My vehicle has only run for 12,000 Kms in last 8 months and it has been to workshop for running repair(Engine Misfiring and fuel starvation due to faulty fuel pump)4 times and for 19 days.


Very Very Poor after sales service and  totally indifferent attitude of Customer care officers of Skoda.


Skoda slogan that Quality Since----- is totally misleading.


Skoda people/Engineers have still not ready to accept that Fabia Petrol Version is not suitable for India and especially in hot weather. They are trying to force the customer in accepting the vehicle with these problems for the reasons best known to them.


I need comments/opinion of other users and of course a legal advise. I need my money back

    I am talking about 1.2 Classic model Petrol version. Quality of petrol is not an issue. At present about 16 cars os same model(petrol version) are lying at workshop. R & D engineers from Czec Republic are conducting trails. Why they are here? Are they doing R&D at the expense of customer?

    Deepak even one of my friend who owns a petrol fabia is facing the same problem. he has got his fuel pump cleaned by up thrice but all in vain. He is now so pissed off from skoda's service n lateback attitude dat he is planning to sell of his car for Honda Jazz.

    Dear Freind, I do not advise him to sell.He should fight for his consumer reight.It is the problem of fuel pump poor design. Fuel pump cleaning is all eye wash and skoda people are gaining time. Fuel pump of my car has been changed, but no solution.
