Hi, Our Skoda Rapid Ambition 1.6 TDI, bought in FEB 2012, recently had an issue of a blinking "Emission and coil" indicator, in between a drive. When it was taken to the JMD Skoda service station, they diagnosed and the issue seems to be with Fuel injection system. The initial reason seems to be fuel adulteration, but as all car owners, we fill it from the PSU outlets like Bharat Petroleum, HP etc, so we are wondering about the reliability of a Skoda ignition system to be faulty in four years. The Skoda service guys also informed us the cost of 1 such fuel injectors as Rs.25000/- and since it is outside our warranty, we may have to bear a part of its cost. After a detailed research, we found that there were many vehicles in the same service station with the same problem over the last couple of months, which definitely raises a question on the reliability of a world class automobile manufacturer. This is after a paid service in July 2016, with a thorough checkup done on the car, with all service needs requested by the Service team, for an amount close to Rs.22000. Having said this, we sincerely hope that your technical team will diagnose the issue in detail and let us know the best way forward. From the financial perspective, we believe that Skoda India will bear the maximum cost, for its unreliability in this case, and value your esteemed customers. Thanks, Deven Oberoi.
