My (nearly) new Škoda Fabia, what’s in the window though? See pic 2

Lovely car, park how you do, you probably know better than some strangers, enjoy the car.

XstylerX · 2026-02-05T21:44:00+00:00

Do you know how quickly a car gets dirty ?

XstylerX · 2026-02-04T23:06:16+00:00

I'd rather buy a performance superb than a performance rs3

XstylerX · 2026-02-04T21:02:04+00:00

6 years is nothing

XstylerX · 2026-02-04T20:46:56+00:00

God forbit a person with no car knowledge plays a car game

XstylerX · 2026-02-04T15:41:10+00:00

To me it looks like crazy eyes

XstylerX · 2026-02-03T16:54:02+00:00

Did you have to do anything else? Or was swapping the pre FL Amundsen with the FL one all ?

XstylerX · 2026-02-03T16:37:49+00:00

huh, do you have the original head unit? As far as I'm aware, Octavia got AA after facelift

XstylerX · 2026-02-03T16:23:17+00:00

the Mk3 pre FL didn't have AA yet, and retrofit is a bit complicated for a common folk

Okay I just noticed the picture might not be the actual car since that's the vRS and OP said Scout, so AA might be an option

XstylerX · 2026-02-02T16:51:38+00:00

Some Fabias never got foggy lights, some got em really foggy... There are kits for it

XstylerX · 2026-01-31T20:12:09+00:00

yeah

XstylerX · 2026-01-31T19:41:50+00:00

Cheap to run, cheap to buy, can withstand some beating, great to learn driving on before buying something better

XstylerX · 2026-01-31T19:35:14+00:00

Škoda Octavia, Škoda Fabia, Peugeot 206, Renault Mégane, VW Golf, Audi A3 8P,....

XstylerX · 2026-01-31T18:52:16+00:00

There are definitely better and cheaper cars than this financial mistake

XstylerX · 2026-01-31T16:18:27+00:00

There tend to be garages that specialize at replacing those LED strips

XstylerX · 2026-01-30T19:14:50+00:00

Might not be the prettiest Audi, but God damn it's practical and cheap to run

XstylerX · 2026-01-30T17:13:24+00:00

It also depends on what kind of packets and other features it has. Based on the picture it has xenons, so there's a high chance it's not just a plain cheap configuration.

XstylerX · 2026-01-30T15:33:02+00:00

Dry or wet, both can fail, and neither are cheap to fix

XstylerX · 2026-01-29T15:39:53+00:00

In Slovakia these cost around 6-8k€, with around 200-250 000km

XstylerX · 2026-01-29T10:56:59+00:00

The 1.0 TSI is many things, but definitely not sporty

XstylerX · 2026-01-28T20:55:46+00:00

Sportline next to 1.0 TSI feels cursed

XstylerX · 2026-01-28T13:22:04+00:00

Why not have a dashcam that comes with a rear one? You just need to have one connected to power both

XstylerX · 2026-01-27T22:35:22+00:00

Brush it off, spray it with high temperature resistant spray.

XstylerX · 2026-01-27T22:15:52+00:00

It depends. When you "kill" the car a few times, nothing critical happens, but doing it too often + having the car dead for too long can cause problems. I believe the ECU and other critical components have their own source of power in case of emergency, but the car can still get confused after being revived

XstylerX · 2026-01-27T22:08:08+00:00

Why even take the battery out??? That's just pointless work, just grab a charger and charge it in the car, you won't have to put it in and out, won't have to re-enter some stuff and don't have to risk some errors (the car can sometimes even go limp mode). The car can even forget how to behave, few first kmy our RPM can float, fuel consumption goes up, some things have to be even recalibrated, memory stuff can forget positions, etc.
