This is march 2014 model sounds bit like issue. I am going to try in other modes to see if it happens then. This is something I could pass on to whoever checks car for me thanks
-
mine is standard box, its very strange just know its getting worse. i can be sitting at 2k revs, then blip it pulls back for micro second then all is ok again. I wondered if it only happened when cold but no its not that. Just bit unnerving when its starting to happen more it can do it then 2 mins later do it again then nothing till another day. if you just let your foot of accelerator your car keeps moving to certian extent this is a pull back you can feel it

Cheers JohnRowley was thinking whether a tuning box may help

Brio roof bars anyone?

Hell great find thanks been looking for cheap decent bars, glad i logged on now lol -
OK most like not going to like the answer but here goes, last couple months I am driving along varying speed and I get what can only be discribe as loss of power. It only happens for micro seconds. Almost like if you were foot to floor and you then let foot of. It pulls back, less than second then its ok. It sems to be getting more frequent and is worrying as just out of warranty. Has anyone had this and what it may be i am worried turbo is playing up 2014 VRS diesel model, 40K on clock. On from this they asked me if I want ed to extend warranty which i forgot about, has anyone actually done it a couple of months later. Or is that it if you miss it you cant pick it up latter. Was just wondering as if it is turbo then be cheaper through warranty lol Hope this makes sense. I have not got it on diagnostic with skoda yet as they only do it in the week and I have no time in week. Any answers greatfully received

I thought my bearings on back were going and your quite right the low profile bridgestones on there were the cause of the rumbling. Guy at Tyre place said it will go away with new tyres and it has. Never heard of before but the tyres where causing the rumble -

Sasha many thanks, I got it working by reseting Windows. Help switches up until it clicked on all 4 Windows. Although I did try the comforts setting again. But think it was the reset that sorted it. Worth knowing maybe. Thanks again -

Yes going through all those looks like it's called concern. Opening have it set all Windows will have play but not sure. Thanks for quick answer -
Hi have 64 plate VRS. Used to be able to close half open windows via key fob. Now it seems not to work. No idea why. I can't open or close them with fob. 100 percent I could few weeks ago. Anyone got any ideas please. Soumss like minor thing but useful when you forget to close one or more and hands full. Or open them as waking towards car on hot day
-
Cheers for replies yes I wondered about the cold. Resetting is worth knowing as in only find it it's not working when I am sat in traffic or on motorway. I can't stop and restart it then

Skoda Extended Warranty - worth the extra?
DaveG1962 replied to Mence's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
ok guys rehashing this one, my VRS diesel is out of standard warrenty in january, they want £270 quid for year with 250 excess or 357 with 100excess, covering all parts. Is it worth the call. I do 30k a year so probably answering my own question but all thougths are worth listening to please -
got to find insurance company who is happy to take it onboard first

Dan sent you PM

Well spoke to my insurance to get idea of what it will cost me and they will not even let me put one on. If it alters the BHP then its no go. So pain in ass. Had thought about just doing it but there is always chance of accident and not being able to remove. What insurance companies do you guys use who have boxs. Karl03V5 I was looking at DTUK box. Just bit annoyed as I sent them info on the fuel unit one but no not interested.
-
Thanks all so as long as it skews the right way thats fine. I am loath to tell insurance but will have to . I have only just got back into owning and running my own car as had company before. So my insurance only has 2 years no claims as thats all they would let me bring across from the company policy. May have to think on this one
