It was given the 'fix' before I bought car...full service history from main dealer and a lot of money spent on it by previous owner..it's a bit tatty but I really like the car but the regeneration is doing my head in..I was thinking if it went back to it's original setting it might regen less? It seems to make no difference how far or not I drive..came back from 200 mile motorway trip and car regenerated next day..sometimes twice a day! At least twice a week it regenerates, I try not to switch off car whilst regen is going...so I let it idle till it's finished..I could be wrong but I think it uses about a third of a gallon on a regen! So every week I'm using an extra gallon of fuel! And the economy is ok about 50 mpg average..but I read they were more frugal in their original setting? I love the car to be honest and I'll wear the extra diesel if I have to as I don't some mapper messing my car up! I have got used to the tall gearing and find it quite quick once you get into it's power band..the car carries my two Ebikes on its tow bar cycle carrier and its very spacious inside..I do hifi a bit and have hi res music on my phone and from phone into jack by handbrake into aux on radio the sound is very good indeed..I see a few Roomsters here in Hastings but havent seen another greenline Roomster..I bought some dpf cleaner but it didn't make any difference and I only use the premium Texaco diesel in my car.

Hi, I have a 1.2 TDI Roomster and it's had the VW fix remap..I was wondering if I can get it back to how it was before the VW remap?

Just found out that my Roomster 1.2 TDI had the Nox thingy done in 2017 I have no idea how it drove before? Heard they were sluggish? But my Roomster is quite quick..I was surprised.

Mine going great..78k on the clock, looks like it's just run in then? Took it out early this morning and was surprised how willing the engine was! Not the least bit sluggish! Bought a tow bar bike carrier and off cycling today...quite like this car it's sort of fun to drive..my previous car wasn't a lot of fun in any department. -
Really helpful, thanks very much..

I'm thinking of getting timing belt done and an oil change..unless it's already been done? I haven't looked at the documents yet..should i take the car to my local Skoda garage or will my local garage be ok?

Only recall I noticed was something to do with a possible fuel leak I think..

Hi, I have just bought this car (2014) I know it has a DPF fitted..my work is about four miles away through town then country road..every week I drive about 35 miles to go cycling..my average speed for the car is about 50mph on my 35 mile journey..will this be enough to keep DPF happy? I use Texaco premium diesel ( the car has done 70k ) Thanks, joe
