Just taken delivery of a new roomster 3, and it appears to have disc brakes on back and front.
Havn't mentioned it to suppliers just in case I may look stupid.
Manual says disc front and drum brakes rear, am I missing something.
if you have it you will have a esp button on the dash
ESP - Electronic Stability Programme. Stability control uses clever electronics and a car's braking system to prevent skids during emergency manoeuvres
have a look at the video E - ESP - What Car?
I don't think it is a goof, all 1.9 Tdi's have discs. I don't have ESP either.
Ahh! Guess it's not the same as the FabiaII then.

Well wouldn't know about that 100% as we don't get anything other than the 1.6 & 1.9TDI in the Roomster... Yet didn't think ESP was available on the 1.2 & so forth...
Sorry no ESP on my Roomster 3.
It's a 1.6 petrol engine, wonder why they have put discs on the rear, does anybody know the official explanation.
Wonder if I can claim a refund or compensation as they have sold me something different to what was described in the brochure,
By the way anybody interested in buying a fixing kit for roof rails on a roomster.

Are you in the UK?
Stuff varies from market to market. The only Fabia with rear discs and ESP and standard is the 1.6 Tiptronic, all other models is a cost option,
Don't know how you managed to get rear discs without ESP!

Having standart rear disc brakes depends on which country the car is exported to (for bigger engines they are standart). For example, here in Bulgaria, all small engined Skoda cars are equiped with rear drum brakes - doesn`t matter if it`s Octavia, Fabia or Roomster. My 1.4 TDI Roomster has rear drum brakes, I`ve seen a Roomster Scout 1.6 petrol, with ESP and drum brakes too .

Are you sure? Is it not more likely you mistook the disc/drum combo VAG uses though-out their line-up as drum only. Don't believe the ESP is mated to a drum only rear braking system...
