Hi i don't know if anyone out there has had similar experience who can help point me in the right direction. I got the car just over a year ago and absolutely love most aspects of the car, about a month in it stopped accepting a charge via the cable so i booked it into my local garage (which takes a weekish as i need courtesy car as its a company car), over the week or so i was waiting i had some odd glitches in the systems but nothing major, then a day or so before i was due to take the car in to be looked at, it completely bricked over night, i couldn't even unlock it, AA turn up, the 12v battery is completely drained, he jumps it, everything starts up as normal he tells me to run the engine for 30 to 40 mins to put some charge into the battery, all good. Drive the car straight to Skoda as i have an appointment the next morning, tell them what's happened they take a look and obviously say there is nothing they can identify as an issue. Last week into this week, exactly the same process repeated Stops Accepting Charge 🔽 Weird But Not Serious Glitches (like not displaying album art)🔽 Bricks with totally trained battery 🔽 Jump from AA🔽 Fine🔽 Garage cant find anything wrong😡 Has anyone had anything that resembles this that I can suggest to the garage? Obviously i would like this sorted whatever it as i fear the next time wont be on my drive. Thanks for any pointers.

very frustrating

Turned my car on last night to drive home from work and my radio favourites have gone, i checked to see my profile was logged in an it was. Noting else has changed.... Any ideas where they gone 😁

thanks for your help, lets hope it loosens up a little going forward.

Sorry new question 😀, i went on my first longish run for work today, i set off with 90% charge and did about 170miles an got 51mpg overall, is that typical from the IV? i was expecting more tbh. Also i was using the sat nav an a weird squiggly lasso line was cast out Infront of the route of the car on the screen. Any idea what that's all about? thanks again for your help.

Thanks for your help, it seems to happen much more often than it ever used to in my Superb, maybe its the different location. thanks for your help.

Thank you so much, is that the on/off button of the infotainment system or of the car itself?

2. Thanks i have seen a setting somewhere about the logos but i will take another look, the only reason i assumed i would have to upload them is they didn't appear on my previous Skoda's either for some reason. 3. Thanks for the link i will check it out. 4. I did not know that 😁 thanks i will investigate.

Hi long term lurker here, i have had a string of Skoda company cars and my 4th came last week, a branch new Octavia Estate VRS IV which i am very excited about (my first VRS), i am generally very happy with the car but i have some questions, this is my first hybrid and i feel like there is such a huge step change in how the works an how complicated the system is even compared to my last Superb. So for the first time i have resorted to asking strangers for help on the internet. 1) At one point on startup the screen just asked me to be patient, it wouldn't let me do anything with the main menu so i couldn't force it to use the engine, it let me drive but not do anything with the menu, so it discharged the battery luckily then it kicked the engine in but i was so paranoid it was just going to run out of charge and stop. I got out and locked the car an go back in an it was still the same. I got home and charged it up for an hour an then it was fine. It hasn't happened again. What should i have done? 2) Is there any way to upload the missing radio station logos? On my previous Skoda's it was easy via the SD card but it doesn't seem to work off the USB C ports? 3) My biggest issue so far is my music, i used to have my music on the SD card, i had a bunch of folders with albums in and then a folder that i called my "mixed folder" which had over a thousand folders in with just singles in. So i could shuffle my mixed folder or play an album, 99% of album art showed up, mostly i had manually saved a "folder.jpeg" file for the art, all good. However on the new system as well as it not just being able to play my "mixed folder" only the vast majority of album art isn't showing up... what's happened? 4) Does anyone else have issues where the main info screen keeps changing between different screens by its own volition? 5) Why is my "Front Assist" often unavailable? 6) When i turn off an leave the car, there is a orange symbol in the cluster which has 3 lines on it, any idea what this is all about? Thanks for your help
