Re: Cure for juddery wipers

The reason (my) wipers judder and have done on most of my Skodas, is that the blades do not 'flip-flop'.They stay in the angle of attack instead of changing direction on the return sweep. Yetis had a crafty set up, whereby when you parked the wipers they did a little hop which turned the blades in t...

Thanks to a new friend of mine on both this and the Yeti forum, I have solved the ridiculous ride and curbing problems of my 19" 40 aspect rubber band tyres on my Sportline. I now have a smart 'as new' set of 16" Alutec wheels with Goodyear Allseasons 60 aspect tyres. ride is far better an...

Re: Karoq ordered

Andy,
if you decide to get smaller rims/bigger tyres, P.M.me. I have done just that as my 19inch 40 aspect tyres are horrible for my old back. I have all sorts of useful info if you go that route.

Re: 12 month report - Edition 1.5, DSG, 4x4

It was my fault (as stated before) I bought the car due to the colour alone, without doing any research, It did not even occur to me re the rubber bands, I just assumed the would be at least as 'big?' as my Edition tyres (45) The other bummer is that the rear seats don't slide, so the boot is not bi...

Re: Just Ordered

Well done from a fellow Race Blue Sportline owner. If your dealer is well enough trained he will pass the factory sheet that he gets at every stage of production.

Re: 1.5 DSG sportline - Initial impressions

Sounds like a USB 'C' What is the difference between USB and USB C? USB-C features a new, smaller connector shape that's reversible so it's easier to plug in.
