|  Dashboard dimmer switch We have a Fabia level 3 1.4 TDi. Excellent car, and as a 3 cylinder diesel it pulls very well and is smooth and quiet once it gets rolling....... However what I can't find the the dimmer switch for the dashboard illumination..... would normally expect a vertical wheel type item next to the rotary light switch on the right of the steering wheel. Anyone else with the same issue ?? |

| Re: Dashboard dimmer switch I think all Fabia II owners has the same issue.. They have skipped the brightness adjustment of the dash illumination on the new Fabia (to save money? ) I found this annoying at first, but have gotten used to the "bright" light now. Enjoy! Jon A |

| Re: Dashboard dimmer switch VW Fox doesn't have a wheel but you alter brightness via '0' milage dial on dashpod itself. Could Fabia II be the same?? Just a thought...

| Re: Dashboard dimmer switch Haven't found a way to do it but like others think I've adjusted to it now. This is one of only a couple of faults found with the car - the other is that the AC button doesn't light up that well in bright sunshine so very hard to tell if you've got the Air Con on or not! |

| Re: Dashboard dimmer switch They did this with the first Octavia II back in 2004. The first cars did not have a dimmer switch for the instruments, only a headlight switch. Now if you look inside any Octavia II they both have the two switches. Fabia IIs might follow suit later. |
