Skiddersvrs

I was also advised that the service interval is 75,000 miles not 130,000 as previously thought.

Year of registration 2016 Engine 2.0 tdi cr vrs Mileage when fault occurred 42000 Dealer name & response (i.e. "don't want to know"/"yep, they all do that"/other) Sinclair Skoda want £90 to diagnose the fault, Skoda UK are quoting Procedure to try and fob me off. Warranty or goodwill contribution? None offered unless diagnosed by Skoda authorised sealer. Any other info. (Full Skoda service history/independent?) Full Skoda history, 6 weeks outside of warranty. Has anyone been refused goodwill and taken court action?

I've since looked again at the damage and thankfully it's all on the removable lower section and is only costing £115 fitted at my local body-shop.

Her in doors has managed to give the rear bumper a good knock against a stone wall right in the center, I am off to my local body-shop to see what the damage to my wallet will be! Can anyone recommend where to get a replacement that is original and not at main dealer prices? Thnaks

I am looking at having a tow bar fitted to my 2016 4x4 Vrs Estate, I have contacted the main dealer for a quote, an eye popping £900. Can anybody recommend somewhere that will do a good job, not void the warranty, at a reasonable cost in Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire or Swansea areas.

I can't imagine that there is anything that would be damaged or effected by adding them. Think that I will just plod on and get them done locally. Car gets delivered on Friday, can't wait.

Just purchased a Vrs 4x4 Estate and was hoping to fit rear mud flaps. The dealer has said that due to the 4x4 Skoda have said they will not fit them! Is there any reason it will effect the 4x4? Will be purchasing form superskoda. Thanks in advance

I've just bought the 4 x 4 Vrs estate and the parts department are saying Skoda will not let them fit the rears due to the 4 x 4? Is there an issue there is it still only ride height? Would rather spend £15 then have to repair the bumper due to chips etc.

The car was in for a service a few weeks ago, will ensure that they check the connection and reset with VCDS first. Many thanks

I noticed over the weekend that the headlights on my car are not working as they should, when I turn on the ignition/engine they normally do a dance, in out and up and down, however the passenger side is not going up and down. It has also turned an almost sunset orange/red. The car is into the local main dealer on Tuesday to have the problem looked into. Any info prior to arriving with the care would be much appreciated as they have so far been pretty useless with fault finding on other issues. Many thanks

I have now received a goodwill gesture from Skoda, decided that a Columbus upgrade would be taking the mickey. They offered a free service, declined on the basis that Skoda would not follow there own service schedule. I stated that it has a retail value of £200 - £250, the guy on the phone then promptly told me that was not the value to them! He offered £50, I eventually got he to £125. He also stated that cars are expected to breakdown during the warranty period!! If I had had that information in January I would have gone elsewhere to buy a car. I can honestly say this is the last time I will be buying from the VAG range of brands, seems standards have been allowed to slip.

The car is 3 years old, bought in January this year, less than 25,000 miles (now), full main dealer history, not that means much as they don't follow there own service schedule!! They had the car for a week sorting out the DMF issues, mainly because they couldn't decide which warranty they were trying to claim from. I called both and the next day all work was authorised under the manufacturers warranty. it is a shame as I had a 52 plate Toledo before, did 80,000 plus miles with no problems, wish I had not changed now.

I made a complaint to Skoda UK yesterday regarding a few faults with my car. Long story short; DMF, Clutch, Non-start (on my wedding anniversary), A/C Compressor failure (over 3 month wait for part). I am expecting a call back by Friday, any suggestions of how much or what to request as they have asked my what I would deem acceptable to settle this! I was thinking a free service, some vouchers for accessories and possibly an upgrade of the existing Bolero to a Columbus unit. Ideas ASAP please all and thanks

Competition now appears to be closed even though there is not date on the letter that was sent out!!

Update from the garage this afternoon, they have replaced the gearbox mount, clutch and dmf. They are road testing it tomorrow, fingers crossed it will be ready by early afternoon!

Seems only fair to give them a chance. I called Car Care Plan how run the Approved Used Warranty and they are not dealing with it! I then called Skoda UK and surprise surprise they had no record of the warranty claim either. After 30 mins of waiting for a call back I was called by the dealer to be told that all parts have been ordered and that they will try and get the clutch done under warranty as well. Amazing what a little time on the phone will do! Now to wait and see what happens tomorrow.

Would anyone know if this would fall under the sale of goods act, i.e. not fit for purpose or can I quote them Motor Industry Codes of Practice, try and scare them into sorting the car or issuing a full refund, or are the codes not worth the paper that they are printed on?

The dealer found no fault using the diagnostics and said that was all they could do!!

I purchased my Octavia VRS 170CR 5 months ago and have had a couple of problems with it in that time. The first problem was it would not start. I called the AA and they suggested that it may be an injector fault (fuel pressure built but would not start) and could not start the car. I then called the RAC via Skoda assistance and they thought it may be a turbo fault. Car was recovered to my local main dealer (Fred Rees) and they could not find a fault. It has now developed a fault of a lumpy/jerky tick over, they have had the car again since last Friday (inside new car warranty period). They have diagnosed two possible faults, worn/knackered gearbox mount and DMF fault along with the clutch slipping(three years old and less than 20,000 miles). They have now said that the Approved Skoda warranty is covering the repairs but are only going to authorise the replacement of the gearbox mount at the moment. With the above problems occurring I am extremely concerned that bigger issues may be in the offing (and massive bills) and that I may have managed to get a bad car. Any help with this matter would be very much appreciated.

Managed to get a set of 4 Mitchelin PS3 to replace the Barum rubbish that were on there, now much better in the wet. Overall has worked out with me in pocket!

My 2010 Octavia VRS is in the garage for this exact same fault. Have been told that a new DMF is needed and that the cluctch is slipping. Thankfully the DMF is covered by the manufacturers warranty. Have been informed that the clutch is not covered by the warranty! Question for those that are more technically gifted that me (includes most 5 year old's) Does the clutch have to be replaced at the same time as the DMF? I only ask as some pictures (plus text) on here have mentioned uprated clutches going in at the same time as Flywheels. Many thanks all

My 2010 Vrs 170 CR failed to start after being sat for 4 hours. I had driven 100 miles that morning with no problems. AA seem to think that it is a injection fault as the fuel pressure is building but the engine was just turning over, he sprayed some fuel in the engine via a cover he removed and the engine spluttered but failed to start. Skoda Assistance (RAC) came out and the engine would only splutter again, this guy thought that it may be a seal gone on the turbo as it has used most of the oil in less than 3000 miles. The car was towed to my nearest dealer and is now running fine. Any suggestions of things to have checked much appreciated as the main warranty expires in 5 weeks then it switches to an Approved Skoda warranty. Many thanks

Finally managed to get a payout from the insurance, made a third party claim direct ended up with ££££

The car in front ended up backwards/sideways over both lanes, I swerved to avoid the oncoming car in the wrong lane and to avoid the car that abruptly stopped in a far shorter distance than would be expected of any breaking distance.
