Things falling apart or failing on our rides

[Ebit]

I had both of my rubber bush replaced at no charge.

My ride is only 1 year 8 months.

 

Found both rubber bush torn when replacing my tyres.

In the end they replaced the entire drive shaft......cost of replacement would have been $1K plus if not under warranty.

YOu can check with Jaffar.

you should insist, thou they will say wear and tear

Hi,

 

How long did the whole process take?

[Ebit]

Not too sure though, did it together with my servicing and replacement of the boot hinge.

The entire process took almost 6 - 7hours.

[Beanoyip]

Thanks for the info, they had parts available on site or you had to pre-order before hand?

Wha... are cars by Skoda so bad...

[Try_conti]

Not really ... just that you have quite a number of 'disgruntled' owners due to many many historical reasons ......

[XLR8]

I wouldn't use the word "BAD". I think reliability is what you are referring to I believe.

[Ninjasun]

yap... I think reliability is the word I should use.... anyway there is always a few "bad" ones amount the lots... I am driving a sunny which is also giving me alot of trouble... sign.... who say jap car are reliable....

[Ebit]

They had the drive shaft in stock and the hinge is on indent basis.

 

I have driven Toyota, Ford and now Skoda.

All of them have their fair share of issues.

As long as the AD honour the warranty, you don't have to worry about it.

 

For your info, I had my gear box gear mechanisim, engine mounting and head lamp replaced during the warranty period when I owned the Ford Mondeo then.

The door rubber seal for my 2 1/2 years OCT Tour starts falling apart, any brothers had encountered this, and what type of glue can be used to glue them back?

[Try_conti]

bro fortress has some glue that he got from Home-FIX that seems to work. Can't remember the name.......

[Fortress]

Are you selling me......

[Kongkm]

Just try the Goop adhesive for automotive, result no good because it is look like the silicon sealant!

[Fortress]

Yes, it is like the silicon sealant, just rub away the excess, it works great for me, did 3 doors and no problem with heat etc...guess, it is the way you apply it.

[Fortress]

Just came back from a frustrating matter, the car cannot start. Apparently, the fuel hose came off and have to fix it back with tie rap temporary with no lights.found out only after some 5 litres of fuel was wasted.
