  1. We've ordered the 1.0tsi sel dsg fabia in july and been told that the waiting time is about a year. Had a phone call from the dealer last week - new build week is 51/2023 and delivery roughly end jan/beginning of feb 👍 hope you won't have to wait too long
  2. Hello guys, our local dealership has offered us a brand new Fabia SE L 110 DSG (hasn't been built yet, added wireless smart link, metallic paint and rear disc brakes) for £18500. We tried to add power folding wing mirrors and back seat arm rest only to be told that this is not available for the UK market and can't be done? We are a bit shocked to be honest, as UK Skoda charge roughly £2k more for the same spec models in comparison with the other EU markets and you can't even get basic little things like them 2 mentioned above? I don't think we are being treated fairly here in the UK 🤣 The dealership also added the alloy and tyre insurance and a 3 year service plan for free + £500 deposit contribution. Do you think we got a good deal or should I go to VW and Seat to see what they can do? Don't really want to spend more than £19k on a car. Thank you for all your opinions 👍🙂 Patrick
  3. I have the same problem when android phone connected. Works fine with iPhone though. It's really strange.
  4. Hello gentlemen. I just bought my 2.0 tdi 2013 Dsg Octy, 119xxx miles on clock. All my problems are probably related to the high mileage, but here is my list anyway: - DMF went just after I bought the car, seller paid for all the repairs - rear wiper washer stopped working - had to change all the shocks and springs, without any effect though, it still feels like the car is falling apart when driving here in Essex (UK). Loud noise in the cabin, dunno how to describe it. Car feels really hard, I'm getting all the banging from uneven surface - steering wheel vibrates like crazy, even tough I had the wheel balancing and tracking done twice, tyres in good condition - license plate light units falling out, literally - a lot of rattling and vibrating in the cabin, from passenger side and especially the vents when accelerating - car won't move for like 2-3 second after releasing the brake pedal - squeaky noise when breaking fast (suddenly). It's not the typical brake squeak, it's more like it's related to springs - car vibrates when in idle, it's coming from the engine bay, probably the engine silentblock (mount)? It just feels like the car is... sick, like it's falling apart. I was stupid enough to take out a loan on this car which I can't repay right now so I'm stuck with it. The car is only 6 years old but sometimes it's hard to believe...
  5. Do I need to plug in some additional adapter to make the app work? Or I just connect it to my car via Bluetooth? Thanks
  6. Hello guys. I recently bought my 2013 Octavia with MIB1 Amundsen. Is there any way I could do the firmware update myself without using the vcds? There are no updates available at the skoda update portal, which I found weird. Part number: 5E0035874 Hardware: 039 Software: 0171 I only care about the firmware (software) itself as I do not really use the sat nav. Thank you.
