Just read a few websites. It's saying not recommended especially with today's automobiles so you shouldnt do it but in the past it wasn't that uncommon. He was a mechanic for a bit 30 years ago so maybe that is where he picked it up.
And the car is running grand and we are both still breathing baby

Brought this to a mechanic while getting my car serviced and he just fobbed me off . Who would be the best person to look at this? (I wanted to avoid the Skoda dealer as I think there is only one in Sandyford.)

Have you tried all the Skoda dealers? I know it's not close to you but Pilsen in Ballymount are just off the M50.

I haven't no. Just thinking about what to do.
The thing is, the service manager is a friend of a friend and we both know one another - I'm not 100% sure it's him though - more than likely it is. If it is him, is it a case that there is no availability or read between the lines . The reason I say this is because a long time ago - I went to another dealer to buy a car - and I picked the car out and went to buy it, the sales man (friend of the family) was there, and said are you REALLY sure you want that one? and I was there yeah, and he kept saying to me - go and look at other cars, just don't buy the 1st car you see. I, being very young and naive was adamant I want to buy that car. Long story short, your man swung by the house on the way home and told us the car was a dud and not to buy it! My wife's car - the battery wouldn't charge - the dealer, auto key and another garage had the car between them for 2 months trying to fix it. Just under 2k spent on trying to fix it and it turns out there was a bad connection on the alternator and they disconnected and reconnected the cable and that fixed it. She has no come back on the 2k. Edited by horsebox - 30 Jun 2023 at 3:02pm |

you can buy a pretty decent diagnostic machine for about 200 euro, not pro quality but deffo decent. I have one for my car that cost 90 euro which has already saved me hundreds

Another mechanic said it needs a new control module to be supplied by a main dealer. The 4 parking sensors are not getting a reading from the diagnostics. Edited by horsebox - 06 Jul 2023 at 4:02pm |

In the 4 or so years you have that car I have had 3 different cars (including a 2016 VRS which sold for the same price as buying it for 2 years and 25kms later) and haven't had to do as much as change a bulb!! You've had serious bad luck with that yoke.

Thought as much, that’s why I was sending you to a main dealer!
