Its also illegal unless you have fitted headlamp washers

You let your car unlocked while you went to pay for fuel? Lucky it was only an ice scraper you lost. Hopefully you learned something there.

If it is icy enough to freeze a press to open plastic flap then you can be sure the doors will be frozen closed. Leave it where it is and prevent door pocket rattles. Vaseline on the door seals if they freeze, scraper in the plastic fuel flap where there is a slot for it.

I had the mfsw button replaced, same fault, no need for (or any rational expectation for) a replacement steering wheel. I love that my car gets washed each time, my dealer staff never do it by hand, always by jet wash, so the 'detailing' would surely suffer the same fate driving into heavy rain at 70mph? On the wheel issue I am intrigued that you have had yours refurbished as I can't find anywhere to do that - can you let us have the details and costs?

Tried switching passenger heated seat on, level 3, didn't get warm until passenger sat on it.

I have the winter pack and thus heated seats, bu the passenger seat appears to remain cold when switched on until someone sits on it. Other marques with heated seats do the same, so I assumed this is the case - of course it may just not feel warm unless sitting on it - but I think it is sensitive to weight just as the seat belt sign is

I thought the heated seats wouldn't work unless you sit on them (or enough weight is on them)...........like the seat belt warning?

VW group have suffered drop in sales due to the emission scandal which is why I think the latest finance incentives are on, I doubt they will take them away soon

Is the phone on low charge when you get the 'crash'? If so that is the problem - the system can't cope with the power drain to run the phone and itself. Charge from the power socket until in the green sector.

Lights on auto and mie does this every time, vRS October 13

I have had the screen fail to respond to touch and steering wheel controls didn't work at the same time. Irregular though. On the 'crashing when phone plugged in' problem, I have had this from new and appears to be when the phone is low on charge and I assume drawing too much from the USB, which does charge the phone but is not there for that purpose.

I assume you mean tyres, crass use of 'boots' ignored. Mine came with Bridgestones, very quickly wore (under 14k), replaced with Dunlop which have so far lasted 17k and still wear to go. Last vRS needed front set at 21, rears went at 22k due to sawtooth ihg, just as fir last vRS, plenty of tread left both times but the racket became unbearable

Yes, very easy to change and I'm sure it's a 2025, but pop the fob open (instructions in manual) to check. Buy a decent replacement like Duracell.

And as another poster said - flashing DRLs - illegal.

Really? Have you ever travelled onto the Moors, or up the A19 and looked down on Teesside, the air is very much not fine!

Almost certainly the same discs, I echo Niall for where I live and my previous experiences with discs. This is not a driver/use issue it is manufacturing, out of interest the hubs on mine still had the paint as for the fronts, there is a real issue here and Skoda/VAG need to admit it. After all brakes are a very serious safety issue

Almost certainly a bad batch. Seems to be autumn 13 registered cars from what the dealer says. I am not from Scotland and I see Niall is from the borders, do Scotland but not the highlands. Salt on roads and the other conditions should not only affect rear discs anyway, should they? This is not something to be explained away by where the owner lives, or how they drive. That Skoda are offering some contributions toward repair shows something, does it not?

You could also look in the handbook .......

Likewise mine were in a similar condition, I was offered 60%. The dealer mentioned having found the same in a fair few 63 reg vRS, 4x4 and Yeti models. Like Niall I haven't used acid based wheel cleaner and my front discs are perfect. This is a quality issue not a user one. I have done nothing differently, nor driven differently, this than my last vRS (except no 100+ drives, which should have caused greater wear in the last). My last vRS needed new rear discs and pads after 124,000 miles and 4 years. 28,000 miles and under 2 years for this one. Anyone with a similar aged model from the range check your rear discs, there must be more out there and a class complaint to Skoda is needed, with evidence

can anyone help with a specific answer/.

Neily have you removed/replaced or know someone who has? On a vRS too, not standard bumper

Batvanvrs I do mean that piece, but fir a vRS. That one is the standard bumper model part, where there is a left and right piece, no centre and the left and right aren't the same either, Neily03 I do hope so,as bat shows the standard bumper parts are, out of interest they are around £9 here.

Does anyone know if the reflector is replaceable?

Has anyone replaced this, someone has hit my car and the reflector, right hand piece, is broken. Is it replaceable, I can see the standard bumper reflectors online, but not for the vRS. If anyone has how much are they.

Not to me but this looks to me like its more than one or two individual cases. Everyone with a car from that period should look at the rear discs and let's force a proper response from Skoda
