The service history is not what I'm after,it's the problems the previous owner had with it ! Dealer didn't stamp the book or show an invoice for it. Going to get in contact with the finance company and see if they can do anything ( hopefully)

Hi guys Just wondering if the previous owner of my car is on here and hopefully shed some light on the history of problems so I can build a case against the dealer. The registration is BF17AEC Octavia vrs dsg bought from Fusion motors of West Thurrock Essex. I've had the car 6 months and was told the service was done the day before purchase, 3 weeks later I was 2 weeks away from going on holiday to Cornwall, so thought i would get a dsg service for piece of mind. On the day I get a phone call asking me if I would like an engine service aswell to which I replied it's already been done ! Nothing has been touched for at least a year according to the state of the oil was the reply. So Engine and dsg service it is at a cost of nearly a grand, after the service I'm informed it needs 2 front tyres and a new coolant reservoir! Another £500. In the meantime there is no response from the dealer, by phone and whenever I visit no one is about. I have suffered the cost and moved on. Now after frequent regens over the months the car will now not regen and has gone into limp mode a week before it's MOT 😡 I can't get it into the garage until the 28th as they are fully booked, so now walking to work and without a car. To this day the dealer still not answered my calls and no one there except the car cleaner whenever I go there. I must say I've never owned a vrs before and thought these were meant to be pretty quick, well I think I've bought a dud as it seems a bit gutless to me and the worst car I've ever bought, it's on finance and I'm now stuck with it for another 4 and a half years 😡 And the rear wiper motor has packed up

And they are in walking distance from me 😀

AMD was the most reasonable price all in,other places didn't state all inclusive, skoda was £500+

I thought it was quite reasonable compared to skoda dealers

Just DSG service, Engine service is separate

Just had my DSG service done at AMD Thurrock Essex, what a difference! Would highly recommend £349.99 all in.

Hi all Anyone know of a Skoda service garage around Thurrock Essex? I have a 2017 vrs dsg, looking for gearbox service aswel as got no record of it ever being done and coming up on 114000 miles. Going to Cornwall in June so don't want any issues.

Hi, Got my first skoda, it's a 2017 Octavia vrs dog. Drove my daughters one and loved it albeit hers is manual and I bought the semi auto one. All seems fine at the moment, still getting used to it 😀1
