That's good to know, but does look a bit crappy though 😀

They were jazzes 2012 and 2 civics 2014. the Jazz I had for the month was 2012, here's the car back up for sale https://www.motorwell.co.uk/cars/honda/jazz/i-vtec/600206/ Lee

I forgot to mention in the last post, The exhaust backbox and pipe is looking a bit worst for ware, it's not blowing or noisy, asked a friend who works in a tire and exhaust center, he said they are double skinned and last for ever also you will have a hard job getting a new one , but looking at the one on my car the outer skin has gone rusty and a bit ribby ,so I want to fit a new one has anyone got a idea where best to get one

Ok, right , the'34F7' sticker is in the boot, its dated 2014, and I also have all those service items done on the date/mileage they need to be done by Skoda , last full service at 48thousand miles was done last year with a new timing chain and tensioner, not done by Skoda , private garage, but it's been done , So no more worries and buyers remorse for me then, and it's seems I have a really nice car .

Hello, thanks for the reply I cant check sticker in the boot at the moment, it's hammering down with rain at the moment here in Bristol, in the service booklet, inside cover states, that 1 This is a duplicate service history book, and as such the information entered may not be truly representative of the actual vehicle service history 2 individual servicing tasks have (Not) been included, as your Skoda dealer will be servicing your vehicle with the latest factory requirements. (Not) has been underlined in the service booklet.

Hello all I am new to the forum, I own a Skoda Fabia TSi estate 2010 with the DSG gearbox, I have owned the car for about a month so far, its got full service history 49.000 miles on the clock, it drives lovely! I did pay over the going price for it, on account for the such nice condition the car is in, and ha ha, its bright red paintwork , before I bought this Skoda , I test drove two Honda jazzes and two Honda civics , they all had around 20000 miles on their clocks, so they weren't what I would call worn out clunkers , because of the low mileage I cover in a year, and a cousin in the second hand van sales business, I have owned a lot of worn out clunkers that I never give more that 1200 hundred quid for, The Hondas I drove were priced at around the £6 £7000 mark , all had horrid steering, notchy and heavy, I was told by various people that this is the nature of these cars , Before I got the Skoda , I had one of the Jazzes for around a month, I got fed up with looking for a car , so I bought one of the Honda jazzes that I test drove, from a car dealership, Nice car real good condition , but I couldn't get used to the feel of that dodgy steering problem these cars seem to have , So I returned back to the car sales I bought it from, to have a look around, and just came in the day before was this Bright red Skoda Fabia TSi Estate, which the salesman made a point that the car has has a new timing chain fitted with the last full service, a year ago. But now having been reading various articles and post on these forums, I am starting to think that my Skoda Fabia is a ticking time bomb so to speak, these cars are plagued with potential gearbox repairs costing over a thousands of pounds to put right , The other problem was the timing chain crashing your engine , got to mess around with the DSG gearbox oil , people on this forum seem to be obsessed with manufacturer recalls , trashing post about how bad the Skoda company looks after their customers. So, like I stated in the heading of this post , is my buyers remorse justified , will I put my key in the ignition and Bang! that's the end of that, 49000 miles on the clock, which I think is quite low mileage nowadays , should be good for over double that, but some forum members seem to think makes no difference, these cars don't just gracefully wear out , they just stop working at any time, and you have to bribe them with high cost garage bills and repairs with high value parts and faults Thanks lee
