I'd love to drive my 70,000 km Kodiaq RS for another 400,000 km. when the engine inevitably ****s itself, how difficult would it be to source another one from the factory ? any other relevant advice welcomed

Given the diesel VRS was withdrawn from sale because it doesn't meet emissions regulations, I'd say the chances of Skoda selling you a brand new engine are less than nil.

 

Any Euro 5 engine car is the old emission standards and any early Euro 6 before Euro 6d was discontinued (In the EU but maybe not other World Regions) as emissions change and we get to Euro 7 in 2025 or whenever engines / vehicles prior to that need manufacturer support.

VW Group  will still be producing parts or having them produced.

 

 

So an 8 year old car gets a new engine.

As has happened since 2010 with 1.4 TSI Twinchargers, and can happen now 8 years after production of the Mk2 Fabia and others with this engine stopped.

The VW Group have a factory in Germany that refinishes / refurbishes engines and these are for global sales.

Many Warranty Replacement engines are from this source.

 

The Engine blocks are retained and rebuilt with new internals and are sold as base engines. There is no difference between a new engine and a refurbished one.

They are readily available and will continue to be long into the future.  

 

There are companies all around the world that will rebuild engines. 

 

@Yogi-BearDo you really think that the VW Group do not support owners of vehicles in World Regions that do not have the WLTP emissions as the World Harmonisation test  is not actually world wide.

They even have to supply replacement parts for vehicles that they built and sold illegally and had to withdraw from sale.

There are courts / authorities around the world that could tear them a new one.
