I have a 2007 roomster tdi 1.4, the rear near side brake seems to be binding when I use the brake. It does not happen every time the brake is used and also releases its-self if I tap the brake again. My local garage says I need to change the caliper and disc, even though at first they said it carnt be a caliper fault due to binding being intermittent. I have been quoted £400 for labour caliper disc and pads is this a reasonable amount to pay.

being out in germany we expect to do quite a bit of mileage, but does a roomster have a diesel particle filter? gareth

hi, i have currently moved to germany and need my 40,000 mile/ 60,000km service. i have been to a skoda/vw garage and they want to use long life oil in the service. prior all our services have been done in cardiff with white dove skoda every 12month/10,000 mile included in the warranty deal. i have read a few bit and bobs and pd engines keep cropping up and this might have an impact on which oil to use? this is important to me as oil out here is extremely expensive and with my parents visiting shortly they will bring with them the correct oil i need. also when does the Haldex clutch oil need changing, the service manual says every 30,000km/20,000 miles but my service manual state is never been done? very grateful for any help provided gareth edwards

thanks for the reply,so do you think they will be fine to fit?

i have recently moved to Germany and need to have right hand drive headlights,which i have seen advertised on ebay(german). the problem is that the hella product number for the UK right sided headlight is 5J2 941 016 A, whilst the German right sided headlight is 5J1 941 016A. does the slightly different code just mean one is uk spec(left hand drive) and the other is continental spec( right hand drive) and if so are they fine to fit into my roomster.
