It is good that EV Technicians are now being trained to meet the demand in the future. Good if there is new blood into the Motor Trade and not just old hands & those already working as techs, mechanics or fitters but ones that will learn properly how to service, maintain and put vehicles out that are safe to be on the road.

A dealership are not underwriting the Warranty Claim so has the Dealership submitted a Warranty Claim. If you pay for a part you will want the broken one checked. They might say it is an Exchange Unit so will cost you more if not Exchanged / returned. Back onto Skoda UK. ? Did they reject a Warranty Claim? Has a Warranty Manager seen the part,,? Do not take the word of a call handler at Skoda UK.

Will get a chance to later to read the article but one popped up on n my phone about the ID.3 Estate. Estates really are what VW and Skoda, Audi and Seat need to get a move on with producing. EDIT,. Sorry nothing to see here. It was just the article from 2019 on a VW hope and dream.

?????????? Did a fully qualified technician doing an Oil & Inspection Service fail to identify a Broken Steering Rack, or having picked up on a noise just sign off a Service and send a car out on the road at risk to the Customer and other innocents? No further inspection or investigation into the noise while they had the car and had been road testing it!

You need to contact Skoda UK today, do this online, there is the contact on the website, https://www.skoda.co.uk/discover/contact-us Call now if suitable and they can have a Responsible Adult call you back. then a Communications Manager can call you, then have them confirm in writing what they say. They might dismiss this as a Dealership issue, you must insist you need to know if a Safety Issue, did a Steering Rack fail. Did it fail only after the car was in for a Service. The dealership sent the car out to you with a noisy Steering Rack or something and had you return with that. Someone is taking the Michael, and it looks like the Dealership. So Skoda can get a Resolution Manager on it, or send in an Engineer to the Dealership or get the Steering Rack delivered to them for inspection.

This was a great build by a young member. Just add lightness and speed and still FWD. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/342983-a-citigo-junior-rally-car

@Amrhldw So the Dealers Warranty Manager or the Area one needs to arrange that the component can be examined by a qualified person that can decide. They can not just dismiss it as not covered by the Manufacturers Warranty. Skoda UK can arrange the examination by the VW Groups technical department. The Dealership is acting as your agent and not just a Skoda Gate Keeper who can reject warranty claims. PS So Steering Column, or Steering Rack. Is this what the Master Tech is telling you in person or someone on the Service Desk or the Workshop Manager?

How it was just a few years back, up to 2019/20. Pulman Skoda were taking the pith with a Interim for just a Pollen Filter as an extra. They all get Long Life Oil. All took the pith that called the first Variable Service a Major and many got away wit charging and nor changing stuff. Cheated HMRC as well as Customers.

EDIT @edbostanFor a rep or anyone doing 20,000 miles it was a Major Service they called it For 9,400 miles a Year or between services it was Minor & Major, then theu changed that to Interim & Major. In the First Major Service at 20,000 miles / 24 Months nothing extra waws done but they charged the extra. Skoda do not call them a Schedule' they are recommendations and while in warranty the T&C's say you have to service to the Recommendations. So if someone has a car on Variable / Flexible servicing and does 2,000 miles a year ir is 24 months before they need have an Oil & Filter change. Nobody makes you have anything done to your car other than a MOT after 3 years then each year if in the UK. Spark Plugs were shown at each 2nd Major Service so @ 4 years / 40.000 miles. No need for that, or brake fluid @ 3 years then each 2. You can test the Fluid. Air filters were each 2nd Major Service, you can inspect and clean them, same with the Pollen Filter each 2 years. Cars doing few miles should be well checked if the owner is not doing it. Now they show the Air Filter @ 6 years. That is OK if you inspect it each year and maybe vacuum or blow it through with an air line, or just replace it when dirty / damp.

It is very normal if it is a DSG and it is going into Coasting Mode so D6 would become D and the rpm would show at 1,000 It has disengaged from gear untill you touch the accelerator or brake pedal or there is a load on the engine. EDIT Or as @unclerichysays in your case 'E' not 'D'

Welcome. ? Have you read the full project on here before Darkside got the car? http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/243854-citigo-go-a-go-with-more-go Page 15 might help for a place to jump to.

No idea on your car sorry. Hopefully someone can help. This section has so many threads from about 2010 on about UK cars / Face Lift ones. search Briskoda Fabia Mk2 Pulling left. (Never seen any Pulling Right threads.) In the UK when the cars were almost new and fitted with 205/40 R17 it was common that the Right Hand Drive cars pulled left. Dealerships messed around often many times and Skoda / VW's answer under warranty was to replace the Continentals & Dunlops with Pirelli Zero Neros which disguised the issue. People had the front realigned and messed about with but as it was the issue was how the had been built at the factory. Run out stripes were sometimes the issue, as in the tyres were fitted wrong as a pair. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/394020-skoda-fabia-vrsmonte-driftpull-to-the-left http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/425398-fabia-ii-2014-wanders-to-the-nearside

It means that the Dealership were maybe at it. As often they are. As long as the car is not a Plug in Hybrid which needs to be on Fixed Oil Changes it left the factory with 24 months / 18,000-20,000 miles before the first Service / Oil & Filter change. PS Your car left the Factory with VW 508 00 / 509 00 so that is 0w 20 FS IV. Long Life oil. The recommended oil for your age of TDI. At the Service that is Skoda's recommended oil, not the previous VW504 00 / 507 00 which is 5w 30 FS III http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/434686-mk3-service-interval http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/472919-service-intervals

Muppets of Traffic Wardens in Perth at Mill Street Park & Display might notice a Green Flash on a Reg Plate, and look to see if the car is an EV so can be on a Charger without paying for Car Parking. But then if they can not spot a Blue Badge maybe not. One advantage of the Green Flash is to other drivers that best be aware they might turn without indicating. It is getting rather hairy as some types that maybe never drove for years or are new to it now have EV's.

???? Did Skoda UK have a Warranty Claim made with them, or did the Dealers Master Tech decline to support it was a Warranty matter? Skoda UK & Skoda CZ need to be involved not just a Tech or Warranty Manager at a Branch. The part will need examined to see if there is a Design, Manufacturing or Material Fundamental Fault. The Warranty T&C's are really rather helpful if read. Skoda might have an issue that VOSA / DfT need made aware of, and something Skoda / VW will need a TPI on for Technicians to check.

@JBD1974 Costco was doing 99 ron before going to 97 ron. Maybe because it was Greenergy that had been supplying them then that changed. Sainsbury's Superunleaded 97 Ron min as well. ESSO, Ethanol or not in the E5 99 Octane?, location location location dependent, or what might be brought in from Continental Europe or Globally.

@JBD1974 Where do you find anyone selling 98 ron in the UK?, it is 97 Ron Min or 99 ron Min at Tesco, Shell, Esso, nobody has 98 ron on pumps since BP went to 97 & Shell to 99. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/496871-vrs-245-measured-at-98-or-95-ron http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/496251-bio-effect-on-fuel-economy

@gregthepirate Did you ask the dealership that supplied the car to change the car from Flexible / Variable service to Fixed Servicing or was the car Pre Reg / Ex Demonstrator?

Yes. 2015 and Euro 5 was the first scandal breaking and the Implausible C0 2 was euro 6 which was discovered end 2015 into 2016. Well the Independent Testing had already found it. Implausible covers both instances as testing was cheated but VW group claimed not so. Euro 6 cars that had false figures were withdrawn / bought back or the emission figures revised. It all got lost in the Scandal over Defeat Devices. Only Skoda not involved in the Euro 6 incidents.

Threads on the subject are in the General Automotive chat section. Maybe this can go there as well. Updated articles in motoring media 7 years after first published are to be taken with a pinch of sodium in the fuel. Haymarket media group owned by Lord Michael Heseltine that own What Car and Autocar also own the Business that does the testing. Lord Heseltine worked for Call me Dave on Trade and Industry and the Motor Industry he even brokered the deal where VW acquired Bentley when that happened. (1998). So an insider. A party with interests. Haymarket Media Group do work for VW like new car launches. They even knew about the Implausible emission figures before the VW defeat device scandal broke. They even worked for the UK Government. Transport or Environment Ministers never listen.

This is the perfect place to get info from drivers of a Skoda with a DQ250 DSG. ? Who has one that moves off in D2 when you select D and not D1. Or S1 if you select S ? Include DQ380 / 381,s in that.

Was that a drug dealer or someone at a Skoda Dealership like on the Service Desk & not the actual boss ? Is that the pads? In the UK they will often say 80% worn when not even 20% worn. Not uncommon that the discs are more in need of changing rather than the pads as Skoda fit ones made of chocolate, or in the UK they go the same colour with corrosion even after washing the car. They lie sadly,so people can not trust their garage, they try to up-sell, so maybe get the brakes inspected if you can not do it, and if they can not be trusted be sure to tell the Dealer Principal at the dealership they are conning you.

@LuckypantsYou got your car just as the plates were starting to be used did you not? Not all dealers that makeup their own plates had the new ones available. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/481755-green-registration-plates-are-coming-for-evs-in-the-uk http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/455372-uk-green-registration-plates-to-lead-the-world-in-green-transport When the UK leads the world in anything you can be sure that it will be very slow in doing it and in the details.

You can SKODA CZ. I found him easily on Linkedin and could message him. You know his name and his job title, address it to him at Skoda CZ. They will know who you mean. Skoda UK is the Importer.They are your Customer Services & the Warranty Provider. Skoda CZ are not caring a monkeys about UK problems, they are not that stupid to not know what they are.

c..o VW Group Germany / Skoda. skoda-auto.cz ? Which country are you in because if the UK Rod McLeod is the Brand Director who will have a PA respond telling you a Resolution Manager will be in touch.
