Still have to get car working too.
Is on lease, sold after an issue with oil and overheating Pistons was identified, but not rectified pre-sale. ACCC advice is that I need to suffer repeated failures for the same issue to be able to claim a refund/replacement car.

Do the check engine light codes get stored or are they cleared once car shut off?
Missus car had rougher/jumpier than normal cold start today which was followed by engine light flashing which dissapeared after 20-30 seconds.
Also sometimes its like it doesnt come on full boost, bit like driving a 90tsi courtesy carLast edited by muli; 05-05-2016, 08:04 PM.Comment

Give Skoda Assist or your dealer - do not drive the car until checked or it will blow a piston. Then pl send me details and service report - will help the legal case.
Incidentally, the engine light is actually the input/exhaust control module - flashing on/off and rough running suggests misfiring. If the Pistons get too hot, they will burn through and blow your engine.

Do they come out to you and look at car or hows it work?
I got told the rough/jumpy start was the cats warming up by gold coast skoda, another dealer suggest that only 98 fuel should be used which was funny as part of my fault description was that 98 fuel was/is always used.
The thing is it gets worse as cars gotten olderLast edited by muli; 05-05-2016, 09:18 PM.Comment

I was advised not to drive the car and have it towed to the dealer. If your dealer doesn't know how to help, give Skoda Australia a ring and talk to the customer service manager...

More pain.
Injectors tested (car off road for 12 days) and failed. Now they want $1500 to replace.
What is it about VW/Skoda and an apparent lack of understanding about service and the meaning of 'warranty'?

Is that all four injectors? Direct injection injectors arent exactly cheapLast edited by muli; 12-05-2016, 02:19 PM.Comment

Sorry, 'DI injectors aren't exactly'. What do you mean?
I haven't seen a report yet so do not know, other than was told they are fault and need replacing - was suggested there may have been some 'bad' fuel at some stage. As far as I know, fuel quality has not been tested on any of the occasions the car went in with misfires, nor when the engine was rebuilt. Am waiting to hear...

Is the bad fuel their excuse to attempt to make you pay for the injectors under warranty.
Dealership scanned the engine light which was logged as a misfire but apparently they cant tell which cylinder it was?
Cars due for 60k service in bit over a 1000km so apparently no point playing with sparkplugs/compression testing now.
Heres a few year old video of the car sounding like a trabant

The strict advice I had from VW/Skoda Australia is that the car was not to be driven if the ECM light came on. They said : call the tow truck.
If you have an ECM issue, they must check compression - if they'd pulled the head on mine earlier, I probably would not have blown a piston...

The book says you can drive on yellow light

The advice in mine was to turn the car off and call Skoda Roadside Assist.
Yours does sound broken though...
