Makes it so simple. Speaks plain English. Unlike Yanks, keeps the dialogue to just what is necessary. This guy is simply the best!
I have used your videos for many years and it's thanks to your time, effort, detail and clarity I have the confidence to do the jobs myself - Thanks so much Harvey - my Fabia is kept going with your help !!
So nice of you to say that, I appreciate that working on cars is not always easy for the simplest most thing, so I like to capture that detail to be of help. I'm glad your fabia is still going strong :-)
Brilliant job as usual. Really appreciate the efforts you go to in making clear good quality videos. Did my first service on my Fabia last week and will be doing the rear springs and struts soon :)
Thanks stepzc, glad you like them, hope the rear suspension goes well :-)
HI i have the same car. Your videos are so easy to follow so well made. You explain really well to. Thank you for taking the time to make them. All the best to many thanks.
You're very welcome, Thankyou, glad you like them, hope to do more. These are great little cars :-)
These are excellent videos, well lit, photographed, with appropriate and well-timed commentary.
And the procedures used are clearly spot-on.
Should you not disconnect the battery, before starting this procedure, to prevent, in the worst case scenario, the air-bags firing ?
Should be on Erwin !
Beats anything VW and Haynes currently do hands down.
I need to do something like this as the motorised temperature flap went many years ago and the main dealer quoted £600 at that time to replace it at that time ! God knows what it will be now !
In the meantime, I've had to remove the 5 amp fuses nos F3 and F12 to stop an excessive battery drain at rest, caused, I suspect, by an electrical short in the temperature flap motor which prevented the EMU and convenience unit from powering down.
Thanks, really appreciate your kind critic. No the airbags are unaffected doing this, neither steering wheel nor crash board are taken out, if you did then you have to be careful. Yes did I not mention to take the earth lead off, oh I remember I was testing the flapper motor and control unit, but you are quite right, best to disconnect the battery for most electrical jobs. Thank for sharing the info on the EMU and flapper motor, fuses etc, will look into that as I seem to have a drain, but haven't found one as yet :-)
Great video besides the hideous music but that’s a minor can easily fix for another video 😂 thank you very useful
You're very welcome, glad you found my video useful, bar music (I no longer add background music) :-)
Thanks a ton, used this and the glovebox, driver's side dash and A pillar videos today, well filmed and informative!
Great to here they helped, thanks 👍
i follow the tip of hatboy about the dashboard sensor.i changed it and my AC work again.
So many thanks 4 years later finaly i got fresh air.on the cars with the stering whell on the left,the sensor is on the left side.
keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Thanks, appreciate you're comment, Glad it helped :-)
Fantastic - more power to you HatBoyHarvey...
Thank you, I'll take the power gladly :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey - You are more than welcome! I have a Skoda Fabia Mk1, also affectionately known as a 'Skoda-Ferrari' and have saved a lot of your videos which have been of immense help, so, keep keeping on HatBoyHarvey and more power to you...
I'm v happy you find my videos helpful/useful, Fabia is a great little car :-)
Really great job! Thanks again!
Hi, I like all your videos, but i would be greatfull if you would put one also where you get to the BCM unit ( comfort module) it is almost in the same place. Thanks !
Have a look at: ua-cam.com/video/HpPAoVx1wJk/v-deo.html @3.00 - as this shows you how to remove/replace it
Great video. Excactly this is what i am looking for. Thank you very much!
You are very welcome, hope the video helped a bit :-)
Brilliant and very instructive. Thanks!
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it :-)
Fantastic videos, ive used a lot if them and it's saved me a small fortune. Many thanks again. Any idea when you might be covering the heater flap motor repair or replacement. Min is blowing cold only need to get it fixed for the winter weather
Cheers and always appreciate the effort you make
Stu
Turning the knob to full cold/wait then to full hot/wait and repeat, repeat a number of times, then leave on hot, run the car, warm up and wait/hope it gets hot. This may get you a temp fix over winter or you can try to help move the flap by hand. I will make the video, thanks :-)
Thank You for this video👍👍👍
You are very welcome :-)
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
It is a superb video and tutorial. Thank you very much. I have a problem with the heater. It works only in OFF or HOT. So I think it could be the motor of the ventilations flap. What do you think?
Thank you for your kind appreciation, it is very welcome. in ans2Q: Maybe. Sometimes it takes a while to change from cold to hot or anything in the middle. Moving the lever fully hot or cold activates an override, so if It only works like this It may need replacing or just re-setting as the movement parameters are logged in a control unit which may have become corrupted. You could watch the motors action with the dash out/plugged in to check its function. I did this and found if you help it by hand a number of times it can free up and start to work again. Hope this helps for now as I will video this when/at some stage :-)
Can you explain more about "put the security code" plz?
When you disconnect the battery negative lead you will need to re-code your radio unit. The code is in your handbook (it should be)
Where the mechanical vent directors should be connected? Cant find any matching złota behind the blower control interface position
Further back towards the rear of the HVAC unit, hot/cold on passenger side and direction on drivers side.
Is it enough to remove the lower part of the dash to install the parts of a potintional AC or do I have to remove the dash completley?
Depends which parts, but most are accessible to replace/repair.
Just wondering if anyone knows of the cupholder he was mentioning in the video?
Thank you very much.It helped me.
Glad to hear that :-)
Hola buenas tardes
Te saludo desde Colombia
Una pregunta ese sensor que función tiene
Te agradecería tu respuesta
el mayor mide la temperatura del aire en las rejillas de ventilación del interior de la cabina reguladas por la perilla de control de temperatura de la unidad de control. :-)
Thanks for the video. This weekend I did a coolant and thermostat change based on your video about the topic. Sadly my heater is stuck on cold and I do believe that it is the flapper motor. I have a question. If the flapper motor is stuck on cold does the car NOT circulate hot coolant to the heater matrix in the dashboard? During the coolant change the car only took 4 liters while the old coolant almost filled a 5 liter bottle. If you wonder why I did a coolant change with broken flapper motor - I didn't check before and I didn't need hot air this summer... Another thing is that the coolant level sensor also does not work after the coolant flush. The good thing is that you got me covered on that topic. Anyway, I'm looking on UA-cam for other videos about the flapper, but noone films it like you do. I will look forward to seeing how you change it one day and compare to how I will do it in the next weeks. Winter is coming 😰
If you take a few panel off you can get to the flapper mechanism and help it turn to hot which controls the air either coming from outside or the heater core. The thermostat controls flow to the radiator. You have probably got an air lock in the coolant system somewhere, just squeeze the flex pipes while running and drive it around a bit and eventually the air will escape as long as the water pump is OK. When it gets warm all the pipes should feel warm if one isn't probably there is the air pocket.
@@HatBoyHarvey Thanks for the reply. This morning I drove the car for the first time and indeed as you said the coolant level dropped, so I topped it off twice. The coolant level warning lamp stopped illuminating, and the car started blasting hot air like never before.
In my defense I will say this: yesterday I did the following test: set the temperature to hot, turn the AC on, and after seconds the AC engages and super cold air started streaming. Turning the knob from hot to cold and back had almost no effect. This morning the same test: the knob functions as normal. I guess this flapper motor got unstuck, maybe due to the shacking of the car. I will be keeping a close eye on it. Anyway, thanks for the reply and many thanks for your videos. My Fabia has done 270000km and often things break or need replacing but I don't give up on it because it is so easy to repair with the help of your videos.
Thanks, nice to hear that you are up and running again for another 200,000 Km :-)
Thanks sir
Welcome :-)
can i remove the heater control panel without removing the centre console ?
I just did in the video didn't I?
Amazing thanks. Did you ever do the flapper motor video?
Haven't done that one yet, but it is on my todo list; cheers :-)
Please can You answer do you maybe have Video of heat core exchange in Škoda Fabia MK1, Thank You Very much in advance !
Sorry I haven't done one yet, but I I keep getting asked this so maybe I will have to at some stage. I take it yours is leaking and have to change it - you can maybe have some luck flushing it out from the pipes next to the bulkhead in the engine bay :-)
Hi
Have you made or are you planning to make a video about replacing the flapper motor control unit?
Yes, noted :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Awesome!!!
hi will be able to shoe how to connect the new radio or mp3 on this car please i am bit confused with the wires. thanks
Good question. Me too! it's not my expertise I'm afraid, sorry I must try harder and find out for myself to do a video on it as others have asked about fitting new radio/CD/MP3 players. Thanks for asking anyway :-)
Do you have a video on how to change and replace the Speedo on a Mk1 Fabia?
No, but I have one on taking it out. ua-cam.com/video/rEqad2PR0Lg/v-deo.html you will need to adapt a new speedo to the control module.
Please, if you can help for changing the Temperature Flap Motor . Mine stuck on Hot. Thank you.
Yes, I will cover this, it is a common fault with these, thanks ;-)
is the flapper motor for temperature control in the same place on a left handed fabia? Or is it always on the glove box side.
Good question, The flapper motor is on the left of LHD unit, also the evap and vent temp sensors are on the left.
@@HatBoyHarvey thank you very much for the response. I own a 1.4 16v AUB Fabia 6y3 and I always watch your videos. awaiting the one on the temperature flapper motor change. Currently having issues with it. It gets stuck on hot. Most people recommend taking it out and cleaning the potentiometer.
@@alexandrumarinescu1 this is the common issue. when you get to it try connecting power and run it from hot to cold a number of times helping it with your hand and a little silicone or electrical lube/cleaner :-)
My 2006 1.9tdi doesn't have any happy medium with the heat. If you turn the heat up even one notch it will go to roasting hot, no mix of warm and cold. I've read online this is just how the the heating system works but I don't remember this with my 2 previous Fabias. Does this sound normal to you?
No, the deviation flapper may be getting stuck or the motor. It sounds like the basic settings may have resorted to the overide default settings . The flapper motor often fails to opperate correctly, stutters and confuses the module. You can get the system checked with VCDS to do a BASIC settings run as a first port of call, which may fix the issue, but the flapper motor is known to become temperamental over long term use and may need replaceing (BASIC settings need to be run again). I had similar issue and will do a video on what I did and how I got mine working again :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey legend!
hola buenos dias me encanta tus videos tengo un problema el radiador de calefacion a fallado .quiero cambiarlo y no se demontar el salpicadero para llegar a el puedes realizar un video de como se desmonta te ceria muy agradecido .un cordial saludo dani pido perdon por no hablar ingles
Muchas gracias. Es un gran trabajo sacar el tablero, pero si la matriz
del calentador tiene fugas, se puede cambiar sin que desde abajo, creo,
nunca lo haya hecho en este automóvil. Si no recibe calor, tal vez sea
un sensor o el motor de la aleta o la unidad de control que necesite
reemplazar :-)
Hola gracias por contestarme te estoy muy agradecido .el radiador pierde mucho liquido refrigerante .ahora mismo lo tengo anulado pero se acerca el invierno y me gustaria cambiarlo por si lo necesito
Tienes un monton de videos de skoda fabia que demontas varias piesas del salpicadero pero no hay llegado tan lejos solo ventilador del habitaculo sensor de temperatura Consola central y un poco mas
Hello, maybe you know why on skoda fabia dashboard gas is not showing arrow ????
I would suspect the sender unit in the tank or associated wiring/connections accessed under rear seat :-)
Did u already change the sensor at minute 8? Or are the original one? I already changed mine, unless green hes brown. Hes he burned?
No, I did notice it was a little brown, but believe it to be OK as the system is still working. Maybe I should have changed it as it is of little cost and would have saved me taking the dash off again, but it is no trouble to me either way. Best the change it out to eliminate a system fault though :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey i changed mine and its brown. I wish it solved my problem with hot AC instead Cold AC.
@@danielruivo6642 Have you re-gased the system as they leak over time. Does it work just at the start then go off. pumps also fail so worth a check. I'm going to do an evaporator sensor video sometime which is hard to get to. Stay safe :-)
Hello my friend
TOday I remove the Minus of baterry and put it again but know I dont have lights in control panel when is AC and control of ventilator please can you help me how can i fix it Please
Hi, Sorry to hear you have an issue with your fabia. Why did you take the battery lead off? New Battery? or Is the issue likley to do with some other problem that you were trying to fix? Look at all the fuses that are connected with the control panel/ventilation/AC. Clean bat terminals/body earth strap. Take unit out and check/re-connect plug-in connectors, LED for panel etc, test dismantled. if no go then VAGCOM may help here to identify issue. Hope this helps :-)
Thank you my friend and seriosly i whach your clips with skoda fabia everyday for what i need i remove the battery to reset maybe the window left and right dont work anymore in my fabia they just stoped. But i find the problem one of fuse 5 AMP was blow upp i didnt know skoda fabia 2006 amibie te 1.2. 12V have 4 fuse just for lights i didnt know why just one .
Thnx a million times for your time
Hi. I can't find the bulb for climate control, please help.
If you have the light flashing you may just need the car re-gased. What exactly is wrong with the CC?
@@HatBoyHarvey i just wanted to change the bulb, i don't have any lights on climate control panel
If the climate control screen doesn't light up then it is likely the whole unit will need replacing unless you are an electronics expert. If it is just an aircon model then pull the middle dial and the bulb is behind that. pull out the bulb with a small tube that grips it. Hope this helps :-)

Please help...
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your great videos about Skoda Fabia mk1.
If not @HatBoyHarvey maybe someone else will know.
I was removing the centre dashboard in Skoda Fabia mk1 following this video, and by accident removed the "flex shaft for controlling the temperature - left knob"
I noticed that in the video that this part was not even connected so assuming @HatBoyHarvey have removed it before making a video, he only disconnects the "flex shaft for positioning of airflow - right knob"
Does anyone know where this flex shaft for temperature adjusting - left knob should be connected to, inside the car? If so, please pm me.
ibb.co/YpBT9dj (picture of the flex shaft for controlling the temperature)
You're very welcome. Sounds like you have a manual temp control which in some respects is lucky as the flapper motor version controlling the heater/ventilation flap often become temperamental over time. If you look deep into the dash near the back of the fan unit you should be able to see the vent/heat flap and control unit it came from. I've not seen one, but it should be similar to the right hand distribution flap. Hope you get this sorted;-)
Can removing the lower dash give access to the AC evaporator for replacement? Or must the entire upper dash be removed as well? Thank you.
No, it is behind the unit next to the bulkhead, so the whole air conditioning unit has to be removed. What is wrong with the system? The evap sensor can be replaced though and will be doing a video on this.
@@HatBoyHarveyThank you for the reply. My evaporator core has a leak and needs replacing. The workshop said the whole dash has to be removed.
@@ClintLoh Yes, unfortunately that is correct and may charge a lot to do it. I would get a fixed price for doing it from them first or think about doing it yourself. Although quite daunting it is still just another unfastening job. I assume the AC is now empty so no need to have that emptied at the garage. You will need to reset the airbag etc afterwards through OBD2 :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Thank you sir.
