Excellently put together video thanks. The engineering put into the door trims is simple but you have to get into the mind of the designer to avoid damage and you certainly help in this regard.
I think on my Ibiza one of those green clips is missing,one on the bottom. Once I was changing electronic lock on right back door and probably man in Skoda service where I went to change the lock didn't put it properly back or even it has nothing now in that place...but it is not making any sound. Now you gave me an idea how to check this in the summer but first need to find where to buy those green clips...video is great,very good to know 👏👏👏 dr for Fabia 👍
7:50 It definitely was! Because there is a silicone seal on that silver metal part (sorry, I dont know the name in English). There is a water leak in every single Fabia haha. This video will be used 99% by people who need to reseal it haha. Did mine last summer.
Very nice. I have a problem with that exact door deadlocked with no possibility of opening. Most tutorials on RUclips rely on the lock eventually working once the inner regulator assembly is removed to open the door and replace the lock, but that doesn't seem to be my case, it simply won't budge and apparently there's no way to remove the lock in situ. Would be nice to have your insight on how to actually open the door assuming the lock motor is burnt out.
Thanks. Have you tried banging the handle on the outside hardish a number of times. This can work to detach the short cable back in to enable the lock to open. Once open don't close it until you have fixed the issue. WD squirted around the handle also will help. Bummer of a problem, I know. Have a look at: ruclips.net/video/suB-n30YJHg/видео.html Let me know if this helps and you finally get it open :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey sadly, no amount of banging on the door helped. The servo motor seems to be the culprit, but then it would be possible to open the door manually, which cannot be done as well. It's dreadful because being a later car, the inner regulator assembly is held by rivets. I've taken the car to a local locksmith who couldn't open the door. Only solution according to him is to order a new lock and basically destroy the old one. Since I don't want to subject the car to that sort of percussive maintenance yet, I'm still locked out.
Thanks for these amazing videos bro they helped me a lot. I have a question for you I really appreciate if you share your ideas. I have a Skoda Fabia MK1 01, when I try to open tailgate when the car is locked, all door locks are unlocks and locks immediately. What could be the problem?
any idea on if i can put an aftermarket central locking system in it, mine doesn’t have one and I’m wondering if there is enough space to put the motor in for it
You could get the central locking control module, wiring looks and wire that in along with motorised locks then adapt the CCU to accept it. You would need detailed wiring diagrams for both cars.
El módulo de cierre centralizado está ubicado debajo del espacio para los pies del lado del conductor, cerca de la unidad HVAC en los automóviles con volante a la derecha. Se puede comprarlo en un desguace :-)
Its not on the theme but iv got a question. I have the same car as you. And it runs great. Till I stopped to refuel and after that it started cranking before its starts. It did never before that. I'd go to Skoda service but im stuck in another country. Any advice
Could be a number of things, failing battery/weak fuel pump/fuel pipe leak/fuel filter/blocked EGR and flapper/glow plugs and wiring/vacuum leak/change of fuel (winter/summer). I would try and have the car check for faults when it is doing it if you can.
Thanks for another great video, man! I also have a question about my 2003 Fabia. If the cabin light switch doesn't work very well (the light only turns on if I have a door open and the switch in a very specific position, kind of jammed a bit), do I have to replace the whole piece or just the switch? Also if you know the part numbers by any chance. Thank you!
You maybe able to dismantle it and fix the issue, I'll have a look for you, but the whole unit replacement with : 3B0947105C with side reading lights and: 6Y0947105 without.
just wanted some advice Mr Hatboy, i removed a uk car drivers front door card today off a skoda superb estate 2010 elegance model as i wanted to add some sound proofing, i was quite suprised to see there was no "plastic see thru membrane" , usually held on with that black tar glue stuff, just wondered if you`ve ever removed a mk2 superb drivers front door card and if so, was the plastic membrane in situ or do they not come with that anymore ?
I haven't done that yet, but, good question, i remember they used to put those on earlier cars to stop water ingress. May be they believe the issue has been fixed, but I have seen many cars with this problem and the fabia MK1 is only the first one :(
Thanks for the effort making this video, i now know exactly how to remove it for fixing my water leakage through the metal doorplate behind it 👍
Thanks, you're very welcome :-)
The level of detail of this video is absolutely crazy! Thank you so much, i'm subscribing! :D
Welcome aboard my friend, glad you like my content and hope to help you with your car stuff :-)

Thanks, very true indeed :-)
Good work👍. Will keep this in mind, may need it one day.
Great work and presentation as always!
I appreciate that, many thanks

All I can say about the clips is, don't get the cheap ones as they aren't as good and break easier.

Yes, but only half right as I didn't need to take the whole panel off from the top to fix the water leak :-)
Very useful thank you, especially the handle and the speaker releases 👍
Thanks, my pleasure, no problem 👍
Great video love the channel. How do i change a quarter window. Have you a video on that
I have that one to do, thanks for asking:-)

Probably the microswitch in the drivers door lock.
Thank you I’ll watch your video about door lock again. But I don’t know if I can handle it myself:)
Merci beaucoup 👍
Je Vous en prie :-)
Great video once agsin
Thanks again, glad you enjoyed it :-)

what size is that rear small speaker? 10cm ?
Tweeter 25mm large speaker 165mm
I’m from Spain and I’m looking for the lock indicator system coz my car is missing it and it does lock. But I can’t find anything where to buy it.

Hello can you disassemble and clean the expansion valve?
I may do this sometime, but my AC is working fine at the moment.
@@HatBoyHarvey thanks
Thanks. Not much things left to disassemble in Fabia. You have to move to the engine compartment.
Thanks for the tip, will do:)
@@HatBoyHarvey maybe change all the rubber vacuum hoses. There are chances to fail in tdi engine.

@@HatBoyHarvey Thank you so much!
Yeah, pull it out carefully and clean all the contacts with isopropyl alcohol. If the wiring is ok, this should help. At least it helped me.
What does the oil on the panel channel do please
Hopefully help ease the panel off/on a little.
I think the panel has been disassembled before, I can see that you have sealed the inside
Yes, but only half right as I didn't need to take the whole panel off from the top to fix the water leak :-)
super

@@HatBoyHarvey thanks anyway
what silicone to seal the rear door with?
I just used general silicon, nothing special, but something with anti-fungal properties would be good.
I think every fabia owner has done this at some point haha
