Hmmmm… well, OK, albeit they’re not OE. I’d like to see them fitted and working.

Can I ask; who changed the all the ABS sensors? The reason is that I find it strange that the symptoms you’re experiencing are identical to many others who’ve commented - including ours too and in these cases it was found to be a failed (yep, the NSR) ABS sensor. The fault is intermittent; in our case it first occurred departing a ferry in NI. It repeated itself 1/2 dozen times on the 100 mile drive to our destination but then didn’t do it again for a couple of days. It went on like that for the rest of the stay, but on the trip home on the M6/40/25, it did it countless times.

Also, IMO the available Chinese aftermarket “dynamic” door mirror units are terrible and AFAIK, there are no OE offerings.

I got the cheap ones from eBay or Ali - can’t remember which - about four years ago and they fit perfectly.

Sawtoothing on rear tyres?

Ta. I’ll check mine in that case. Good excuse anyway as I’ve just finished whizzing up my VCDS laptop, a Dell E6410 with a 1tb SSD, upgraded to 8gb RAM and a fresh install of genuine Win 10 Pro. Total cost was £68. Absolutely flies now. Used to take 4 mins to boot, now it’s 35 seconds. VCDS takes about 10 secs to load.

Incidentally, does one get a dash warning to say the sensor has failed? If no, how does one know it’s failed?

You could get a one from Autodoc which is more than 1/2 the SUK price.

Just washed it. What helps is the Raceglaze water filter which means zero water marks, although I do towel most of it off. It really needs a whole day spent on it but I just don’t have the time at the moment.

Yeah, that's where it always blocks. I've tried using a cut-down cable tie and a pipe cleaner in the past but neither of those worked in my case. I really don't get why they couldn't use a 90 degree curved piece.

I’ve had and, like many others, continue to have this issue occasionally. I really couldn’t contemplate dismantling (and possibly damaging) the hatch trim to get at the pipework so on the advice of my service specialist, I now use a piece of thin welding rod and that always unblocks it. It’s a useless design IMO and one used on many VAG products.

Did the same trip yesterday. Nothing. Engine sound perfectly normal. Oil temp upto 110c. Weird….

Yep, could be Travs.

On Saturday, I had to travel from Surbiton to Ealing Broadway, a round trip of around 18 miles with a stationary hour of so before returning. It was stop/start and slow moving traffic all the way in both directions. On the return journey, I noticed that the engine it developed a constant chattering sound, not unlike the tappet sound of the old A series when they're out of clearance. On revving the engine in N, the sound remained, although perhaps not quite as loud as when its under load. The oil temp was between 103-105c and the water temp was dead centre as usual. The following morning the sound had gone, albeit the trip I did, didn't even get the oil temp beyond 70c. So it'll have to go in for a check up, but in the meantime, any suggestions?

It’d need to be scanned to confirm of course.

…..and it could well be the ABS sensor as @Berisford said…

Mine too. 10 next March and zero issues like the OP’s.. and yep I have a wedding ring. However, the steering wheel is already shiny after 55k, which I think isn’t great and unfortunately, there’s no way to return it to a decent matt finish.

Certainly looks like the sensor has failed. It was the NSR which failed on ours a few years ago, lighting up the dash and bleeping like billyo.

I just want to know WTF he’s on about?

Thanks for uploading these. 👍🏻

Having said that, I never had the car stall when touching the accelerator.

Can be normal behavior, which is why I've turned the bloody thing off. Its not just Skoda; all VW brands do it.

No idea. The oil companies are always “enhancing” their products.

I had exactly the same sound as you describe. It was a lack of refrigerant in the system. Once (the leak in my case was repaired) it was regassed, the noise disappeared.

Get the AC recharged.
