Obvious question... you know they heat up in conjunction with switching on the heated rear window? Edit - my error! The OP is correct - have been driving an Audi S1 since saying goodbye to the vRS. Doh!

Used to connect a portable hard drive to my vRS via a suitable MDI cable and had no functionality issues at all.

Someone was a little over-enthusiastic with the interior tape? Love the way it runs straight across the trim gaps!

My DSG had a little wobble a while back: DSG wobble Thankfully it was a one-off and didn't manifest again.

Well folks, after owning both a MK1 & MK2 vRS, I’ve decided to move onto pastures new. This site, the members plus the advice & guidance has been superb throughout ownership and the combined enthusiasm for the models has been genuinely palpable. I’ll dip into the site now & then and my MK2 CAVE with no engine issues or, thankfully, DSG ones will hopefully find a home with someone who will take as much care of it as I did. Whoever you are, you’ll be getting a “good ‘un”. Happy trails to all and I’ll doff my cap as I pass(?!) in the replacement... an Audi S1.

This.

So the gearbox has started to exhibit very snatchy & unsmooth engagement at low speed/revs in both 1st and reverse, with the latter being much more noticeable & harsh. Clearly not happy. It's going to Skoda next week for diagnosis & rectification but early indicators point to a failing/faulty mechatronics unit and/or clutch pack. Luckily the All Component Cover Extended Warranty will take care of most of, if not all, costs. Will report back for info.

2013 Fabia Mk II vRS - rattle to left of engine?
Lee replied to SeaGoat's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
Something like this? vRS engine rattle I believe it's been discussed before with possibilities ranging from the dry clutches (not on the lhs though) through to the air-con compressor clutch engaging mechanism. Have a forum search for further info. -
If you feel up to the job(s), it can be worth changing both the air and pollen filters yourself for peace-of-mind. For the small outlay and minor skill required there is a large amount of satisfaction to be had.
