Hi all, I got a new Kodiaq Sportline on the 31st July and then went on holiday the week after. While I was away my father-in-law moved the car and nudged the lights on which then flattened the battery. He called the AA who put some charge back into it. The only adverse affect noticed from this was that there is now an 'airbag error' shown on the dashboard but nothing called out on the info screen in the vehicle section. I had read that the airbag functionality needs a decent charge on the battery but the light has now been there for about a week after it has been driven 50-60 miles. Any thoughts on remedying this? In the first place it would be good to try and reset the light and see if it then reappears. Other than that I guess it is a case of heading down to the dealer to get them to check it under warranty?

You can get cables which plug into the OBD2 socket in your car. They supploy power continuously and automatically power down when it gets close to running your battery down. I have one in my current Kodiaq and it has worked well and protected the battery.

Thanks, that does make sense. It is through a Skoda dealer on a PCH deal so I guess it is more about allocation for the supplying company instead of just the building of similar cars being wildly different.

Thanks both. So as an example the Feb 2022 brochure for the UK Kodiaq (https://autocatalogarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Skoda-Kodiaq-2022-UK.pdf) has the Virtual Cockpit as a paid option on the Sportline but the June 2023 brochure has it on the SE L Executive and above (see first post in this thread). That is the sort of change of spec I was talking about.

Quick question, so the brochure was published in April but took effect from the 1st June. Do the adjusted specs mentioned in the new brochure only start appearing for cars built after the 1st June only or cars being delivered from the 1st June onwards? Or could these news specs have started hitting the market anytime after April? *scratches head*

I'm a bit surprised about some of these order times. I ordered at 2.0TSI Sportline DSG in Feb and it has already been built and at Emden for the trip over for delivery before the end of the month. It was a custom build with some options. Why is there such a range of delivery times?
