Hi All. I am new to the forum. I have a 66 plate 1.4 petrol Octavia and at the weekend I was told that I have petrol leaking from the injector rail. One bolt has shear off and another is loose. Any advise on if I should try and contact Skoda UK? The car is currently with an independent garage, due to travel distance and cost. Any advise welcome. The used warranty ran out in May. 

Although it seems to be a different engine, you might want to look at this post from the Fabia III section.

 

Different engine but same problem.

 

 

My 2016 yeti tsi 110 has the same issue at 25000 miles. Just cost me £760!

I've just had exactly the same problem, and the same pattern of breakage - I've posted about it today under the title:

 

Major Fuel Leak - Due to bolts shearing on the fuel injector rail assembly

 

Forum member 'Wino' just replied, and showed me how to search previous threads for key words in speech marks, and so I was led to yours.

I'm disturbed by how common this issues seems to be.

 

How long before someone's Skoda becomes a Chariot of Fire?

I lost 1/8th of tank of fuel.

Thankfully, we're in a wet spell in London - In hot, dry conditions, things might have turned out differently.

 

I was lucky it happened locally, an had my annual service/MOT booked the next day - My mechanic is great, and the total bill came to £350.

But I intend to get the parts refunded by Skoda/VW if I can.

Any luck with getting money back from Skoda

 

Hi,
This just happened to my Nov. 2018 Skoda Kodiaq 1.4TSI after 90.000km, rather late compared to most cases I read about. No recall on my engine. Loose fuel ramp, destroyed gasket seal to injector. Fortunately my local mechanic here is Spain only charged me 2,5hrs or 124€. I was very happy after reading prices ranging from 400-600 to 1000€ like the previous post.
