Hi new here. Just counted how many skoda's in my immediate family at present - 7 octavia's and now 1 new Rapid. My father in law bought a new 1.6tdi rapid. Has it two weeks and he's not very happy. It has an annoying rattle. If it was an old high mileage car, you would say there was a bearing going. If you travel on a smooth asphalt surface it practically goes away, but on rougher surfaces it is there. Its been back to dealer, and they say they cannot find anything wrong.
Has anyone else with a new Rapid found rattles or noises that should not be there on a new car. He traded in a 2008 Octavia tdi, which was perfect and smooth - great car.
Also where is the Rapid built? is it different to the Octavia?
Thanks.
