well, after after my Octavia has just put a rod thru on its 2nd bxe engine I am throwing in the towel and going back to ford. my last mondeo did me proud into its 200k's and I only went skoda cos everyone said how amazing they were. I have no doubt that there will will be lots of u out there screaming at me and saying that you've had numerous skodas and they've all done 300k plus and im sure that to every bad 1 theres half a dozen good ones but I can only speak as I find and after a clutch and flywheel, a throttle body,a water pump, 2 engines and piles of turbo problems all within 80k, I give up and have to say that for me skoda has been the biggest nightmare of my life. I should have listened to the people who wrote about the bad batch of bxe engines as it appears to be true as both engines have chucked a rod out on no 4 and both around 70/80k. I CANT HELP THINKING THAT SOMEONE MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT and for those of u who are wondering, I never pushed the car and it was serviced religiously every 10k with genuine vw filters and genuine oil so that said, there wasn't much more I could have done. still, on the bright side , the tax man wont be seeing much from me having spent more on this wonder of german engineering than ive made. happy motoring to all u skoda owners out there and pray u don't have the same problems as me and, BXE OWNERS BEWARE . LONG LIVE THE MONDEO |

I think most Fords win due to price and availability of parts, repair times and the vast knowledge base on things like talkford, also the better chances with DIY repairs |
