Never a wiser word said, have you checked your tyres ? Also check your suspension lower arm ( I dont know what else they call it). Make sure that tie rod was replaced & not bent back into shape. Take it to any other reliable mechanic & he will tell you (But I'll be damned if skoda will cheat like that).

Hi JayD,

They checked for any bend while balancing.

Thanks

exactly the tyre if it has lost shape is the main culprit at makes the presence felt at very low speeds and at speeds in excess of 100kmph. have gone thru this strange behavior and a new tyre solved the problem.
