Do you have a part number? Where did you buy it from please?

Just picked up the car, clutch was replaced under warranty as a small oil leak found. Great service from them as to be honest they could quite easily have taken me for a grand! Before I knew the result I spoke with the dealer I bought it from and the Manager told me to contact him before paying if they did try and charge me, so fills me with a bit of confidence that they’re not all out to rip us off. Thanks all for your advice, I will be writing to Skoda UK to complain about the defect on an “Approved” used Skoda, just in case there is an underlying issue that may reoccur in another 15k miles.

Hi, New to this forum and just after any advice from anyone with similar experience. Bought a 2018 Octavia VRS 245 from Skoda dealer several miles from my home, 14k on clock. In the first month the battery kept going flat if the doors were open while cleaning etc or radio on without the engine on, had to jump it and booked it in to dealer much closer to home, not where I bought it from, as they said it would be under warranty and no need to go all the way back to where I bought it. A couple of days before it went in the clutch pedal started sticking so told them when I dropped it off and they said they’d look at. Battery replaced under warranty and clutch pedal had been lubricated. A week later clutch pedal sticking again and was quite dangerous driving onto a roundabout without any drive! Took it back to local dealer and was told £400 to strip it down and if it’s the clutch it’s £1k in total as it’s a consumable item and not covered under warranty. I have done less than 2000 miles in the 8 weeks I’ve had it. It’s currently in the dealers being stripped. Anyone anything similar?
