Sadly it is time to change my car and as Skoda scrapped the Roomster I am changing brands to a vw POLO WITH 1.2 TSI ENGINE. I will realy miss the Roomy as it was my second car and bluntly one of the most practical I have ever had. So goodbye Skoda

thanks for all replies its been a problem since new sadly. will try the suggestions

Hi all. I am having rather annoying problems with condensation on my 4 year old Roomster Scout in the mornings the sreen is covered with a lot of condensation and I use a Karcher window cleaner to soak it up as a cloth is not enough. And in freezing weather it turns to ice. Can anyone come up with a solution please

sadly heard from Skoda UK that there are no plans for a Roomster Mark2, so it is the end of a very practical car, which means I shall have to look at another make

I have been told today by a Skoda dealer that production of the Roomster ceased last week, so that's the end as apparently a replacement is not in the piepline

yes my tyre size are 205/45 R16 83W

Hi. Can anyone advise on new tyres for a 61 reg Roomster Scout 1.2tsi 105bhp. can the low profile tyres be swapped for normal tyres without affecting ride or insurance requirements, i.e. altered spec

Looking recently at the Skoda UK website. it appears that the Roomster is now only available in two models i.e. Roomster S or Scout with almost no extras available. This suggests to me that the model is not going to be produced much longer.

What a nightmare your roomie has been, I am on my second one now and my first car was the 1.9TDI engine which performed perfectly except that evry now and then the engine speeded up without touching the accelerater pedal, whic initially was scary but soon got used to it, main deal could not find anything wrong. Now on second car a 1.2TSI105BHP Scout. done 3500 miles when descending a steep hill I suddenly had two warning lights come on the traction control and tyre pressure lights, then I found I had no brakes unless I stood on the pedal, again scary, Skoda Assist found that the servo pipe had come disconnected from manifold, seem to run OK now but going in for a check on Monday.

Having just come back home to mid sussex from dartmoor in my 6 month old 1.2 TSI 105BNP Roomster Scout when the car performed perfectly, we broke down today 2 miles from home. details as follows. I experienced a slight loss of power going up a hill then the traction control light came on together with a tyre warning light at the as I went over the summit I decided to slow down until I could find somewhere safe to pull over and found I had lost power on my brakes. fortunately I managed to stop on a verge, and called Skoda assist. they came out in about 30 minutes and found that the servo pipe had come off the engine, which apparently causes all sorts of problems, he fixed it in about 5 mins then took it for a test and now all seems to be OK. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem, the technician said he has had similar evnts on an Audi 1.4 and a Golf 1.4 TSI engine.

Hi everyone,I wonder whether at 74 I am the oldest roomster owner, Like many other older drivers I have had a range of cars from a 1938 Morris 8 (my first car) to Honda CRV as well as large company cars. BUt now we are on our 2nd |Roomster this one is a Scout 1.2TSI 105BHP, the previous one was a 1.9 TDI sadly an engine no longer available. My wife persuaded me to buy our first roomie a 56 reg and again to change it for the current one a 61 reg. Of all the cars we have had this without doubt is the most practical car ever, and we would and have recommended Roomsters to several people and know for a fact that 2 bought them. We love them Andy

Hi All, Well I did the change and bought a new Scout with thge 1.2 105bhp tsi engine and I am well impressed it has a terrific amount of power and the torque is pretty good too. I would recommend this engine to anyone

Hi, I have just collected my brand new Roomster Scout with the 1.2TSI 105BHP manual engine very impressed with this engine, my old Roomie was a 1.9TDI which is agreat motor but the new diesels with DPF are not for me. I just hope that Skoda have sorted out the window control probelms, we shall see.

Hi, Well having test driven the 1.2tsi 105ps and liked it I have ordered a new Scout with that engine so it's goodby deisel and back to petrol.

Hi again, Front windows now fixed for the third time in 2 years on my 56 reg roomster. New control unit and motor fitted by local garage cost £222 a lot less than main agent would charge this is the second motor in just on 2 years.is it time to change car brand? I wonder

My 56 plate roomster front windows have just failed again the second time in 2 weeks goes in tomorrow for fixing hopefully this time a non skoda garage can sort it out the franchise dealers are just so expensive

I am thinking of changing mu Roomster (56reg) which is a 1.9TDI with no DPF filters which seem to cause aggro to some people. and I wonder if anyone has the 1.2 petrol 105ps engine and what it performs like.

Sadly my electric fron window motor has failed for the second time in two years is there a major fault with the system or am I just unlucky. my Roomster is a 56 reg with satnav and many extra electrical bits and bobs. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Mine packed up last year and 2 months after warranty expired, it was the control unit that failed and my Skoda service dealer managed to get a deal with Skoda Uk who paid for 70% of cost. Andy d

Occaisionaly on my Roomster usually when cold or just after starting up when I take my foot of the throttle to change gear or brake the engine revs keep going at full belt, and the car just accelerates. It does not happen often and can be controlled by pressing clutch pedal and changing gear. Has anyone else had a similar problem.

Hi Folks, further to my query re window motor failure. Mine has now been fixed, apparently the window control box failed and the passenger window operates as a slave to the drivers door, once found by my Skoda dealer it was repaired quickly, and although my car is a couple of months out of warranty they are going for a sympathetic claim, hopefully Skoda will agree.

Hi, I have enjoyed my roomster 2 for just over two years now. I was lucky in that it came with built in satnav plus many extras however just this week the front electric windows just stopped working my skoda dealer did a 1 houir check byt could not find the fault so now it has to be booked in for a full check. Has anyone else had this prob;em

My 56 reg roomster 2 has a built in sat nav system combined with the radio system. the CD that operates the navigation is issued by Tele Atlas in Holland. They claim this system is not in roomster models. So haw do I get an updated disc:confused:
