Skoda India — skoda rapid, fuel injector problem, high cost of maintenance

Vehicles serviced with specific problems around preheating unit trouble and emission control unit trouble. I see two warning signages on the dashboard. Service was performed by replacing the cables. Surprisingly it costed me 5800 for replacing two cables. Never expected such costly.

After driving the car for 350km (Vacation trip) after couple of months, suddenly i see the heating element flashing on the dash board and also bit of jerk in the car while accelerating the car. Took the vehicle for emergency service, i was told fuel injector problem and replacement cost would be 24, 000 inr. Surprised, for the same problem 2 months before it was replacement of cables, now replacement of fuel injector.

I was told fuel quality could be the reason for such damages. Not sure how to check this, i take quality fuels from shell or bp only. As i see too many vehicles with such problem, skoda should do something either by quality design or maintain as part of regular maintenance.

Skoda india, maintenance cost is too expensive and most of the indian middle class will not be able to afford for such exorbitant prices. If no reduction in maintenance cost, skoda is not a preferred choise anymore for me for sure and sa. E for any indians.
