Is my garage lying to me ?
It might be worth disconnection the second small wire that attaches to the negative terminal? Thanks. AG Falco

With mine if the stop/starts cuts in I can restart the engine by turning the heater fan up to three and putting the AC on. So having the AC / fan on can stop it working as well. Thanks. AG Falco

If both the handbrake/parking brake was not on and the foot brake not on then the wheel should spin freely. Brake shoes on the rear are inside the drum. Look here:- Thanks. AG Falco

It won't always work. After a 12 mile trip home it never works outside my house. But after 10 miles in the morning it normally works if I stop at some lights. 🥺 Battery was good when I tested it. Car does need to learn the new battery. It will try to charge it more than it charged the old one. Did Skoda do a scan for faults when you were there? Beginning to think that the Bolero problem is a different one. Do you know why the Bolero/car bongs? Thanks. AG Falco

Fuel tank lock stopped working
When the fuel cap is locked the fuel cap will spin freely in both directions on mine? When it is unlocked you twist it anticlockwise to remove it. Thanks. AG Falco

Is the brake stuck on at that wheel position then? Brake dust? No pictures here? Thanks. AG Falco

Some times if there is no power to the car during a battery change the car can 'forget' things. As you know even with the ignition off the Bolero system is still powered. Thanks. AG Falco

Fingers crossed. 🤞 Did the garage that fitted the battery use a memory / code saver power supply in the OBD2 port when changing the battery? Thanks. AG Falco

110,000miles service complete
Some non Skoda garages can update the digital service history on ERWIN but they have to registrar / pay to do it. It is just as good to have all the invoices from any service work that has been done. Have heard of this before. I have removed / refitted coil packs from my cars and had no problems at all. There are special coil pack removal tools, and clips on youtube on how to get any stubborn ones out. middle one? Thanks. AG Falco

Sounds like a talk with Skoda would be a good idea. There are good small sound boxes you could use with your portable CD player. Ask if it comes to that. Thanks. AG Falco

A second scan to see if an codes are now present might give us a clue, but see below. Always worth doing first. Please keep us posted. If all else fails I have a big hammer to do some reprogramming with. 😉 Thanks. AG Falco

Battery tested and shows all good, with 12.9 V at rest and 14.9 V engine running. Battery now coded. Car also scanned for any faults, three old ones now cleared. Hopefully we will hear if this was successful from the OP. Thanks. AG Falco

Replacement tyre recommendations.
4 Cars:- One runs just summers all year round. One runs summers and all season in the winter. Two run just all season all year. I did run one with summers and winters for 5 years. Down South in North Dorset the all seasons are more than up to the job in the winter. Thanks. AG Falco
