For this very same reason, I persuaded my uncle for not going for a skoda. Surprisingly, I have never heard such issues in Maruti or Mahindras. He was going for skoda Kodiaq, and after repeated persuasuions, I did convince him to go for XUV 700. He has never been more happier. Not only XUV 700 is a 7 seater, but it's also more reliable that these skodas.
Bullshit . It's better than maruthi , Hyundai and Mahindra you must be stupid . It's the only car that has good rating .I think you are not upto skoda level .
Hi @Machine and Mechanism I'm planning to buy the Kushaq 1l Automatic Style variant, 2022 model. I'm getting a good discount on the previous year model (on road 19.7 Bangalore). But after going through a lot of forums and videos about various issues, I'm just afraid whether it'll be a good decision to go for Kushaq or something else. Do you recommend going with this as I'm getting a really good deal. I would really appreciate your reply.
Thanks for the response 🙂. I have booked this variant after doing the PDI in their stock yard. My only concern here is Skoda is now giving wired android auto which seems to be a miss. It has become a very integral part in driving nowadays. Do you recommend any aftermarket alternative to use android auto wirelessly.
Yes sadly yesterday while coming back from shimla(2nd dec 2023) i had similar issue, could not drive it for even 10 meters. Once i spoke to the service centre i was given similar instruction to wait for 10 minutes and start again, i did it and luckily the vehicle had no issues coming back till chandigarh. As per the diagnostics it was clear the issue is from fuel gauge and since i was suppose to come back to delhi on the same day i have been told to bring it back and give it to the service centre! Tomorrow i would be going to rectify it hoping they wont charge unnecessarily
This is why cancelled kushaq..Reliability is main issue even it is well built and powerful engine.. Planning to buy XuV 300 or waiting for new Honda suv to come
You're correct technically the changed Fuel pump doesnt comply to BS6. Secondly the Mercs and BMW users by default will be going for Octane--95 or plus. The Ferrari and Bentleys go for 100+ which is double the cost of normal Petrol.
Started getting this warning recently in kushaq 1.0 manual. May 2022 build car. Had to fuel it with normal petrol as xp95 was not there in petrol pump. Nd after that issue started coming.
Sir this is not a petrol issue. I had a word with the sc manager for atleast 1 hour And no company claims that you should only fill xp95 they only recommend to get better mileage. I personally not even a single time filled it with xp 95. Because that's not necessary
This is interesting cause I got my 2022 Skoda Kamiq 3 weeks ago now have 954km on the dashboard. I generally use 95. But I went to a gas pump that only had 98 available and I put the 98 because I mean it’s still gasoline, I was driving far and needed gas. 10 minutes after putting the gas, car started limping, and then a sound started coming from the engine bay. The famous EPC error appeared and then the engine light illuminated. Still waiting on the mechanic to sort it out and explain why would 98 fuel trigger an EPC error.
Got delay in service from SKODA WORKSHOP at Nasik,Moharir Skoda, Car is in workshop from 15 Feb 2023 to till now, almost 60 days will complete, Till now Work is not completed. Getting reasons from workshop like Getting delay for parts not available. I am very frustrated with service from workshop.

We are living in India and not everywhere, everytime this high octane petrol will be available, why only this car is having craving for high octane petrol and all other cars don't have such an issue
Actually 95 octane is available it's the person who doesn't know how to operate a car like skoda .
