| Briskodian  | Health Check?! Took my car into my local Skoda garage on Friday so they could give it a health check before I take it to Germany next week. I turn it on and the orange engine light will not go out. I have to take it back on Monday. They also investigated a rattle under the car and found that the brackets that hold the exhaust in place in the middle of the car have broken I now need a new exhaust from the cat back just because of the broken brackets. This will never be covered under the warranty. |

| Re: Health Check?! That would depend on how many parts of it you wanted. If you just want CatBack then probably not too expensive. Failing that you could post in the wanted section for the parts of the OEM exhaust that somone has removed from their car.

| Re: Health Check?! A new exhaust because of broken brackets? Thats ludicrous. You should be able to get those welded easily enough by most exhaust places.

Orange engine light was a temperature sender unit and that was a warranty item too so I am very happy again. | |

| Re: Health Check?! Skoda noticed my exhaust rattle and quoted me a stupid price to replace it, something like £200. Gave the welder bloke at Kwik Fit £10 IIRC and all is sorted.
