Hi all,

I'm new here having just bought an Octavia 1.8T (53) with full Skoda service stamps (last service done by the dealer I bought the car from). It's done 48,000 and because it's 4 years old I'm going to get the timing belt, tensioners and water pump replaced. I've been quoted £393 incl. VAT from local Skoda dealer and I know other people have talked about prices but is there a big difference between dealers' prices and can I get it done cheaper anywhere else? Is it wiser to stick with Skoda dealers?

Thanks

Hi all and thanks for the welcome messages,

as a new and first-time proud owner of an Octavia 1.8T Elegance I was wondering if anyone can advise me on getting a spolier for the boot? Also, I'm considering getting it remapped and wondered if anyone knew of a good mobile service that can come to my work in Epping, Essex, so my long-suffereing partner doesn't get wind of my horse-powered intentions. I don't want to race like a loon (I have a baby boy to consider) but I would like to know that when I'm out on my own I can have some sensible driving fun and, I've heard that when I'm in Dad mode it will improve fuel economy. Any advice appreciated. Cheers!!
