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!
