Hi,
My 2008 1.9 L Diesel Octavia Rider has been sparingly used - 35K kms done in 9 years.
All of a sudden, on a drive in Bangalore, it spluttered with heavy emission of white fumes, & engine vibration & noise. The car had no previous history of these symptoms. (Previously, it has driven smoothly & powerfully with the only minor issues being need to change brake pad, oils etc).
Now doing it's time in a Service station, the suspicion around faulty fuel injector, to issues around the engine are being investigated.
Another issue encountered is rodent biting through wires in the bonnet - that has been a recurring issue - this has led to electricals - A/c, indicators not working as a result.
Can anyone help with their similar experience with Skoda Octavia & how they resolved this issue. Who is the best mechanic to help in this situation.
Overall, the Skoda ASS seem inconsiderate - when it comes to trying to resolve this issue methodically & efficiently - they're money minded & want to maximise their bom estimate.
Thanks,
Vivek.
