Hey guys,

Just thought I'd contribute to this thread.

My MY08 Octy vRS is up to 37000km now. So far only have had to deal with a broken left front speaker, replaced under warranty. Front right window is extremely squeaky - I think the seal is too tight, and it's an annoyance more than anything. Anyone else have this issue?

The Roomster has been more troublesome. Had the entire rear windshield replaced because the demister was broken at delivery. The aircond has been broken more than it's been working - I've been to the dealer at least 6 times for it (definitely not fun up here in Queensland in a glass roofed car)...

I must say the service at Brisbane Skoda is diabolically bad, whereas Bryan Byrt (just opened a couple of months) has been fantastic - the service manager Will takes time out to explain everything, and gives me a courtesy car no questions asked. He showed me where one of the air cond pipes had been bent and split cuz the other guys just kept shoving it in and re-gassing the system without fixing the fault. Brisbane Skoda meanwhile makes me angry all the time (no courtesy car because I didn't buy my car from them - and a couple of times I've arrived to pick up my car in late arvo and they haven't started working on it yet).

I get my cars serviced by Mike and the team at Prestige and Performance in Coorparoo - they handle all my family's VAG cars and are fantastic.

My 2c!
Billy
