I usually park under the building so I haven't noticed it, but two weeks ago, I opened the car after a heavy rain and found out the driver side (and the seat behind it) had wet floor. Actually you can say that there was a serious puddle there.
Took it to my garge. They found out that there was a problem with the windshield which was connected to the car only by two small dots of silicone. I was ready to pay for it myself, but when they took down the windshield to put the new silicone, it turns out that all the electricty under the dashboard is rusty.
Called the leasing company, and they said they haven't changed the windshield so it's not their problem. They talked to the main skoda garge around and sent the car there.
The Czech technical dept. of skoda told them to repair the windshield dry the car (that part took them 6 days by the way) and check all the electricity (replace the problematic components). Skoda is paying for the whole thing.
My question is has anyone ever heard of problems with the windshield in Skoda (doesn't have to be roomster). I just want to understand where I am at with the company, cause replacing the parts might not solve the problems.

I have owned my Roomster since 2009 when I purchased it from my father. The car had only done 16'000 in 3 years and even now has only 42'000 on the clock.
Along the way over the last 2 years we have suffered a few minor issues with the car, and these are as follows:

Fan turns itself on even when engine stone cold and has resulted in completely flat batteries when we return to the car followed by the enbarrasing bump start along the car park! (Took fuse out to cure it!)

A little yellow light illuminates to tell me (acording to the manual) that the cornering lights are faulty.I don't think i have any and an ECU diagnostic revealed nothing..light on dash goes out approx 1 min after start up.

Annoying rubbery type grinding noise from under drivers floor...think this is the rear console bush perhaps?

radio once stopped working. well it turned on but there was no noise at all...strange! Sorted itself out the next day!

Wear on the outer edges of both front tyres...still sorting that one.

Hate the fuel remaining fuel system.....goes from "you have 25 miles of range" to "you have 10 miles of range" after running my son to school which is a return trip of 6 miles.....?

Why did Skoda decide to not fit a temparature gauge?

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e393/pinkpanther_75/DSC_4552-1.jpg

I collected it last week and have covered just under 300 miles thus far. I previously owned a 2007 1.9 TDi 2 and must agree that whilst the new CR engine is much quieter, it does lack the low down torque which made the older engine seem "easier" to drive in most scenarios. I find myself using a gear lower than was possible with the 1.9. My old car was however Revo'd from new, so probably does not represent a fair comparison.

The glass roof is a nice addition and the new radio / MDI system seems a great improvement on the stereo fitted to my old 2007 car. The headlights also seem to be improved over the 2007 (? pre facelift car).

This is my 8th Skoda and represents quite a change from the last car - 2007 Honda CRV 2.0 ES Auto. The fuel economy is also a welcome relief at 47 mpg vs 21 mpg.

After learning all about the benefits of winter tyres last year I have a set of winter boots on the way for the Roomster. My other car (Octy Mk1 1.8 T 4x4) is currently wearing Michelin Alpins all round and I have a set of Semperit Speedgrip 2's on the way for the Roomster. These seem something of a bargain at £66 / tyre and have decent reviews also (see here - My link).

I'll let you know how I get on with the new engine and winter tyres over the next few thousand miles.

However, a couple of days ago the airbag warning light came on (as usual during start-up) and didn't turn off again.

the old brightness slider was staked. The lighting on the light switch pin is

All this makes sense only if you have a car with xenon lights, where the
Headlamp leveling system is missing already. Then the space freed up for other

All have the brightness control BTS730 Siemens chip inside, it can theoretically

The alarm on our 08 Roomster has kept going off over the last few days.

After checking windows, loose bits inside and so on I realised that the "map-of-the-car" (no idea what this is really called) electronic display on the dash was flashing. It became clear that the system thinks the driver's door is open even when the door is physically closed (and locked). This then triggers the alarm. I am double-pressing the door lock button on the key fob and this appears to be helping but, having said that, the alarm just went off outside I as I compose this post.

I am not sure how to lock the doors without activating the alarm. Double-clicking the fob button (same as using the in-door button) merely turns off the in-car vibration sensors - the alarm will still activate if it thinks the door is open. I can leave the car unlocked but it's not really ideal to leave my car unprotected.

We are really annoying the neighbours (with a young baby) and I would love to fix this myself - I would prefer to avoid the cost of a garage visit if possible.

I assume that the door has a pressure switch somewhere but I cannot find anything obvious. There's a metal tag at the base of the door that fits into a slot below the door sill but that doesn't immediately appear to be relevent. Does anyone have any clues where to start?

Thanks

Salesman came out with a courtesy car and a technician, but couldn't sort the problem. The tech thinks it's an overheating fuel pump relay. Brought his diagnostic computer with him, but it wouldn't boot up! (don't you just love MS Windows...)

The car was PDI'd and showed no faults -anybody else had a new car break down with less than 10 miles on the clock?

Still, at least I get to drive about in a brand new Octavia Elegance for a couple of days...]]> Sat, 03 Dec 2011 15:59:29 +0000 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/220945-is-this-a-record/ http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/220810-roomster-14-diesel-vs-petrol/
The eternal debate...

I drive 200-250 miles/week. Choice of second-hand 1.4 TDi (not sure if 70 or 80 hp) or 1.4 petrol 85 hp. The TDI has a towbar which might indicate heavy use...
There's also a 1.9 TDi in the same price range, but is it a good move tax-wise?

Which do you reckon will be cheaper to run?

If any one fancies their roomster being on show to Briskodians for the duration of November get a picture up.

Literally anything considered......]]> Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:35:34 +0000 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/220668-anyone-got-any-pictures-of-their-roomster/ http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/220527-two-stone-paint/ hi guys has eny body seen eny roomsters in a two stone paint jobs thanks pete Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:56:45 +0000 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/220527-two-stone-paint/ http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/220373-how-far-is-the-radiator-from-the-grille/ Sun, 27 Nov 2011 12:44:37 +0000 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/220373-how-far-is-the-radiator-from-the-grille/ http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/220310-towbar-electrics/ I'm looking to get a towbar fitted for my Roomster 2, but I'm a bit confused. It says in the manual (under where it says towbars are optional) that Roomsters come with fitted electrics- does this mean that I do not need to get a fitter to do the electrics, as they are already there, or they are prepped for, or they are still an optional extra. I haven't looked for any yet as I am a new mum with baby brain! Any advice would be gratefully received, so I can get some accurate quotes
Thanks!]]> Sat, 26 Nov 2011 16:36:06 +0000 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/220310-towbar-electrics/ http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/220200-12-tsi-105hp-noises/
Though, I noticed that the engine seems to be getting more rumbling at low revs vith the passing of time and miles (or km in my case...).
Furthermore, I am constantly hearing a ticking noise coming from the engine. A service guy told me it is normal and it is coming from the injection. Lately, it seems like this noise has become louder.

Has anybody experienced the same, or it is just an impression of mine, having become accustomed to the engine's own noises?
And, has anybody had the ECU updated and noticed those noises had diminished after the update?
