Man, I just wanted to say thank you for these videos. I can tell you put a ton of effort into filming every part of the repair, and it's seriously helpful. Your videos are super educational, and they’ve really taught me a lot. Keep doing what you’re doing!👍

Thank you, I appreciate that so much as life is hard for me ATM :-)

Great! That is a great lesson to learn that all solder terminals of the pcb should be reflowed in an repair. But pressure washing it is a big No No in car engines. I clean mine with a degreaeser and a rag before annual inspections, because i do not have the under cover on.

Thanks, I'm stupid sometimes, getting carried away with the pressure washer, but it turn out not to be that.. Following a fairly logical diagnostic sequence proved to work in the end :-)

I have seen that same problem in other Fabia models, of the same era. Looks like it's a very common problem. Very nice work, as always, mate!!!

Thank you and you have quite rightly pointed out a notable prevalence in the number of Mk1 instrument clusters that suffer these dry solder joints on the connector terminals :-/

Yet another great repair - and for someone who says he doesn't know how to solder, that was a pretty good first attempt! 🤓👍

@HatBoyHarvey 2 ай бұрын

Thanks 👍 second attempt on this actually, as I did the immobilizer a few years back and I'll humbley agree with your kind words it's a pretty good effort. And importantly it works! :-)

Superb, now one request please go and buy a Skoda Yeti 2.0tdi, 4x4, 2011, Dsg auto, so you can assist all of us that will need your expertise on these ageing cars soon. Cheers, 👍🍻

Thanks, the Yeti is a great car, never driven one, but eminently practical. The elegance one has all the bells & whistles. You know, many things are similar across the whole VAG group range :-)

Good video. Great effort in disassembling the cluster.

@HatBoyHarvey 2 ай бұрын

Thanks, I'm no electronics wizard, but I did enjoy being able to diagnose and fix this. I soldered the immobilizer connections on the other connector some years ago, so I had that in the back of my mind after eliminating stuff in the engine bay. I was convinced I'd done something when pressure washing the engine bay!

Thanks for another great video. You show a good diagnostic approach and a lot of patience. I will certaintly remember this if my Fabia conks out that way, it looks like a fairly common fault. Also thanks for that tip to use solder flux.

@HatBoyHarvey 2 ай бұрын

You are very welcome, glad you liked it. The flux is the key to it working, without it, it doesn't flow right. I think many old fabias may suffer this type of electrical fault :-)

Very good and also brave to work on a electrical cluster any other person would be off to the breakers yard

@HatBoyHarvey 2 ай бұрын

Thanks, ordinarily I would have done that, but I would have to learn how to programme the immobilizer code stuff to my key and ECU and I've never done that. In the end I did a repair that most guys could do with a bit of care which helps more people save fabias :-)

Hey nice work there! I had a question does the whole dashboard from pre-facelift fit on facelift model?

@HatBoyHarvey 2 ай бұрын

Thanks. I would think so as they don't change the body shell, just bumpers and lights. It was just the instrument cluster change and dash/glove-box all black as far as I know ;-)

@dacha911 2 ай бұрын

can u do some guide for first and reverse gear not working fine or with fan on intercooler? i got fabia mk1 and that's problems with it :D

@HatBoyHarvey 2 ай бұрын

Have a look at my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIuQf4CjnLhqnNk they are prone to this and more in winter as the gear oil thickens. No fan on intercooler, maybe you mean the condenser.

@joshuatalbot9610 Ай бұрын

Great video- really helpful. What would be your recommendation if the the speedometer appears sticky (between 0-40 mph it jolts into life)? Not sure if wd40 is the best option 😅

@HatBoyHarvey Ай бұрын

Sounds like the the speedo is toast. They are delicate magnets and spring devices and would be lucky to fix one IMHO. You may be able to transfer one from another board which may be the best option rather than try to re-programme a new instrument cluster.

Hi, can you please help and advice. My fabia suddenly brake lights stop working all the of them. Waring light on dash. Ive replaced glow plugs and also replaced the brake light switch. Checked the brake blub seemed OK, but I replaced them too. Still not working? What's your advice please? Thanks.

@HatBoyHarvey 2 ай бұрын

Have checked the fuse - No:02, second one down on the right. Could be a bad ground connection. Test for continuity/power at the various parts tracing back from lights or from fuse,

@miransalih1079 2 ай бұрын

@@HatBoyHarvey Hi mate. I did check fuse and continuity all was OK. But I took out the brake light switch and fit it back and turn engine on and light then brake using hand I heard some click than the brake light all came back On. Now the problem about the light is sorted. But the glow plug light still on dash this somthing I don't understand, why reset for this?

@HatBoyHarvey 2 ай бұрын

Glad you found the issue. Use a diagnostic tool to clear the light :-)
