Resistor is next to the blower motor. Follow the wires from the blower to the resistor. Very easy to remove. No need to remove the glovebox. Just take off the foam trim under the glovebox 2 plastic round screw plugs

It's not that bad. The resistor and the wiring are the most likely culprits.

If you strip out the glovebox and the centre console and follow the wiring from blower motor you will find many hard and sharp points where the wires are rubbing. Your fuse is blowing because it has short circuit.

Ok think I see what you mean. If your charged for something and your not getting it then obviously that's fraud.
Like I previously said when you take your car to a dealership it's generally repaired in an efficient time (as fast as possible ) think about what I'm saying here. It's been that way forever. It won't be changed anytime soon. These people get out of bed in the morning to make money for themselves, the company the owners the shareholders.
In an ideal world the manufacturer would own and run the garage but they don't because it's not lucrative enough and it's nothing but hassle.

I don't know where the fraud bit is coming from can you explain your comment . 30 minutes is the time given by the dealer to the Technician to do an oil change service.
I now work for an independent there no time limits imposed and we don't follow what the dealer does as it's not value for money. Like spark plugs that you spend most of your time bleating on about. ..They just don't last long enough.

In my opinion and experience I would recommend you do have your car servicing done at the dealer for the first 5 year's. Then when the brown stuff does hit the fan you have a good chance of factory goodwill. I remember a Yeti coming in whilst working for Skoda. Timing chain failure. I stripped down the engine total mess. Best thing was a new engine. Customer was upset and we went for factory goodwill. Car was almost 4 year's old and it had its 3rd service done by an independent. So Suk would only contribute 20% . The customer had saved himself £30 on his service but lost out by hundreds on this repair. You pays the money you make your choice.

Other than the Citygo which is t+d service regieme all the other vehicles don't need a service for 2 years so where's the prerequisite there then?

Well news to me. Whenever a vehicle came in to any of the Vag dealer's I worked for and I had to carry out a repair under warranty I just asked for a warranty job sheet from the service advisor. As long as the vehicle was under 3 year's old and less than 60000 miles or unlimited mileage in the first 2 year's it was full steam ahead. Nobody ever asked me to check the service history.

Why do you think that? Goodwill claim will not help but you will still have your warranty.

You will struggle to find an easier car to do an oil change on than the Citygo. All you need is a 19mm spanner, monkey grips and something to drain the oil into. One new sump plug and an oil filter and 3.4 litres of oil. No undertray in your way. If you go on YouTube you will find out how to turn your service light off. Very easy. Then you can hiccup in your tyre's and top up your coolant and screen wash .

Vag wall's and hurdles are up. Like I said before if they pay for yours they will have to pay for everyone else's. Good luck with it. Never saw anyone get a free clutch while I worked for them.

Fox urine. No idea how you would be able to source that liquid though.

Why don't you send him a message. Click on his name and press send message.

Sounds like a good result. A noise is a indication of something usually mechanical is about to fail IMHO.

Reference the instrument cluster issue. Think you will find its the cluster is the problem. Changed a fair few when I worked for Skoda.

How very sad for the family that was devastated in this case. I'm praying this fool drop's the soap in the showers.

Don't wimp out. Fight your case and don't listen to your wife. I think you have a good chance. Skoda are only giving almost the amount they overcharged you anyway.

I knew this clutch issue would cause friction.

Colour it in with a felt tip.

Yep. That's where I was going. The cure if it is is too adjust the door's in at the front ever so slightly on the hinge this will cure it if it goes when you tape the front door line.

They would change the pollen filter for the extra 130 odd quid. They will probably try and sell you an ac service and they might ring and say it needs a rear brake clean inspection and adjustment if you did go to them.
