VRSfan_78

UPDATE: Skoda dealership looked at the car today and diagnosed a faulty oil seal (not sure which but guessing probably crankshaft) which had allowed oil to leak on to clutch plate so now getting the whole thing repaired under warranty after all. {sigh of relief}

Well it’s the same commute I’ve been doing for years and my previous mk3 VRS which I had for 5 years didn’t need a new clutch! Plus, my job means I’m lucky enough to commute outwith rush hour and all at the quieter west end of the M8 so rarely stuck in traffic

So! Title says it all really. Waiting on Skoda to get back to me with a price but they’re already saying it’s not covered under warranty and it’ll be up to me to pay. No way a clutch should be going after 19k (mostly motorway) miles! Anyone else had premature clutch failure?

How did you get on the dealership? Asking because I also have the climate issues you described. Any info about the recall?

Meteor grey VRS with aftermarket wheels and painted callipers 😁😍

Just wondered from those who already have their Mk4 VRS (still waiting for mine!), what tyres are fitted?

Yes. It will probably be moved around whilst on loan so that it can be used in various driving environments.

I ordered a TSi, 6G Manual with winter pack option. Build week was quoted to me by the dealer on the day of order and I haven't been told anything different since then. Crossing my fingers and hoping it's not delayed by the current World disorder!!

But of course

I own a mk3 VRS but it's a diesel so it might be unfair to compare them. Both are brilliant!!

I had the pleasure of driving this at the weekend! (ps. No comments from police haters please - it's a job and someone has to do it. Remember this forum is just about the cars so keep it friendly please )

I ordered mine on 8 Jan 2021 and have been told that it's been allocated build week 15 and should be delivered in May :(

I’ve got my eye on these 😍

Exactly what I was after. Thank you so much!
