  1. I have just noticed today some lacquer/top coat peeling around the driver-side rear door handle, both on the top of the handle and particularly bad underneath where it is brittle to touch. Has anyone seen this before? I've searched the forum but couldn't find much; could this be a sign of a poor paint repair? It's a 21 plate Skoda Scala (close to 5 years since first registration). I'm the second owner and bought as Skoda Approved Used. Presumably something like this wouldn't be covered by the paint corrosion warranty. What options do I have to stop it getting worse?! Thanks in advance.
  2. Hi everyone, Recently purchased a Scala 1.0 TSI SE L DSG (2021) with circa 26,000 miles. Full service history and bought from a Skoda Used Approved dealer. Noticed from the outset that the steering wheel is skewed to the right when driving the car in a straight line. I didn't think it would bother me too much at first (wrong..) so took the car to a local 'reputable' wheel/tyre garage who checked the alignment on their Hunter Hawkeye machine. They made some adjustments (see attachment) but the issue with the steering wheel was not any better (if anything, it felt slightly worse). I returned to the garage this week who put the car back on the machine but it showed all the alignment measurements were within tolerance, and the steering wheel was centred inside using their jig. Tyre pressures all okay. They shrugged their shoulders and said there wasn't much more they could do. Welcome views on next steps , what the underlying issue could be and whether to: Seek a second opinion from a different garage. See if Skoda will look at it under warranty (one year's coverage as part of the approved used package). Thanks in advance.
