Yeah, leads are a common problem. Had them go bad both on my Roomsters CBZA and mums Ibiza CBZB. Since then I always keep a set at home (really should be in the car, heh.)

I have a 2011 CBZA 1.2 tsi Roomster, and the chain is rattly sometimes when I start the car up, but it goes away after a few seconds. It has had the chain tensioners replaced by a previous owner, so I assumed it has the revised one. Apart from that, I think it's a lovely engine and feels more powerful than it is on paper. I assumed all 1.2tsi Roomsters have the cam chain?

Are you sure they have ever worked? I'm under the impression that some cars does not have working rear fog lamps, I think I read it in a post here somehwere. I have the same issue on my Roomster, everything should be working but doesn't.

It seems quite common that the lead for cylinder #3 goes bad because it's very close to the exhaust manifold on these particular engines. My mum has also needed to get her leads replaced on her CBZB-engined Ibiza.

I'm aware that the leads has been discussed before but I'm still asking this question. In 2019 I bought a second (well fourth) hand Roomster 2011 1.2tsi to have as a winter car. When I got it, I replaced the ignition leads at the same time as I replaced the spark plugs since I was aware that this engine wears out ignition leads. I bought NGK plugs and NGK leads, and since i got it the car has been driven 20000km. This week the NGK leads gave up (misfire on 1st cylinder according to OBD reader, yellow check engine light, EPC light and traction control light,) Luckily I still had the old leads and swithced back, and the issue went away. I'm not sure if the old leads were OEM, but they had more markings than the NGK leads. According to Skoda-parts.com, the OEM/Genuine part costs three times the cost of the NGK, but I'm not sure what differs between them. Anyone knows the difference between thirdparty and OEM?

Found a video, although in Swedish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwJsiIkDSuc&ab_channel=NiklasL (I'm aware this might be a dead thread, but someone else than OP might find it useful)

I'm struggling with a similar brand tow hook on my Roomster, also made by Prof Svar. (The safety latch won't pop out when the hook is locked so it wont pass Swedish inspection, trying to find a way to service the latch but I might need to buy a complete new hook assembly) Anywyas, here's a list of Prof Svars towing hooks: https://branomarket.brano.eu/files/web-data/tazna-zarizeni.pdf This is probably the one you have: https://branomarket.brano.eu/e-shop/tazne-zarizeni-skoda-superb-ii-a-3t4-09-2008-04-2015-203255/ I found some materials that might be helpful, the handle seem identical to yours https://manualsrepo.com/manuals/995237/prof-svar-tmb-ps-026-users-manual-and-installation-instructions

I've come to realize that the 2011 Roomster I picked up three years ago had some shoddy rust fixes on the tail gate, and I think the easiest would be to just replace the tailgate with a second hand and respray it (I have an uncommon colour (9157/F8L)) instead of trying to fix the rust. There's rust along the lower outer edge, and also rust on the shelf piece above the number plate. Does anyone have any experience in this regard, and knows how comlicated it is?

Oil consumption seems a bit random? My mums Ibiza with a CBZB (1.2tsi 105hp) engine uses a lot more oil than my 85hp Roomster, that's done 130.000km while the ibiza is 70.000km? My car had a broken PVC valve when I got it, and the only difference after fitting a new one was less oil smell from the engine bay.

I've got some second hand Thule cross bars from a Golv IV Variant (Or even from a III, I'm not certain). I think the shape of the roof rails are pretty universal at least within VAG so as long as they're long enough, second hand ones should be fine?

Have you noticed any difference in fuel consumption?

I've got a 63kw 1.2tsi and there's quite a big difference in fuel consumption between going highways or country roads. 70km/h can be 5.5-5.7 and 110 km/h can be 6.4. The Roomster doesn't have super terrible aerodynamics but it's still a big volume to push through the air and if it's windy it adds up. Since it's my winter car, I run it on unstudded Scandinavian winter tires, I guess low friction eco summer tires would help with the consumption as well.

Mine was broken when I bought mine six months ago, and I think it had been off for quite a while based on oil residue. fitting a new one only saw the petrol fumes at idle go away, no change on mileage really.

I brought an old one with me and the clerk at the car parts store picked out four generic new ones that looked similar sized, paid ~€4 and it solved my problem. I found this on a german site, if you want dimensions to order online: https://www.skodacommunity.de/threads/dichtungen-fahrlicht-hinten.124816/page-2
