Skoda India — faulty fuel injectors

Address:

400210

I own a skoda rapid 1.6 tdi 2012, skoda the brand personally very fond of it, love driving the car. Since last 2 months my opinions have changed, my car had a blinking coil on and check engine sign on, towed the car to skoda service centre, the next day got mixed feedback, the entire fuel system has failed by their representative would cost more than 1lakh, spoke to mechanic he said he can fix under the table if i pay him rs 60, 000/- on inquiring he said the all 4 fuel injectors are damaged. I was worried as how could you trust these guys. My concern was where do you go now, i have read online about the fuel injectors issues in rapid and feel that the service centres are taking advantages of this problem, being such a massive company why don't they take responsibility of their faulty injectors and provide replacement. I lived overseas for awhile and noticed that if this was the issue they would have replaced the faulty part as a goodwill gesture. So skoda offer no goodwill in india or are they less bothered about indian customers, its really a shame. We put our trust in these company and in return all we get is massive disappointment. I changed 2 fuel injectors from a local garage but the problem still persists. I was travelling with my family and on our way back on expressway pune the car suddenly stopped in mid highway, i am very disappointed with skoda rapid. It would have cost myself and my family lives. Their service centres are well aware of the fuel injector issues and are clearly robbing people.
I always praised my rapid but won't advise anyone to buy this car as it is not reliable.
