My god you're an accident waiting to happen, I have this little motor and it's brill have you been red lining it? Please don't tell us it's broken again!!

Never been even close to redlining it, why would i buy a Deisel then try to redline it.

Broke down on M62 going downhill at about 75 mph, massive bang, i mean massive i shat myself, followed by a loud whistling noise then rapid maching gun fire noise, dropped the clutch and onto hard shoulder for breakdown guy to come.

I actually made it onto slip road of the exit i was coming off at, breakdown not happy to work on it there so towed home, initial inspection found a broken turbo boost pipe and missing mounts for turbo and associated pipe.(re read thread to see i have already had 2 brand new turbos fitted so they should know about mounting it properly)

Towed into dealers next day who confirmed missing mount/mounts which caused the turbo and pipe to come free, this was Monday, was told part on order and will be fitted tuesday, said i needed car for Wednesday evening as i was going to Devon for a fortnight on Thursday morning, promised it would be done Tuesday.

Tuesday came, no car, Wednesday dinner i called only to be told they were busy with customers and could i call back, i called back, same old rubbish, i called again and was told someone would deffo ring within 15 minutes, 2 hours later no call and no messages left anywhere about all my calls or my prediciment, i rang again and was eventually told wrong fecking pipe and mount ordered and they had to send a photo of the underside of the car!!!!!!!!!!! so they could see what to send, as the part was missing ive no idea how a photo would help.

Apologies about the situation all round, however the guy i spoke to wasnt aware about my Holiday plans for the following day and wasnt even aware of who i was or why i was calling in the first place, someone just put the call through to him to deal with, mass panic ensued as they tried to get me a car from group stock, they said i could have a petrol for 2 days, i said i wanted a deisel for 15 days, the length of my holiday in Devon, in the end they had to come pick me up and give me the sales assistant managers Fabia Deisel estate.

Breakdown guy also filled in on the check sheet that dealers also need to check the integrity of the engine as the whole unit was very unstable in the engine bay and could easily be shaken about.

Absolute bunch of second rate muppets

Shocking service, so turbo was not fixed properly and the engine is loose on it's mounts, I would sue the @rrse of them! But the 75mph was on a private road right ;) , this level of service is awful but very much becoming the norm, come on skoda get your finger out. The amounts of customers being lost just because of terrible servicing and aftercare is shocking, hopefully they will sort your car out quickly but does not give me confidence

But the 75mph was on a private road right ;)

Indicated speed not actual speed. ;)

Sounds a shambles to be honest. Hope Skoda UK sort this out for you as the dealer sounds like a muppet
