  1. the last few days the blowers in the car have been intermitent, they will work for a few minutes then you get a whirring noise, sounds like a blockage and the flow of air stops or slows greatly, usually a few minutes later they return to normal, could this be the blower motor on its way out and packing up ?? thanks
  2. i also get a fault "passenger compartment over average temp"
  3. i have just started having this issue, i have a dash cam in but its wired to the ignition so only uses power when engine is on, car runs ok but occasionally automatic central locking wont work, dont use start stop so can i just ignore this or is any harm being done to the car ??? thanks
  4. no diamond car mats, unsure about aliexpress, ones from diamond are perfect
  5. have ordered them from diamond car mats, how long did your take to come, ordered more than a week ago and not got a date yet? do they come from uk or overseas ? thanks
  6. same here was wiping down and hoovering car everyday
  7. job complete 2 weeks ago for £1300 and was fine, a week after fixed started to get white bits again, back into skoda last week and they cleaned the vents again (free) had it back a week now and seems ok
  8. update, bit the bullet and booked it into skoda was there 4 days, fault was the evaporating unit that was breaking down and the white bits were the aluminium coating which were breaking off during use, they replaced the evaporating unit but whilst stripping the dash down the heater matrix was found to be leaking as well so had to be replaced, in total for evap unit removed and replaced was £1100, then an extra £180 for heater matrix, reason so expensive as its a full dash out job. so if you have this issue it is an expensive fault to fix, but for me glad ive had it done as could not put up with it any longer and i intend to keep the car long term!!
  9. has anyone bought full coverage car mats ? advertised on facebook eg diamond car mats or dreamcarmatz1, look great but suspicious as have ordered things advertised on facebook before only to be scammed, anyone bought any? if yes any good ? which sites are legit ? thanks
  10. have been quoted £1100 from skoda to replace the evaporation unit and £1800 at a nearby skoda/vw specialist, what do people think considering its a full dash out job, am prob gunna have the car another 3 years or so so cant put up with the bits ??.
  11. rang dealer but not been to site
  12. has anybody had this issue and actually had the evalorating unit replaced? if yes did it fix the problem? worried about spending a fortune but the problem still being there
  13. pollen filter has been checked and is fine
  14. yes tried that as well as blowing them through with a powerful airline, i bought some foam which was sprayed into the unit behind the filter, was going to maybe spray some of this foam direct into the vents ??
  15. no one has access to my car except me so not a prank, if you shine a light into the vents you can see the white bits, dont know wether to spray some foam directly into the vents to see if it clears. its not all the time so it must be something breaking up which is making me think its the evaporating unit
  16. few months ago started getting white bits from vents but quite a lot which covers my dash and door panels, so far have done a vent bomb, put the foam through the unit behind the filter (filter is fine by the way), blew an airline through all the vents, check nothing loose letting particles in. all this done and still the same, my reckoning is it must be something already in the system as the filter is fine, ive been to a local vw/skoda repair shop who are stumped, been to local air con specialist who not sure, i have read maybe coming from the evaporator unit ??? i love the car and plan to keep long term but cant put up with this issue any longer, i know to check the evaporator is a big job but willing to pay to solve the problem, smaller repair places are a bit unwilling to complete such a big job so i think i have to bite the bullet and go to local dealer no matter the cost!!! any help or advise appreciated before i spend a fortune ?????
