Hi sorry it’s sold

Hi Dean, I’ve just posted a for sale ad, but couldn’t find any template or lightning bolt widget when using my iPhone to access the forum. Let me know if I missed something, happy to re-jig to suit you and the other admins.

[UPDATE: Car is sold] Hello Briskoda! I got the notification yesterday that my Enyaq VRS is in the UK and on its way to me; so I need to sell my daily runner Skoda Superb to make space (according to my wife). So hereby request for interest! For the uninitiated - yes, this is a 3.6 litre V6 Skoda Superb. It is the size of a limousine (I am over 6’8” and fit comfortably with room for another me in back seat) and is super smooth and comfortable. And quick. bad stuff first: alloys have a couple of scratches, some discolouration on some of the chrome plastics, some stone chips on the bonnet down to base coat, a few scratches in plastic trim, some of the air vents are broken, some damage to the after market rubber boot liner - see pictures, happy to take/send more if you need. good stuff: recent MOT, less than 97000 miles, all seats heated and aircon, sun roof, never a mechanical issue with engine, full service history FSH, creamy smooth automatic box, V6 power, four wheel drive 4x4, newish tyres (+I’ll throw in a set of winters for the right price), I have installed a Qi phone charger which can go with the sale or I can remove if preferred, plus the full high spec of 2013 Elegance model - Bluetooth, CD changer, Digital radio, SD card reader, twin climate etc. ugly stuff: that twin hatch boot is just irritating… I need to shift it fairly quickly if I value my marriage and you’ll need to arrange collection from bonnie Aberdeenshire, Scotland. I’m looking for offers over £6,300.

Same here. Received letter on 20th August. Can't get a hold of local dealer to confirm.

Also got the Safety Recall 97DR - software update for body control letter. My issue is that my nearest garage (Specialist Cars Aberdeen) aren't answering their phones. I assume they are still shut-down after Aberdeen become a new COVID cluster and went into lock-down. Can anyone comment on how important, if at all, the update is? I.e. can it wait a while?

I shall try that this week sometime! Thanks Delboy

SO it looks like you can only buy the whole vent assembly as a unit, not just the trim?

Thank you Stu - will order the tool today and let everyone know how/if I got on. Can't see one. Maybe I'm missing it?

Hi folks, if anyone could help I would really appreciate it?

Help please! I was trying to fit a phone holder clip to the centre dashboard air vent and managed to pull off the trim and a few of the blades. Got blades back on but now can't get the surrounding face-trim back onto the vents (as you can see have already managed to snap/bend some of the fittings). Any tips/clues on how to fit this damn thing? Every time I think I've got it positioned correctly it just pops out again and I can't get it to sit flush with the dash. Anyone got links to where I can buy replacement part(s)?

Just had major service, MOT, brake fluid change, switch over to summer tyres at local Skoda garage. Around £600 including replacement wind screen washer pump which gave up the ghost. Good news is that the car made it through clean. (I tell you what lads and lassies, when they said that additional work would be charged at £108 per hour, I nearly fell off my chair! If only they would pay their mechanics a larger portion of the fee they charge their customers...) The weird thing is, other than the pump I also seem to have developed rather squeaky brakes, and one of the brakes isn't engaging as well as the other three causing car to very slightly twist when brakes are applied in earnest (at speed). However the garage checked the brakes, and all they said is that they could do with a clean.

Why didn't I think of that? Good call.

Picked up a nail in my new NSF winter tyre. There goes the possibility of selling the full set this summer! I now have a Continental winter tyre and three Avons on the car. Anyone have experience with running a mix of tyres? Is it likely to affect any of the mechanical components (certainly has thrown off tracking and the varying levels of grip are noticeable).
