A strange incident happened on Friday last week. I came back home and tried to lock the car using the remote as usual. Wouldn't do anything although the fob red light was happily flashing. So I then locked the car manually with the key, successfully. Now the "fun" bit. I then tried to unlock the car using the remote and the key. Nothing! I was stumped; searched this website to no avail. So I had to resort to calling out Skoda Rescue to look at my 6 month old 1.4 L&K. The technician asked me all the questions I'd asked myself. He was stumped and said, "This may take some time"! Indeed it did, after well over halk an hour of lying under the car he managed to open the bonnet and isolate the battery. This reset everything and the next hour or so, he went through full diagnostics, but nothing. He was honest enough to admit he didn't know what caused it. Anyone else been through this challenge? Skoda would like to know as well I would guess.

I have ordered a 1.4TSI 4x4 L&K in Petrol Blue. None of those options have appeared on here yet! Can someone help?

I placed an order for a 1.4 TSI L&K, with only metallic paint as a variation, last week. I have been given week 15 (April 11th) as a build date. There seems to be a wide variation, probably due to engine selected and trim level. Curious times, but I can't wait to get my hands on it. At least the weather should be better by then.

Thanks for your advice so far. I do about 8000 a year, and have seen diesel as the costlier option. I woulld snap Skoda's hands off if they did a 1.4 TSI with DSG in the UK, but no such luck.

I currently run a 2012 Yeti Se Plus with 1.2 TSI. Have now decided it's time to get a car with DSG (and hopefully a little more poke). Good news about engine upgrades since then, but I am torn between an Octavia SEL with 1.4 TSI and DSG and another Yeti 1.2 TSI with DSG (either SE or SEL). Can anyone throw any light on my problem?
