Hi all, just a little update, managed to get a full refund on the car and so now on the look out for another!! Does anyone know if this is a problem with the tranmission/clutch on particular models or years? Looking for another Fabia but want to try and avoid this issue occuring again if possible Thanks in advance Steve

Contacted the MD of the dealership and he is coming back to me tomorrow so watch this space!! thanks so much for taking the time to give me your advice, really appreciated

Thanks for the response, i have had a response from them stating that i jsut need to have it back and hope all is ok!! They have already told me that the warranty will only cover faulty parts and as they cannot diagnose an issue they cannot do anything under warranty!! Given how recently we puchased it i have advised them of my intention to use the Consumer Rights Act 2015 , now they have had an attempt at fixing it, if it happens again which it sounds like it will, i will be requesting a full refund. I suppose i just need to use it alot for the next few days to replicate the issue and i can then fingers crossed take it back to them proving the fault and they will not be able to deny it has one!! Steve

Hi all, i'm new to the Forum so hello to all and hoping to be able to pick up useful tips and guidance from the more experiance and mechanically savy!! We recently purchased our forth Skoda from a main dealer, it is a 2013 Fabia with 50k on the clock with a 12 month warranty. All was well for the first week and then the clutch started sticking half way down when changing gear, this was intermittant and not everytime it was driven. I contacted the dealer 15 days after we picked it up after the Mrs was driving it, luckily outside our house (cul-de-sac) and the clutch pedal stuck completely down whilst she was changing gear. She had to turn the engine off, reach down and pull the pedal back up as she couldnt engage a gear. We called Skoda assist and the AA guy who came out said that there was no sign of any fluid leaking and that they would take it back to the dealer for us to be looked at but not to expect too much as they would probable not want to spend too much on it under warranty and may just try and fob us off. They took it in and after a day or so contacted to say they could not replicate the fault and had re-bleed the system to cancel out any air being in the system. Any ideas on what people think it could be? I have contacted them to ask if they checked the Master and Slave cylinder and am awaiting a response. Not really happy if there is likely to be a big repair bill at some point soon and would rather get our money back but they are refusing stating there is no fault. Steve
