2003 Skoda Octavia Ambient review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent, except for the rattles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat belt receiver failed at 30000 miles.
Master cylinder (brakes) failed at 31000 miles, both issues resolved by dealer at no cost.
An annoying rattle has developed at 37000 miles inside both rear doors and is intermittent in the drivers door.
General comments?
Perfect except for the rattling doors. It is making the car unpleasant to drive even on good roads. Every possible action was taken by both myself and the dealer to try and cure the problem including, adjusting the receivers, lubricating the door seals, removing and stripping down the doors, but to no avail. The suspension was also examined. If anyone has a cure for this I would be over the moon.
