" a few spots of rust" hahaha that was as British as it can be, I love it
Glad you recognise the irony :-)
Excellent thanks. Had to remove my Fabia bumper to fit a towbar. I'd never taken a bumper off a car before so this was just what I needed. Very clear instructions and good advice along the way.
Thanks, glad it helped :-)
Needed to remove my Fabia rear bumper. Harvey is always my go to 'You tube Haynes manual'. Brilliant step by step video as always. Thanks again Harvey.
Thanks great to hear I have helped you👍
Amazing channel about Skoda Fabia. 👍
Thank you! 👍
Systematic and informative - as always. Thank you Harvey!
I am glad you liked it, hope to do more. Feel free to make suggestions for new video and I may take it up:-)
My brother and me just buy two exactly Fabias 1.4 Auto so, this video is "double usefull" to install rear parking sensors. Neat and clear explanations, good record. You mate got two new suscriptors.
Thank you so much for your support, very glad to have helped with the parking sensors. I thought about putting some on, but haven't yet due to having the towbar :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey We just bought this 15€ sensors. They works!! www.amazon.es/gp/product/B00C2NF1A2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Hi @HatBoyHarvey , I'm the other brother. Tomorrow morning I will install the parking sensors to my Skoda Fabia. The editing and detail of the video are fabulous, I feel fully convinced to face the task without a doubt.
@@TheConvertidordepar Hope it goes OK, let me know how you get on :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey The job was done alone so this all we got. My brother needs a cámera recording on his head. czcams.com/video/dLFqhV0Sddk/video.html
Thank you for your video. It helps me very much. I changed the bumper alone 😉
You're very welcome. Feels good to be able to fix stuff :-)
Very well put together. Brilliant communication skills.
Thanks, not easy with my equipment I tell you! not sure I agree with your last comment as my chat up lines never go right somehow :-I
Very clear video thanks! I like how the towbar "looks like it has a few spots of roost" 🤣🤣
Thanks, yes the towbar does get a bit rusty, but it is made of thick heavy duty metal so I'm not worried :-)
That’s exactly what I was installing today on my Fabia combi mk1. I guess in the following years I might be dealing with the same issue !
@@arisskarpetis if installing from new again I think I would paint it from new with hammerite, clean and repeat every few years, but that's easier said than done :-)
Maybe a lanolin based rust proofer? I have been thinking about it for the underside of an old Eriba caravan we got this year. The claims are that lanolin will capillary its way even into micro fissures and also it will stop any existing rust from further developing. Unlike paint which will bubble if you paint over rusty bits. You still have to scrape off loose rust. Worth thinking about it.
So useful! Love my Fabia, these videos are great mate :)
Thank you, glad you like them and your Fabia :-)
Great Thanks for Your videos, these are extremely useful for DIY fans. If I have a problem to fix, then the first thing is to use Your footages. Keep up the good work!
Cool, thanks :-)
Thank you Sir you realy help uss with those videos I learn a lot from youuu thnx a million times...
I'm glad that I have helped, that makes it all worth doing and makes me happy :-)
Great video, well made, and very informative, thank you!!.
Glad you liked it and hope it helped :-)
Very clear explanation! Thank you
You are very welcome :-)
Wonderful explanation, now i can easily repair the caused damage.
Thank you Sir!
Thanks, sorry to hear your fabi has been hurt :-(
@@HatBoyHarvey I love my Fabi, wonderful engine and lots of space in this very handsome 17 years young car with 203000 miles.
Likes the bit with the rain and hailstones
Made me laugh.
I wondered whether that one would have been noticed ;-)
Great video, thanks again!
Thanks Thomas :-)
Excellent video, made bumper removal dead easy
Thanks, glad to be of service :-)
Hi friend, great video but I have one question. Please, where did you pull the cables to the right blinker from ?? Thanks for the info.
Thank you.👍
Professional! Thank you!!!!🔧🔧🔧
thank you, you're very welcome :-)
Thanks for the the video, that will make it a bit quicker! :)
No problem 👍
Exellent explanation. Thanks for sharing your wisdom 👏👍
My pleasure, glad it has helped :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Q. I installed a towbar on my Fabia. By the way, a car i bought from a 92 year old woman, driven for only 42000 km. I love it!
Back to subject: The towbar has 4 connection bolts. But, the insertable steelbar do not go far enough in to the inner bolts. Is this common, or have I reseved wrong towbar from provider?
It is a while since I put my towbar on and can't remember any difficulty with the bolts. Is there some other bolts further out? Is your towbar made for a mk2? Is the combi any different? Sorry I'm not much help; all I can say is if you think it doesn't fit then contact the firm that supplied it. I'll take min off and do a video sometime. Hope you can get it sorted :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Thanks for taking time to answer. I contact the company. And please make more videos, you make it bullitproof to get started. Even tho I managed to brake off two of the bits holding the plastic shield behind the backlights. 😂
excellent video...love the close up camera work - how long did it take (including the ta break!)
Thank you, nice to hear that. putting together the video was considerably longer than taking off/replacing the bumper which is only a 25 minute job or less, on/off if you know what you are doing. If you have never done it before, take your time and have a brew in-between sun rain and hail!
You are the best
:-)
very helpful
Great video mate love your channel is it the same process to fit a tow bar I want to fit one is it hard
Thanks, my tow bar has seen better days. It is very easy to fit on these as there are no fancy electronics to adapt and you just splice into the existing lamp wiring at one side. I had to cut a couple of notches for the bumper to fit which you don't see (maybe see them in this video?) I'll do a tow-bar video sometime :)
Thanks!!!
Thank you once again. Looks like simple job. I wil try remember about tea 😉,but maybe coffe can be as well?😅
You're welcome. The hardest part is the seam at the side. If you have never done it before you have to be firm, but controlled and don't pull at it; little at a time is best, UP & OUT. My Coffee is black with a little sugar and fine by me :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey I must say that was preety easy. Even at sides was no problem at all.Of course easy when you know what you must do in corect order. I was install pactronic sensors on rear bumper. My bigest problem was little space between bumper and metal beam. Finally I instal them in this black plastic board and working just fine. So thank you one more time. With yours guides I can do more by myself. Best wishes.
@@szampon010 Great to hear that, I'll have to do the same sometime as sensors are very useful many times when you can't be bothered to turn your head around much :-)

Nice work :-)
super 👌
Thank you
super
Thank you :-)
Have u a video on how to instal the hitch on this car.
Sorry I haven't done one yet :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey I followed ur vid to remove the bumper n it was easy after dat. Installed in 30 mins
@@patrickfoley3582 Glad that video helped. The wiring can be the bit thats a little fiddly and time consuming :-)
Does vrs rear bumper from hatcback, fit on fabia combi same year?
They fit the on the hatchback, but the combi is different on the sides. The front will fit with some extra clips if pre-facelift. exhaust cut-out is also an issue ;-)
Going to ask about the Saloon, or the Sedan. Got one with the parking sensors, and it's on a bit crooked after a little bump against a wall, with one of the sensor circles slightly recessed into the plastic mold.
Has anyone dismantled the bumper from that version? Asking both Poles and English folk.
PL:
Czy ktoś miał już doświadczenie w zdjęciu zderzaka tylniego z czujnikami parkowania w sedanie i mógłby się podzielić, jak to mniej więcej wygląda w porównaniu z hatchbackiem czy kombi?
My fabia right now has the problem that on the plastic part of the bumper one of the parking sensors "fell" into the cover. Can you remove the plastic part on the bumber without taking the whole bumper away?
The trim moulding comes off with a series of clips on both edges, better removed from the inside as there is less chance of scratching the bumper, which isn't that hard to remove :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Thanks! Gonna try it this way then
Is it the same procedure for the estate version?
The bumper wraps around the sides more and I think has 4 more screws underneath, also access to the rear light units are different having the plastic panels in place, but saying all that it is essentially similar.
@@HatBoyHarvey Ok. Thank you, sir.
👍🇷🇴
Its the same for combi?
The bumper on the combi is just a little longer on the sides and I haven't done one, but it looks the same. It maybe has more T25 screws underneath that would be my guess, if different at all. Thanks for watching, hope that helps :-)
For the Combi it is not neccessary to remove the internal plastics showed at the begining. Just remove rear lights (there is one textile cover giving access) and follow the rest of the steps gived by Harvey.
I´ve done it in mine in order to install a parking system.
Thanks Iker Diez, appreciate the helpful clarification, I've added that to the comments section. I am wondering if the saloon version is also the same? not many in UK.
No idea about saloon version. I know about Combi because I removed the rear bumper in mine (combi) in order to install a parking sensor.
@@ikerdiez9213 Hello from Netherlands. Just 1 question: are the spots for drilling the mounting holes for the 4 sensors marked on the inside??
