well since saturday i can say i have had no issues feels smother and touch wood no miss fire, i dont no what plugs they are using know and dont want to go messing around.

good news lads shes back the car has a new engine i have to sort the v5 out. so in the process of sorting paperwork. regards the plugs skoda have confirmed there is a issues with spark plugs "skodas words unable to cope with the power and performance off car " and if you go in and mention it to the dealer they should replace with upgraded sparks. for me that was to late, they have done top work all round only niggle is she has 5miles less on the clock than when i took her in lol so its time to start loving the car again. getting back in her from a 1.2 3 cylinder that rattles and sounds like a tractor to the vrs was such a nice feeling...

well the news is the engine is stripped today new one on over night to the uk should be at dealer by tomorrow afternoon, and car back by saturday fingers crossed. all under the warranty and they have said the next service is on them.... car didnt look good tonight when i popped by.

yes it was considering i was 60 ish and then its been driven by skoda today on a road test, :(

well guys the news isn't good the dealers have been on the phone 3 or 4 times. the car has got a major engine failure i have a miss fire across the engine and the spark plugs in number 2 and 4 have been destroyed to the point off ware, the bottom off the sparks have blown in to the engine. which is to the point the engine is dead as the dodo, they tried telling they were going to just replace the sparks. i have told them not a chance and i will reject the car on that basis.. i am off to have a strong drink :(

well if they say its shout i want to know where i stand regards the fiancee

cheers guys its out off my hands know. will just have to wait and see, if its a new engine i will be on the phone to vw finace as well......

Guys bit off a worry, last night was on a final leg off a journey home, was using d mode but got stuck behind some one doing 30 in a 70 so could see it was clear, so dropped the car in to sport then over took but the the dsg went very weird. the numbers started flashing on the mfd it wouldnt go in to gears 2 4 and 6 but would use 1 5 and 7, so once off the main road pulled off and turned on and off and all is well. what could have caused that???
