Thanks for this. Can I ask the exact age of the car? I'm hitting a brick wall due to mine being over 5 years. Apparently that's the cut off for goodwill. Thanks.

Car is 5 and half years old, I've owned it for 3. Full skoda service history and they have offered zero "goodwill" as its over 5 years. Been on to a few solicitors and they are not hopeful of a decent outcome. Even though this problem is well documented on here and elsewhere. Anyone here had a car over 5 years and got goodwill from Skoda? I don't I have any other option but a second hand engine and get it fitted. Truly gutted with VAG over this.

Ok please help!! I've a 10 plate vrs with the tsi engine. Just been told the timing chain stretched and new engine required. £5k for engine plus labour. Can anyone that has had this issue let me how you got it resolved? As I certainly don't have £5k+ sitting about for a new engine. It's a full skoda service history with 55k miles. I'd love to hear recent results so I'm armed when I speak with skoda UK. MUch appreciated.

That's great, cheers.

New to here and looking for some advice on colour coding the chrome surround. Heard a lot about the problems of painting over chrome and stone chips etc. What's the best way to paint it?

Hi, saw your thread and was after some info on removing the grill? I also want the chrome painted. Was it easy to get off? Thanks.

I am looking at doing the same. How are you getting on? Was the grill easy to get off?

Hi, your VRS looks awesome. Was after some advice on replacing the front and rear badges with new one and colour coding chrome grill surround. Where did you order the new badges? Did you do the work yourself and if so was it easy enough? Cheers

Hi, wondering if this is a new grill surround or did you paint the chrome original? Can you also advise if the grill is easy enough to get off? Cheers
