Thank you nta16, I will probably just mention it to dealer when I get the call asking if I was happy with the work done there , probably on Monday. When I dropped off car nobody came and did a walk round to check for marks they just took keys and sent me on my way. And the car park is so tight there and it was raining when I picked up so I wasn’t going to walk round and inspect whole car. I have owned cars for past 35 years and everyone I have owned has picked up dents at some point being parked in public car parks it’s just one of those things I guess, as you said I could pay for it to be removed myself but Sod’s Law would just get another dent parked elsewhere at some point, so will probably just live with it but still mention to them when I get call. I once picked up a brand new golf Gt back in 2006 and within a month someone cut the hedge along side when I use to leave it for work and scrapped the hedge cutter alongside the rear side panel!

I had my car in for its second annual service yesterday at main Skoda dealership, and today I noticed it had a small dent on right front wheel arch, i guess there is nothing you can do as it’s been some 18 hours now since I collected, this definitely happened while,there as I had not used the car since I last washed it and would of noticed it then 100%. It could have happened when parked in there car park by another member of public slamming there door into it I guess in there car park. Do you think i will just have to take a hit now and live with it or still worth complaining? Attached photos

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.

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.

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.

Oh I see, sorry me being an idiot then and not reading the manual!

This is settings I have, I have tried all three and doesn't seem to make any difference.

I will take a photo of the settings menu when i get back home later

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.

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?

I checked mine when warm and it's 750rpm it's only 1000rpm when starting from cold

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.

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.

ignore above it was me being stupid, all working good now!

I bought these bulbs to but I'm sure they don't fit my Scala the 2 pins look much wider that my original ones, how do you get the old bulb out the plastic housing does it just slide?
