Hello, I have opened this topic to describe my long term ownership experience with KODIAQ and to entice other bear owners to do the same to assist potential buyers. I have a 2018 Škoda KODIAQ 2.0 TDI 190 PS DSG 4x4 Style version; currently 95.000 km on the clock: - the car came with squeaky door handles with noticible gap between the door handle and the door panel from new; reported it to the dealer; had it changed 3 times during warranty, some improvement on the gap the noise hovever is still present (common problem; tried contacting Škoda customer support directly - no response) - after 2 years of ownership the door locking mechanism on the drivers side door had to be replaced because it stopped working -> covered by warranty - at the 60.000 km service the dealer noticed corrosion on the rear brake callipers (not wear!) and they had to be replaced -> not covered by warranty - after 3 years of ownership the relay of the glow-plug for the ignition pre-heat had to be replaced (dealer spotted the problem during a routine 90.000 km service) -> covered by warranty - now at 95.000 km I have a gearbox mechatronics unit fault - waitting for a replacement part (DSG oil change was performed as scheduled; all services performed at the Škoda dealer every 15.000 km) -> covered by warranty My long term fuel economy is 7.0L/100km and can range from 5,8L/100km on country roads to 8,7L/100km on highway with aggressive driving at 180km/h. I am satisfied with the LED lights, the 4X4 HALDEX unit and the car comfort in general, what I did not expect was so many problems, which makes me wonder what comes next....
