Ah, OK. Thank you

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by that. Could you explain please? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I haven't used the car since Saturday, but I went out in it this morning et voila! it's back working again. Weird! Thanks again :-)

Hi, the driver information screen (the rectangular screen between the speedometer and the rev counter) on my 2018 combi has suddenly stopped displaying information; it's completely black. Has anyone else experienced this? Found the solution?

Ah, OK. I'll investigate that. Thanks

Neither of the two licence plate lights on my wife's Roomster is working. I've replaced both bulbs and checked the fuse (fuse no. 17) which is not blown. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in anticipation

Thanks for the tip; I'll check that 👍

I collected the car yesterday. The battery was faulty and has been replaced FOC.

Many thanks for your replies. The breakdown transporter guy came from 20 kms away within the hour guaranteed by my insurance company (Direct Assurance). He was able to start the car with a hefty jump starter unit. I then drove it 5 kms to the garage that fitted the battery in January. They parked it up inside the garage, switched off the ignition, then tried to restart it, and... no go. So, the car is at the garage over the weekend and will be fixed on Monday. I'm so glad I had that zero kms breakdown option on my insurance policy!

Thanks very much. The battery was replaced on January 14th by a local garage! My insurance company have arranged for a breakdown truck which is on its way to me as I write this. The car will then be transported to the garage for a battery replacement under warranty.

Hi all, Unlocked my Octavia 3 (2018) estate this morning, put the key in the ignition, and the electronics went crazy. Every fault you can think of came up in quick succession. I took a video of it, but the file is too large to upload here. So, I've put it on my website and placed a link to it here and hope that's OK. Any ideas anyone? All I can add is that I've been having 'key battery replacement' warnings lately even though I've tried brand new Varta batteries in the fob.

it's weird

It happened to me on 12th June, just for one journey, and hasn't done it since, so I'm not too worried about it.

Thanks. So apparently a random, but not critical, issue

Ah, OK, thanks for that. Good to know I'm not the only one. I will take it to my local Skoda dealer if it happens again.
