  1. You are correct. I still have the Roomster. Long story short. Car broke down, diesel on top of engine Garage 1 replaced one injector, with a brand new one. No problem with that one Broke down again Garage 2 replaced the other 3 injectors, with (new according to the price and invoice). Car broke down same weekend. Stretch bolts snapped off. Car recovered to home 20 miles away Garage 2 recovered the car 38 miles to garage 2 to be fixed Car fixed free of charge. Car breaks down Garage 1 fits new fuel rail does a good job Garage 1 said Garage 2's injectors were not new, yellow dots on the tops Car breaks down into current limp and 0204 Garage 2 has p1ssed me off so much that I took it to garage 3 Garage 3 is 4 miles away and did a full detailed report. Garage 3 said that injector was reconditioned and not brand new. Garage 2 can't remember which plugs they replaced Credit card was used to pay for garage 2's 3 injectors. Credit card was asked to sort this refund out via section 75 Section 75 got dragged out beyond statuary 56 days. Section 75 now escalated to ombudsman. Ombudsman now dragging heels Ombudsman case handler, conveniently on a long holiday This is getting ridiculous The car has spent more time on the blocks than on the road and I've only had it a year this September. I need to sell this car Does anyone want to buy this car? I am selling it at a severe loss
  2. 2010 1.6 TDI glow plug warning light new pigtail fitted and spliced (From AutoDOC/Poland) 0204 P code will never go away warning light glow plug coil on dash Ohm tested in all of the right places No local motor factors/ auto sparkies sell this part. Mobile mechanics refused to help OBDII can never remove or erase this fault. Plug 4 is to blame Engine rocks on idle Engine in limp mode 20 mph and low revs only Can anyone solve this nightmare for me, it has been a solid month of hell. Has this car officially died or is it in a knackered state from now on?
  3. https://www.halfords.com/tools/garage-equipment/garage-essentials/halfords-2-litre-oil-measure-with-spout-739166.html I've got the same problem and this 2 litre jug is graduated and makes oil fills a lot easier. The nozzle is flexible and the filling hole has a lid. You don't get a nozzle lid, but that's not a huge problem.
  4. I've a similar problem as everyone else seems to have blue white LEDS that dazzle when facing me in the opposite direction.
  5. Have you checked your filler cap? I've filled up before in my old car and if the petrol cap wasn't twisted beyond the clicks, I'd get the light coming on and even a go slow mode. Refill and re tighten worked for me.
  6. This is my first ever Skoda. After having my 16 y/o Mitsubishi Colt (financially)written off in the world's slowest and daftest RTA, I decided to go for a camper, but Van Life is too dear, so are small MPVs. Luckily I found a Roomster, with pan roof and rails, these were a must! My insurance payout was 1 day before the hire car went back. Stressful doesn't come close. I've finally got one. This involved a lot of head banging with DVLA. but that's another story. Hopefully, nobody will repeat history.
