Did you not mean to say TCS ( traction control )? If ABS was working ovetime and doing it's job, you'd probably have ended up in a ditch in those conditions.

Unless it's a misunderstanding on my part, there's something very weird about the intervals you mention. Servicing / maintenance intervals are given on the Skoda website: Skoda servicing / maintenance The Haldex is due every 3years or 30k miles, not on the 4th year. If your car is 2018 then it should have been changed last year - 2021 The spark plugs are due every 4th year or 40k miles. If you have a 2018 car then they are due to be replaced now. Who told you it was last year? Are you sure that's the info you were given? Perhaps they gave you the correct info and you've got it muddled up. North lanarkshire? https://gowmotorservices.co.uk/ ( only 5mins off the M80 but still remote location)

If I were in your situation here in the UK and they couldn't fix it, I'd be informing them that I'm taking the car to an audio electrician to resolve and if they successfully fix it, will be asking Skoda / garage / warranty for a full refund. If they believe it's software rather than hardware related then the only thing I can think of is they'll be altering the timing of the amplifier's startup routine. But if your car is 2018 and this issue has only just surfaced then... I agree, it doesn't sound like a software issue. Replacing the amp with another would be a simple way of knowing if the problem was with the amp itself. ( IMO the most likely cause ). It could be a known problem within the VW Group but I'm certainly not aware of it. You're not aware of anything happening recently - is there anyway say a connection from the control unit to the amp may have been disturbed - something like the glovebox had been removed for some reason?

I'd advise you to check all the connections to the amplifier. If it's not an external connection then my guess is it's either something within the amp or an earthing issue with the amp ( or in general with the car - there aren't any other weird / spooky things that have happened recently is there? No unexpected warning lights or anything like that? ) If it's under warranty then it's a trip to the dealership.

In other words the keys don't have to be inside the car for the engine to run? So someone smashes a window and can drive off with your car without you even knowing about it. I reckon you're insurer isn't going to take too kindly to that either. Here's an idea... what about getting in to the driver seat, switching on the engine and waiting until the car warms up? Or do as I do. Had heated windscreens in Fords but never found them of any use. By the time I clear the passenger side + rear 3/4 windows on my Kodiaq, the non-heated windscreen has defrosted.

No problem here. I'm assuming it's a generic message and refers to left-hand drive cars. Can totally agree with hands - I tried to removed the door handle the other day and gave up - and that's a dead easy 2min job ! Apart from hands being cold, all the plastic parts are freezing / brittle so good chance of something snapping. I chickened out - leaving it alone for a few days.

My tuppence worth? You're not overreacting in my book. Truth is you have a month to return the car without any difficulty ( see consumer rights act 2015 ) or 6 months after purchase ( same act but with added complications ). If it were me? Any used car I buy could have a problem, if you're a 'bottle half full' type then it's good the issue manifestied itself so quickly. And if they sort the problem out - great. The main point is that the issue has been logged so if something were to happen in future then you can always say it was present when you purchased the car. That's a big advantage. If the fault had been elsewhere then I'd have questioned the history of the car - is that going to be the first of a number of problems? but the Ad Blue sensor? Personally I wouldn't be worried.

Never taken more than a few days for a dealer to confirm acceptance. Look at it another way, if you hadn't been approved then you can bet your life the dealership would be in contact with you a.s.a.p.

Before making any decision, Curious to know details of that discussion. Who was it with, the cleaner? The difference between 225/45/19 and 225/55/19 is 6.16% ! Who advised that as an alternative? If you're going to change from 225/45/19 then basically you're looking at different alloys. Your best 18" alternative is 225/50/18 which equates to an 8J 18 ET45 alloys such as the Braga. ( have a look on ebay or breakers ) Your best 17" alternative is 225/55/17 which equates to a 7J 17 ET45 alloy such as Ratikon or Triton. There will obviously be 3rd party alternatives. That's constructive point 1. Constructive point 2 is did they check they have the tyres in stock / that they were able to get them? I ordered Cross Climate 2 SUV tyres for my Kodiaq this morning and booked the car in for Thur 15th to have them fitted. Got a call this afternoon... "Sorry but we've just contacted our supplier and it'll be February before they're delivered to us".

Totally agree with above comments because it's happened to me on other VW cars. 99% certain it's a result of your windscreen fluid not being strong enough for the conditions.

Your reply should have been qualified by 'on a public road'. On private land ( driveway ) you can do as you please. However if someone were to drive off in your car, your insurer might have something to say about that.

Then i've misunderstood your quesiton. If you're taking about a seperate amp and speakers then no probs ( but seems an awful lot of work and expense ) Not quite sure where you'd be mounting them tho - full range speakers need a sealed box to work. If you are effectively replacing the OEM door speakers then I stand by what I said - OEM specifications are different to 3rd party replacements. You'll get no base, especially from 6x9 I think I know what you're trying to achieve and yes there are solutions but the cost would be crazy. Still scratching my head wondering that if you do transfer the sound to the 6th and 7th seats, aren't those sittling in the rear seat going to complain? If your complaint is the system isn't loud enough then personally the speakers are the last thing I'd be looking to change. I'd be introducing an amp for the whole system - same sort of thing as Canton. https://www.audiotec-fischer.de/en/match/

This is really confusing. The 1st part number you quoted is a single blade. The 2nd part number you quoted is for a pair of blades - it's two differnet things. But as I understand it, Kenny R is saying the front wipers haven't changed - it's the rear wiper that has. Or am I just being an idiot?

Not saying this is what your exact issue is but VW group have history here, even on cars which were a few months old. Replacing the pads sorted that issue out but out on a 4 year old car or even a relatively new one with 8000 miles on the clock, it'll be treated as 'wear and tear' so up to you to replace. ( if that's what the problem is ).

Sorry I'm not quite understanding. Are you saying the windscreen on the facelift model is bigger?

All the sites? Bosch only list front blades for post facelift models.

All sounding like the peculiarity with the rear wiper on facelifted models.

In mathematical terms it's nonsense. £1,5000 is completely meaningless. Doesn't stop people seeing what they want to see or believing what they want to believe tho. Now if had been the old Italian Lira rather than pounds, it could safely be rounded off to the thousandth digit. Back in the 70's, I remember going in to a Pescara chemist, paying in Lira and being handed sweets rather than money in change. What an economy that was!

If anyone thinks £1,5000 is the same as £15k then perhaps they need to visit Specsavers.

The reason I ask is I'm aware of all-in-1 subwoofers but never seen or heard of an amplified full range or component speaker. Do you have a link to the speakers you're considering fitting? And if you're removong the sound from the rear door speakers so that the kids in the 6th and 7th rearmost seats can hear it then what about the folk sitting in the rears seats? Won't they then complain they can hear it?

In what way doesn't it fit? Should be a 13" blade which A331H is. It fitted my Sportline no issues. EDIT: my bad. It fitted my 2020 Sportline no issues. Are 2022 facelifted versions really that different? Certainly looks the same size of screen.

Have you ever done anything like this before?

If it makes no mention of Canton then... Only vehicles that state Canton is part of the package ( usually expensive multi packages ) are available. The option of Canton used to be offered on almost any model but it's no longer the case - presumably it'll be down to shortage of chips.

There's quite a number of views on you question but so far nobody has answered it. For good reason - I'd say look for earphones and an alternative source of music for your kids. Seriously though from what you say you'd be best speaking to a dedicated incar audio specialist. Are you taking about 12v powered/amplified speakers? The issud of supplying 12v may sound simple to you ( not to me it doesn't ) but it's not as simple as 'tapping' in to an exisiting signal. I don't know what your experience of in car audio is, but a speaker requires a certain amount of signal strength to work, so by 'tapping' in you may receive a signal but you're certainly going to damage the existing Skoda speaker(s) because you've just at least halved that signal. You really need to speak to an audio specialist for that idea - it's certainly doable but I'd guess the cost is prohibitive.

Given they're plastic and not intended to be constantly taken off/on I can't see why they would damage the alloy. ( assuming both the trims and the alloy are 100% free of grit when mounting them that is ). On the contrary, with the plastic insert in place surely that'd offer additional protection than an alloy without inserts? If it were me, they'd be removed and stored in the loft until the day I sold the car because I think the trims look crap.
