After being nearly pished if the road by a tractor I kerbed my dark chrome wheel on my vrs,its nit affected the chrome lip just the black spokes on the wheel.can most wheel refurb places match the exact colour or would I be best to take it to my local skoda dealer and get them to do it?

Unless they have a paint shop they will use whoever comes in to do their jobs, 

best get someone your self.

 

Be as well to ask them though, incase they will charge less.  Easier for the Mobile guy to come to you, or drop the wheel off with him.

 

Sorry,

just spotted. long time no see on here.

Ask T&P. see who they use.

Is you car good now after the engine replacement?

Erm kinda,still using quite a bit if oil it's in every 600 miles to be checked.had a wheel bearing changed and getting a back shocky done this week.

Are you still in Warranty, best get the engine dealt with properly,

was it a New replacement or rebuild?

 

2 year extended warranty from Skoda is £547, done/paid at the dealers, even if they say must contact Skoda.

Yea it's still or over a year warranty left,it was a brand new engine.they say its meant to use 0.8 litres to a 1000 miles but its using about 1.3 litres

You see they lie.

It is not meant to use.

They VW claim that 0.5 litres per 1000km (662 miles) is acceptable, & recently a member had a check done and they said OK, at less than this.

 

1 litre of Oil every 1324 miles would be a joke.  

1.3 litres every 1000 is just taking the Pith.  

No Skoda Executive would think that acceptable if their car.

 

You really need to get them to do a proper Oil Consumption test again and get them to repair the car correctly.

Maybe best get Skoda to supply the oil until they fix things.

 

doing 10,000 miles a year & 13 litres at £8.00 a litre, £104, and still need it serviced and another 3.6 litres. that would be mental.

Half of that would be bad enough.

 

EDIT. 

Worth speaking to 'Daniella @ the Service Desk at Skoda' in Dundee & getting the car in for an Oil Consumption test.

Explain all to her.  (She really knows her stuff and take a genuine interest inn getting things right for customers.)

She might be able to help with someone to do the wheel for you.
