Let Skoda Australia know your gripes. I did, after my thread in the Fabia forum - said how much those in NZ get all the good variants and options for Fabia, and Oz doesn't. Apparently, they have...
Absolutely brilliant day, with lots of great classic dubs, sadly only 2 Audi and no Skodas. Here are a few of my pics....
You are right about snowballs chance for getting options. I dropped in to a Skoda dealer somewhere south of Wollongong and said I lived in Sydney. "What would it take for you to come back down here...
You know, I had a closer look at new car photos. It looks like the 81TSI DSG models of the Fabia hatch come standard with a centre armrest, but the 66TSI manuals don't. Maybe only the DSG models also...
Wondering if anyone has managed to order a new Skoda with your own custom choices, like paint and interior options. I don't mean picking from the limited official options for your model (using the...

Took the car dealer's Polo for a test run and it is a nice machine. I especially like the acceleration when the turbo kicks in - amazing for a 1.2 litre. The only thing stopping a purchase is the...
Ah yes, he said something about the timing chain coming free when the tensioner fails.
Thanks for the insight.
Am looking at a 2010 77TSI Comfortline this weekend, and speaking with my VW mechanic he said "problems with the turbo petrol". But I haven't seen anything about recalls or engine problems to do with...
Hey, I'm new to the VW scene, having had only Mitsubishi's the last 25 years.
My Golf was the most researched car I've ever bought - pitted petrol against diesel, VW vs Citroen vs Peugeot vs...
