Hi,i have 5-door kalos 1,2 8V car is year and a half old,and i have 23000km.
The first problem started around 3500km,it was hopping i went to service and they hook up diagnostic device and they started to lie that my gassoline is bad quality and so on.
I must drove like that for 3 months because they said:we cant repair anything on the car because your check engine lamp is not on??what an excuse.
So after that 3 months check engine lamp is started to light,again i came to the service and for the diagnose they tell me ites blocked EGR valve.They replaced it but just after 2 days check lamp is on again.This time i went to the other service to tell me its EGR valve again!
So they replaced it again.Now after 2 weeks from replacement check lamp again activated.
This time its not EGR valve its REAR LAMBDA SOND!!!wtf i said,i told them it must be something on that engine to not work properly.The mechanic said to me:you are not a mechanic we are,who are you to tell us whats wrong or not.So i was very angry and started to swear.They tried to keep me come.I must wait for the part 1 month,and drove defected car!
Next day i called Budimpest there they have parts and stuff,so i explained my problem and the lady on the phone said that they never heard anything about that.
Then i started to call my nacional dealer and explained my problem again,and he said he is very said about that,but he cant do anything that,service must deal with that problems.
But he did call the mechanics and told them to hurry up with the part.
I get the part in a few days,and they changed it.After 1 day my fuel pump was begin to produce noise,and my fuel meter broked down so i cant see how much fuel i have in my tank.
They replaced the whole fuel pump,after that the car was again hopping and twitch.
So i went in nearest car service in next door country,and the dude said that they now about that problems and its computer glitch.I said ok lets try that.He updated software and hopping and twitch are gone.But after 1 month my throttle begin acting weird.When i gently press the throttle the car tremble like you press full throttle,and afcourse when i press full throttle the car barely accelerates and the engine is working loud.
Sorry for the long post and my english,i dont know what to do with this car other than sold it to someone stupid.
Thanks
