Skoda Rapid Engine is not reliable

Hi everyone!

I am writing from rajasthan, I baught one Skoda Rapid Deisel from jai Skoda in March 2012, I got its check up done by end of first six months and the first free service by March 2013 after completing 14000 Kms at Jai Skoda-Udaipur.

My car started giving white smoke along with vibration in engine when I put the ignition on in front of my house (I saw it when i started taking it back in the rear view mirror). Since I am a mechanical engineer I immidiately stopped the car and called Skoda road side assistance ALSO I checked at the fuel pump where I had the last fuel filling done. The filling machine only had diesel nozzle so there was no chance of filling in wrong fuel.

The road side assistance crane took the vehicle to Jai Skoda-Udaipur and now over 15 days have passed but there is no report available on the root cause of problem

I spoke with Skoda people (Sriniwas-North zone) but he in not giving me any clue on the problem. When i speak with workshop people at Jai Skoda they try to blame on Skoda company people.

I am supposed to relocate to Hyderabad on 20th June (today is 29th May) but I am pretty sure that I am not gonna get my car before 19th June so that I can drive my car to Hyderabad.

Last option left with me is to wait for couple of days and file a case in the consumer court.

Most surprising element was that Jai Skoda has a supervisor who takes the calls from customers and he used to fill fuel at a fiiling station in Udaipur before joining Jai Skoda.

if you are planning to buy a Skoda Rapid, read the reviews carefully. OR call me at 9460XXXXXX.
