Skoda Diesel problem ? - Petel
Can anyone please advise if there is an ongoing problem with the latest ( this one is 06 ) Skoda Diesel cars, which would cause the engine to stop without warning and then have to be restarted? Car is still under dealer warranty but dealer claims there is no problem. Car is a disabled taxi and its being out of order is causing major problems.
Any input much appreciated.
Thank you.

Can you give details of the model involved? There have been cases of blocked particulate filters on models with the 4 cyl PD engine installed lengthwise. VAG have not been helpful in these cases, it seems.

659.
