How F***ed am I?

Featured Replies

Just put my 2014 Octavia Elegance 1.8t at the mechanic.

Had it since 2021, 161k km now

Health report attached, how bad is it?

Had an EPC warning for over a year and everytime they said I need to leave the car for further inspection and I didn't have time, at first I thought it's just affecting the start/ stop but I noticed the car drives worse and mostly accelerates worse.

 

Coolant was always bad, it broke, they replaced it to a new one that was also broken and than they changed it again.

There is probably also a leak from somewhere along the route.

 

A/C was also a massive headache, replaced the evaporator(got 50% back from the class action) which helped but it was still inconsistent, not cool enough and sometimes just pushed neutral temp in the passenger side.

Same in winter btw, passenger side not heating.

They also said they replaced some part responsible for heating which I never heard of and forgot, it did nothing any they never charged my those 250$ so I guess they just bluffed.

 

Parallel parking - I guess that's that screwed proximity sensor in the outer front.

 

Information electronics I have no idea what that is.

 

All that without talking about the silent killer which is the clutch 😰😰
