I have noticed it is quite boucey and squeaky - anyone have any ideas what problems might this point to?
The other thig that seems wird to me is the fan. It works on all 4 speeds (not much oomph though) but if the fan is on when it goes into reverse, the fan goes into a sort of 'boost' mode then goes back to normal when out of reverse ??
Last question is engine oil - the car had covered 134,000 - what oil should I be using, does good quality 10/40 meet the VW 500.00 spec?
Many thanks if anyone can help me on any of these matters.

I dont have a Skoda, but my mum has an 08 Fabia Sport. I just thought I'ld try and find out on here if there are any direct replacement media systems that would fit her car? I dont mean a regular double din with a facia, I mean any made to measure after market units.

Ideally, I want to get her something that has sat nav and more importantly, a reversing camera built in. I have had a quick look at the ZENEC E>GO unit, but it doesnt list the Fabia as a compatible vehicle I dont know if this can be confirmed?

If it's unsuitable, are there any other units that members could recomend?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
