Has anyone used Vrs Northampton before?

The car needs oil, filters and spark plugs. All brake discs, pads, fluid were replaced last year when it had a minor service. Going with the schedule it is now due a major service. Everything on the car is still original even the exhaust. Apart from consumables I've been lucky. I will avoid Halfords being as tho it's a specialist car. Lol.

Thanks guys you have been most helpful👍

Has anyone ever took there Vrs to Halfords for major service and are they any good? I took it Skoda last 4 times but now it's at 10yrs old they don't really want to know. Only what money they can screw.

Yes exactly as described and no it doesn't hinder the performance It's just annoying. So no maintenance required at this stage?

Hi my 2010 Ferb Vrs TSI has developed a squeak at 82k miles under load when accelerating. It's sounds like a pet mouse under the bonnet. It is fairly intermittent whilst driving although it likes to give off a little squeak nown again before it takes off. It's quite annoying as it is quite pronounced especially with the radio off. I read somewhere that it could be down to a belt on the supercharger. Can anyone clarify? Many thanks 5yrs and counting

It will be interesting to see how many of these are still around in 10 years time and how high the miles go.

If I was buying. That one would be somewhere near the bottom of the pile as I can't stand that colour seat and much prefer the chrome grill and silver lights over the black ones but that's my own personal preference. Why I say hard to come by lol.

Nice one same spec as mine. If you are planning to have a look at the car at some point be sure to check the tailgate where the number plate lights sit. Mine had corroded and didn't notice until after. Skoda replaced the tailgate last August under the corrosion warranty. Customer services very good in this respect but it was a hassle i could of done without. And the VW paint shop didn't exactly do the best of jobs. Shabby in places and needing a respray.

That's what i paid for mine in sept 2015 at 53000. Sadly now book price stands it at 4.7k private 3.5k trade. Just to give you an idea on the depreciation side of things.

Hard to come by those 14 plates.

No I put standard in it once just to try it. Car didn't like it. Next day limp mode engine warning light. Other than that only ever used V-Power nitro. Car loves it.

Lol that's good mate compared to my old MINI Cooper S which drank a litre every 200 miles or so pmsl.

Both long and short distances. Thrown everything at it where possible. Car always thanks me. I do tend to drive it more respectfully now though since the spark plug incident last year but that was my fault giving it too much thrash at the wrong time. Cold engine, old plugs, crap fuel.

About 120 quid a year costs me in oil between services. I can live with that for such a reliable warm hatch.
