Map update for Amundsen (Nov 2016)
Montieous replied to Skeddy's topic in Skoda Rapid & Spaceback (2012 > )
Appears the new update (V9) has just come out. http://www.satnavdisc.co.uk/Skoda/LATEST-2017-SKODA-AMUNDSEN-RNS315-V9-NEW-SD-CARD-SAT-NAV-UPDATE-EU-UK I'm contemplating updating as I'm also on V4 which appears to be around 2013 maps. -
Rear Rattle - Rapid 2012
Montieous replied to Montieous's topic in Skoda Rapid & Spaceback (2012 > )
Well, I've Pfledge'd up all the rubber seals and the rattles remained, so out of frustration I slammed the boot lid a little harder than usual and lo and behold the main annoying rattle has ceased to be. In my case I think there is some wiring going through the boot lid that has come lose. So brute force actually worked :D (hopefully it lasts until the summer) I have noticed there is a hard plastic cylinder shaped thing around the bump stop on both my rear wheels, which you can shake around quite freely making a tapping sound. The top section is only slightly above the top of my wheel (I'm not sure whether this is by design or if it's broken though; weather has been too horrid for me to have a proper look) The climate control is bit funky :D I gave up on Auto, all it does it blow at full speed all the time. -

Just ordered some Gummi Pfledge so shall give that a go. Don't know about the bump stops but will have a look at that as well. And my music is normally on, but sometimes you just want to hear a smooth ride :p Thanks for the responses Thomas -
Hello, I've had my Skoda Rapid 62 plate for about a year now and it's been brilliant apart from an annoying rattle in the rear of the car (especially prominent on the fantastic quality roads around Manchester) It's quite a "rapid" rattle when going over rough surfaces, and sounds like something light that's tapping metal. Positional wise it sounds like its coming from the rear passenger side (I could be completely wrong about that though) I've spent hours trying to isolate the cause with no luck so hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. Things I've checked: 1) Removed the spare wheel + all the tools 2) Removed the parcel shelf and lowered the rear seats + tried rattling the seat belts 3) Checked the cabling to both rear lights and added extra cable ties, Reached as far into the car as my arm could go to find anything loose but everything feels secure. The only cabling I'm unsure about is the central brake light, which I believe is routed through the two rubber seals are the top of the boot lid? Thanks for any responses Thomas
