On the first turbo malfunction the Service Department actually brought out the Turbo which was a big unit and showed me the complete turbo unit scheduled to go back to Skoda for investigation and on the second incident it was the same garage and the turbo unit was changed once again and on this third one Skoda UK /VW UK are investigating and they are in touch with the Service manager of the Dealer and I am awaiting the results of their investigation and I should know this Thursday hopefully getting some answers

It is a Skoda KAROQ EST 1.0 TSI SE L with 12000+ miles regular checked oil maintained well like all my cars so why 3 Turbos every 6 months it appears they fail it must be a component failure on this size engine I think that the 1 litre engine is underpowered for the heavy vehicle and requires more turbo power to give it the power and acceleration but this idea was given the brush off by the Skoda dealer

Hi everyone I have a Skoda Karoq brand ne 18 registration (July) the first Turbo replacement was just 6 moths aftter delivery a complete new turbo fitted as the turbo actuator arm seized up First indicated by engine symbol on dash the EPC light then into limp mode and no power so not good for the cars and traffic following behind me on the M23.The vehicle in the garage for 2 weeks. then 11 months after purchase exactly the same thing again this time on the M3 engine light symbol followed by EPC light so limped home back into the garage again and the same problem diagnosed a turbo actuator arm seizure again so a new Turbo installed No2) and the garage had the vehicle for 2.5 weeks as the part came from Germany. Then at the beginning of February 2020 exactly the same issue driving along engine light symbol comes on followed by EPC light and into limp mode once again diagnosed fault in the turbo once again and vehicle into garage for 10 days as they took pity on me I think being my 3rd Turbo on the same vehicle. joking aside in the garage my nickname is Mr Turbo but what amazes me is I have Skoda UK, VW UK and Skoda finance on the case but apparently I am the only person in Europe that this has had 3 turbos fail on the one car If you are to believe the Dealer, their service department,Skoda UK.VW Uk And Skoda Finance Personally I think this is bull**** and there must be other persons driving Skoda that have had Turbos fail I am not a happy bunny
