Silver lining for sure, but not good at all for 23. Still baffled as to how the local techs didn't say it was a turbo replacement kinda issue, while Skoda HQ did.

Had this alert pop up last week on the highway and straight into limp mode. Pulled over and turned it off, while waiting searched online and quite a lot of people had the same issue, and were told by dealer that it was a software fault. Anyway after about 20-30 minutes turned her on, reset the central control panel and went on my way. Absolutely nothing with the driveability was wrong, pushed her hard as I was now late, and did another 1000km over the next few days until the scenario repeated itself. Took her in this morning and just been told that Skoda HQ have advised its a turbo fault, the car needs to stay there until its replaced and it will take about 15 days for the part to come in. On the one hand great its under warranty and will be fixed, on the other really confusing as the car, other than the 2 limp mode moments, showed absolutely nothing wrong with performance etc. Cars less than a year old, really very annoying.

Start stop, then lane assist and finally front assist, go to routine. A few times when i forgot the front/collision assist, parking gave me a heart attack with the breaks smashing on as if i had gone into a wall.

Thanks !!

Thanks for the info. It is the skoda main service, however, eastern Europe, you are better off bringing your own for a variety of conspiracy reasons !! Its the first 15k service, guessing its variable as the car is only 4 months old. Do you have any recommendations as to a good oil, even if its the VW One? Thanks for replying.

Hi all, Hit the 15 mark on my skoda 2023 2.0 tdi, and taking it in tomorrow for the oil change and filters. Leaning towards bringing my own oil and watching the change, questions are is that necessary, and more importantly, what oil to go for? Liqui molly seems to get recommended, is it the right direction to go in or is something else in now? Also, on liqui oil finder, it shows 0W-20 as recommended for this car, but I thought it was 5W-30 ? Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Octavia 2.0 TDI 4x4, about 4 months old and with 17k on the clock already (half the time was abroad so shes getting run hard), thoroughly enjoyed going through the forum while waiting for delivery, finally signed up to inquire about oil and play my part! :D
