Neil_ started following 2015 skoda superb Adblue def fault.

I sort of have now - adblue refill warning of 650 miles regardless of how much adblue remains. After counting down from 650m to 500m the alarm would disappear only to recur shortly after. If it it does reach zero the engine doesnt stop but WONT restart if you turn it off - whilst driving in Europe I found this out from Skoda to see if I could actually get home when approaching a main dealer in the Netherlands who wouldnt touch it. The main dealer at home had already reloaded engine management software which reset the adblue counter before my holiday to 4500m but not for long, it soon reverted to 650m notification. The main dealer on returning home has now replaced a 04L907807DMNox sensor for the sum of £560.40 plus tax and will wait and see if this is the cause of the alarms. Out of warranty on a Skoda then thses parts certainly cost you. Pity they didnt do that in the first place as it screwed up the holiday.

Re pan sunroof and my costly repair above - Well after spending stupid money to get it fixed as I have no where out of the weather to work on it or keep it I thought I would try Skoda UK and say my bit. Response was swift they are only interested in their legal obligations - its just a pity I cant prove that it was their legal obligation to build the vehicle properly in the first place before I bought it. Their view of customer relations is poor Im glad some have had success with their dealer though its a pity mine had changed hands. And I concur the warranty person for Skoda earns his/her salary. Not even interested in a goodwill gesture for the soaking carpets. I cant prove its a manufacturing defect - evidence on how many actual complaints Skoda have had on this would be useful or maybe people dont bother. Anyway I dont think the Ombudsman route would do any good as I have no proof - has anyonbe else tried the ombudsman on the matter? Neil

I have found the comments useful on here so for what its worth I have added my experince. It took a while to realise that water was getting in, the penny didnt drop with condensation on the inside until I saw some drips inside, then I checked the front footwell and the carpets were soaked. Didnt notice as it was under the mats. I have attached a couple of pictures. No garage at home to check things out away from the weather but cleared the pan roof drain holes as described on the forum and all looked normal. However still leaked so as its not the best time of year to do this stuff the main dealer dealt with it. The franchise had changed so the company was not the same as I had bought the vehicle from. Anyway the panoramic roof cassette cost inc fitting was £1661 plus VAT so it has cost me £1993 with a two year warranty. So I have two years to make up my mind other than that the Yeti must rate as the most practical vehicle Ive had. Anyway I hope that what I have desribed might benefit someone else. I have complained direct to Skoda but not holding my breath!!!
