2000 Skoda Fabia Classic review from Caribbean

Steering wheel has on-off work.

Stop sensor (EPIC) has lit 3 times and I have changed it 3 times.

AC bad odor: had to replace the AC filter under the dashboard, the source is fungus that grows in the fiber of the filter. The problem presented again so I just got rid of the filter. I have a friend with a 2005 Audi A4 turbo and he has the same problem.

Right windshield (failure in mechanism, does not go up or down).

Left windshield: 2 times I have had to change the elevation mechanism. I have a friend with a Jetta and another with a VW New Beetle and they have had the same problem.

Water pump: replaced because of leakage.

Coolant temperature sensor: replaced 1 time due to malfunction.

Door seals: Water leakage in the rain, replaced too.

Antenna: breakage due to the cheap plastic base. Had it replaced too.

Air Conditioning: Now only works whenever it decides to.

These are all the things that I have had to face just because one day a company decided to launch a beautiful, but unreliable car to the market without having quality components to support the product.

I will never buy a Skoda or VW car in my life, their service is just awful and expensive. And as if they were laughing at every costumer, they tend to repeat the same malfunction over and over in all models every year.

Take note of all the things that have happened to me and consider this before thinking that you are buying a cheap VW/Audi car, because cheap is not what you are going to face after you have to go over and over to repair its many problems.

Now I will just sell it and let someone else take care of this piece of _ _ _ _.
