My car, a 2010 Fabia SE TSI 1.2 Petrol, has developed a bad rattle. Mileage is 38500 miles. Engine has a CBZ number. On starting up and idling, it sounds like a very noisy old diesel. When driving it’s as smooth as silk. Stop at a junction and back comes the rattle from seemingly behind the engine but in front of the footwell. So I am assuming I have the same cam chain problem. It has not been dealer serviced since new; there are some dubious stamps in the service book. I thought I would put it in for a 40,000 service at ŠKODA and see what they come up with and take it from there. If anyone has any further advice I would be grateful.

Looking at 2016 models such as 1.6 Octavia Estate SE DSG perhaps. Are there any issues I need to be aware of? Also grateful for any upgrade information on the satnav for the 2014 1.6 Estate TDI CR Elegance DSG. Some manufacturers charge ridiculous prices for software upgrades of satnav systems. Will that be needed with this model? Any known issues? I would rather make do with a TomTom than be sucked into that malarkey. Thanks for for any advice.
