I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about my car losing power and the numerous parts Skoda fitted to my car in failed attempts to fix it.

Well, I've finally gettin my car fixed after a new throttle body and temperature sensor was fitted at a cost of

i hope all is well for you now and that the problem has been sorted.

Well, time did tell. 24hrs after the work was carried out, the car has lost all power again. Since June I've spent

If its out of warranty you havent' got a leg to stand on.

But surely if the garage are replacing parts saying that this should cure the problem and it doesnt they will do something about it? This could go on and on costing more every time :( I do symapthise with your situation, hope it gets resolved soon!

I have a similar situation with the throttle body etc. on my astra - a relative works at a legal firm and got some legal advice for me. Basically unless they give you a written statement/letter saying it will fix the fault you have no grounds to ask for your money back.

what petrol are you using?? do you go to the same garage all the time??

dont know if you saw my post but i had some dodgy petrol in mine a while abck and i lost all power...how sick will you be if its the petrol and not a fault! try optimax for a week this will also help the clean out and gunk in the fuel system...

Surely, Skoda are the experts, so why shouldn't I accept their advice and allow them to repair the car as per the fault codes. I have the papers stating the fault codes from Skoda, but I have nothing in writing saying they will repair the car. But, as I have the papers with the fault codes from the diagnostics, would this list of faults not be classed as a statement from Skoda, i.e. Skoda saying if the car is worked on and parts changed as per the fault code read out, the car will be repaired. In my opinion, the reason the car hasn

Give Skoda Customer Services a call, explain your grievances and see what they offer you.....

If the work was initially carried out during the warranty period, even if the warranty is now expired surely it is still covered as it's an ongoing problem?

What has SUK got to say about all this?

Unfortunately my warranty ran out in February so this work has never been covered.
