I put my foot back down I can get it out of gear without having to yank it.
Does the clutch need bleeding? Or could it be something else? I don't want to mess up my gearbox!
Like I said sometimes I drive it and it's absolutely fine, then other days it does this!
Thanks.

Dear All,would you please advise
When starting the engine the RPM gauge showing 1000 then after a while when temp gauge in the middle the RPM showing 750.till now every thing is OK.
The problem if I drive for a while like 30km then stopped at traffic the RPM goes crazy up and down from 1000 RPM to 250 very crazy then stalled.sometimes it never happen during the day!!!
The same Failure can be reproduced easily any time by turning on the A/C while engine Idle and temp gauge in the middle the RPM goes crazy and engine stalled.
My question is which part or parts to be (checked,cleaned or replaced?

mid pipe removal with a milltek on VRS

Ok, have my milltek on my VRS which i love, but i am sorely tempted to remove the mid pipe as well.  Believe it or not Milltek system still keeps the standard mid box, so i am wondering if i should remove it for same size straight pipe and if anyone has done it.  Don't want it barry sounding but if i keep the standard downpipe then i just assume a bit more deep burble and popping.

 

Anyone done it with a milltek or other exhaust ( not standard of course)

starting problems

I have a 2015 TSI. Had to call the AA yesterday. The engine started then immediately stopped. Completely dead and no dash lights either, although other electrical things such as windows were working. The engineer checked fuses etc and could find no fault. He then tried disconnecting and then reconnecting the battery. The engine immediately started and everything was back to normal. I'll book the car in to be checked but I'm concerned that nothing will be found but that the fault will recur. Any ideas?

Power Steering Fluid Lid Stuck

$

The power steering has been dropping out for the past few days on my 07 Fabia 1.4 diesel. I decided to check the PAS fluid level after reading Tech1e's excellent post on the possible issues with PAS on the Fabia. I don't have VAGCOM at home.

 

Anyone who has tried this will know that the power assisted steering fluid reservoir is located underneath the battery! You can just about see the green lid under the battery plate on this photo. You can see the reservoir and pump on the right on this photo (photos from previous threads).

 

The PAS lid is a fluted one in my case. It is stuck fast and I can't move it, neither could anyone else I asked to try. There is no room to get a spanner or similar down there to assist as the reservoir is inset. Does anyone know of a device that would grip the lid and increase the leverage so that I can open it? The device would have to be vertical rather than the usual jar opener which is horizontal (if you see what I mean).

 

The PAS symptoms include -

PAS warning light comes on after 15-20 mins driving and PAS is lost

Headlights dim when the steering wheel is turned

No PAS and warning light comes on if car left for 4-5 hours, but then PAS works after 1 - 2 mins driving

Car alarm keeps going off

Hi guys,

 

I have a 14 plate vRS - recently moved into a cul-de-sac in January, for the past 2 months I've been hearing a car alarm, very intermittent happens during the day, and during the night, but haven't heard it at work....

 

You can say it goes off 3-4 times a day though. As we moved I didn't think nothing of it, until today, when I went outside and noticed that it was infact my car making these sounds.

 

The only change I've had to my car since February is I've had a Kenwood DNX521DAB installed by Skoda. It's been in and out the garage 3-4 times due to missing cables, and niggly things that needed to be done.. Do you think this is the cause of the issue? My only assumption is that as it goes off once in a while and not constant, I thought maybe a cat / dog has walked past it to trigger it. Are there any sensors within the unit to be aware of?
