What's up with my Fabia?
Hi I have a Skoda fabia 2006 1.4 automatic and it has been parked for 5 months now but it has been started maybe twice a week but it has developed straight lines in the dash where you can see the gears PlRlNlDl3l21 these lines have appeared in between the letters and numbers they have never appeared before is this dangerous?
Our answer:
Hi Barry,
We can't find any information on this as a common fault, so we assume it is caused by something to do with the battery condition, which would fit in with your described use of the car. It needs to be more than just started; it needs to be driven regularly, or plug a battery conditioner into it.
