What you’re referring to is, the stability control (ESP) his has been discussed many times on here before.

Going from memory, I’m sure my old 08 plate diesel vrs was cast metal. I certainly don’t remember any alloy parts.

The Diesel vrs will spin up cheap tyres at every opportunity, even in the dry. I always run Michelin premacy’s and even had the sports once, the car could still spin up with they tyres, if you got a bit excited on the rare opportunity that you had no wife or kids in the car.

Are you fitting new callipers or ones from a breakers. Have you greased the runners the callipers sits on from the mounting bracket.

Personally I would stay away from the vw’s vans. Overrated and over valued. For the money you want to spend I’d stick with something from PSA OR Renault. Giving the fact it’s going to france and potentially being sold there and spares are not an issue.

Jack the car up and and get on axle stands, compare the coils. If there both the same visually with the same amount of coil, ones probably fatigued and done. Change them in pairs, never single, you’ll just case the same issue but reverse if you do. You can download Haynes manuals now.

This could still well be driveshafts. Even if they are new, they are all re-con units theses days and a lot of them out there for sale are junk. I previously worked in the motor parts sector for a long time and come across some bad re-con companies, some so bad it was unbelievable. The 2 most reliable brands back then were AMK and GKN. That was along time ago and even brands I had every confidence in then, I wouldn’t recommend to an enemy these days.

That bit that’s missing is held in by a bolt, that’s only accessible when the door is open. That’s a weird one.

That’s pretty bad for the miles the car has done. Darkside definitely know what they’re doing.

55000 might seem low for a clutch needing replaced but you have no idea how the owners before you drove the car. Take the car back to the garage who carried out the repair and speak to them, did you tell them it was the clutch or did they diagnose a faulty clutch?. You have no case against Skoda for a clutch, mileage means nothing when It comes to clutches and going by the price of the car, it’s out of warranty. There’s a good video on YouTube, from a guy called Diagnose Dan, who strips down a polo dsg gear box with the 1.4. The fault might be the gear actuator, I’m sure there is a specific way you have to re-set them.
