Hi all! So just joined the Skoda family with my 19 plate superb, lovely to drive. Had it 4 days now, but finding a few things that are worrying me a tad.
When I test drove it, the start stop system didn’t work at all, they assured me it was because it had been stood but if it still didn’t work in a few weeks they would put a new battery on for me, which was fair enough. It’s worked a couple of times but no where near the amount I would expect it to (have a seat leon and drove that as main car for almost 9 years, basically same set up bar the badge as far as I’m aware, a lot of parts shared between the brands etc, and that’s never skipped a beat)
The infotainment screen just went black 2 days ago after park pilot had gone off, had to park up, turn car off and on, delete my phone from CarPlay, then eventually it came on like nothing had happened? 😕
Then yesterday, the car auto locked when I drove away, great, but then kept constantly clicking unlock/lock/unlock etc. Did it for 2 journeys then hasn’t done it since? Could it be because of the heavy rain? As that’s the only thing that’s been different.
Then noticed today, that the start stop system is saying as the reason the system won’t work that the ‘Engine must be running’ which it was, stayed like that the whole journey?
Does it sound like a battery could be the fault for these? Or is there something more sinister going on? It’s booked in for next week with the dealer, but I’ve just had a 2.5 month fight to get money back on a Picasso that was practically fit for scrapping, so I’m scared about things going wrong with this one as well!
Thanks in advance everyone!
