Skoda, wouldn't buy the vehicle back. They never apportioned blame to me. They simply said if a puncture occurs and a new tyre is needed.Replace with exact same tyre. No reference to tread depth just the pattern. The car has performed fine as when first purchased, when the pirelli was changed back to an original. As for the DSG,I can't see this being the culprit. Don't forget they replaced this with the control unit and the car was still dropping gears when cruise was on. Let's hope the new vehicle I pick up on Saturday is free from this sought of intrinsic fault.

well my 2014 (April) 4x4 DSG combi goes this Saturday. Having been in and out of the dealers for a problem when putting the cruise control on, (it dropped down two gears and revs shot up) it finally went into limp mode whilst i was away in the lakes It was transported to a local dealer who had if for one month replaced the gearbox,the gear box management system, numerous codes all with the ahem,help of Skoda UK/Czechoslovakia but all to no avail. But then a breakthrough hooray!!!! The answer, (are you sitting comfortably). I had a puncture about a mth or so before the cruise started playing up. The Tyre was replaced with a pirelli. exact same dimentions but, and you guessed it a different tread pattern from the michelins on the other three, and this I kid you not was, via the independent four wheel drive system sending info to the control that this wheel was going 1km faster than all the others. Ok, i asked the problem found whats the fix? following a further puncture I'd have to make sure of replacing it with the exact same tyre. Not good enough. So the things going. Oh, I should mention. Skoda UK sent flowers just before Christmas, how nice.

I did all what you mentioned, And as i stated in my other thread.. I told Soda UK I had irrefutable evidence to back up my claims but it was all to no avail. They stated that ''we have noted your concerns''.

Just to say. I contacted Skoda UK with a problem regarding RRG Rochdale. They stated because RRG were a franchised business there was nothing they could do. I believe although not 100% sure that all Skoda dealership s are in fact franchisees? ...not good.

Hi, I had my car booked into RRG Skoda at Rochdale a couple of months ago.fault on memory seat and blue tooth connectivity. Picked it up later the same day told diagnostic equipment used, technician couldn't fix memory seat but would I like to visit another one of their branches miles away so another tech could look at it.A 5 min call had been made via my cars blue tooth and no problem found so there must be a compatability issue with the phone I use? Now, I subsequently discover no equipment whatsoever was used. absolutely no call was made in my vehicle and the service receptionist was the one who ? Worked on the vehicle. It was stood outside the workshop for 3 hrs then stood another 3 hrs when it was brought in. The actual amount of time the receptionist was at the car was 21 mins. how do I know all this? I have a dash cam. informed the general manager who was san fairy Ann about the whole matter. I only got a written apology after I'd contacted trading standards and others. I contacted Skoda UK who said we have noted this dealership on our system but....nothing we can do because they are a franchised business. I guess without going on you know that when the car is changed nxt it's going to be another manufacturer. .. so be aware of this dealership and obviously any others you trust your vehicle to.

Hi everyone, Taking delivery of a Superb elegance 170 bhp DSG 4x4 at the end of the month. Would appreciate any comments re-this vehicle? Many thanks
