Hi guys! In my 2019 Skoda Scala, the trunk door stops at "mid air" like in the pictures attached. The opening is manual. Basically, when I open it, I've to help it significantly with the hands. If I stop at mid-opening, it It stays there, without moving up or down. Only when it's almost full open it moves by itself toward the maximum extension. When I close it, the resistance is minimal, and after the midpoint, if I remove the hands it bangs quite loudly. it had this behavior since day zero, no "degradation". Thus, I was wondering if we're talking about a "bug" or a "feature".... Anyone else among the Scala owner have the same behavior? I would like to verify it before proceed with a substitution of the tailgate struts. Thanks in advance! 🙂 PS: not sure if I used the correct translation (the sorry for my bad English!), but the items I would like to substitute are these: https://www.autodoc.parts/car-parts/tailgate-struts-10926/skoda/scala

Thanks for the suggestions @rum4mo! Regarding the change from EFB to AGM, I've to admit that I'm a little bit scared of the programming part (I don't have the equipment and I'm scared of screwing everything 😅 ). Anyway, I'll look into that to figure out what's better @nta16 you got the point. Actually, the battery is not dead, the tension is moving around 12.3 - 12.4 after 3-4 days not using the car. Sometimes it seems like the car has a harder time starting so I decided to solve the problem in two ways: 1) I bought a charger and try to give a little "boost" at the battery. Hopefully, this will solve the issue. I bought the "Bosch C30 3.8 A": a little bit expensive compared to other solution but it seems to be designed also for this new type of battery so...I preferred to spend a little bit more and stay safe. Do you think is a good product for doing the job? Do you suggest me something different? 2) looking for the battery replacement in case option 1) doesn't solve the issue. I'm aware of the fact that the start/stop car are using different types of batteries (EFP or AGM), and now, with all the electronics onboard, this part became more important than the engine 😅 so...personally speaking, I hope that a good charge will solve the issue, but I'm preparing myself for the worst case scenario 🙂 I found a coupled of websites that gives you the right spare parts depending on your car (for example, autodoc). It seems that my car is using a 70Ah/760A battery (dimensions in cm are 278x175x190), like the Exide EL700. But I wasn't able to check it directly on my car due to that cover on top. Anyway, I'll check it before ordering the spare part (if needed). Thank for the suggestions guys!

Hi guys! I have a 2019 1.5 TDI manual Skoda Scala, and my battery is dying. I was wondering to change it by myself but...I got stuck just at the beginning since I'm not able to remove it from the car 😅 A few questions: 1) Does anyone of you can give me some hints regarding the steps to follow? 2) Moreover, there's a sort of box with cables just on top of the battery (see pics) and I can't figure out how to remove it without breaking something.. 3) Any suggestions for keeping the car settings or to avoid damages? I read the manuals but I didn't find any particular advise 😐 Thank you!
