Skoda Fabia electric steering column issue

I have a Skoda Fabia, build year 2008, diesel engine. I'm having a problem with the electric steering column adjustment. The steering column can no longer be adjusted electrically, and there's an error message. Initial diagnostics suggest it may be a defective cable or plug connection. Any advice?

Summary of the thread

A Skoda Fabia owner experienced an issue with the electric steering column adjustment, receiving an error message. Initial diagnostics indicated a potential problem with a defective cable or plug connection. Advice included checking fuses and conducting a VAG-COM scan for detailed diagnostics. Ultimately, a workshop visit confirmed and resolved the issue by fixing the defective connection.

Whoa, electric steering column adjustment issue, that's a bummer! I had a similar problem with my Skoda Fabia. It turned out to be a dodgy connection in the steering column. Did you check the fuses? Also, get a VAG-COM scan done, it might point you in the right direction!

Thank you for your quick response! I am not very experienced. What do you mean by 'VAG-COM scan'? And where exactly are the fuses located in the Skoda Fabia? Any advice would be appreciated!

VAG-COM is basically a diagnostic tool that scans all the car's computers for error codes. It's way more detailed than your average OBD2 scanner. For the fuses, check your owner's manual, it should have a diagram. Honestly, with steering issues, I'd suggest a workshop visit. It's not something you want to mess with and risk your safety.

I wanted to say thank you for your help! As suggested, I took my Skoda Fabia to the workshop. It turned out to be a defective cable or plug connection. They fixed it for 95€. Everything works now!
