thanks that was helpful. Didn’t know I could lock the doors that way. the AA guy came round and said the battery was fine and had 3v so no issues. He advised its a fob issue so I’ve now got it booked with a Skoda garage in 3 weeks - the earliest they could fit me in.

so it’s happened again. Car doesn’t lock now using the remote. I’ve called Skoda AA roadside assistance and they are en route. This is becoming a pain.

So I rang my nearest ŠKODA garage who advised the car is still under warranty and to call roadside assistance. This is a partnership with the AA. A ŠKODA technician was sent and strangely he replaced the battery and it started working - even though I did this yesterday (read original post). He advised this is common and replaced battery and gave me a spare one. He says this happens quite often and he has a lot of call outs for the same thing. Anyway, happy for now as I can now at least drive the car again and all seems okay.

Okay, I won’t. I will keep you posted. Take care.

Awesome, thanks for the advice man. This is my first fairly new car I’ve bought and I do love it to be fair. I will speak to ŠKODA tomorrow all being well.

Thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated. The car is class S as was damaged repaired previously. Would you know if that would be an issue when taking it back to dealers?

So my recently bought 2018 Karoq. 1.8 SE L. All of a sudden the key does not open the door. The light on the fob doesn’t come on. I had my brother swap batteries with his golf and it did not make a difference. I managed to open the door and the alarm went off but the car didn’t start even with me holding the key fob next to the car won’t start. Any ideas folks on what I need to do? Can I take it back to ŠKODA as it should still be under warranty right?
