    I also have the creaking issues when going up my driveway on an angle.

    I'll wait for my service to mention it to the dealer

    Thumbs down

    Got a BAD intermittent Rattling dash on the left side, drives us crazy! Especially my wife... it's loud!

    Reproduced it in front of the dealer support supervisor, acknowledged it but later in the day say they can't reproduced it and said "sir, your car is the quietest...."

    Don't know what they did whilst they had it for the day but within 5 mins of going out their drive way, it was back and belting a rattling tune in the dash.

    All I can do now is crank up the music.

    I've gone to the trouble of taking it back to the dealer twice with NO JOY! and NO SATISFACTION.

    Oh, there was paint blemish that was fixed under warranty.

    Not sold on the quality...

    It's a shame, it's car that has loads of appeal, especially the 1.8l TSI engine, that's a gem of a power plant.

    Just had my 15,000km service completed by Bayford Skoda. I mentioned the creaking doors and they checked it out for me. They realigned the door strikers and cleaned and lubed all the door seals and hinges. It's as quiet as the day I bought it now, no more creaks, although I'll wait to see what happens after a few days/weeks
