Chatting to an elderly neighbour today about when his new Zafira was supposed to arrive - it is a scrappage trade in for his ancient Toyota - as he should have had it about a month ago, but I hadn't seen it yet.This was his sad saga:-Car 1 - ordered, dealer went broke.Car 2 - new replacement from other dealer. Fell off the back of the transporter whilst being delivered.Car 3 - Supposed to have been delivered Monday - delivery driver pranged it on the way to his house.If you made it up, nobody would believe you.

I would suggest that a higher power is trying to tell him something.

D@mm straight he has. The original V@*xh@11 Coarser (sic) is the only reason the Zafira isn't the worst car I've ever travelled in.

Mk 4 RS, Drivers Door Seal

TheWanderer · 12 June12 Jun

Hi folks. Has anyone had their drivers door seal perish and split? If so how much did it cost to replace and is it a DIY job or best left to a garage? TIA.

How to set up two users on a 2025 Superb L&K

JohnELG · 19 hours ago19 hr

We have just bought a second hand L&K and wish to set up two users like we did on our 2016 version but cannot work out how to do it. It seems to need a smart phone but I don't have one nor do I wish to use one. Microsoft Copilot gives lots of advice but none work (Pretty much normal for Copilot). Seat positions are OK with the buttons at the side but I like things such as distance units in SI whereas my wife likes imperial. Any advice how we can set the machine up?

Hello, I’m Viper from Germany, a few people with more technical infotainment background might know me already from other forums and platforms. I’ve seen a few familiar names already. I myself don’t own a Skoda, but I’m home at VAG in general. However we do have a Skoda within the family. It’s a 2019 Skoda Karoq with the 150hp 2.0 TDI as 4x4. I own a 2019 VW Passat Variant R-Line with the BiTDI engine. My better half drives a 2016 Seat Leon 5F 1.6 TDI. We also share a 2013 VW Up! I’m especi

Not sure if I might contemplate selling this at a later date ( what is it worth I'm thinking when closer to mint at least £8K right>), but for now at least offers me one means to travel around when I get around to doing my vRS clutch which I'm loathed to use for now as it feels like its more urgent for replacement Under dads ownership he claimed this car is perfect but its not mint mint unfortunately his rose tints must have been on (buts its a decent spec with very low miles for year I men
