| digital bargraph fuel guage / fuel warning light I am drivng a loan car at the moment (fabia 1) with some little petrol engine. Yesterday I put some more fuel (£4!) into the car, and the digitial guage showed the bottom block full, and half of the next block full, but still the warning light was on. This makes it a bit harder for me to work out exactly how many miles I have left in the car. Therefore when does the fuel light actually come on in the car? Is it when it had two complete blocks left on the guage? |

| Re: digital bargraph fuel guage / fuel warning light unfortunately the garage have given me some petrol thing with only 3 cylinders :-( I would consult the owners guide/manual, but that is no where to be seen! |

| Re: digital bargraph fuel guage / fuel warning light You've hit on the one area with the new Fabia 2 (and Roomster 2) that Skoda has simply got wrong. Presumeably to save money they have taken away the circular fuel and temperature gauges and replaced them with a horrible LCD scale thingy for the fuel and a warning light for the engine temperature. I was in the fortunate position of ordering a Fabia 2 for 1st September and I ordered the Maxidot computer upgrade and the proper dials come as part of that option. I am really glad I did because every time I have had a courtesy car it seems to be the '2' spec Fabia or Roomster and I simply hate the dash instruments! I realise people probably get used to them but I'm afraid I can't take to them at all.
