How many miles so far in your VRS ??

gazzer04 · 12-01-2007, 23:11

Just wondered, as mine has now done 26,000 since the middle of Jan last year
Second service due in 1200 miles,
Second set of front tyres required at about same time.

Anyone done many any more than this ?

Couple of minor niggles but nothing that stopped it functioning.

CD multichanger died, Fan motor resistor block packed up, a couple of interior trim issues.

Octy not Fabia, thats a few miles Chris what do you do ?
Only a new air metering valve / sensor and re-sticking the seal on the rear window and resealing the rear passenger side quarter light.
Have been trying Michelin pilot sport 2's on the front for last 12,000, not bad, what do you think of Toyos ?

Fluffmeister · 12-01-2007, 23:34

I don't know about the Toyo's yet, they are in the garage m8

got to get the local tyre place to put them on.

Just done 12500ish since March last year.
I have had it serviced and also replaced the carp Contis with Goodyear Eagle F1's. Much better IMHO. Although for the last month or so armbands would be more appropriate.
Apart from rattles and creaks nothing special to report.

Just turned 7k miles today since Sept 1st.

No big problems as yet (Keeps Fingers Crossed)

6,500 since June 06.

I don't tend to use it much during the week but do a fair few miles on long journeys as both the wife's family and mine live 200+ miles away.

Problems so far:

- Airbag warning light came on - part replaced under warranty
- Rattles - some fixed under warranty
- Mild rusting on the wheel hubs - rubbed down and painted under warranty
- Headlamps misting up - both replaced under warranty

I am on first name terms with the service manager now though. The only thing that does bug me are the niggly rattles.

I seen that on the first dealer demo I seen. One of the other guys has a similiar issue. I think the brake disc and hub are all one assembly. AFAIK they were going to replace the lot

.
I have kept an eye on mine for it but thankfully it seems okay.

It seems to be fine now and hasn't come back thankfully.

4 litres of top up oil and a couple of tyres though.
