SeanF

Skoda in T Wells did mine on Friday just gone. I had told them that the ABS and traction control until was already failing and that I was aware of the recall... They replaced the entire unit for me, parts and labour for free. They had to keep the car over the weekend but gave me brand new 17 plate 4x4 yeti to play with for the weekend. Pretty good service all in all!

Mine is 200bhp already... ;-) Can get it remapped to 250bhp when I get the money together though!

127 SeanF 2.0 TFSI Hatch. Originally from Hampshire dealer. Now with me in East Sussex

Nope... apparently no emissions updated needed as it's the petrol model. At least that's what they've told me...

Popped into Skoda today... they confirmed the recall on my car...fault with ABS and ECS will hopefully likely be fixed when they do the software update that should stop it overheating... booked in for next week so we'll see what happens!

I'll pop in and see them face to face tomorrow as I'll be passing by too... Petrol one. Drives like a dream... only other problem I have with it is a whining sound sometimes when pulling away on a hill in 1st and again if I touch over 80mph on the dual carriageway.... I suspect it's an easy fix problem that isn't linked to the ABS fiasco... Anyone else had Skoda take their car back and sort it out on this recall?

Nope seller didn't have the recall letter and didn't mention it either. I test drove it twice, a week apart... first time for an hour second time for 2 hours with a break in between to check the engine all over and all seemed fine. I put fuel in an hour later and then had an engine management light come on and then a week later the ABS and traction control lit up and it flashed brake failure at me too... Took it to my mechanic for diagnostic and checked and test drove it plugged in. All sensors are functioning properly and it all points to the control unit and pump... I've only had it just over a week so the previous owner may not even have received a recall letter yet! I checked the VIN with Skoda earlier on their website and it said that a recall had been issued for the car...phoned my local Skoda dealership and told them and they've taken details and I'm now waiting for them to phone me back...

I picked up a 2009 limited edition VRS a week ago... unfortunately a private sale and sure enough the ABS and ECS light are now coming on... you reckon Skoda will sort this out in light of this recall etc... I'm not sure where I stand?!
