Hello all,
I am posting for some insight.
I bought my Karoq diesel estate 1.6 TDI SE L in Feb 2022 with 28k on the clock.
it doesn’t get driven hundreds of miles a week, but at least 100 and cruise control utilised, at least 60 miles of that 100 motorway.
travelling back down from Scotland, the glow plug light came on, lost acceleration power and then just cut out completely, stuck in a motorway slip road. RAC called and that has been a total disaster.
When it eventually got to our garage, a fault came up with a pressure sensor. Our garage says that this could have contributed to the overload of DPF (which internally is smashed/in pieces).
I have been told that a DPF should last 100-150k, so my question is- do I have some come back in this issue with the garage I bought or from, RAC or Skoda themselves.
Car is obviously undrivable and part is £1917 + vat (I paid £18,600 and have only driven 7k since bought last Feb).
any help/advice appreciated.
