The repair was at no cost me but I do have a warranty on the car so I’d say that paid for it.

Just had an email back from the service manager at my local Skoda, they’ve sent me the invoice on what work was done to the car. when I collected it they wouldn’t tell me what was wrong as I’ve mentioned above and had previously said they haven’t had anything in with these bolts coming loose and only the odd car with the seals going bad. ill attach the section of the invoice I was sent to show work done but you’ll see that one of the bits of work was “ Removal of broken stud in cylinder head” and then later a repair kit so to me it would seem that the bolt did shear it’s head and others come loose. maybe this is why they didn’t I wasn’t given any info on what was done when I collected the car but who really knows.

I’ve emailed Johnsons who operate the dealership to ask for information on what worked was carried out. I get the impression that the girl on service isn’t keen on being there as she rushes you out the door and can be a bit argumentative with you. The last time I spoke to her was when my door interior door handle snapped off and I needed to get Skoda UK involved as they were shrugging me off. Then she questioned me as to why I’d booked a courtesy car when it was a 10 minute job, when they tell me that someone will get to it when they can and don’t know how long it’ll take then I’ll book a car as I don’t fancy sitting in there for hours waiting. never had any issues with the previous chap on service, he actually tried to help and sort things out and is the main reason I bought the warranty cover.

I got the car back last night, all repaired by Skoda under the Skoda all in warranty I have with the car. I’m not sure how others would fair without the cover. The strange thing is that they haven’t told me what was actually wrong with the car. The service person said they’ll send me an email but nothing yet. I’d asked for a print out but they said that they can’t give me one since there was no cost. Id asked them to find why I had no warning lights on to show a fault with the fuel system but I didn’t get an answer. If I do get any info then I’ll update here.

I have the Skoda all in service and warranty plan thing so fingers crossed they cover it under the warranty, if not then I’ll be speaking to Dealer and Skoda UK to see what can be done about it. They called today to say that they’ll have a technician on it as soon as they can to diagnose. I mentioned the issues with the bolts and the service person said that they haven’t had anything come in with those breaking, but they have had a car recently with bad seals on the fuel rail. I’ll report back on here when they next call and the outcome.

Hi, I found last night that my Fabia has started to leak fuel. Was fine driving home from work but did a short trip after and could smell fuel and after some investigation I found it’s the same issue as what you guys have had with fuel leaking in the engine bay. I called Skoda assist last night and they’re getting it recovered today. It’s a 17 reg 1.2 tsi 110 Monte Carlo estate.
