Hi, my skoda rapid ambition 1.6 tdi, bought in dec 2012, recently had an issue of a blinking "emission and coil" indicator, in between a drive. When it was taken to the service station krishna automobile in chandigarh, they diagnosed and the issue seems to be with fuel injectors. The service station has informed us that the cost of 1 such fuel injector as rs.24000/- and since it is outside our warranty, we may have to bear the cost. After i checked online, i found that there were many vehicles with the same problem, which definitely raises a question on the reliability of skoda rapid cars.
Worst is they dont have injector and say that they will have to import it from germany and after decoding it will be fitted and process may take 10days.
Now what is the root cause and how to prevent the same failure of other injectors and if in case it happens the cost of the replacing all injectors will go above rs110, 000 which will make everyone think twice before purchasing any skoda vehicle in future.in my opinion this is a wrong design of injector for our country, which they are making us pay. Its a perfect case for a recall, but they are avoiding it. Was this information helpful? |
