Hi Yes: I have had a discussion with the supplying dealer who now has to do remedial work as the bump stops are split and to check thoroughly for any other damage. The tyre pressures were OK. Regards

I replaced My Fabia III with a Fabia IV SEL DSG a few months ago, and have been regretting it, because the front suspension has been bottoming at 20mph on speed humps and potholes when it clearly shouldn't. It took ages to get the local Skoda main dealer (who didn't supply the car) to inspect it but they have solved the issue: all Fabias leave the factory with packing blocks above and below the front struts to limit the front suspension motion and to avoid the front undertray grounding. In my case. the supplying dealer had failed to remove them at PDI .... So if you experience anything similar, check for bright pink packing pieces under the gaiter around the front struts!
