Hi there basically I have a 55 Plate Skoda Fabia VRS and the paint is flaking off, so Iam trying to find out where I stand with Skoda as I only recently bought the car and iam not the orginal owner. And also Skoda themselves are usless and ive tried one garage so far and they aint interested and basically told me to **** off. So bad times.

Please somone help.

Thanks

Hello,

Sorry to hear about your paint problem, but I had a similar flaking paint problem after about 6 months on the front nearside bottom moulding where it met the upper moulding,

Luckily I think, it was still under the manufacturers warranty and had it resprayed 'No Charge'. Skoda do say 10 year paint guarantee, but not clear how to claim. !!! :rotz::thumbdwn:

Mr Ben - I suggest you really need to upload some pictures to allow any meaningful response.

Have you contacted Skoda UK regarding the problem?

after recently having a claim rejected by Skoda UK for water getting beneath the lacquer on my spoiler, the paintwork warranty is for 3 years. The cars then have a 10 year anti-corrosion warranty, which is for rust etc.

I would guess that as a 55 plate vRS, it would be out of the 3 year warranty period.

I am having to get my spoiler done myself...at a cost of £150

£150 just to do the spoiler sounds excessive, whose quoted you that ?
