  1. The wife and I are about ready to chuck in the towel with ours nipped out in ours the other morning and I was convinced that while approaching home going up the hill the stuttering was that bad at 20mph that I would have sworn it was gonna break down 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
  2. I know mines a dsg but also suffers from the same problem bloody annoying at 20 mph stuttering along could have sworn this morning that it was gonna give up the ghost it was that bad and apparently there is no fix for the dsg equipped cars as yet 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ My dealer had it for 2 months earlier this due to it doing the non responsive throttle trick and we refused to drive it till it was sorted but said applied fix was supposed to cure the stutter as well but to no avail it's getting to the point of giving them the bloody thing back, still love the car and it's probably the best skoda we've had to date but there comes a point when you've had enough
  3. Hi all my dsg equipped car has similar problems to everyone else 20-30 mph light throttle gives it a nice stutter but mine also had a very dangerous thing as it suffered from no throttle response which was very unnerving and scared the hell out of the wife. The problem occurred when rolling up to a junction lift off the brakes rolling momentum carries you out into the road and you naturally press the accelerator and yep nothing happened engine sat on tick over not to bad in town but when joining a 60 mph road made it interesting. Took skoda over 2 months to write new software for it, l refused to drive it so they put me in a hire car hope this helps. Ironically it's going back in Friday as the stutter is no better but not had the unresponsive issues reappear yet
  4. Think i like it may have the original grille wrapped instead
  5. like the RS4 idea problem being is it would cost you neally that much to run it for 3 yrs lol
  6. has anyone had a problem with the handbrake on a 03 on drums my apprentices car had ripped the mounting bracket off the floor pan is this a common fault
  7. nah my next car will be a yeti 170 elegance slightly shorter & 4x4 and a dam sight comfier than the vrs which i do love but my back doesnt plus is almost as quick as the vrs
  8. a pimped reault trafic sport and (according to the wife) too many motorcycles dont think 5 is excesive would anyone agree
  9. thought there was a differance just got my figures wrong lol
  10. sorry to be a spoiler here but correct me if i am wrong T5 are 125mm pcd and the octavia is 115mm pcd so they wont fit think the T4 might of been 115mm but not sure
  11. seen one the other day in the village where i live and am not sure had black grill wheels and mirrors liked the idea before seeing one in the metal was a hatch though think estate would look better
  12. I love my vrs ok its a diesil but who cares mind you l dont get to drive her that often as am self employed and have to drive a van most of the time so the wife gets that pleasure and she loves it too would l have another well this is my second so yes not a problem
  13. ring simpsons at colne quoted me £178 inc vat for first service on my vrs
  14. they are a kleber all seasons tyre but gave mega grip last night they are 205/55/16/ on audi rims
  15. got to admit was well immpressed with my winters last nite total revelation well worth £400 for tyres and alloys felt like vrs would go anywhere
  16. obviously jonny you dont like diesils and only know how to make rapid progress by reving the arse of a petrol engine and lets be fair you can only do so much with traffic today without being classed as a k**b. Im not insulting you but am sure you get what me is saying
  17. am sorry to put a downer on your comment jonny boy but with regular spirited driving my octy vrs does 45-50mpg so a car thats a lot lighter why not
  18. All this is very interesting but reading the specs on the petrol vrs 7.3s to 60 now using the A1 as an example the cr143ps the are quoting 8.0s to sixty add in the £20 for road tax and a quoted 69.8mpg on the combined cycle am i right or wrong that makes a lot of sense if you like driving diesil cars as i do and to say a derv is no fun why do octy vrs diesils sell like hot cakes its all about grunt why drop 2 gears to overtake someting when you can just plant the trottle and go in a realworld driving from a to b there would not be owt in it to me its all about personal choice and also cr does not sound like a tractor on start up
  19. ah i see didnt realize that was the case not well up on fabia looks like i may have to have a serious look at the A1 then for now
  20. Am looking to downsize from my octy cr vrs but dont want a petrol atried a monte carlo and its not got enough ummph after a CR170 vrs has any one heard of any rumours assosiated with the diesil vrs coming back/. I notice audi have put the 140 diesil in there A1 so who knows your thoughts would be greatly appreciated
  21. Nice now if it was in race blue or even rallye green then the vrs would be ditched pronto
  22. If i remmeber correctly the T5 wheels are 125mm pcd and vrs has 115mm pcd so they will not fit
  23. if you have got maxi dot then you can do it yourself i think its under conveinience settings
  24. has got a look of the tiguan down the side looks good though
