I have a 2025 Kodiaq SE L diesel. The first service is due at the end of next month by which time I will have done approx 2000 miles. My dealer recommends a Skoda approved full service to maintain the warranty at a cost of £412. Seems very expensive to me. What are the experiences of other new owners?

Car was MOT'd this morning. Passed with no advisories. 😁

Plus 1 for low oil. That sounds like a "dry clunk" to my ears. Could also be dry CV joints.

Thanks. Oil has been changed recently and is currently just seeping out of the fill hole. Both drive shafts are new from wheel to flange.

Thanks Gary, I would imagine that at 6 months the battery should be in a good state, im probably over thinking this. What other documents should I I look for as I don’t think the car will have had its first service ?

My Enyaq was also 6 months old when I bought it and although I didn't see the SOH certificate prior to buying it came with all the other documents. These are all alsoheld electronically through the dealership website.

If the shaft seals are leaking it may be low on oil hence the clunk. I would get gearbox oil level checked and also the condition of it first. Could also be worn cv joints. Alasdair

Hi. I have a Skoda Octavia 2006 2,0 tdi. It has just begun to have a sticking clutch pedal, like if i pump it a few times it will stay down. Do somebody know what is the cause of this problem? Greetings from Denmark

Hi been to Skoda and purchased new antenna booster tried to fit new on at rear of windscreen different fittings Skoda told there are 2 antenna boosters in car 1 for FM and 1 for dab and FM 2 does anybody know where dab 1 is located as I can only see 1

Are you getting 12v at N522 valve with ignition on. Just wondering if its a bad fuse or relay problem. Read the valve is supplied with 12v at ignition and ecu connects earth to operate it. Alasdair

The car is a 2023 Karoq with the 1.5 engine so I assume the gearbox is the DQ200 dry clutch. I am a DSG newby so don't know any more tech details. Mileage is 11000.

Yes, adaptations and coding via OBD11 pro subscription needed

Thanks! That looks great! Did you have to do coding to the car?

We see oft in airfreight logistics. I would hope the 30% SoC test is done but I fear not as oft it should. Should push much of freight on to rail and truck rather than air and sea but that is not happening perhaps ad myxh as it should. I must have at least 50 items with Lithium batteries I reckon, maybe a lot more. Must do a run to the recycling centre rather than leave devices hanging around.

Hi, I think it really depends on the country and the level of map coverage. Today on my trip, I saw this kind of magic for the first time. I was guided in exactly the right lane. And of course, for the first time, I enjoyed the automatic acceleration to the newly recognized speed limit and slowing down according to the road signs.

Bumper off for a good look and possible reservoir replacement. "Dramatic leak" suggests more than a misplaced hose. Have a look at this; https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/147230-mk1-fabia-5-litre-washer-bottle-conversion/?hl=%20litre%20%20washer%20%20bottle#entry2798069

@pab567 Hello i have a 2015 mk3 lauren and klement octavia estate fitted with a columbus unit i have the ece2024 maps installed, i downloaded the latest map HIGH 12 F P350 EU 202345 from a link on here, when i installed the map it only lets me see the route from a distance of 25 miles and i cannot zoom in, any ideas??? Or can anyone put a link to the latest maps that work properly??

Received my first delivery with batteries included with a label like this.

Could it be the same as Mk2,s '7DL'

This may be slightly esoteric knowledge but I have a grey MY 2016 Octavia 3 Scout. Does anybody know what colour the plastic body trims are on it? ETKA shows two parts numbers for them, one with the suffix 9B9 - Satin Black. I need/want to replace the trims around the left hand fog light and the lower wheel arch trim but the only parts that seem to be available are 9B9 and I’m pretty sure mine are actually dark grey, which I assume are the non 9B9 part numbers. I thought I’d found at least one of them, new, in Italy, which has just arrived but turns out to be 9B9, Satin Black, and there is a subtle but obvious colour difference between it and the one on the car. Frustratingly, the colour suffix doesn’t appear on the part itself, that’s only recorded on the original part number label on the packaging, so even sourcing them from a breakers, if I could find, is no guarantee of them being the right colour. Does anybody have any knowledge of this? Thanks!

DQ250 & DQ381,s are the same oil in the Box and the MCU,.Oil & Filter changes at Servicing. It is the DQ200 that has the dry clutches & 2 oils, in the box and in the MCU. (No service schedule / regime & the small filter is in the MCU.)

The feature you refer to is known as Headlamp Assist. To use the feature, the light switch (turn knob) must first be in the “Auto” position. Then, each time you switch on the ignition, you need to push the headlamp stalk forwards until you feel resistance (about half the full travel), then let it return to rest position. You will notice the lights indicator at the bottom of the dashboard display shows a white dipped headlamp symbol with “A” in the centre of the symbol. Unfortunately, the car doesn’t remember this, and you have to repeat this second step involving the headlamp stalk each time the ignition is switched on.

I have bought and successfully installed this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006263043091.html it should be the same one and OEM! The seller referred me this manual https://aiduauto.com/blogs/installation-manual/skoda-octavia-mk4-evo-rear-camera-install?srsltid=AfmBOor_4VQeI-8HV9o051odIiFk-0o78mooUIBaezjqMjpBkbpe8d1o For disassemble interior I have followed this guide https://youtu.be/rWVycZsKrEU?si=EgI1TYuyRBRKmzvB It was quite a strenuous job and I wouldn't attempt it again, however camera fits and works excellent just like original, a big improvement IMO. PS: be extremely careful when disassembling tailgate wiring grommet clips.

How many seconds was there between step 2 and 3? If only a very short time, try repeating test but leave 60 seconds between ignition off and back on again. See if same outcome.

AI says, As vedicle is outside it's original 3-year manufacturer warranty, consider these avenues to manage the cost: Ask for Škoda "Goodwill": If you have a full Škoda main dealer service history, ask the service manager to submit a goodwill contribution request to Škoda UK. Because TPI 2065531/1 acknowledges a known manufacturing design tolerance issue, they sometimes cover a percentage of the labor or parts.
