I have the opposite problem with my Enyaq: If I leave the car the system turns off immediately but on some occasions I want the radio to stay on for the benefit of my passenger(s). How can I do this ?

Very good detailed advice. Thanks !

Thanks. I think that a once-over by a dealer would at least put my mind at rest, so I will follow up your suggestion !

Right; So, I reset the over-inflated tyre pressures in line with the helpful advice received from this Forum and there was a significant improvement in the ride quality. However, hitting potholes or trenches still feels like I am hitting a brick wall to the extent that my passengers express their reactions using the F word ! Am I alone with this ? (is it a by-product of having a rigid chassis supporting batteries ?) or am I missing something ? Hope you can all help !

Understood !

No worries. I invariably charge at home using my Zappi, so I will set the charge as you and Luckypants have described and I will be able to monitor the results. Thanks again !

Thanks to Classic and Luckypants. Helpful as always !

Hi All; Slightly different AC charging issue: My home charger is a Zappi which I can use to direct some or all of my solar panel energy to recharge my Enyaq. I can also schedule the Zappi to charge the car at night when Octopus Energy's Go tariff applies at a rate of 5p per kWh. What I would like to know is, given that it is recommended that the batteries are only charged to 80%, is there a way to set a limit on the car so that when the capacity reaches 80% it stops charging ? Currently my Zappi night charge just goes on to 100% or until the night tariff ends, whichever comes sooner and I don't really want to get up at 3am to check whether the car is charged to 80% !

Have you actually done that ? What was the procedure ? Was the dealership happy and what did you pay per kWh ?

Very interesting comments. I think you are right. check everything. All my issues so far could have been sorted if PDI and handover had been done properly.

All subjective, but is it worth the extra price ?

Pleased to hear it, but the base price is about £10,000 more than my Enyaq so I guess it should be better !

It is difficult for us laymen to determine which has the best ride quality for different road surfaces. However, as I have demonstrated, the Dealers could help by at least setting the tyre pressures to those actually recommended on the sticker attached to the vehicle !

I can see where you are coming from. At the end of the day, the Dealer is just there to take the order and hand over what the manufacturer supplies I have no doubt that the Manufacturers provide product familiarisation but ultimately it is easier to just provide the customer with what arrives from the factory rather than go over it with a fine tooth comb. That is the value of a Forum such as this: to get around the PR blurb and highlight to potential (and existing) owners what they should expect from the product.

Very good points. Thanks to all who helped solve (?) the issue and I hope that buyers of new Enyaq will benefit from our experience. One lesson: Don't assume the Dealer knows best !

Hi All; Right. I took tyre pressure readings with my hand-held tyre pressure gauge and that indicated an over-inflation, but to be sure, today I used a calibrated air line at a "local" garage. The recommended pressures on the label fixed to the car say 2.5bar. The car has Hancook 235/55R19 Ventus S1 Euro 3 EV tyres fitted. I checked three tyre retailer sites which show the recommended pressure settings for your individual car (you enter your reg. number) and they all indicated a setting of 2.3bar front and rear. When I took the pressures (front and rear) on the calibrated air line it showed that each tyre was inflated to just over 2.7 bar. I reduced the pressures all round to 2.5 and re-set the TPMS to the new values. On my way back from the garage (about 7 miles along country lanes) I noticed a significant improvement in ride quality. Sure, the Yorkshire potholes make themselves felt as do ridges across the road, but I didn't feel that I was running into things like before. I will probably leave the settings at 2.5bar for now as that is in line with the Skoda in-car sticker but at least I have another 0.2 bar to play with if more regular use shows less improvement than I experienced on my way back home. I have advised the Dealer and added it to my list of PDI and Handbook issues which currently include: * Incorrect registration plates - green band on rear plate but not on front plate; * Incorrectly inflated tyres; * No information on how to adjust mobile phone volume; * Incomplete Handbook - no VIN number or Dealer stamp or record of extended warranty; * No Final Invoice provided on collection. This is required as proof of ownership; * Car only charged to 70% on collection. I guess old habits such as only providing a teaspoonful of petrol in a new car, die hard ! * Zero information on Powerpass (but thanks to me they now are aware of it despite no Consultancy fee !). * No Wallet for Handbook etc. Silly, I know, but when paying £30K+ is it too much to expect a plastic wallet costing £3 to hold documents ? PLUS I don't know about anyone else but I do think the main Skoda Enyaq web site is lacking with little if any explanation of what is involved (for example) in buying the 100Kw DC charging option and why it is a good idea, no mention of Powerpass, limited specification details etc. Sorry if I have gone on a bit but despite all of the above I do like the car which came in the colour of my supported football team !

Many thanks for your comments !

I'll let you know how I get on !

Many thanks for this. I have checked and didn't see anything I don't think should be there ! Seems that your and e-Roottoot's suggestions about the tyre pressures could well hold the solution. I will adjust the pressures tomorrow using a calibrated air pump and hope that does the trick. I just hope the TPMS accepts the change - at the moment it just says the tyre pressures are appropriate to the vehicle.

Thanks. I have checked the pressures with my hand gauge and as you suggested, they are all just under 2.7bar which is well above the 2.3bar recommended by the tyre retailers. I will reinflate tomorrow using a garage pump, reset the TPMS and see if that cures the problem. How do I check the Transport blocks ?

Thanks, will do. According to my online research they should be at 34psi/2.3bar whereas the label on the car indicates a pressure of 2.5bar. I'll find out tomorrow what they actually are by using the air pressure gauge at my local garage.

Hi e-Roottoot; Yes, 5p per kWh between 00:30 and 04:30 every night (see https://octopus.energy/go/). Octopus have also introduced an 'Electric Juice' card (see https://octopus.energy/electric-juice-network/) which allows charging at about 12 networks (including Osprey, Ionity, Shell with more being added) through a single billing system. As regards the tyres, the ones fitted are Hancook 235/55R19 Ventus S1 Evo3 EV. I have not adjusted the pressure as I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that the Dealer would have set the pressures and that the tyre pressure monitor would have highlighted any pressure problems. hat's based on all Economy 7 tariffs as of April 2021.

Yes, should be 5p !!!!

Card duly arrived from Germany. Had to Pair the card with the App and I am supposedly ready to go. No instructions for use other than on the App so I emailed 'Powerpass Support', also known as 'Elli', and received these instructions, although it didn't explain what the process was for using the card at the charging station: Regarding your request, we would like to inform you, that you can find the available charging stations from the Powerpass app: Open Powerpass App / search & find charging stations on the map around you. Search by Speed of the charging output of the station. Search by Outlet type of the charging station. Get detail of the charging station and its availability. If you select a charging station within Powerpass App and click "Get directions", your favorite navigation app will show you detailed direction (e.g. Google Maps). When you find your desired station you can charge your vehicle using your charging card. You select the desired payment method. You plug your vehicle and you start the charging process

Hi All; Still getting to grips with my week-old Enyaq 60 Nav. Generally pleased with the car - especially as I find that I can recharge at home for £0.50 kWH by using my off-peak tariff courtesy of Octopus. Incidentally I have also discovered Octopus' Electric Juice scheme which is well on the way to using a single card to allow charging on many networks - well worth a look. I do have one question for other Enyaq owners however. My car is fitted with 19" wheels and only has the one ride quality setting - I am aware that with other options ride quality can be charged to 'Eco', 'Sport', 'Comfort' etc. I find that the suspension is harder than I was used to in my Yeti which is OK when the roads are flat. However as most of the roads in my County consist of potholes and covered trenches joined by bits of tarmac, it can be unexpectedly uncomfortable at times. This came as a surprise to me as reviews had generally praised the ride quality (eg. 'Car' Magazine said "It's not often that a car's ride quality can impress with its pliancy within the first 100 metres, but that was the case here – it crushes speed humps and shrugs off ridges in a way that no car with 19-inch wheels has any right to". Has anyone else experienced the same ? I can't help but wonder whether some sort of adjustment might be required by the Dealer but I am unsure what ! All comments gratefully received.
