AU61 NOB - on a heavily modified B8 A4.

TH6 8EST - Bugatti Chiron. Hate mis-spaced plates but I'll let this one go because the car is epic.

Spotted 81LLS to spell "Bills" on a Range Rover this evening. Must be used to getting hit with big ones owning from RR ownership.

B16 KNB on a Jag LO53 RSS - Blacked out blingtastic Merc, mis spaced to presumably suggest "Losers". Ironic.

1 year on approved used, but I am intending to take up the "all in" package once it expires for a further 2 years warranty. As @Teir has highlighted above neither the franchised dealer, nor Skoda UK provide the warranty. As you have rightly mentioned this may be concern for nothing. Might never go wrong or might have no issues with a warranty claim. Ultimately though it's a £30k+ car and there are plenty of others for sale that hopefully don't have these potential headaches and hassle. I'm just surprised there seems to be an abundance of approved used cars that don't seem to be fully serviced and maintained according to schedule.

It's certainly an option, but to be honest I'm going to hold out for another example, ideally one slightly newer with the 190ps TSI engine. Not in any major rush, mine is due a service but I'd expected to need to do that anyway. This one just happened to be well specced and not a million miles from home. Which is unusual for me when buying a car 😆

Thanks all for the replies. Sorry I should have mentioned in the original post, the dealer did agree to do the haldex service once I brought it to their attention. My concern however was around the fact that even if they did it as a condition of purchase, it still would have been done 10k/1yr too late Vs the schedule. The approved used warranty T's and C's suggest that there is a 4 week or 500 mile tolerance on the recommended manufacturer's schedule. Beyond this it implies future claims may be rejected. On that basis passed on this particular example and the search continues...

Hi all, Viewed an approved used Kodiaq today which was lovely, however digging into the service history it appears that the haldex was not serviced at 3yr/30k as per the manufacturer recommended schedule. Car is now 4yr/40k. Suspect this sort of thing happens all the time, as another approved used example I enquired about today only appears to have had basic oil changes done and no record of haldex again, spark plugs, or brake fluid on that one. Am I being too picky here to expect a Skoda approved used car, priced accordingly, to be fully serviced in accordance with the schedule? Concerned about being left in the lurch on a warranty claim in the future either via approved used or "all in" once that expires, due to the absence of the service on schedule. Not as if haldex failures/issues are particularly uncommon. What are your thoughts Briskoda? Would you pass on it on that basis? Thanks

I never bothered with touching the foam, indents fine by itself. Still going strong on mine after all this time. Thanks for the shout out, glad it helped 😀

What revs do you see on a 280 at 70mph with DSG 6 speed? Is it noticeably lower on the 272 with the 7 speed?

My bad... You are right, was looking at the motorcycle guide where 4.1.4c isn't listed! 🤦‍♂️ It does appear to suggest that rule is specifically for halogen units which leaves it a bit of a grey area for LED in HID, but the literal interpretation of the rule itself should fail the conversion.

Is it? 🤔

I've been servicing mine at Vantage Morecambe for the past few years and service has always been good and price reasonably competitive.

Process will be virtually the same, as adaptations or coding is done in almost the same way.

It will have the fuel port injection if it's a 280 that isn't the new 2021+ version. The all in scheme is absolutely fantastic in terms of pricing, it's significantly cheaper than the insured warranty scheme alone, never mind the extra MOTs, roadside assistance and servicing.
