What's the vibration in my Skoda?

HI, I recently purchased a Skoda Octavia 2016 - 1.6diesel with 44000km. I love the car but after 1200km (have it about 2 weeks nearly) I noticed a little vibration at high speeds and sometimes at lower speeds. Could there be any reason for this. Anthing I can do before I go back to the garage. Just seems a little odd. Thank you.

Hi Sean,

Though it's almost impossible to analyse something like that from afar, my money would go on a wheel being out of balance. This could have been caused by one of the balancing weights falling off or damage to a tyre. Obviously, it might not be that at all and it's well worth bringing the car back as it will most likely be under warranty. Saying that, a wheel going out of balance is not likely to be included in a warranty as it could happen at any time.
