why is it that some Yeti DSG need an oil change at 40,000miles and some dont?

can the digital display of speed on the dash be changed from kph to mph this model only has the small number display on a 66 plate

the speedo and rev counter has failed on a 58 plate vrs have checked fuses and relays cant find anything any ideas?

Having had a 1.2tsi for 12 months now yes they are smaller than the Octy but being narrower they are tighter for room but the Sport one we have on the 215/40/17 tyres sticks to the road like s--- to a blanket handles very well and gets to 125 quickly and easyly had it for 12 months now and last week was the first other one i have seen on the road and that was an estate so they aint common the engine is that quiet i have to check the rev counter to see if its running

Skoda uk did a video of the locknut being faulty and have said to the customer that Skoda have not autherised a replacement nut for any repairs done under insurance work by them personaly i would get the insurance company to investigate and persue Skoda

New Fabia owners beware , a friend has a 1.2 Fabia III and lives on a hill he came home the other night and parked the car facing uphill moved his wifes citigo on to the drive and went in . He has CCTCV and it shows the Fabia move backwards approx 6 inchs then stops then after another 8 mins it does it again then 13 mins later it moves and carries on down the hill till it crosses the road and hits a wall and stops damaging the bumper offside light tailgate and kinked the rear os wing 1/4 panel the handbrake was still applied the start of it shown on the CCTV on checking the car it was found that the handbrake adjuster locking nut was loose and finger tight when not under tension it had wound itself off and slackend the cable the so called locknut is loose and not crimped properly Skoda says its his fault for not putting the handbrake on properly and not parking in gear with the lock pointing into the curb as all new driving instructors teach not to leave the cars in gear now i think someone is trying to pull a fast one anyone else had a problem i have just seen a simular thing with an AUDI A1 cheers

they say the car is ok so we will see if the mpg imroves after a few more miles

hi all thanks for answering i emailed skoda uk about this and got a phone call off them at lunch time today the car is going in to Bickertons in the morning for a check so will post tomoz evening to see what they say

13,500 miles at first service another thing was driving on the motorway today the soot warning light came on on the dash but cleared ok on driving another 5 miles r these things getting too computer orientated?

Having just bought a 10 plate 1600tdi SE octavia from Rainworth Skoda with a 1st years service im surprised to find all they apear to have done is an oil change on the car i would have expected pollen filter and fuel filter being done as well so can anyone advise me as to what is done on an anual service as it seems a secret from Skoda themselves as i am still waiting for a response to a previous email to them Also as a selling point the fuel consumption seems high compared to our 1.9tdi we traded in sorry but another queerey should the engine top out at 2500rpm when stationary the engine revs fine when in motion

Mk1 octavia yesterday had a problem with the wipers they wouldent turn off that then cured itself now the central locking is acting up on trying to open the drivers door with the fob it opened then immediately locked again this happens every time it is operated also the same using the key the only way to get in the car is to open the boot lid as the fob unlocks it open the drivers door shut the boot then the doors lock im suspecting it may be damp or something in the boot lid lock am i fishing in the right spot cheers

how about Skegness 24th March bring your snow shoes tho lol

have you a postcode for this location may get over from sheffield

on a run from sheffield to norwich 150 miles our 1.9tdi 110 returned 57.7mpg and the same the time before on the same run and speeds were on the high side
