Re: oct vrs induction kit

Thats the most ludicrous thing i've ever heard!
Was this a private dealership or a Skoda dealer?
Sound like their just trying to scare you, there are many owners on this site with induction kit with no problems what so ever myself included.
Out of interest what sort of kit was it?

They are talking rubbish,

Have had a CAI on my car for over 45K miles along with other mods and have had no problems at all.
