| What is it? 3 beeps on startup Hi Fabia VRS on the odd occasion just after start up I get 3 warning beeps from the car there are no lights on the dash and there is no obvious running problems. Its the same noise that you get when your washers run out. I have checked the hand book but it dosnt help. What is it?? Cheers |

If it's already below 4oC when your driving the car, It won't happen I don't think. You have to be in the car when it's above, then once it drops, the beep's will happen. | |

| Re: What is it? 3 beeps on startup Did anyone ever find out what causes this? I have no fault codes, No lights on the dash and its 14c degrees so its not the low temperature warning. Does it with my handbrake off as well so its not the low brake fluid warning beep(light doesnt appear). Anyone? |

| Re: What is it? 3 beeps on startup Bump... anyone resolved the 3 beeps issue? My Fabia VRS has done it a couple of times just recently. Is not the usual low temperature, fuel level or washer fluid. |

| Re: What is it? 3 beeps on startup I was having 3 beeps when starting up a few months ago and it was because my engine coolant was low but it did show a light on the dash that flashes.

| Re: What is it? 3 beeps on startup Could it be do do with the glow plugs warming. ie when it stops beeping they are hot enough for starting. My dads Octavia's have both done this.

| Re: What is it? 3 beeps on startup I think you'll find its a 'fault warning' for the abs system. Mine has done this on and off since new, and its been serviced/checked with no problems. Just a gremlin.
