In their own words
Skoda Superb? or Not So Superb! Yes this is my Skoda Superb Brake Disc this Model Purchased 04/01/2016 Mileage July 2017 ONLY 8566 MILES AND ONLY 18 MONTHS OLD Purchase price £24,000 DEALERSHIP SIMPSONS SKODA PRESTON LANCASHIRE ENGLAND. Today THE BRAKES DISCS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALSO BRAKE PADS HAVE DETERIORATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO WARRANTY CLAIM POSSIBLE ON BRAKES PARTS AFTER SIX THOUSAND MILES OR SIX MONTHS SKODA DEALERS ADVISE ME. THE QUOTED COST OF REPLACEMENT IS £650. NO COURTESY CAR AVAILABLE 5 WEEKS. the shiny hardened surface has splintered and parts all around this discs have fallen off. It's Not just surface Rust it is deep into the metal disc. Skoda Customer Care UK do not want to get involved passing me back to dealer. Dealer says "you must take complaint up with Skoda UK". The reason for the corrosion the Skoda dealer gives me is ......... "OUTSIDE INFLUENCES"" when asked what's this means "They Say the Weather" Because I live by the coast ( Not on the Coast) the salt air will lie on the discs and if you don't use the vehicle everyday the salt will ingress into the metal. That makes them disintegrate QUICKLY and corrosion OF THE DISC AND PADS takes place. So you could not go on holiday and leave your car outside in the elements. THERE ARE OTHER REPORTED CASES OF THIS Type of DETERIORATION ON A WEBSITE CALLED "BRISKODA " WITH EVEN LESS MILEAGE THAN MY CAR. Please do not buy a New Skoda if you live near the coast and can't drive it everyday,unless you are prepared to spend about £650 every 18 months. The quality of metal on these discs in my opinion on Skoda vehicles, is Not Fit For Purpose.I have purchased a NEW Car every 2 to 3 years for the Past 50 years all makes and NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A BRAKE DISC BEFORE .,,,MY FIRST AND LAST SKODA.
