Skoda Fabia GPS Signal Loss

A defective GPS antenna seems likely given the symptoms and the error code. Have you checked the connection of the antenna cable to the GPS module? It might be a loose connection or corrosion. The GPS module is often located behind the dashboard or in the roof area, depending on the car's configuration.

Thanks for the tip. Where exactly would I find the GPS module in a Fabia? Is it something I can easily access without dismantling half the car?

Based on the error code and lack of GPS reception, the antenna itself is the most probable cause. Locating the GPS module can be tricky and often requires some disassembly of interior trim. Given your experience and the potential for damaging car electronics, I would advise having a workshop diagnose and repair the issue. The 200€ estimate sounds reasonable for an antenna repair.

Took it to the workshop and the GPS antenna was faulty. A new antenna was fitted and it is working again. Cost 200€, as predicted. Cheers!
