Well i spoke to the tech guys, and they cant do anything.

They said its all politics higher up in the food chain. They agreed with everything i said. Basically skoda wants to be treated as a seperate entity. Yet they use VW in their advertising hmm . . .

They agree that the skoda should also get the clip under warranty but skoda wont warrant it. I think they'd rather the turbo be replaced at the turbo manufacturers cost rather then skoda paying up 90bucks a clip.

In the end it comes down to customer satisfaction, and it clearly isnt there in this matter, I expressed that there is alot of customers who are tired of being mistreated and that this will drive them to different manufaturers. They agree.

Hopefully the people further up eventually do something. Sad really
