1.1 Safety measures when painting vehi‐
cles that use natural gas
DANGER!
Danger of death if drying temperatures are too high! High
temperatures increase the pressure in the natural gas or
LPG fuel tank. If the pressure is too high, a natural gas or
LPG tank may explode and cause death or serious injuries.
High temperatures trigger the thermal fuse of the shut-off
valve on natural gas fuel tanks. A pressure increase as a
result of high temperature triggers the pressure relief valve
in LPG fuel tanks. Gas escapes from the natural gas or LPG
fuel tank and may ignite, in particular in the presence of
sparks, and cause explosive flames. This can cause death or
serious injuries.
♦ The vehicle may be placed in the heated drying oven
with a maximum of 3/4 filling level of the natural gas fuel
tank.
♦ As part of a refinishing process in the drying oven or
its preheating zone, object temperatures (natural gas
fuel containers or components carrying gas) of a maxi‐
mum of 65 ° C may be achieved. This corresponds to
a residence time of the vehicle of 1 hour at 80°C room
temperature in a drying oven.
♦ When using infrared heaters to dry painted sections
outside of the drying oven, care must be taken not to
expose the natural gas fuel containers or gas-carrying
components to the infrared heater directly. The lining of
the natural gas fuel tank is sufficient heat protection from
direct heat radiation.
The safety instructions for working on vehicles with an LPG or
natural gas system must be followed.

1.2 Safety measures when painting vehi‐
cles that use electric drive
Caution
Risk of damage to battery cells if the drying temperatures are
too high!
♦ At a drying temperature of 80°C, observe the maximum
drying time of 30 minutes.
♦ At a drying temperature of +60 °C, observe the maxi‐
mum drying time of 45 minutes.
♦ For infrared drying, protect all high-voltage components
from direct infrared radiation.
Observe safety instructions when working on vehicles with elec‐
tric drive.

Structure of metallic and pearl colour paint, water-based
Layer thickness: approx. 80-130 µm
1 - Steel sheet
2 - Zinc phosphating
3 - Electrophoretic coating
4 - Water-based filler
5 - Water-based metallic/pearl colour
6 - 1K burning clear coat (except Citigo and vehicles painted
in Russia and Ukraine - 2K clear coat)
Note
♦ The approximate layer thickness may vary depending on
tone and indicates differences depending on position, as
well as vertical and horizontal surfaces.
♦ The values may be exceeded for some vehicles in two or
more coats are applied. However, this does not need to be
communicated.
2.2 Structure of customer service paint‐
work
Galvanized sheets on both sides
Note
♦ Ensure that:
♦ all sheets edges are adequately deburred for body repairs.
♦ inner surfaces not to be painted have a complete zinc CDP
layer.
♦ that welded interior surfaces and sanding-through points are
reworked with e.g. 2K wash primer -LHV 043 000 A2- or
-LLS MAX 230 M1- and then with 2K HS performance fillers.
Applying filler
Filler compounds are now essential for bodywork and in the
paint shop to restore contour. When applying filler, the different
substrate requirements must be observed.

Primer
The primer is the most important part of the anti-corrosion sys‐
tem, because is prevents water and oxygen reaching the metal
surface. Original spare parts are normally coated with a black or
yellow CDP.
Note
♦ Sanded-through areas and weld seams must be re-coated
with corrosion protection as soon as possible.
♦ The CDP primer is not resistant to UV or acid. Spare parts
must therefore also be painted from the inside.
♦ After repairing corrosion and in general for any bare metallic
substrate, you must insulate with e.g. 2K wash primer -LHV
043 000 A2- or -LLS MAX 230 M1-, then fill with 2K HS
performance filler.
Product information
♦ ⇒ p3.3 revention”, page 42
Filler
♦ The filler makes sure that the entire coating system adheres
well to the body part to be painted.
♦ The filler serves as the substrate for the top coat, levels out
unevenness in areas that have already been worked and
determines the quality of the top coat. The filler protects the
body against chipping and also acts as a barrier/substrate
insulation, which is essential for corrosion protection.

PVC seam sealing and underseal
Note
♦ For repair, the joint seal must be restored to its original thick‐
ness.
♦ To avoid damage and failures, the seal welds in the area of
the assembly-specific add-on parts must be coated smooth‐
ly.
♦ Water drain holes must be left clear.
♦ All threaded bolts and weld nuts with M-thread and all other
bolts and contact surfaces for assembly must be fully func‐
tional all along the seal.
♦ The sealant material must not be applied to bare sheet met‐
al, but only on to filled substrates.
♦ To prevent water ingress into the flanges, the sheet fold is
sealed with pasty, solvent-free PVC at critical points of the
body. A layer of PVC with varying thickness is also sprayed
onto accurately defined areas of the underbody and in the
wheelhousings as protection against chipping and for sound
absorption.
♦ Before sealing/applying underseal, the surface must always
be thoroughly primed and filled.
♦ After repairing corrosion and in general for any bare metallic
substrate, you must insulate with 2K wash primer e.g. -LHV
043 000 A2- or -LLS MAX 230 M1- then fill with 2K HS
performance filler.
♦ The specific layer thicknesses for the underseal must be
observed.

Base coat
The base coat is primarily decorative.
The paints provide different coverage depending on pigment
content. The manufacturer's instructions must be followed.
Clear coat
The clear coat is primarily decorative. The clear coat protects
the top coat/base coat against ultraviolet radiation and environ‐
mental pollution, such as acid in bird droppings.
Wax preservation/cavity preservation
Wax preservation/cavity preservation plays an essential role in
corrosion protection. Depending on application, there are vari‐
ous materials available for customer service. These materials
provide excellent protection because they have the following
properties:
♦ They are hydrophobic (water-repellent).
♦ They have good adhesion.
♦ No corrosion creep.

If you've landed on this page, it's likely that you already understand the importance of routine maintenance for your Škoda vehicle and that repairing it yourself is always the most cost-effective solution in the long term.
And although Škoda vehicles are generally quite reliable, certain parts will inevitably wear out over time and require replacement — and let's not forget that dealership and repair shop prices are skyrocketing these days.
Fortunately, a Škoda repair manual will allow you to maintain and repair your vehicle on your own terms!
Indeed, this 2022 SKODA Fabia Download Service & Repair Manual is identical to what Škoda technicians use to service and maintain your vehicle and includes all the manufacturer's recommended troubleshooting and replacement procedures. Thanks to the included step-by-step instructions, troubleshooting charts, exploded-view illustrations, wiring diagrams, and clear images, you'll have everything you need to repair your vehicle and keep the tow truck at bay.
It's also worth noting that digital manuals are far more user-friendly than traditional hardbound books. You won't have to sort through hundreds of pages to find what you're looking for, and you won't have to worry about dirty hands, misplaced pages, or a bunch of manuals collecting dust on your garage shelves. Digital manuals can also be stored on your phone or laptop, ensuring that they're always nearby when you need them.
Of course, if you prefer a physical copy, you can still print out specific pages or the entire manual. Nonetheless, and regardless of how you use it, a good repair manual will always have your back, helping you keep your Škoda in excellent condition at an affordable cost!
