This guy deserves some kind of award for his service to us skoda fabia mk1 owners, insanely well made videos, thank you!!!

@stuartdavidsonR36 3 месяца назад

Your videos are invaluable, I just had to replace the rubber boost pipe that goes under the offside headlight. This helped me no end so I thank you very much for this 😊

@HatBoyHarvey 3 месяца назад

Great, only too glad to help with that, more to come :-)

@stuartdavidsonR36 3 месяца назад

I'm glad, all these little jobs help keep our cars decent 👌

@geoffreylotz3661 Год назад

I have just come in from the garage having replacing the headlights on mine....easy enough job but my old ones have what looks like the adjustment motor on them and I haven't figured out how to get those units out and install them on the new headlights yet. I need to look into that. Also I need to check the aim on them, but that's tomorrow's task. Thanks for the video, mate.....it helped me quite a lot. Nifty little cars - we have zero regrets at having bought ours last year. Your channel is a great resource.

@HatBoyHarvey Год назад

You're welcome, I changed the motors over on mine easily enough, but can't remember how it's done. Maybe I'll have a look into showing that in a video 🎥 :-)

@zms6005 8 месяцев назад

I know it’s too late to help you, but for anyone reading this comment, to remove the motor you have to turn it and it’ll became loose.

@iamspartacus1128 4 года назад

Good informative video, these headlight units respond well to polishing up to remove the haze that develops on the lens, that operation is best done with h/light removed as per the video. Nice torx set you have there too👍

@HatBoyHarvey 4 года назад

Thanks, glad and hope it helps. I've replaced a number of these as time hasn't been kind to mine and somthing I didn't mention in the video is, it is nice to have both headlights to match :-)

@vulcano9200 Месяц назад

Very, very useful video. Tks a lot for this one. Helped me a lot. I was totally in the dark about this headlights. Can you tell me if we can buy only the headlight wiring loom and where to find it? Again many tks.

@HatBoyHarvey Месяц назад

Hard to source, try ebay, sometimes you may find one, but maybe easier at a breakers yard. New I find Czechia Skoda companies, try skodaparts.com. You need a part number if you can find one. The main dealers may help with the part number, but a wiring loom would be very expensive if they will sell one to Joe public :-)

@redrain4477 4 года назад

Nice tutorial, I think you should work on mk2 fabias as that is my car. And probably a lot more common than mk1s

@komoonkh 4 года назад

Mk1 is much better than mk2...mk3 is also very good. Here in Czech republic, mk1 is the most common car. Mk2 is not behind much.

@HatBoyHarvey 4 года назад

I agree, it will now be more popular, but there are still MK1 owners and I have a list of videos to do yet. I have been thinking and looking what car I should get next.

@JuanSe2691 Год назад

Hi Harvey thanks for such an informative video. My adjusters are out of place, I dislodged them while attempting to adjust the beam. I wonder if you have a tutorial about that? TIA

@mantaspetrauskas4431 5 месяцев назад

Hello, it's amazing that you made a video like this, wanted to ask, as you're knowledgeable in this field, would it be possible to consult with you on my skoda through email or in some other communication way, just what I wanted is your opinion on the damage done to the headlight, of course I'll change the whole headlight, just the rim around it is damaged and I would appreciate a professionals opinion.

@HatBoyHarvey 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for appreciating my video. I'm sorry, but I only reply to business messages by email. I can discuss Car problems in the comments section of the videos. If you upload a video to your RU-vid page - then tell me and I'll look at it. Try to highlight what the issue actually is :-)

@mantaspetrauskas4431 5 месяцев назад

@HatBoyHarvey That would be amazing, thank you so much! I'll get the video up until monday😊

@alibozyilan 2 года назад

Hello Harvey! First of all I want to say amazing work with the skoda fabia repair playlist. My mom has an old fabia which I usually take care of many things myself and your videos really helped me so much this far, thank you. Also I have a question for you, the problem with our fabia is that the headlight adjuster units (electric motor inside the unit & the white adjuster screws) are broken so you cannot adjust the height of the bem of the light. I would like to know if I can adjust the height of the beam playing with the adjuster knot bolt as its the only option that I have and that comes into my mind. Thank you in advance :)

@HatBoyHarvey 2 года назад

Hi, thanks for the support. The light unit moves within the outer shell which the adjusters attach to. If the adjustment has been moved to the maximum on either screw it can sometimes appear that they don't work, so it maybe worth checking for that. Cheap replacement units can also not work correctly as I had one that did that with the adjusters. If you buy a new unit either buy an OEM one from a scrapped vehicle or a good new one from a shop that you can return it to if found not to work rather than online :-)

@SRG6859 4 месяца назад

Great Video, many thanks. Is it possible to check power steering fluid by removing the from left head lamp on a 1.9 PD, right hand drive?

@HatBoyHarvey 4 месяца назад

Good question. I ruled that out as you would have to re-align the headlight adjustment if you did and it looks too tight. I don't think you can get the cap off, I never tried. This is how I did it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1LWT-YqiTzE.htmlsi=Jm1G9uNMiwUKJAC3. But, if you can find a way video it, post it on your channel and let me know :-)

@ikerdiez9213 4 года назад

Nice video, as always !!! Just one really really important thing. If you have xenon headlights (discharging lamps) is critical to disconnect the battery first due to there is a high risk of death in case of short.

@HatBoyHarvey 4 года назад

Thanks for that important point if as you say if you have xenon lights.

@hueseyin_klnc 2 года назад

Hey there I want to change my headlights for my skoda fabia mk1 and I mostly understood your instructions from the video. I just have one question. How do I exaclty take out the electric adjustment motor from the old headlights and put it into the new ones? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

@jacobs3031 4 месяца назад

I need both my front ones replacing. Become oxidised now they say wipe them with turtle wax but they are chipped and I think it's inside the unit where the problem is spent time on them just cannot get them clear.

@HatBoyHarvey 3 месяца назад

Probably a good idea to get new ones. Hit and miss with quality on these so buy recognised makes :-)

@jacobs3031 3 месяца назад

@@HatBoyHarvey would a parts shop replace them? It's been a brilliant car I don't fancy getting rid just because it keeps coming up as an advisory on mot.

Depends on them, but they are not hard to fit and then the MOT garage can adjust them for you :-)😂

Hi, I removed one of my lights and in the process the front nut screw which is moulded to the housing just snapped. Do you think it will be an issue when it still has the other 3 torx screws to hold the headlight in place? Thanks

My 2002 seems to have one bottom bolt that is inserted from the underside. Are you sure this works for the 2002 model+

@HatBoyHarvey 3 года назад

All the bolts are accessed from the top and front. What model is your car and do you have a modified or different unit?

@DanielRevay 4 года назад

yo HatBoyHarvey, my Fabia's air vents inside are broken. You know the air vents that can be closed or opened with the round wheel thing? They won't move if I rotate the knob. How do I fix that? Thanks!

@HatBoyHarvey 4 года назад

Have a look at this to remove them, then look inside to find out what has come loose/broken. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TSL5g2-evVI.html. Sorry for late reply, must have missed it. :-)

Does the bumper have to be dropped, mine looks like I can access the 10mm hex (vrs)

@HatBoyHarvey 3 года назад

you can loosen them, but although it looks like you can take them out, you can't easily extract/insert them without damaging the bumper (I wouldn't recommend a go).

@adrianstacey5484 3 года назад

Is not necessarily to remove the bumper to take off the head lights.
