Hi Thanks for your detailed response, I really appreciate it. First off, your car looks awesome. If the Scala was my own (I care share with my wife) I'd probably make some adjustments like those you have as they really make the car look sportier. The black grill and alloys are such a good feature against the white. It's great to know about the suspension for lowering the vehicle, I had no idea this was an option so thanks for telling me this, I'll bear it in mind. Cheers, Paul

Thanks. It definitely sounds intentional in that case.

My dad mentioned this but we didn't know the technical term but he did describe the issue i'm having. I'll look it up and see what I can find. Thanks 😊

It doesn't go into the carpet/floor, it's as though it feels like it's reached its max press but then it goes a little further to reach the floor. I noticed it when overtaking on a motorway, other than needing to overtake at speed or drop a gear, it's not something that I notice when driving around town. It's the manual 1.5 petrol engine. Cheers

Hello The accelerator pedal on my UK Scala SE L seems to stick when it's pushed to the floor. The best way to describe it is the accelerator pedal is smooth until it has reached the floor, but when reached, it can be pressed a little more as though there's an extra push available. Is this normal or does it seem like a fault? It can be tested when the car is parked with the ignition switched off by pressing down the accelerator with your hand. Thanks,

You're right, the ride is really impressive, it's better than an old Golf MK5 that I had which was a really nice ride. It's also the reason I bought it. With just having a baby we wanted something that would be ideal for the family which this definitely is.

Hi sorry, it's been a hectic week trying to sell my old car. They said that the clearance was fine and no transportation blocks were left. They even took a photo of another scala that was in the garage and they both looked the same. I'm now at peace with it. It still looks higher than I'd like, however, I bought the car mainly as a family car and for one that was safe, good on tech but still looks good and it still meets those things. For anyone thinking of a scala, i'd definitely recommend it.

Hi Wieggot Thanks for this. Looking at your measurements mine actually looks quite close so that's reassuring. I do have it booked into Skoda tomorrow for them to jack it up and take a closer look to be sure. You've been a great help and your Scala looks great in that colour!

Was your car bought from new?

It seems strange and unreasonable that they can't provide this. You can always mention that you've known someone (me) who's order was incorrect and you want the list to ensure that this won't happen to you. If you've already asked I'm not sure what more you can do unless you escalate it. Good luck, i do hope it works out.

Thanks, it's a great help and yeah, it definitely looks lower - and therefore better. I just hope they can actually do something about it but that would mean them admitting it isn't quite right.

Thanks for this link. I'll look for the sticker you've mentioned but I've not seen it so far. I'm not even sure if I have an actual log book as they said that everything is now online. I do have a skoda manual but I'd guess it's not in there.

Hi. No, I didn't receive anything like this. The only thing I received from them was a list of the order, however, this was a digital file that was sent approx 4 weeks before I collected the car. Me and my wife found it strange that after placing our deposit, we didn't come away with any kind of confirmation of the order. We just put it down to COVID but thinking about it, it was a little odd. I know how you feel, you want confirmation of everything you're ordering so I would just ask them again or ask maybe ask why can't they provide this to make them provide you with an actual reason. Hope this helps

I wish I had the knowledge to have done this but I now know for next time

Thanks, that's brilliant. This will really help me if they're not understanding what I'm looking for. Did you ask for yours or did they simply provide you with this?

I had a few but other than the LED Lights they were all internal so it shouldn't have been a reason for confusion. They've given me the Scala with the incorrect tailgate, ordered a new one and once in stock they'll simply swap the boot over

Thanks RDB, I'll definitely do this as I had no idea this is something you can request. It's one of those small things that as a customer I want to look right but sometimes it's hard to articulate why it's important to the staff in store.

No as their mechanics don't work on a sunday. This is what they'll do next week when I take it in. Thanks.

UPDATE I visited the Skoda dealer this morning and other cars definitely have less of a gap between the wheel and the arch. They said I can take it along for them to take a look and see what they can do. They also said that there is likely to be a small percentage either side of what the space should be so I guess this means some may be different to others, I'll find out next week.

Thank you, I really appreciate this. I was also wondering if region may play a role or if it were due to it being a custom build. Hopefully I’ll find out this afternoon when I visit Skoda

I measured the distance from the edge of the alloy to the wheel arch and these are my measurements: Front: 16cm Rear: 17cm It's much bigger (rear) than the previous members (Wiegott) so it would be interesting to hear what other members have. Thanks

Thank you so much, this is excellent. I'll measure mine tomorrow morning and see how it compares. I'm also going to the skoda garage to look at others so i'll post my update. Great idea. I can't believe I didn't think of this and it's much less embarrassing

Thanks all. I had no idea what transport blocks were but it seems like it could be a common issue among the VW/Skoda range. I've called Skoda and they're happy for me to pop along and compare to others and if they do look too big then the servicing team can take a look. I don't want to be that nerd with a tape measure at the dealer but i think it could be worth it

It was the factory's. The dealer showed me the order that was sent and the factory simply missed it off. The service I've received has been great so I can't complain. It's just a shame as it was part of the car that I love. In a couple of months it'll hopefully be installed though

Hey, congrats! We took order of ours last week and I'll be configuring it today. I'm jealous of your tailgate design. I ordered this but they missed it from the order. It's ok as they're ordering a new one but I have to wait 16 weeks. The monte carlo looks great, especially in that colour you have. I think this is such a underrated car in terms of design. From some angles it reminds me of the Audi A3. Did you have your car lowered? I'm a little curious about the distance between my wheels and wheel arch, i think it looks too big. I have the 17" but i think the rim + tyre is the same size?
