Update: Fixed The dealer couldn't replicate the leak and kept sending me away. I ended up taking the spoiler off and investigating. There is sealant around the screw area between the spoiler and boot body. It would appear the factory have used a tiny amount and water was getting in via the screw holes. Fix: - Area cleaned off with gyeon tar remover to remove adhesive. - new spoiler screws - corrosion blocker (just in case) - new adhesive. - spoiler refitted Seems to have fixed the issue.

Hi All, About 2 weeks ago I opened my boot and water started to leak out of the fabric lining on the right hand side of the tail gate. I took it to the dealers and they water tested it and couldn't replicate the leak and sent me away. I've today opened the boot and it's leaked again but this time from the left side. I've managed to get a picture/video and will be taking it back to the dealers to investigate further...however I was wondering if you could help? I've tried a forum search but can't find any similar topics...any ideas what my be causing it? I've checked the following: 1) The three drainage holes across the tailgate seem dry as well as the metal parts of the tailgate. 2) I have not used the rear washer prior to the leaks and the jet is working fine with good pressure. The water leaking doesn't smell of washer fluid either. Any help would be great.

I'm using Bilberry wheel cleaner at the mo...works well and is acid free. I also use Iron X for a deep clean every now and then. Both work very well... In relation to the boot button inside the car... I don't think there is one in the car just on the key or the boot itself.

Beading on the 245...

Picked her up from the detailers today ... Ceramic coated with gtechniq crystal serum and exo V3. Very pleased with the end result.

I finally picked up the 245 today after originally ordering at the end of September. Drove it straight from the dealers to the detailers for a full new car protection and ceramic treatment. Should be ready late Wednesday/Thursday morning. All wrapping left on so it gets to the detailer in the best possible condition.

Finally I have a confirmed build week - Week 7 (12/02/18). Originally started as UC week 4 then moved to Week 10. Still looking like a March delivery

Moon White is an option; ordered mine a few weeks ago with anticipated delivery of March 2018. Moon White 245 DSG Hatch Heated screen and washers DCC Canton speakers Columbus Sat Nav Space saver Kessy Rear camera and wireless phone charging.

That will teach me to skim read (face palm)...so you're thinking it's from the old motor and the washer isn't required?

Thanks for the reply...This washer is a really hard plastic and looks new. The fittings on the motor itself seem to be rubber so not sure if it's the same? Unless the plastic washer is from the older model of the motor?

So... I finally got wiper gremlins and found that the rear motor was leaking into the boot. To cut a long story short I had a new wiper motor fitted at an independent garage. (I wish I had done it myself as it turns out it's fairly easy) Anyway when I got it home the rear wiper wasn't clearing the window. I contacted the garage and they weren't much help so I had a tinker...I found that the spindle wasn't sitting straight and when I removed the new motor I found this black washer??? I removed it and now the wiper seems to work fine. As I didn't remove the old motor and as the washer looks important I thought I'd check to see if it is meant to be somewhere?? Can anyone assist?? It's a MK1 Octavia VRS hatch. Thanks

thanks for that. looks like I'll be going superpro then. :yes:

Anyone know the part number for the OE Front Dog Bone Mount Bush (The round one)??? Thanks

Just bought a 55 plate MK1; Octavia vRS from ADAMSONS DEAL and what can I say? An excellent site (though a little small) and sales team. After having a really bad experience with ***************** I was a little hesitant about dealing with more salesmen but I travelled to DEAL and was pleasantly surprised. I was first greeted by DAVID PRINCE who I dealt with throughout, he was very professional and was extremely customer focused. All I can add is if you are thinking about buying a skoda I strongly recommend you make the trip to ADAMSONS as the service you get is fantastic.

I would just like to voice the same words that have been said about GEOFF GARNER. A very informative and professional person. Even though I was only after advice about a purchase I had made from ****** SKODA ******* he was very helpful and assisted me to such a degree that I will definitely use ALLAMS in the future.
