Frequent Gear Box Failures

Fact is that in a span of 6 months the vehicle's clutch and gear box has broken down twice which reflects that either its faulty workmanship or the parts used had manufacturing defects. From the problems seen and reported by various clients, all point to the fact that the parts are faulty. Its morally unethical on the part of Skoda to demand half a lac from the clients every 4 to 6 months for this.

As regards fuel consumption, thats the only plus point that this vehicle has that too only the diesel version which is in though already in government cross hairs and expected to be banned in the near future.

Its upto the new clients to keep in mind that this is an inherent problem and needs to be fixed by Skoda before anyone thinks of purchasing Skoda Octavia in 2017, lest the Gear Box assembly is fixed by Skoda manufacturers. Till such time extreme precaution in deciding to purchase should be taken.

The customer service is not upto the mark. They commit something and then do not deliver on it and then argue to prove themselves as correct and can go to any extent to prove themselves right.
