I discoverd your channel a few days ago & you helped me with so many different things! I can‘t even describe how grateful i am! If i had the money i would buy you some coffee but lives tough right now… Thank you for such informative videos! Best wishes from Austria! Jan :)
Hi @HatBoyHarvey, Thank you again for educating me with this detailed video. With help of your video I managed to change the lights and the brightness is amazing. The only problem is the small lights dim but don’t turn off. Am I doing it wrong? or something wrong with my car electrics. Could you please advise? Many thanks and Kind Regards!
We're the LED's CANBUS compatible? Use these instead of older LED's that retain a small amount of residual current. If you did and still a problem then check the wiring.
Upgrading to LED interior lights was the first job I did on my Dacia. From poor yellow light to bright and useful light for a couple of quid. Then I did the reversing lights.
@@kaiengland-xr7mp only if it's broken. Probably just a loose connection or bad ground. You need some way to test for voltage and continuity starting at the light.
I'd be interested to know how you get on with these. I tried fitting LED bulbs in the interior light a few years ago but had to remove them as it seemed to be causing a parasitic battery drain when the car was parked and locked.
@@zat-svi-carif this is the one in the middle centre of the roof then this clips in along the long sides, so that is where you would ease it out of it's holder frame in the roof panel. Later model rear side lights prize out from the 'O' end with light turned on.
mate if you can answer me i would appreciate it , the interior light flickers a little when the wipers are on when the interior light is set to position o why is it doing that?
The wipers induce a high voltage drop and if there is anything wrong with the circuit which it looks like the humble interior light is on then issues like yours could arise. Could be loose connections, bad earth somewhere as this car suffers from water induced electrical gremlins. you may find the issue occurs or gets worse when it is damp. have you changed to LED lamp that aren't CANBUS compatible?
And I don't think it's about tandem pump......one more thing can u send me here a clear foto of fuse position instruction because in the video it was not clear Plzzzz Guide me Sir with Ur experience very Grateful to you Sir...... waiting for Ur Answer Stay i blessing......
If you asked me before about an issue on another video I can't follow that thread on this visits I can't remember what I previously said. I can't easily find it. Please tell me on the original thread, tell me again, sorry :-)
Mate please I’m in need of some help, I am really struggling to get the side interior lights above back doors I can’t get them out to change them on my Skoda fabia
Turn the light ON - then use a flat bladed screwdriver at the 'O' end - push in centre, a metal clip behind is forced inwards and light will lift up. You then can pull out with your hand and disconnect connector. No need to force is.
Thank you, I ended up breaking one!! :( do you know where I can get a replacement? And also two replacement bulbs for them? As both bulbs were gone on both back interior lights lol
@kaiengland-xr7mp copy the part number into Google and there will be many. Lamps are festoon interior type - just measure the length. I don't have these lights so I don't know exactly, just make sure lamps are can-bus compatible.
There are many manufacturing these now and as long as they are can bus compatible to stop the flickering it can then often come down to price. Paying g a little more may be better, but not always.
@@HatBoyHarvey Yup, I wouldn't go with overpriced Phillips or Osram, which surely will perform well, but there are great products for reasonable price.
Hello sir plz guide me a little bit I m facing my Skoda fabia 2005 with starting issue I was just feeling power loosing when I accelerate and in idle position it was fine but when in idle mode I accelerate the RPM needle it's fluctuate a little bit but yesterday when I stopped at signal the engine just shut down.....I tried three times to crank but failed I think at 4th time it starts but after 500 meters it's shut down again plz guide me Sir is it about diesel pump or tandem where I have to start checking and how???
I had the same problem six months ago. Strangely enough, it disappeared on its own and hasn't come back yet. I'm still looking forward to an answer from our Fabia-Expert @HatBoyHarvey so that I can look into it too. 😊

Hi! My Skoda Fabia elegance 2001 model, all four doors has no indicator light on dashboard when it is open , what is the problem,, i hope my message is notice 🫡💪
When the door doesn't register it is locked it is almost certainly the micro-switch inside the door lock malfunctioning. Before replacing this it is also worth eliminating other possibilities of the wire damage behind the rubber bellows on the A piller, disconnect the bellows and examine wires for fraying. Also disconnect examine all the connectors there, clean reconnect. These are the most common faults it could be, so maybe start there. but it still could be something else, hope this helps :-)

Amazing video . Ty mate
Many thanks, glad you liked it :-)

None of my interior lights actually work except my red door ones, do you suggest a fuse change?

You need to use only can-bus adjusted led lamps to stop any issues like that.
i've got some 3000K ones as a kit for the 6Y's whole interior including the glovebox and the trunk. no battery drain issues here.
Hey Harvey 😁
Can you please show how to change the lights for the passengers in the back? 🙏🏻
Im struggeling 😅
There isn't any on a Mk1!
do you have an estate mk1 (6Y5)? the hatchback doesn't have them.

@HatBoyHarvey yes i bought cheap LED'S from Aliexpress maybe i should try the standard one . Thanks for your answer
Right that’s a lot better 👍
Too right! 👍

Best to look for better LEDs with no polarity. Those cheap ones are annoying hence they start flickering and burn out pretty quickly.
There are many manufacturing these now and as long as they are can bus compatible to stop the flickering it can then often come down to price. Paying g a little more may be better, but not always.

what`s this got to do with bulbs🤔🤔
Did I say bulbs :) I mean lamps. I must be getting confused with planting my daffodils :-)

now you need to clean your HEADLINING around your light......🙄🙄
Yes, but the whole headlining needs fixing, so will need to take it out in the near future and will clean it then :-)

I've never seen the open door dash symbol would you pm me with a pic?
