Thanks!

get on eurocarparts and get an air filter and fuel filter for less than £25 and fit them yourself.. i paid to have a fuel filter fitted to my PD and wondered why i bothered... undo 4 or 5 torx screws, lift the old filter out, slot new one in, let it soak a bit then do the torx screws up again evenly to distribute the load, job done.. air filter takes 10 mins and involves no more than 8 phillips screws!!!

 

dealers take the ****!! they really do.. and to top it all i purchased shell helix oil and filter from the same place and paid a garage £25 quid to change it... thats pretty much all of it done for less than £120 odd quid!!

The customer service manager phoned me for feedback on my visit. When I told him that I thought Skoda was getting too expensive for servicing he seemed perplexed. Their costs are now comparable to VW and Audi for similar cars but they market themselves as the value brand. I think they have lost sight of what made them the brand they are.
