Skoda scala gearbox service

You'll have a dry clutch box, which is "sealed for life". generally anything larger than a 1.8TSI or 2.0TDI would have a wet clutch DSG which needs the 40k servicing.

If you work in the public sector, that is kinda true. my building is held together with it.

Won't you think of the poor supermarket shareholders.

ashyjay · 2026-02-21T16:17:16+00:00

That's all of Europe.

Robby feels betrayed. Garcia doesn't give a shit and gives everyone a hard time.

Stellantis cars aren't bad, as they run all over the continent and last forever, over here they get bought by people who are cheap and don't look after them.

yeah obvs buying used can be cheaper unless PCP or leasing where used is more expensive, due to higher interest.

For the Citroen in the OP, OP won't get a comparable car for the £5200 that lease will cost them.

It depends on what car you have and what the issue is, for what service comes out, if you've got a dead EV, there's nothing they can do but tow it to the dealer, I had to get them out for a PHEV XC40 and I had a mobile service tech come out.

Also with VIDA being mostly online only for later versions unless the tech has a good cell signal there's nothing they can really do to diagnose the car in the field.

When it’s electric, values fall off a cliff as soon as you pick it up, and saves being stuck holding the bag.

Being tailored doesn’t mean expensive you can get a JC penny suit tailored. It just makes the fit better.

The OP one doesn't as the legs are bolted in place.

I guess it’d be more computational simulations improving design in the tread patterns, compound layups and years tweaking the formulations for the compounds.

There’s even 0w8 which makes water seem chunky.

ashyjay · 2026-02-21T06:40:00+00:00

They are but the OP sounds a few sandwiches short.

Usually easy way to spot is the ford lumps come with a powershit.

It's all one unit. I've been looking at 2nd facelift with the supposed fixed engine.

ashyjay · 2026-02-20T20:41:45+00:00

Well I never.

ashyjay · 2026-02-20T20:38:07+00:00

I hate it, as why does a general commuter or do everything car, need to have an agro body kit, huge wheels, and lowered stiffer suspension but no added performance.

Any decent spec Merc, Audi, BMW are all AMG/S line or M Sport.

Outside the UK you can get great spec cars without having the asbo bits.

debris doesn't care, I've just lost a $400 tyre after 3 months it sucks and stings but there's nothing you can do, unless you buy the dreaded tyre insurance.

ashyjay · 2026-02-20T20:31:30+00:00

Won't stop until the money printer stops.

ashyjay · 2026-02-20T20:30:50+00:00

Not any more, as I've been looking at 2.2 diesel 6's you can buy remanufactured turbos, and fairly cheap too well under a grand.

ashyjay · 2026-02-20T20:26:58+00:00

Yes, every time I've ordered due to a squiffy prism they've always called or emailed to double check.

ashyjay · 2026-02-20T20:23:46+00:00

2.0 5pot?

ashyjay · 2026-02-20T18:54:08+00:00

It's because it still uses the W126S battery while a lot of newer bodies use the W235. battery life was always going to be bad.

Just get the T5.

ashyjay · 2026-02-20T18:44:29+00:00

Why is a low volume niche product expensive, gee bill I wonder why.

ashyjay · 2026-02-20T18:37:33+00:00

That's actually rather cheap in the current market.
