WOW!! what a helpful bunch you all are !! thanks.. 19 replies in just 3 days. it seems its a common thing then and nothing to worry about. i'll just have to do what i done when i owned cortinas........ turn up the radio lol.
i'll still go to skoda and see if they try ripping me off again by saying i need new shocks or a new suspension.
what a great site this is,, i'll keep popping in to see if anything else interesting comes along. i notice that some of you are getting water in the footwells. GET it sorted cos i had that in my passat, and it ended up needing new computor and carpet, costing $1500.
thanks all
steve
ps-- tyres were front put on by skoda their choice.....rear cheap budjets my choice
