2002 Skoda Fabia Classic review from UK and Ireland
"Not as great as I originally thought"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Going down through the gears is still not very smooth despite having driven the car for 6000 miles; in particular going into 1st gear is generally a problem; no longer attempt 4th to 2nd as I end up stuck in the middle of a road!
Recently, the engine management light has come on and the dealer has said that it is due to the lambda probe.
General comments?
Very annoyed that I am having to bring the car back to have a part replaced so soon after buying it; the point of buying a brand new car was to avoid having to do this sort of thing for a few years at least!
Dealer service has been pitiful.
