Here I go again about the damn timing belt..! Here in Ireland, Skoda insist that it's due (with w/pump, rollers etc) at 180,000KM or 110,000miles with NO time limit ... Just about to sit back with some popcorn to watch this episode of "Belt wars" Hope this helps (honestly, I do) ... Cheers, Rob

Sounds like a VERY expensive headache tmg, if you want a DSG just change the car. Cheers, Rob

Very nice Dave, best of luck with them ... Cheers, Rob

I would think (and I could be wrong) that all such software updates etc would be under the umbrella of the VAG group and they'd determine who gets what (Skoda Seat Audi VW) ... I did speak to Skoda Ireland and they informed me that the free update offer related to ECU software etc and NOT maps ... Apologies for only posting this now but Ive been very busy at work .. Cheers, Rob

Brilliant ..!

That's a pity but it was worth a try. Cheers, Rob

I forgot to add, I'm running on winter / snow tyres still and they'll be knocking off a couple of MPG ... HTH, Rob

My Combi 170 CR TDI manual is returning 47 / 48, mostly motorway 70 / 85 mph ... Cheers, Rob

Fair enough, hope you get this sorted. Please post your results when you can ... Best of luck, Rob

Hi Malawi, A lot of post's here about those sort of problems seem to point to faulty main battery's (low voltage etc). Might be worth checking that ... Best of luck, Rob

Thats great Steve, thanks for that. Rob

Thanks lads, The mirrors do fold when holding the lock button on the fob and unfold when the car is started ... I'm happy enough with that. Cheers, Rob

Just tried that Coops, it worked.! They didn't unfold when I unlocked it, what do you do? Thanks, Rob

Best of luck Raptor, let us know how it goes when you get around to it ... Cheers, Rob

Thanks Coops, I'll try that (I presume you mean the key fob?) Thanks Steve, does your's do it automatically when you lock / unlock it?

Thanks Gizmo ....

Hi all, Is it an option (I'm guessing via VCDS) to have auto fold mirrors on unlocking/locking the car? Cheers, Rob

I received that mirror from Raleri and had to send it back due to spots on it. They were all apologies and are sending another one (which they've checked and is fine). A minor hiccup but all should be well when its fitted. Cheers, Rob

Hi raptor, No idea if Skoda UK are offering this, but why not fill in the form with your chassis no. and see what happens? Best of luck, Rob

Superb 170, I got the fogs at www.maxtuning.ie. The 80W CREE's were €23 each, €50 for both incl. the resistor harness. Looks great, and far better light. Really finishes off the look of the car, but for me it's about the visibility at night which is much better. They're available on the net in loads of places but I wanted to fit them on the spot to make sure there were no errors... Job done. Good luck, Rob

I fitted 80W CREE LED bulbs to replace the fog lights, they give a far better and much whiter light matching the factory xenons very well. I did need resistors in line to get rid of the bulb failure warning on the dash. A very worth while upgrade for €50 (including the resistors, fitting is a doddle) I've already replaced the DRL's with LED's and they make a big difference too. Error free bulbs available from Super Skoda CZ (€21.50 delivered to ROI). I've got parking light bulbs on the way then that'll be all halogen free up front ... Cheers, Rob

Hoverurb, Just celebrating that win today (any excuse really) ... In fairness, the pundits were saying the best two teams in the championship were Ireland and England. Cheers, Rob

Great to see "something" free gratis from a dealership :clap: Winning the six nations was a nice bonus too.. :cocktail: Cheers, Rob

Here's the link to Skoda Ireland's offer of a free software update ... Best of luck to you all, Rob http://www.skoda.ie/owners/Pages/software-update.aspx

Well done sir! Best of luck with it ... Rob
