The sheer pleasure of owning a octavia(dont not compare this car to the japanese piles of junk)

So people and my fellow skoda fans, i purchased a used octavia in 2006,the car however is a 2002 19tdi ambiente.The odo was 51k at the time of purchase,the current reading is 74k.To be very frank with u guys not once have i given the vehicle for a service at the authorised service center,its no point getting your pockets burnt out there as i know what really happens at these workshops,as i have worked for 1 of these authorised service centers in dubai.all i do is get the oil and filter replaced every 7500kms with mobil (cost 3200rs), replace the fuel filter every 15000kms(cost 1800rs) and get the air filter cleaned every 5000kms(cost free).Replace timimng belt every 50k for which i paid 4000rs with the tensioner bearing.i have taken the car around 10 times from bombay to goa with no hassels,the car after 6 years and 73k is absolutely rattle free(lets see any japanese car which can give you this).so thats it my advice to all just enjoy the car,stop cribbing about the cost thats what u have to pay for german technology
