Car(s) are under warranty and I know that one of the cars have been inspected at skoda workshop but they haven’t found anything wrong with the car, they’ve changed the brakefluid and rims on the winter tyres. I do agree with You, that water is somehow the reason, but in which part of the system.. My guess would be that there is water somewhere in the brake servo unit, as the brake pedal doesn’t move at all when the problem occurs. If the problem was with pistons, pads or discs the pedal would move.

Answer to Your question might be that 0C is close to the temp range when water turns to ice. But does the kamiq brakes have water instead of brakefluid or something ?? 😆

Hi, Has anyone had problems with Kamiq or Skodas which have the same brakes at freezing temperatures? I know 2 cars which has had similar symptoms at first use of brakes in the morning or after longer parking at daytime. The brake pedal doesn´t move at all in the first braking attempt, although the driver has used the brake pedal at starting the car, and when turning the car around in the yard. But when he has been getting closer to a bigger road intersection and started to brake, the pedal is "hard" and only good luck has prevented any collisions. This happens randomly, and only when it´s below 0 degrees celsius. br jani
