Looking to buy Skoda Octavia MK III - help please!
Discussion
Hi All - Looking to buy a 2013 mkIII sckoda Octavia and few questions if someone can help please.
It’s a petrol, 1.4 TSI with DSG gearbox. About 15,000 miles.
I have seen a lot of stuff on internet re issue with 7 speed dry clutch DSG on this machine. I understand there was a worldwide recall but in UK the oil was changed. I also saw that there is excessive clutch wear issue. I appreciate its my risk, but any thoughts on whether these are widespread problems and is there anything I can do to minimize the risk or avoid the issue? Is it too much of a risk? Were these problems limited to diesel engine?
Dealer is offering 2 year warranty as part of used event. My usage is low, about 5-6000 miles a year. Half in London and half on motorways. I am looking to own this car for few years to come so want to make the right decision.
any other things to look out for? Only my second car since moving to UK and last one was bought 8 years ago so would appreciate some pointers..
