|  polo gearknob on a fabia hi guys ive seen a polo gearknob on a popular volkswagen parts website, and i was wondering will it fit a 2000 skoda fabia 1.4 mpi classic? its sais it fits vw polo 6n from 95-01 or 6n2 from 01-02. I just wondered if it would fit my fabia as it looks smart and is a good price at £24.01 included vat. here is the picture of it  thanks again dan |

| Re: polo gearknob on a fabia I'll be the first to pitch in, The Fabia shares it's platform with the 9n Polo, But that's not to say it'll not fit. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along soon with a definitive yes or no.

| Re: polo gearknob on a fabia yes ive heard many people on here say its a 9n platform, but my fabia is a 2000 x reg, i thought the 9n versions were more like 01 or 02 plates? that was all i thought though, im probably am wrong! thanks for the quick replies. i hope someone can shed some light on this because i think it would look quite smart  |

| Re: polo gearknob on a fabia Yes, the Fabia came before the 9N polo so technically Mike is correct.

| Re: polo gearknob on a fabia The Fabia gear **** is integrated with the gaitor and the surround which goes in the centre console. I suspect if you are handy with some glue that gear **** could be made to fit your existing Fabia surround by removing the fabric/leatherette from the surround and reattaching the Polo **** fabric/leatherette to it. You have to lift the trim up and lift the gaitor over the ****, and you will have to release the clip holding it onto the shaft. It should then be clear what you need to change. I recommend replacing the metal clip with a suitable jubilee clip. EDIT - it really is about time kn0b was removed from the swear filter.
