Would the aa pick it up from a mot station not a garage if it was a dangerous fault and take it to my chosen garage

£600 is daylight robber, get it picked up by the AA or similar and dropped at kwik fit and have a weekend away with the £300 you will save sorry reading original post I wasn’t sure if it was marked as dangerous, if it’s still got a valid mot happy days just take away

I have the 2.0 tdi and My fly wheel rattled its self to death at 90,000 miles and I was £1850 for clutch and fly wheel

I wouldn’t waste your money on the golf shocks I tried them on my previous 14 plate octavia for the same reason and they had zero effect on the ride quality, ended up getting rid of the car because it was going to rattle my fillings out, I think maybe it’s the springs that are too hard rather than the shocks but I am no expert

Hi sorry not an answer to your question but can I ask how much the DMF cost to replace, I think my one is on the way out , did you have any symptoms before it let go on the motorway thanks.

Can’t help with droning noise as my car is not a 4x4 but it has the same engine and dsg box as yours, totally agree I found the way the gearbox worked in town was terrible, the only real solution is a tcu tune, check out a company called TVS engineering they do a drivability tune costs £400 though but completely transformed the car, makes it 100% nicer to drive expensive but worth it for me as most of my driving is in the city and I plan on keeping my car for a long time
