new skoda with a tappety engine
sparkes1 replied to alex31's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I've recently bought a 12 plate VRS with the tsi engine and 7000 miles. It too has a tappety engine. I queried it with the dealer and was told they are all like it. The car drives perfectly and the noise is not noticable from inside the car. -
wing mirror glass fell out
sparkes1 replied to baldy1926's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Pulled away and the drivers side glass just fell out. £51+vat at the dealers to replace. I Wonder if this problem occurs only on models with heated mirrors. Maybe the heater weakens the bonding. Pretty poor whatever it is -

sparkes1 replied to Suncat's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Hi everyone I've had my se since April and have not had any serious problems. Sometimes there is a slight hesitation around 1800rmp but to be honest I probably wouldn't have taken any notice if I hadn't read this thread.Still the best car I've driven -
The new vRS is going to have to be something very special to make me part with my hard earned. Looks like I'll be keeping hold of my SE for a few years, The new shape is sh**e

There is a SE unsold sitting in the showroom at Prestons in Forest Gate London.Also a very nice 56 plate silver vrs which someone had part exchanged for an SE. I Love my SE but cant see why someone would trade in a 6month old car for basically the same car in a different colour

Baking a new Fabia what have they done

They are all scone -
I've bought 3 fabias from Prestons. Find them friendly and efficient. Always polite and always return phone calls. Would recommend them every time

Also make sure you take out the right cover. The cheaper one at the dealers only covers the amount of finance outstanding if there is a shortfall. The other policy repays the diferrance upto

keys locked in Furby in boot - HELP
sparkes1 replied to Rich-VRS's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Rich, Calm down,people on here really do offer top advice. I don't often contribute but I read the posts almost every night. If you keep on carrying that huge chip on your shoulder someone will brick your window without your request -
I had mine done.Being a new car I thought might aswell. Water does seem to just fall off it.I've washed it once since I've had it,and just dried it off and nice and shiny again. I suppose time will tell. Probably be back on here in 6 months moaning about it.

Looks like one from a Felicia

Hi Stu, Yes I do think SUK has handled the whole situation badly.I ordered my car in Febuary aswell,I got it last week.My dealer still is uncertain when the next lot are due.It is a ridiculous situation. I have read on here that some people have cancelled their order,which is a pity because it is worth waiting for but it serves SUK right for messing up.Any way good luck and enjoy your new car

It was a bit naughty and I will be taking more care from now on. Just couldn't resist it.Going up to the lake district at the end of the May,should give it a nice steady run

So do I mate and I'm 48 -
Back to the original point. I took my Special Edition out tonight. 70mph in 6th and floored it speedo pretty quickly reached 110mph with still some. I think the car needs some attention! ps. I'ts quick enough for an old fart like me
-
Even odder is the fact we all know they are in the country. I feel lucky to have got my one.Also I saw my one just after it was dropped off,it was absolutley filthy,looked like it had been in a ralley.God knows where they are storing them

You wont be dissapointed

Picked up the SE today,I can now see why you lot on 'ere are so fond of the Vrs.What a fantastic machine.I,ve had a couple of 16v 100bhp furbys but there is just no comparison.If I keep on looking out of the window with this stupid grin on my face the neighbours are gonna complain.The best bit so far is the kick between 3rd & 4th.Oh yes I'm hooked.

Hi all, I,ve not posted for a while,but have been reading with interest everyone's frustration over the delivery of the special editions.Ordered mine in Febuary and at last it turned up today. I was second on the list.Pick it up tomorrow,#496.

I wasn't given a choice. I was told the first 2 were just being sent out,and basically get what you are given. Hope you get what you want
-
Thanks,my dealer told me 7. It all seems a bit hit and miss. Lets hope not too much longer. I'm due for the second one to come in.

Hello, Very frustrating to see the pics of all those special editions sitting in Grimsby.Ordered mine on 21 Feb and have heard nothing since. Any more news anyone?:confused:
