SKOD

We're these purchased new ? Mine will be 2nd hand and although I would treat the gearbox with respect previous owners may not of done so?

Thank you Skoffski, I presume I would have to contact a skoda dealer to find out what service/technical bulletins have been completed on a particular car or do Skoda have a similar system to Fords' etis system where you just enter reg no on the website?

Would be looking at 2012 to 2014 year. With regards to gear selector switches can these be replaced individually if not using VAG network ?

Is reliability of these as bad as some people make out? Is the 6 Speed more reliable than 7 Speed or the other way around? Thanks

Thanks for responses, looks like the petrol is better for me especially if it does the same mpg as the diesel at a lower cost per litre.

There's more diesels about at the price I can afford the nearest petrol one is over 100 miles away from me :(

I would be looking at 65/16 plate ones my daily commute comprises of 5 miles b roads then 1 mile of town driving then 4 miles of B roads then 2 miles of town driving then 2 miles of town driving then 3 miles of town driving twice a day journey takes between 40 to 1hr each way.

Maybe getting a VAG product with the above engine will be Euro 6 emmisions. Is the 1.6 TDI as bad as some people say it is? My annual mileage is 11,000 so should I be considering the 1.2 or 1.4 instead ? Thanks

Need to replace the bulb that sits behind the fan speed switch and rear number plate bulb, what bulbs do I need to purchase? Thanks

Have decided to keep my car a bit longer and want to tidy up some of the bodywork and the leather steering wheel. Don't want to spend a fortune but do want to make things better, what products do I need to purchase and how to do go about repairs https://flic.kr/s/aHsmePQ1M4

Had my cambelt, water pump and auxiliary belt replaced in October 2013 at 80,000 miles, bit confused as to when it next need changing? car now has 123,000 miles on it.

@ Yellow car you were correct screws had pulled through and ripped side panel, it seams to me that the main tray is made of a different strength of plastic to that of the main tray so after 12 years its not surprising that it gave up the ghost. Managed to park the car on sloping drive way to gain access. Used cable ties for time being, but the under tray is cracked in the centre at the front think in the past the car has hit a high curb or something as the the front bumper has a curve on the underside or are they meant to be like this? Many thanks

Do Skoda do pcp's for used Skoda's up to 4 year old, if so what are the terms etc? Thanks

Have a look here and you will find out all the miles at each MOT https://totalcarcheck.co.uk/FreeCheck?regk=S157GFM
