I have done 10000 miles now and never used a drop of oil, as for mod's, well i'm getting on in life now and the thousands ive spent over the years on scoobys/nissans/mazdas/bmw/honda/toyota etc etc has had to stop. Its quick enough and has good mpg so i just drive it and enjoy it. Keep er lit

As for the pulling to the left I have a few posts on here about the problem. I went through the whole saga with Skoda with my VRS and eventualy ended up with I think 4 wheel allignments with one being carried out by Audi, then I got 4 new Pirelli P-Zero fitted. The pull was reduced at town speeds but not much different at motorway speeds ie. I have to keep pressure on the steering wheel to stay in a straight line. I put this down to big wheels, low profile tyres and the camber of the road,I have learnt to put up with it as there is nothing more Skoda are going to do about it. Recently spent 2 weeks on holiday to the Moto GP in Silverstone and then into France and around the Somme area. The whole way to silverstone the car had its usual left pull, but low and behold once I got of the boat in France and drove on the right the car could be driven at 70-80 mph with no hands on the wheel, with the camber running to the right the car drove as straight as a die hmmmm interesting no pull whatsoever

mine has just been fitted with a set of Pirelli P-zero fitted, 800 miles done so far and cant complain

Cheers Tony The wife is bringing it over to the dealer on friday and yes they did mention something about spraying something somewere, according to the wife

Cheers George I think i will let Skoda deal with it, I'm sure they will be over the moon to see me again

Magic another 'they all do that sir' cheers

New problem 800 miles on the vRS now and after getting the left pull sorted the rear end now sounds like you have sat on an old creaky bed when you go over a speed bump or a bump in the road Anyone had this problem or know what it is before another trip to the dealer Sounds like bushes to me although when i open the boot and sit and bounce the car up and down i cant hear a thing Pete

I have a GSD and he is more than happy in the hatch

Pirelli's will sort the problem, like night and day

As far as i am aware the problem is with the Dunlop tyres fitted to the 17" Gigaro alloys on vRS and Monte Carlo models , so if you have these fitted then you will more than likely experience the pulling to the left, has your car felt like this from new? I doubt Skoda would change the tyres with 31k on them. I would get in touch with your dealer and get the car looked at under warranty. Mine felt exactly the same as yours, read through this thread and others to get a proper idea of whats going on and what other's are doing about it

Got the car back today and as if by magic it drives straight, so the problem was indeed the Dunlop tyres, Skoda fitted 4 Pirelli P Zero Nero and the car feels perfect, and a big thanks to the service department in Mervyn Stewart who fitted the unfitable mudflaps !! Thanks guys

Its very unlikely we will do more than 30k as i use my bike for work and the wife works 4 miles from home, i will have a look at the accessories catalogue, i think i will ask for mudflaps as i was told they cannot be fitted to a vRS and have since found out from this forum that they can cheers
