Bampy

Can't seem to find anything on here concerning the software changes concerning the emissions scandal has anyone had it done by the dealer and did it affect the performance fuel consumption etc of the car and would you recommend getting it done.

Why when I indicate sometimes the indicators are completely silent and other times they tick like a clock

I was at the stealers recently having a heating problem fixed and asked about the upgrade to the satnav. Nearly choked when they wanted £200 to do it. I have seen upgrade discs on Ebay are they any good.

Just had my 10 plate back from the dealer similar problem it was found to be the cabin sensors and a flap motor. Dash out to repair.

Not yet I assumed that as I bought the car from new that it would be correct. Main dealer next stop.

I have owned the car for just over a year from new and it is fantastic. The only problem I have is that other drivers seem to think I am driving with main beam when I am only using dipped beam. They go on full beam and it is really ****ing me off any suggestions. I am considering changing my main beam to 100w bulbs, I don't see any other options as the level of the lights is controlled by the ECU. If I do change then hopefully I will burn their eyeballs out but is there an issue with the lights on this car.

I went to the dealers seven times before I got over the badge I am in my forties and remember when Skoda deserved the tag. However it is now a different story to my mind. Skoda is one of the best brands out there. Unfortunately I think VAG will cut them loose as they are performing better than VAG premium brands like Volkswagen and if you drive an Audi as a company car you must start looking at what you are getting for the extra tax you are paying and in a word it is the badge. When I bought my car the direct equivalent Audi was £17000 more are these people mad or so in love with the badge that they are prepared to pay the extra for that. If so the world has gone mad.

Correct

Could have been a potential suicide bid.

Lighthouse Inn on the coast road between Cardiff and Newport.

I drive a silver Octavia VRS diesel estate with all the whistles and bells and I do look after it. Anyway I had just finished my daily walk with the dogs and was in my local for a quick one and a guy approahes me at the bar and asks me what car I drive I tell him it's the silver Skoda estate and he replies "What the one by the front door, I thought that was a Merc." Enough said!

Had exactly the same thing happen with my Octavia a few weeks back. Nothing to do with sitting on the fob. There was a similar issue with my Audi S3 but I have never got to the bottom of the problem. Contacted the dealer who as usual was clueless. Talked to Skoda and they thought there may be a problem with a regulator or the wiring loom. They have asked me to wait for it to happen again and then take it to the dealer. Watch this space.

Has anyone bought the following and if so was it easy to fit and is it any use as I have two dogs and I am trying to stop the bumper from being scratched. If it does the job then it is a bargin at £7.00

Had a bash at that and it has done the trick big thank you. Thinking about it logically is was probably bits of the owl poor sod.
