I got the same letter saying we can now sort the emissions problem however i get mine serviced at a local none frachised garage, and after reading about the problems that have been incurred with VW etc I shall not be taking my 1.6 to a Skoda dealer for rectification or services, it is not a legal requirement to have this done, also the car has passed 2 MOT's with no problem.

As before I would be the only person ever Skoda have had that problem with and again considering passing 2 MOT's I won't bother

Thank you I have read online it is not legal requirement and so many stories of VWs having huge problems after the fix I don't think I will bother bearing in mind it has passed 2 MOTs with no emission problems

Today (12/06/2017) I have received the letter from Skoda and DVLA regarding the updates on the emissions EA 189 NOx problems It states on the letter "you will be reassured to hear that indipendant testing authorities have confirmed that there will be negative impact on engine performance,maximium torque,fuel consumption, noise and CO2 emissions as a result of having this update applied" I have heard this is not always the case Is this a legal requirement that it has to be done?

mine gets this too

Very pleased to say now the weather has got warmer the wiper works fully functionally

My 1.6 does but it is a 13 plate

Yes agree to above it is a longer polo. I can't compare to an Octavia as I have never been in one. I would not class this as a small car really as I find loads of room in it. Cheaper for me on insurance and running costs compared to an Octavia. Only problems I have come across were the water in rear doors (sorted by dealer in warranty period) And still waiting to hear what is supposed to be happening with the emissions thing. 1.6 diesel 13 plate

Mine does the same a 13 reg 1.6 SE hatchback (not the space back) never known the proper name for this original model. Hnestly don't know as I would trust this as a battery saver as the car gives the warning lights on whining warning when I open the door.

Hear nothing (return home switch??)

The rear wiper on my 13 reg 1.6 SE stops in random areas of the back windscreen when used by this I mean rather than returning to the original set sweep position it stops randomly and annoyingly and very annoyingly any where it likes. Any one else had this problem? May it simply be I need a new blade on it or is it something that is going to cost loads to get sorted? Car is out of warranty

I found this too on my 13 reg rapid it does come off with a tough pull

I do remember reading in hand book this can happen (mine does it while washing it) and the condensation will dissapear after time which it does on my 13 plate 1,6 TDI SE

Would a Polo cover fit? My partner has a Polo and they look exact same to me

yes them, I think they are purely decorative and to cover the A frame. I was going to try some of these sticky pads you use to hold number plates on when not screwed in place. When I get any that is. The Blutak is working for now
