The spokesman of the Czech representation of the Mladá Boleslav carmaker Pavel Jína confirmed that only cars with the 2.0 TSI evo engine manufactured from August 2020 to the present will go to the service. “The service technician will remove the cover during the operation. Due to the current limitations of production capacities, it is not possible to replace the cover with a new one. As soon as the engine cover is stocked by an authorized partner, he contacts the customer and invites him for retrofitting. “ confirmed Jína. In the Czech Republic, the convening event concerns 2,028 cars and has the designations 10H6 (Škoda), respectively 10H5 (VW), 10H7 (Seat / Cupra) and 10H8 (Audi).
