took it to skoda bolton where they mest about for an hour burnt out my switch on drivers and said it was a cig burn it appened when wife was driving and burnt her coat complained to skoda uk they should have got back to me today,and they wanted £204 to strip it even though 3 techs said i had fag ash in car i will not allow smoking in my car and wife has never smoked.my garage said it was element burnt out without even stripping it for £40.can i get skoda uk to pay for seat,switch, coat, even though i didnt buy it from them and not warranted with them

Probably quicker and cheaper to go to a breakers yard, if you can’t get a replacement cover cheaply. 

There was a Skoda Service Campaign on Mk2 Fabia heated seats.

It should have been a Full DVSA Recall as a Safety Critical Issue.  Maybe Skoda never reported it as such to the DVSA.

Anyway, there is a TPI as any Main Dealerships employee can easily check for.

No guarantee any car with the Recall Action / Service campaign outstanding will appear here though.
