Gone for repair yesterday - seems the aerial is coming loose - mechanic wiggled it from side to side and there is a gap in the seal and lots of water coming out. It's under warranty which is good - on Monday he is starting to strip the headlining to get at the aerial mount.

My 2010 Octy has been misting since I bought it new and started leaking recently - water running into the boot. Looks like it runs down the C pillars from the roof rails (Estate) - I've used paper tissue to track where the water comes out. Luckily the Octy is still under warranty. I use a bike rack (18kg) with 2 adult bikes (2*12kg) and 1 child bike (8kg). Skoda support the TDF and the team cars have 7 bikes. I'm not liking the sound of body shop - Octy is going in this weekend for diagnosis. I'll let you know how I get on.

Oh you guys make me feel much better - it's the only negative of my 60 reg Octy L&K for the last 2 years. Glad I'm not alone. New problem - I found a mobile swimming pool in spare wheel well yesterday (coming in through grommet for park sensors). Another joy. BTW - I have found that if the windscreen is clear on a cool day when I get in, I turn off the Climate and open the window. Otherwise the fan blows moist air onto the windscreen and I have to stop for it to clear.

Oh great - just found mobile swimming pool in spare wheel well this afternoon - my 60 reg estate has been misting the windows since I bought it new 2 years ago. Beek to Skoda once for investigation but nothing found. Looks to me that water is coming through the grommet where parking sensor wiring goes through. I was only getting spare wheel to investigate scored rear disk at 14k miles. Looks like a trip to dealer is due.
