'21 Mk IV RS. Estate, if that matters. Brake pad wear sensor was triggered a few days ago. Car's done 15k miles / 24k km. Car is driven very gently by an old man (me) 99.9% of the time. And the other 0.1% is at its highest 'spirited', not aggressive. Is this real life? In what universe do pads need replacing after just 15k miles????

So, my new screen is three months old, and the car's only been used for two of those three months. The screen is now (almost) wholly unresponsive to touch. First had the issue yesterday, went back to the car today and the touchscreen worked once just after I started the car the first time, then packed it in and didn't work again, even after I parked the car for a while and went back to it later. Sooooooooo it seems we're yet again heading back to the dealership with a screen issue.

For those playing at home - Skoda has replaced the screen. Hopefully that will resolve the issue.

Thanks again, this will be very useful information to have at hand when I drop the car off!

Thanks for this. The fuse bit is particularly helpful! The car is under warranty so whatever the resolution is, it won't be at my cost. I have it booked in with Skoda service for next week and will update the thread after that.

It's not this. When it happens (and like I say, it only happens occasionally), the moment I put the vehicle into reverse, regardless of how far away any objects are, the volume of the beeps is vastly louder than it normally is.

That explanation might account for some examples of this issue, but it doesn't account for what I experience - which is, usually when I have already driven a reasonable distance and am then parking.

Small update which adds to how strange this bug is - I have discovered that the infotainment system keeps doing this little dance even after I turn the car off and lock it and walk away from it. So seemingly now I have a very high risk of battery drain causing me to be stranded.

This began a few days ago. Even hard resetting the infotainment system (holding down power button for 10-20 seconds) doesn't stop it. It makes use of the infotainment system impossible - eg playing music, using nav, etc etc. Has anyone else experienced this? Any known causes / solutions?

I've been having this problem sporadically since new, which is now over three years. For no discernible reason, the volume of the PDC beeps / noises is occasionally very loud - vastly louder than their normal volume. Has anyone else experienced this? Any known causes / solutions?

Per title. I just spoke with a tyre guy who didn't know. No, I won't be going to them for my alignment...

I've just had the same issue with an Octavia IV vRS wagon. I was approaching the vehicle and about 10m away when the alarm started sounding. The alarm continued sounding for about 20-30 seconds, then stopped for maybe 5 seconds, then started again. Rinse, repeat, for about 10 minutes in total. Nothing I tried would stop it, including repeatedly locking and unlocking the car, popping the hood, and starting the car - it just continued while the engine ran! I was on the phone to Skoda Assist when it finally stopped, not because of anything I'd done. A roadside mechanic later inspected the car and provided me with a list of faults he pulled from the OBD II. They include: - 4 faults with engine control module 1 - 1 fault with the transmission electronics - 4 faults with the brakes - 2 faults with the air con - 3 faults with "electronic central electric" (whatever that is) - 4 faults with the instrument cluster - 4 faults with the "gateway" - 2 faults with the brake booster - 1 fault with the steering column locking - 1 fault with the passenger's door electronics - 2 faults with information electronics 1 - 2 faults with parking assistance - 1 fault with front sensor for driver's assistant systems - 2 faults with "interface for access/start system" - 1 fault with door electronics rear passenger side The car is 22 months old, has never been in an accident, and has done 8k miles / 13k km.

Joined just so I could reply to this thread. I have a ‘21 MKIV vRS and it did the same thing a few nights ago. So this isn’t just an issue for PHEV vehicles!
