I guess there needs to be a reason to buy the more expensive Golf R or Cupra Leon. Kinda makes sense.

Thanks for the reply! Ill give it ago and see what I can manage on my own, have a appointment for next week so hopefully it will last!

Thanks for all the information, interesting that there are no talks about 4WD with the more powerful 2.0TSI in the vRS but it will come as standard with the 204HP version in 2025. Nether the less its a great facelift and good general refinement.

Hey All! hope everyone is doing ok. Seem to have an issue with my new (To Me) 2013 Fabia 1.6TDI Monte Carlo relating to the clutch pedal. In the last week the pedal has been not always returning back to the original location sitting flush with the other pedals. This happens once out of 20 times of using the clutch. To fix it you just pull the pedal back and you are all ok again. (if you do not pull it back then eventually it will just sit flush with the floor but once again you can pull the pedal back to the original position and everything works as normal again for about 20 gear changes) To me it seems like what ever normally pushes the pedal back to the original position is getting stuck such as the clutch cables and needs a little help occasionally. The clutch itself feels normal and have had no issues changing gear or any sounds. Before it take this to get professionally looked at, is there anything I can do to look around and maybe something just needs to be cleaned out and greased (wish full thinking). Thanks in advance.

Wow impressive with your disks and pads, mine had to be replaced at 50k, just looking ahead when driving helps prolong them so much.

If you are referring to the first 'that' then swap it for 'if' and if you are referring to the second 'that' swap it for 'why' Apologies

I totally agree with you and definitely the LED and Xenon's do no help at all. Sorry about the diagram I know its not too accurate but I just didn't know how to explain it 😂

I mean you have said it perfectly here. I just found it interesting that some people don't see what's going on and that there nothing realistically that anyone can do about it. On the motorway you see some cars with their headlights pointed so far down they can see about 10 meters in-front of them, like you say I guess they are keeping other road users happy.

I mean I was only trying to start a discussion but I guess reddit is not the place then maybe. Yeah it doesn't happen too often but enough. its no problem for me when it happens to me but find it interesting that some people may not understand what is going on.

Hey all, Hope you are okay? Ive just been on reddit ranting about a certain situation and nobody seems to understand and has gotten very angry at me. so I'm going to do my very best to explain it here just to I know i'm not going mad. Scenario: You are driving in your car at night up an incline with your low-beams on, you are reaching the top of said incline (still driving uphill) and over the top of the horizon you see an oncoming vehicle. As your low-beams are still running parallel of the incline, your lights will illuminate (blind) this oncoming vehicle and vice versa as you are below their low beam cut off height. I'm not annoyed that if happens because its just physics but I i'm just wondering why so little other motorists understand what is going on and then will flash you thinking you have your high-beams on. This all came about when I was on a road yesterday with many inclines and I kept getting flashed by other motorist who most likely thought I had my high beams on. I hope this makes sense and if it doesn't I've made a questionably tacky illustration bellow. As you can see both cars have their low beam on (top of the illumination is parallel to the incline the car is on.) and in this case both cars would be blinding each other.

They are sooooo comfortable, one of the only seats i've never got back pain in.

Hey, Thanks! really appreciate it!

They are taking the car for 3 days and completely sanding down the whole arch and not just a localised area, then using some sort of epoxy, primer and paint, I think its not too bad.

Sadly it was not through Skoda but through a random dealer, I have been quoted £350 for the repair at a local accident repair shop and they seem to do a good job in the way they explained it.
