Evening.

 

More of a rant than a post, apologies.

 

My drivers window cable has snapped again, within 2 years of a new door card being fitted.

 

It was not cold this time as I learnt my lesson two winters ago in very cold conditions.

 

Skoda said they only have a year warranty, really gutted that I have to spend a lot of money on the same part yet again. 

 

A very shoddy part made by VW or a usual good money spinner. 

 

I am fitting this one myself to save two hours labour charge at £75 plus vat ph. 

 

Am hoping they used screws after they took the speaker rivets out. 

 

I will wait until it's a bit warmer though! 

 

 

Isn’t it 2 years parts and labour warranty on everything at Skoda? 

According to one Skoda dealer yes. Another no, as I did not have the work done by a Skoda mechanic.

 

My local indy bought it from Skoda on the 9th December ready for my fitting in the 21st 2022.

 

So they based it on the 9th, it broke on the 12th, last week. So out of warranty.

 

Am pleading my case to my mechanic but can't push too hard as we don't have a great deal of choice of trusted garages up here!

 

We shall see.
