It’s not the first report of transport blocks being left in I’ve seen (not just Skoda). You can guarantee there’s a tick box on the pre-delivery inspection checklist that someone hasn’t carried out properly.

Blimey, so glad I've seen this post. My rear suspension thuds through the back chassis going over any pothole so as I'm taking the car in to get the brakes looked at (they crunch and squeak loudly every time I come to a stop) I'll get them to check this too.

Is it possible to see the blocks without raising or removing a wheel.

I get an obvious knock when going over any sort of pothole so would like to check before contacting the dealer.

The only jack I have available is a two tonne trolley jack (cheap Aldi jobby) that I am nervous about using both from a weight and jacking location point of view.

I have tried to see and feel around the back of the wheel while it is sat on the ground but not been able to come to any conclusion.

Have you seen the photos earlier in this thread? They show where the blocks will be. It looks like you can just reach over the top of the wheel and pull down the black sheath to check.

I had a half hearted attempt but was unable to even feel the gaiter.

Maybe my arms are too short :D

there are no transport blocks on the Enyaq's rear suspension, only in front.
So all knocks, clanks that most users hear, have to come from somewhere else.

I've been suffering with poor ride comfort for ages so jacked up each front wheel this afternoon to find out if I have the transport blacks still fitted.

Well it appears the dealer left 2 blocks in on both sides.

So 4 blocks in total

removing them has made such a difference to the ride quality. Much more in keeping with a modern car..!

I've sent a strong worded email with photos to my dealer.. lets see what I get back. Really not happy, what damage could this of done to the shock absorbers.?

Wow, I remember this happened years ago to an old BMW I owned.

Absolutely hideous, suggested it to the dealer and they denied, took the car in for a check and found NO FAULTS, car came back a different car to drive. Suspect they removed the blocks and denied it.

That's the reason I took photos and took them out. They cannot deny the fact as I have the evidence.!

The car rides so much more smoothly... it's made such a difference..

Lets see what the dealer says tomorrow..!

Is there any way to check without jacking up the car? Don’t have a jack!
