Hi all I've recently changed my VW Polo sdi for a black Fabia VRS tdi 130, awesome and very fast compared to the last one!

Done 134.000 miles!! Only 1 previous lady owner who covered many motorway miles for work. Never missed a service with full Skoda main dealer history, last full service was 133k which included cam belt, tensioner and water pump along with a full clutch kit.

Drives like new and pulls like a train and in immaculate condition. Only thing is it's quite smoky but only noticeable at high engine speeds which I found after I had a blast in it (over the national speed limit).... Hoping the car should last me at least 12 months without any problems, I'll treat it reasonably gently given the high mileage

Are they quite reliable motors as it's been very well looked after?

Cheers guys.

don't know of any specialists, but i use border cars, they have been good, and suprisingly well priced , for my fabia II vRS 10k £85, 20k £150, got the 30k service comming up, and have been quoted between £100-150 (I did get an exact figure, I have just forgot! lol)

a few nice touches, leaving the top up screenwash, cleaning the outside, hoovering the inside ect

I used to take my Ibiza FR to Telfords Skoda in Carlisle and they used to leave the screen wash in the car and a 1 litre bottle of oil for top ups in a leather case, that was nice! lol

Might give Border cars a whirl as it's literally on my doorstep.... Those aren't bad prices tbh, not bad a all.

Although I've not had problems with them in the past, my latest dealings with them would suggest to avoid Telfords.

Hi & welcome very nice car
