My original tyres were Bridgestone, and I blamed them, but the replacement Goodyear’s started spinning soon after fitting. So annoying that something as simple as lack of loading a software update can cause so much hassle. Sure it damaged the wheel rims as well, with the car appearing to jump up and down as traction control tried to control it (low profile tyres).

Ever since I bought my car, the fronts spin up on attempted quick exits from t junctions or entering roundabouts. This resulted in a new set of tyres at 10k miles!!! Two services at supplying dealer indicated no problem other than my right foot, and an offer to sell me some tyres. Yesterday, third service at different main dealer, and technician drove car and agreed a problem, found out of date software for traction control and updated. Like driving a different car, now. Also fixed the clunky first gear uptake, as well! Nice to find a dealer that cares (Rainworth Skoda of Mansfield, Notts).

Hi folks. Had my Octavia for 3 years, so thought I ought to join!
