I've been reading through this thread, looking for the updates etc.

Just for my own sanity, this isn't a Skoda Dealership is it? The company that have done the work are an independent?

Or an Authorised Skoda repair centre?

 

It's just obviously from the thread title it's reading as "Skoda UK main dealership have completed some work, part has failed, potentially due to it not being fitted correctly - engine now damaged and they are refusing to pay out".

Couldn't quite be sure if that was misleading or not  

@Stoofa  A Skoda Dealership that is part of a large motor group that have closed the branch that did the work.

 

Hi everyone, just a quick update on the situation. The vehicle has been inspected today by a separate Skoda dealership / repair centre to the one that originally did the work. The mechanic has emailed saying the cambelt was fitted incorrectly with a bolt not being torqued or tightened properly causing it to come off. I will keep you all updated on what happens.

Oh dear.. 

 

without details, that sounds like the way people used to mess up the tensioner...

 

Hopefully the dealer you are talking to will get somewhere with Skoda U.K.

 

If not CAB or the motoring press might be a good idea.
