must be shortened.
„Severe conditions“ exist, for instance, if the vehicle is operated continuously in one or several of the conditions
stated below:
♦ Towing a trailer or when fitted with a roof rack.
♦ Operated on dusty, poor, muddy roads or roads treat-
ed with road salt.
♦ Driven for short distances and at ambient tempera-
tures below freezing point.

please advise your customer whether it is necessary
to have work carried out between the normal service
intervals, such as:
♦ Changing the engine oil before the normal specified
interval.
♦ Cleaning or replacing the air filter element in the air fil-
ter housing.

Inspecting engine oil level
When inspecting, pay attention to the following points:
Before inspecting, warm up the engine to normal temper-
ature.
Wait at least 3 minutes after switching off the engine to al-
low the oil to flow back into the oil pan.
FABIA 2000 ➤ Inspection and Maintenance
– Withdraw dipstick, wipe off with a clean cloth and re-
insert dipstick fully.
– Withdraw dipstick once again and read off oil level.
Fig. 1: Oil dipstick version I
Fig. 2: Oil dipstick version ll
The oil level in area -a-
– The oil must be topped up. It is sufficient when the oil
level rises to the area -b-.
The oil level in area -b-
– The oil can be topped up. It is possible that the oil level
will rise to the area -c-.
The oil level in area -c-
– The oil must not be topped up.
Note
♦ The oil level must not, under any circumstances, be
above area -a- - danger of damage to the catalytic
converter.
♦ The vehicle must be standing on level ground when
measuring the oil level. Wait a few minutes after
switching off the engine to allow the oil to flow back
into the oil pan.
Change engine oil
Note
♦ The engine oil should always be changed, if possible,
when the engine is at normal operating temperature.
♦ If the engine oil is drained, replace the seal of the oil
drain plug.

Inspecting antifreeze protection, replenishing coolant additive if necessary
WARNING!
Coolant additives are toxic!
Do not inhale coolant vapours, do not swallow
coolant, avoid contact with skin and eyes; hazardous if consumed!

♦ Collect drained coolant for proper disposal.
♦ Observe the disposal instructions for the drained cool-
ant.

– Extract a small quantity of coolant with the pipette and
place on the measuring glass. Hold unit against a light
source and read off the temperature down to which
antifreeze protection exists on the scale for ethylene
glycol.
Note
♦ Antifreeze protection must be ensured down to about
-25 C.
♦ Down to about -35 C in countries with an arctic cli-
mate.
♦ If a greater antifreeze concentration is required for cli-
matic reasons, the concentration may be increased up
to 60 % (i.e. antifreeze protection down to about -40
C). Any further increase in concentration increase
would reduce the antifreeze protection and impair
cooling efficiency.
Replenishing coolant additive
02
Note
♦ Coolant additive G12 - red in colour, complying with
standard TL VW 774 D, must not be mixed with other
coolant additives which comply with standard TL VW
774 C(B) -bluish-green in colour-. If these two coolant
additives are mixed the coolant will turn brown. Brown
coolant must be drained immediately, the cooling system flushed out with drinking water and filled with
fresh coolant. If this is not done the engine and cooling
system may suffer damage.
♦ Coolant additives complying with standard TL VW 774
C (G11) -bluish-green in colour-, must only be used
for topping up on vehicles fitted with a cooling system
which is already filled with this coolant.
♦ Vehicles produced as of MJ 03 are filled with coolant
additive G12 PLUS which has a lilac colour and conforms with the standard TL VW 774 F.
♦ Coolant additive G12 PLUS must only be mixed with
coolant additives G12 and G11.
♦ Coolant additive G12 PLUS is recommended for use
on all vehicles when changing the coolant.
If the vehicle is filled with the recommended coolant and
the antifreeze protection is not adequate, drain part of the
coolant from the cooling system.
– After this, fill the cooling system with concentrated
coolant additive.

WARNING!
Coolant additives are toxic!
Do not inhale coolant vapours, do not swallow
coolant, avoid contact with skin and eyes; hazardous if consumed!
Note
♦ The cooling system is filled all year round with a mix-
ture of water and antifreeze/anti-corrosion agent.
Coolant additives prevent damage from frost and cor-
rosion and the accumulation of lime scale while also
raising the boiling point of the coolant. For these rea-
sons the cooling system must always be filled all year
round with radiator antifreeze and anti-corrosion
agent offering these properties.
♦ Coolant additive G12 - red in colour, complying with
standard TL VW 774 D, must not be mixed with other
coolant additives which comply with standard TL VW
774 C(B) -bluish-green in colour-. If these two coolant
additives are mixed the coolant will turn brown. Brown

Do not use coolant additives that have not been recommended by ŠKODA AUTO a.s.
Other coolant additives may specifically impair the provided corrosion protection.
The resulting corrosion damage may lead to a loss of
coolant and subsequently cause major engine damage.
Coolant additives conforming to the standard TL VW 774
D (G12) or TL VW 774F (G12 PLUS) prevent frost and
corrosion damage, as well as the formation of scale, and
also increase the boiling point of the coolant.
02
For these reasons you must use coolant additives 12
months a year.
The engine's reliability is also increased when the engine
is stressed, especially in countries with a tropical climate.

WARNING!
Brake fluid must never come into contact with
fluids containing crude oils (oil, petrol, cleaning
agent). Crude oils damage the gaskets and
boots of the brake system.
Brake fluid is toxic. Because of its caustic effect
brake fluid must not come into contact with
paint.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs mois-
ture from the surrounding air . Therefore it
should always be stored in airtight containers.
Wash any parts stained with brake fluid with
large volumes of water.
Observe the disposal instructions!

FABIA 2000 ➤ Inspection and Maintenance
Note
The brake fluid must not be above the „MAX“ marking to
prevent fluid flowing out of the reservoir.
Delivery Inspection
The brake fluid level during the delivery inspection should
be at the „MAX“ marking.
Inspection Service:
– The brake fluid level (volume) must always be as-
sessed on the basis of the brake pad wear. When driv-
ing a slight drop in the brake fluid level occurs as a
result of wear-and-tear and the automatic slack ad-
justment of the brake pads.
– If the fluid brake level is on the „MIN“ marking or slight-
ly above, it is not necessary to top up the brake fluid if
the brake pads have practically reached their wear
limit.
– If the brake pads are new or far off the brake wear lim-
it, the brake fluid level must be between the „MIN“ and
„MAX“ markings.
– If the brake fluid level has dropped below the „MIN“
marking, it is necessary to inspect the brake system
before topping up the brake fluid ⇒ 02-5 page 2; car-
ry out repair measure if necessary.

Delivery Inspection:
– Inspect the tyre tread and side wall for damage, if nec-
essary remove any foreign bodies from the tyres, such
as nails or glass splinters.
Inspection Service:
– Inspect the tyre tread and side wall for damage, if nec-
essary remove any foreign bodies from the tyres, such
as nails or glass splinters.
– Inspect tyres for scrubbing, tread worn down on one
side, porous side walls, cuts and punctures. Any defects found must be advised to the customer and the
customer's attention must be drawn to any necessary
repair measures!
Inspecting tyre wear
– The wear pattern on the front tyres makes it possible
to assess whether it is necessary to inspect the wheel
toe and camber:
♦ The formation of ridges on the tyre tread is an indica-
tion of wheel toe errors.
♦ Tread worn on one side is usually attributable to cam-
ber errors.
– If such signs of wear are found, determine the cause
by checking the chassis alignment (repair measure).

This value may differ in individual countries as a result of
differing statutory requirements.
If the tyre tread depth is close to the legal minimum, in
other words if no further tread exists at the points around
the circumference of the tyre at which the 1.6 mm high
wear indicators are positioned, the customer should be
informed of the necessary repair measures.

Changing the code of the service intervals
02
1
S02-0306
Service intervals are sub-divided into two types after coding of the dash panel insert:
WIV with variable service intervals for chang ing
the oil (QG1)
Service intervals with flexibly set message lengths. Here
the character of the vehicle operation, the condition of the
brake linings and the oil level are monitored. The oil must
conform to the standards VW 503 00, VW 506 000 or VW
506 01.
WIV with fixed service intervals for changing the
oil (QG2)
Service intervals with fixed set message lengths for 1
year or 15 000 km. The oil level is, however, measured
with the oil sensor and the condition of the brake linings
is monitored. This version is usually set when no oil is
used which is not of the required quality.
Change service interval type
Note
♦ Every change of the coding of the dash panel insert
which is associated with the service intervals must be
entered into the service schedule for the vehicle.
♦ The changes to service intervals with fixed limit for oil
change (QG2) on WIVs with variable service intervals
(QG1) can only be undertaken on the basis that the
vehicle was originally fitted with WIV at the works and
one exclusively only uses engine oil in a quality which
is in accordance with the standard for WIV.
♦ The changes made from QG1 to QG2 can be under-
taken independently of the setting up done at the
worts.

must be on a level flat surface.
• Align the vehicle and headlight beam setting device in
accordance with the device manufaturer's indications.
• Check the control system of vehicles equipped with
headlight beam control by repeatedly turning the
thumbwheel in the dash panel. Then turn the thumbwheel to basic position.
• Set the inclination value.
02
Inclination value:
The inclination value is marked in „%“ at the top of the
headlight housing. The main headlights must be set to
this value. The percentage value applies up to 10 metres
projection distance. This will be 12 cm for an inclination
value of e.g. 1.2 %.
Inspecting headlight beam se tting and adjusting
if necessary
Main headlights:
– Check whether the horizontal light/dark limit touches
the separation mark -1- on the test surface when the
low beam light is on .
– Check whether the kink -2- between the left horizontal
part and the ascending right part of the light/dark limit
intersects with the central mark -3- on the vertical line.
The light core of the light beam must be located to the
right of the vertical line.

Airbag units: Visual inspection
Inspecting operation of airbag unit
When the ignition is switched on the airbag warning lamp
K75 lights up for approximately 4 seconds. Should the
warning lamp flash again for a further 12 seconds this is
an indication that the front passenger airbag or the side
airbag unit on the front passenger is electronically locked
(valid for vehicles which do not have an airbag switch-off
function).
The warning lam p will g o out af ter 4 seconds for vehi cles
which are fitted with an airbag switch-off function and
switching off of the front passenger airbag will be signalled by the warning lamp „AIRBAG OFF“ in the middle
of the dash panel.
♦ If warning lamp K75 does not go out after 4 seconds
and lights up continously there is a fault.
♦ If the warning lamp goes out and then lights up again
the control unit is not coded, the wrong control unit has
been fitted or there is a fault.
♦ If the airbag warning light K75 flashes constantly, it is
then necessary to replace the airbag control unit J234.
02
If the warning light indicates a fault, the fault must be
rectified (repair measure) Body Work; Rep. Gr. 01.
Inspecting airbag for external damage
Driver and front passenger airbag units
The logo „AIRBAG“ on the padded boss of the steering
wheel (driver's side) and on the right side of the dash panel (passenger side) indicates that an airbag is fitted.
– Carry out a visual inspection of the padded boss of the
steering wheel -1- and surface of the dash panel -2on the front passenger side for external damage.
– Undertake a visual inspection of the front seats to de-
termine any damage (valid for vehicles with side airbags).
♦ Only use original seat upholstery approved for side
airbags.
♦ The use of commercially available protective seat cov-
ers is prohibited as this impairs the operation of the
side airbags.
♦ Replace all harpoon clips with new original parts.
♦ In the event of damage to the upholstery - tears, burn
holes etc. - in the area of the side airbag always replace the upholstery with a new original part for safety
reasons.

Note
All tubes and plug connections, which had been removed
or disconnected for the test and adjustment, must be reinserted or connected.
Technical data of the spark plugs Chapter 02-3.
Exhaust-Emission Analysis on Models
with Diesel Engines
Note
♦ When possible the test should be carried out immedi-
ately after the road test and also outdoors. If specific
reasons prevent this (weather conditions, excessive
noise in residential areas) the test may also be performed in the workshop.
♦ Secure the engine bonnet in the first stop while meas-
uring to reduce the noise.
Visual inspection
02
♦ Hose for crankcase ventilation is connected
♦ Fuel system and injection pump must be tight
♦ The exhaust system must be undamaged and tight
♦ All vacuum hoses are connected
Test and setting conditions
• Engine oil temperature at least 80 °C
• All electrical components disconnected
• No fault stored in the fault memory ⇒ Chapter 02-6,
connect vehicle system tester and interrogate fault
memory
Note
Correct detected faults before measuring (repair measure).
Connect the test equipment
– Connect the tester in complianc e with the opera t ing
instructions.
– Start engine, warm up to normal temperature and run
in idle.
– Perform the exhaust-emission analysis.
Note
♦ Activate and inspect auxiliary equipment such as e.g.
power steering, automatic gearbox or air conditioning
system. Check whether the engine continues to run
perfectly under this load.
♦ All tubes and plug connections, which had been re-
moved or disconnected for the test and adjustment,
must be re-inserted or connected.

Tow starting/Towing
Note
♦ A towing rope or towing bar must only be fitted to the
above towing lugs.
♦ The towing rope must be elastic to protect the vehicle.
Therefore only use synthetic ropes or ropes manufactured in an equally elastic material. However, it is safer to use a towing bar!
♦ Make sure no unauthorised traction forces and no jolt-
ing loads are exerted. During towing manoeuvres
away from hardened road surfaces there is a risk of
overloading and damaging the fixation parts.
♦ Before starting the engine by towing, first use the bat-
tery of another vehicle as a start aid.
Front: The threaded hole of the front towing lug is located
in the front right part of the bumper behind the cover grill.
02
Note
Screw in the towing lug by hand by turning it to the left (in
the direction of the arrow) up to the stop.
Rear: The towing lug is located below the rear right part
of the bumper.
Note
♦ Comply with the legal regulations on towing.
♦ Both drivers must be familiar with the specificities of
the towing process.
♦ When using a towing rope the driver of the towing ve-
hicle must press the clutch very smoothly when driving off and changing gear.
♦ The driver of the towed vehicle must make sure the
rope is kept taut.
♦ The ignition must be switched on to ensure the steer-
ing wheel does not lock and the turn signals, horn,
windscreen wipers and windscreen washer system
can be activated.
♦ As the brake servo unit only operates with the engine
running, the brake pedal must be pressed much harder when the engine is switched off.
♦ On vehicles with power steering the steering is much
harder when the engine is switched off.
♦ If there is no lubricant in the gearbox or automatic
gearbox the vehicle must only be towed with the drive
wheels raised.
S02-0302
When towing vehicles with a manual gearbox
pay attention to the following:
– Before towing engage 2nd or 3rd gear.
– Switch on ignition.
MiscellaneousEdition 06.01
S00.5301.06.20
02-9 page 1

– As soon as the engine starts, press clutch and remove
gear to avoid driving into the towing vehicle.
Note
Do not start the engine of vehicles fitted with an exhaust
catalyst by towing over a long distance as unburnt fuel
may get into the catalyst and burn there. This may result
in overheating and hence in the destruction of the catalyst.
Perform a test drive
The following must be assessed within the scope of a test
drive according to the vehicle equipment and the available possibilities (city/country, weather)
– Inspect engine for performance, misfiring, idling be-
haviour and acceleration.
– Foot and handbrake: Functional test (jerking, squeak-
ing, pulling to one side) ABS operation. Brake pedal-
idle travel: max.
1
/3 of the idle travel.
FABIA 2000 ➤ Inspection and Maintenance
– Inspect the lever position and smooth operation of the
gearshifts.
– Inspect the driving behaviour of the clutch as well as
the pedal force and smell.
– Inspect automatic gearbox: Selector lever position,
selector lever lock, shifting behaviour, display indica-
tion in dash panel insert.
– Inspect steering clearance of the vehicle standing on
its wheels, with engine running by turning the steering
wheel one way and then the other (wheels straight
ahead). There must be no play on the steering.
– Inspecting the sun roof operation.
– Pay attention to pulling and to the straigt ahead posi-
tion of the steering wheel during driving.
– Inspect the imbalance of the wheels, drive shafts and
propshafts.
– Inspecting functions: Heating, air conditioning, venti-
lation, instruments and warning lights, mirror adjust-
ment.
– Inspect engine, gearbox, axles, steering, brakes,
clutch, bodywork for abnormal noises
Raising the vehicle
Using a lift platform and a workshop jack
The vehicle must only be raised with a worksh op jac k in
the indicated jacking points -arrows-.
To avoid damage use a suitable rubber or wood insert.
