Hi to all. I am based in New Zealand and have been the proud owner of a 2007 Scout for the past 6 months. Its the 140 pd engine, Code bmm. It is great and love driving it.

I will be honest and say that I stumbled on this site while searching for information on a fault that it has. I carried out a oil and filter change before xmas and drained way to much oil from the sump. As a precaution I sent the oil for testing and found out that it was contaminated by diesel.

I contacted the previous owner who reluctantly mentioned that it had been a problem under warranty but that Skoda had fixed it. He agreed to send me the warranty history that he had.

Interesting reading, briefed as follows. Injector seal kits fitted, tandem pump replaced, complete exchange long block fitted, rebuilt injectors removed and new ones fitted, last repair was another tandem pump fitted ( superceded part number) and new software installed.

I got scared. Traveled 3000kms since then and re-drained the oil. 5 ltrs from a 4 ltr sump. Same result from the Lab. Oil is contaminated by fuel.

As far as I can tell, everything has been replaced. so looking for suggestions on where to go next. Don't want to give up on the Scout as she is absolutely perfect in every other way for my driving and towing needs, Any suggestions would be welcome.

Great reading the positive feedback these vehicles get on here and look forward to your responces.

Kind Regards

Welcome from me too.

I recommend that you copy your post and start a new thread (topic) in the Octavia II forum where it should attract considerable interest and, hopefully, lead to the advice you need.

Another Skoda driver in Tauranga! Hope you get the Scout sorted, I can recommend Eurotechnic at Mt Maunganui (Portside Drive) - really knows his stuff without all the baggage you get at the local Skoda dealer (disclaimer no relationship, just a happy customer).

Cheers
