Skoda Fabia 1.9 diesel - fuse box and reversing lights - 659FBE

This made me smile - I have a Skoda Superb.

I like to know what the fuse assignations are before I have an electrical problem and I found the neat little card clipped to the fuse box cover on the end of the dashboard to be utterly incomprehensible.

The penny dropped when I remembered I was dealing with VAG. As the fuse box is on the end of the dashboard, on a LHD Superb (Passat) the fuse box would be on the other end of the dashboard - and hence a mirror image of the one I have.

The cheapskates had not bothered to fit a "RHD" fuse assignation card to my car - hence all the data was mirror-imaged. Gibberish.

Microsoft to the rescue - scan the fuse card, laterally invert the image using Publisher or similar and print. Problem solved - the numbers invert but as the data is symbolic it's understanderble. A wiper symbol looks much the same when flipped over.

I really hate this company sometimes - a dark wet night would not be the time to find out about this little gem. I thought I'd paid the designers when I bought the vehicle.

I'm not familiar with the Fabia but I would guess this designer has been let loose elsewhere...

659.
