Thanks for the feedback. The Yeti was long gone ages ago replaced with a caddy van but now back in a Skoda again

Its the one on Kyle St i went to.

Well it is Hendrys i went to. The issue i have is that Not that easy my friend as not many Skoda dealerships in Scotland and this one is local to me. Well thats the issue, is it worth taking the chance or let it get worse so it might be easier to diagnose. I felt if they have to strip the engine then it should be covered by warranty.

So i have had this car just over a year, but there has been a knocking sound for nearly the full duration. I took it into the dealer and they replaced a cv joint or something under warranty but the noise is still there. Again taken it back to the dealership who said they cannot find any fault (they were only looking for fault in the suspension as i said it sounds like a drive shaft or something). When i got it back i said i would get a video and send it to them, which i did. When the car is under load there is a distinctive knocking sound...they concluded its not an issues with the suspension components but might be the engine. I have the full components warranty from Skoda but they have said if the issue that is not covered by warranty then i could be charged, with a potential up to 20 hours of work (maybe more). There is the video from the dealership to my house and the various times it happened. Few different senior techs and management went out and confirmed the noise is there, but they cannot determine where from. Also suggested to keep running it until it gets worse, but i did say what happens if its a catastrophic engine failure, he didnt have an answer to that. So would you authorise the investigation into it? saying ill be without a car for a considerable amount of time, but should get a courtesy car. Also any other had this issue and have a suggestion what it could be ? TIA

Welcome :)

I know it has been asked about these headunits and i have used the search already but struggling to find the answer im looking for Thanks in advance for any help. Rob

This year ill be camping to bring down costs and get to enjoy the sat night

So unfortunately this happened: ended up getting another one from a scrappy for £25 Now just re replace the badges, was initially going for L&K ones, tried them but didnt go well with the colour of the car, so will replace with newer style ones soon

When the boredum kicks in what better to do than clean your car

Beading on my vRS with some Autofinesse Desire

The the reviews they have been given from others, it seems like they are good, also they come to you to do the remap and pricing doesnt seem too bad. I have also noticed my mpg going from 48 to 51 on a usual run i do (when im not flooring it)

Yes it is the same engine at the FL VRS

It was the figures given by the tuning company, only true test when i get rolling road

So got my car remapped from Absolute Remaps in EK, they are mobile and came to me. really nice map, and pull like a train, got a little video and this is the best i could get with the rubbish weather conditions recently. They are saying will put up to approx 220bhp with 330ftlb torque. Totally changes the car and made it come alive!

I totally agree it does need lowered....all in good time my friend

I actually enjoyed TG tonight, was alot better than the others ones so far

Actually sorry Ben i remember you already asked me and im down England, well heading home at that time so thinking ill be stopping in at Gravity Show in Warwickshire on the way back see what its like.....

Has been a fantastic show in the past and hopefully numbers will be on the rise this year from last...anyone thinking of going to it ? Overstone Park Northampton NN6 0AB on facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/events/965235860181615/ Im definately heading down for it and camping the whole weekend

I might pop along to have a gander, depending on other commitments

not sure yet...im really like the whole VRS+ look and may go down that route with my own variation of it

Little bit of touching up today, every corner had paint removed from some form of contact with something else, so got myself some touch up paint and went to work In all honesty this is a temp fix as im looking to have the bumpers resprayed soon, or look at other options... Also been using some of this Dodo Juice Spray Air Frenshner....It smells incredible

Yep you sure did

I use Meguiars Super Degreaser, it works wonders then treat with Chemical Guys Silk Shine Dressing, thought 303 Aerospace Protection is really good as well

My partner is very lucky i machine polish cars for a living, but to her, before it was done she wasnt really caring lol Now on the other hand she is taking care of the car alot more than she usually does so win win in the end
