Steering noise
Probably thermodynamics, I'd look at some touching plastics around the back of the steering wheel, this was quite common on Audi's 20 years ago Dripping moulten candle wax in the affect area tends to work best as it, doesn't smell or dry out

Parcel shelf.
As John said the grippers work pretty good but, they've gotta be fully in however, even if fully gripped they give up at speed with all the windows down. Whilst doing this this does vacuum the car at the same time as getting a lot of the residual heat outta the internal plastics ect. I had this happen & know what speed you were doing πππ FYI, wear close fitting sunglasses if its been a long time since you've hoovered the car, depending on wind direction grit starts flying around at 130π³π³π³

DSG revs not dropping when stopped
twas 34 degC, what do you thinkπππ But yeah, thats A/C running has caused that, if it ticks over at 1,200 you've accidentally knocked the DSG into sport

Octavia VRS 245
That's the original or as some call it the "limited edition" 245 manufacture year 18. Plenty of VCDS upgrades you can do on the car, it does ride better 19" just gets a bit wallowy on 18", swore I wouldn't run the 19's but, drove from collection back home, changed it to 18's & took them back off after 5 miles. Although, mine has DCC might feel different on standard suspension

Meon Hut Meet #86 7pm on the 25/08/2020
The West Meon Hut meet #86 Tuesday 25th of August 7pm onwards but, some do rock up early. I know it should be a week later but, we're eating out to help out & as Tuesday 1st September is day after the Bank Holiday I don't see a great turn out. The place does a range of cheap'n'cheerful food & drinks, its not a dive but, don't expect a classy joint either what is does have is some quick, interesting sections of road & a large carpark. All Skoda & Non-Skoda drivers welcome, partners & children welcome although, being a Car Club it may not be very interesting for them. I'll keep tagging previous attendees to ensure everyone is as well informed as can be although, please pm me to be removed from the list should it become a PITA http://www.westmeonpub.co.uk/ https://www.google.c...82abeebd26a1535 @timyates1989, @Xavier, @Newport91, @JerryT, @shanemeh, @andy68, @64033, @Leeboy, @dsj20v, @skodanorman, @jonbmx900, @mattsv, @JoseDB, @jcarr162000, @ZubSub, @K155BMR, @zouche, @Chris6663, @Toxicvrs, @LiamONeill, @mycoolbeard, @J45ON, @gary80, @Famous_Afro_Jay, @Bowders1, @TeflonTom, @peterhaskew, @carrera85, @146matty, @JackClap, @vrsjub, @pierst1, @fex, @solite, @jjc, @fatwomble, @kennyd32, @High4, @Mike18Clark, @Gambo, @Evans octy no:67/100, @Dave And Lolli, @Horsee, @andras.orban, @octyjosh, @lemonvrs, @Leee, @Carl Monte, @PompeyKev, @pikachu24, @V8 Dave, @Lee01, @Hyphons, @stuartvrs, @Yoss, @tamiyaandy, @hardcorehobbit, @andsoutham, @Tomote, @mk4gtiturbo, @Mustafa, @austenw90, @sigarland1987, @BJB540, @Thorpe76, @VladSoilerOfCarpets, @bullawayo, @Octy 4x4t, @Lingnoi, @Lkim13, @AndrewE, @bspman, @Chelseacraig, @jars, @flashman, @Cydermonkey, @AJ7788, @gjgrst, @JGrindel, @MissPiggy, @Hedge, @jronnquist, @CHRIS ELLIS, @Updown789, @stubunce, @@lexc, @mase101, @Chris245, @Robsskoda, @Max M4X WW, @MHargr

The SuperSkoda monte carlo center caps have been on my car for 34 months, washed by the cheapest Polish car wash in the country. They look fine

Anyone have recent experience of EBC discs/pads?
@smalls Heres a photo of my Turbo Grooved with Yellowstuff pads, I'm very tough on brakes so, these have been replaced now. They were a good upgrade in terms of stopping power but, they are dusty, might be better just running Redstuff as they are a low dust compound

16th Nov 2019 Rolling Road Day @ JKM Portsmouth
Hi All, Turning into a bit of a tradition now. I'm hoping to organise a rolling road day in 16th NOVEMBER at JKM, Portsmouth. As before, if i get 10 people interested then i will approach JKM and hopefully get the day booked in. The usual format is 3 back to back runs with a print out at the end. The rollers at JKM are 2WD only, I expect the majority of cars attending will be FWD but for those with RWD cars, put your name on the list anyway and if we get enough people (usually 3+ will do) then JKM can turn the rollers round at the end of the day for us Its always a good day out and would be good to see you all there again, as well as some new faces! Cheers Start Time at 09:00am β Yard Gate open from 8.45am for parking (Please can we ask that vehicles are not parked in front of the solid blue gates next to our entrance or in front of any of our neighbouring businesses as they require constant access) Β£40 for 3 back to back runs - cash preferred on the day to speed payments up. Front Wheel Drive cars preferred on the cay though if we have sufficient demand we can turn the dyno around for rear wheel drive cars. Please make it clear when submitting a running order/ list if you have a Rear Wheel Drives car that you would like to run on the day. No Vans, expect VW Caddy size, No 4 wheel drive cars or Haldex 4 wheel drive The dyno has a small ramp which leads up to it. Any cars which are very low will not get on the dyno. Please check with us first if you are unsure. You will receive a colour print out of the best run. Free Tea/coffee/Biscuits will provided all day
