I know we have some petrol heads here that know their stuff.
Had a brand new Skoda Octavia Estate delivered July 2019. February 2020 engine light comes on, peeing out oil, take it to the dealers and the turbo had ceased so a new turbo under warranty. Few days after a regular oil check and it’s down to half way. Call to dealers and closed due to lockdown, got it ourselves and they refunded it.
Then it’s first service July 2020, that was on around 4,500 miles on the clock.
Couple of weeks ago 2021, engine light comes on 7,200 miles on the clock. Back to dealers, and another turbo fail so replaced again under warranty. Same thing again after only being back five days oil half way on the dipstick, total miles 7390 !
Dealers are saying that they don’t change or top up oil on a turbo change ? Is that right ?
So we are now raising a complaint t again with Skoda U.K.
