Skoda Octavia 1.2 TSI BUSINESS 2years old and 2 months ( did you notice just 2 months after factory warranty) , 42.000km - ENGINE NEEDS REPLACMENT , the **** part is i missed the 30k official service so now my warranty is gone and the service shop want to screw me over for the entire engine replacment aprox 3500€.
15k for a car that BREAKS DOWN AFTER 2 YEARS.
I SPOKE TO SOME FRIENDS IN THE AUTOMOTO BUSINESS (proffesional drivers and mechanics that can dissaseble a race car practicaly blindfolded) AND THEY ALL SAID THERE IS NO CHANCE IN HELL THAT A MOTOR CAN BREAK DOWN EVEN IF RUNNING FOR 50k km WITH NO OIL CHANGE AS LONG AS THE OIL LEVEL IS OK.
CONSIDERING THEY WANT TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE ENGINE, I GUESS ITS ALL BAD (every single component) I DONT THINK SO , I THINK THE WANT TO SCREW ME OVER AND SELL OFF THE GOOD PARTS, BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY THINK I WILL LEAVE THE OLD ENGINE WITH THEM. (I SAY F... YOU)
Meanwhile i did some research : http://www.briskoda....tavia-and-yeti/
AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED , THE CAR DURING DRIVING SUDDENLY LOST PRESSURE AND WENT TO FAIL SAFE MODE (mx 800-1200rpm) AND THE SHOP CLAIMS (funny they only talk to me over the phone , nothing written no emails...) THAT 24W6 IS NOT RELATED TO THE FAULT THAT LEAD MY SKODA TO THE POINT OF THE ENGINE NOT HAVING PREASURE.
AND THE FUNNY THING IS THAT THIS 24W6 IS BY FACTORY INFO NOT MANDATORY SO THE SERVICE SHOP DID NOT CALL OR EMAIL ME TO COME IN FOR THE FIXUP.
ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION EXCEPT LEGAL COMPLICATIONS OF COURSE.
PS: SKODA SIMPLY CRAP
PS2: MY PREVIOUS OCTAVIA 1997 HAD 250k on her AND IN 4,5 YEARS NOT A SINGLE FAULT.
