Hello all,
3 days ago i picked up my Shiny new Skoda Fabia diesel 1.6 (105 BhP) - 8 months after ordering.
On day 2 i noticed that when the engine was warm and under a little load (ie accelerating or going uphill) a knocking/rattle started. this would go away if the accelerator was released. It sounded like a bad bearing or some metal to metal contact somewhere.
I have taken it back to the dealer this morning (~75 hours after original delivery) and they have had it all day. their response was:
We (skoda and the dealership) do not acknoledge this is a fault
We (the dealership) have heard this before
We (skoda and the dealership) have no idea what causes it
It is perfectly safe to drive and should have no effect on the engine.
My response was:
I am not taking this back with this rattle.
How can you know what effect it will have if you don't know what it is?
So does anyone have any advice for how to deal with this or even what it could be?!
Many thanks for any help!
Ben
