Electronic Gremlins - are we just unlucky?
Sounds like a lemon to me, I got my Scala Monte Carlo 1.5 tsi new back in June 2024, only problems I have had are small like false alerts saying indicator lights are not working which disappear on an engine restart.

Skoda Finance PCP
Thanks for the advice, Regarding money lost i meant with the 10k deposit I paid for car and 3k in rentals when the agreement is finished, handing the car back and having nothing seems a big hit to me even if I have had use of car for 3 years. Guess that's just life.

Skoda Finance PCP
I am just weighing up the options of then my finance agreement comes to an end in Feb 2027, i know still a way to go. I have never had a PCP before. if I just hand the car back does that mean all i have put into it is lost? i think by then i will have paid about £15000, also if you trade in for a new model your stuck with another Skoda but i dont really want another, can you just p/x with another manufacturer? I could just pay off the final payment so i can sell the car I guess but I think by that point the car wont even be worth that much, but i will check at the time. i did think of making some overpayments on car now but that could be just more wasted cash going into a car I doubt i will own.

LED Matrix Headlights
it seems to be fine when following a car, and when a car is coming towards me it seems to wait until the oncoming cars headlights are visible, I have tried it on near and far in the settings and still makes no difference. its a shame as i would rather leave it active it really does make country lane driving at night much better.

LED Matrix Headlights
No matter what sensitivity setting I put mine on I still get flashed by at least one or two people on every journey at nighttime its annoying as I really like this feature but I have had to resolve to disabling it and sing the old style main beam when needed, does anyone else have this problem?

New Scala Niggles
Same I miss my 2.0 TDI engine and I would of chosen that one in the Scala had they not discontinued it. Gave me a smile accelerating up hills. I almost feel my wife's 1.0 95bhp engine in her new ibiza feels faster and more responsive than the 1.5 scala after driving hers. I will definitely be trading in this car when PCP is up in 3 years.

New Scala Niggles
I don't use the in car sat nav or laura, I use waze on android auto. Not had any other niggles apart from air bag warning light comes on on still every time I start car. I don't mind the infotainment system the only things I don't like is no shortcut back to android auto if I have to say go into the radio menu or air con menu I then have to hit the menu button again and select android auto from there. Oh and still can't get use to the lack of power from the 1.5 engine.

Anyone know how to update radio station logos? I have found you can download them from skoda to copy to car but my car does not appear to have an sd card slot? Maybe connect a USB stick to one of the USB slots?

my 24 plate car has developed the air bag light fault now, it must have been sent through to the dealers as they called me earlier to book it in. I think I will just leave it now and wait till there is a software fix for it.
