Tyre deflation warning sign on dash.
Hello nta16, I do about 7,000 miles a year in this car. Why do you think changing the wheel to the front will make a difference? It may be worth a go. Thanks

Tyre deflation warning sign on dash.
Thank you for your interest and information. The tyres are are thre same ie Nexen. The system works off the ABS which measures the revolutions of the wheels and as the older tyre has a tread depth 2mm less than the others, it will rotate marginally faster than the other tyres. As the system is very sensitive it picks up this difference and triggers the warning symbol. My argument to the technician at the service dept of the Skoda dealer is that the onboard computer should register the difference in speed of the wheel when reset. The technician suggested that there was no solution except replacing the tyre. I don't believe that the system can be so infallible.

Tyre deflation warning sign on dash.
I have a 2021 Skoda Scala and have recently replaced three of the tyres due to them being perished and the tyre pressures have been set within the system. After driving for between 30 minutes and an hour the tyre pressure warning symbol appears on the dash for the tyre that wasn't replaced. This has happened on numerous occasions and each time I reset the the system and there is never anything wrong with the tyre. I have swapped the wheel over with the other rear wheel and the problem follows the wheel. An independent garage and a Skoda dealer has told me that the only probable way to solve the problem is to replace the tyre as the tread is 2mm lower than the other three. As I am not willing to spend £100 on a new tyre I am living with the problem at the moment. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

Infotainment screen rebooting and Freezing
Having had initial software updates through a dealer the problem was not resolved. I then phoned Skoda direct as I had lost confidence in the dealer and a very helpful lady contacted the dealer for me and arranged an appointment for me. Further updates were installed. I have not yet been on a journey of 2 hours or more to test the system. I did feel that involving Skoda forced the hand of the dealership.

Scala SOS alarm and navigation faults fix
Since I purchased my Scala in 2021 I have had intermittent issues with the SOS notification appearing on the dash and the SAT NAV not functioning. Skoda have carried out software updates to both units 0075 and 005F. So far so good.

I have the same issue with my 2021 Scala. I have it booked in for diagnosis in September. The dealer has told me that they expect to get to the bottom of the problem but it may take up to a week. I will let you know of any developments.
