  1. Thanks for the reply The car has done 55,000 miles
  2. Afternoon I have a 2013 Fabia VRS, with a DSG gearbox. I heard a bang which seemed to have come from the gearbox area, but the car drove ok. Yesterday it decided it didn't want select any gear and then the "gearbox overheating" light came on with the very strong smell of burning clutch. I've never had this happen before and wanted to know if this is the sign that one or both of the clutches had failed? How much to would be to get repaired? Does it have to be done a the dealer? Thank you for your time
  3. Good morning Can I ask what bike racks / carrier you use or recommend for the Mk2 Fabia, we have the Monte Carlo and worried about the top spoiler We need to carry 2 bikes, and don't want a tow bar Thanks in advance for your help
  4. Thanks guys I'm looking at the maintenance / service plan for the car. I'm getting on PCP, and the millage will be high every year, so want to protect myself as the plan covers everything from exhaust to brake discs / pads and clutch / gearbox, this is whats at the back of my mind, it would probably save me in the long run with the millage I'm doing I've not been told what this plan will be, but will let you know
  5. Looks good for the price. I have no intention of taking y car on the track and see what you mean about it being the next best thing, would be good to see what the car is capable of tho B)
  6. Hi all I'll be taking delivery of my brand new Octavia VRS in a couple of weeks and wanted to get your thoughts on the ŠKODA servicing & car maintenance Plan The dealer has mentioned it to me but not got the price yet, does anyone know the average price the dealers sell this plan for, and is it worth it? (I'll be doing between 20,000 & 25,000 miles a year) Thanks for your time

  8. Good after everyone. I'm selling my 2008 Pre Facelift Octavia VRS, aand are wanting to find out what the original Specification was and what was put on as an optional exrtra. Has anyone know were I can get a copy on the original brochure (PDF) so I can go through it please. I've contacted Skoda and say it will take a few days for hem to send the info onto me. Incase anybody is wondering why I'm selling it, I'm taking delivery of a brand new one in a few weeks, but will be so sad to see this one go. Thanks for reading
  9. I bought my Octavia VRS MKII last August from a Skoda Dealer in the North West, and had a terrible experience with them, however I am not willing to name at this stage as Skoda themselves are involved. I took my car to Crawley Downs for a major service, they were brilliant. I explained the issues we had had, and they checked all the Skoda systems to see if everything had been done on any recalls etc. The service department was great, very polite and got my car in when I wanted and a courtesy car. I got a call earlier than expected to say the car was ready. I have the car booked in next week to have it looked at, it looks like the Clutch Master Cylinder is leaking, and Skoda Warranty have said they will cover it. I will report back next week when I have the car back.

  11. Myself and my better half will be there, will be nice to meet some of you
  12. Hi everyone I joined this forum a few years ago when I was looking for an Octavia Vrs, and since then, been saving up and sorting a few things out.

  13. That's brilliant, thank you Will let you know how I get on
  14. Hi all, I'm new to the board. First of all, the site looks great. I friend of mine has a 2001 Fabia Elagence. The car has developed a little problem. The courtsey light on the bottom of the drivers door has stopped working. When the drivers door is open the interior light does not come on either, and the lights on left on alarm has stopped working. I've taken the door card off to see if there is any loose wires, but there isn't. I'm not sure if it's the door mecanism or not. Can anyone help please Thanks for your time John
