SuperbGrey

I have a personal phone and a work phone. The issue did reappear, probably a few times now. If the car boots up and its decided its not going to work this time... android auto is cooked (it just unresponsively black screens on that tab of the display) on both phones til you lock the car and walk away. A little more testing reveals it is indeed the s25 causing the issue. Work provide an A series phone and that runs reliably. Ive relinquished use of streaming music use during the work week, it burns too much data on the work phone even on low rate settings. I'd rather have waze be available every time. What next? I don't know. Skoda and google/ Samsung are in a position to point at each other at this point, if you were to complain about it. Fortunately its only annoying, rather than disastrous. Hope it gets sorted tho!

Touch wood, 'forgetting' the phone and repairing it seems to have resolved. New fandangled oneUI7 doesn't, apparently, tell you anymore when its pushing an update, I suspect it might have wobbled after one of those pushed.

Since Monday, I'm intermittently getting some sort of connection error to Android auto. The phone is connected, I can take and make calls. I get some odd error messages and I can't get any apps to work - in fact I just get a black screen for android auto. At which point, you can only clear that by total reboot, ie by stopping the car, getting out, and locking it for a while. Killing the connection at the phone end (putting it in aeroplane mode) is no help- the car thinks it's still connected. All of which is annoying as the commute home is usually assisted by Google maps nav, and music streaming service. Anyone else had this? I got a new phone at the start of the month but its been trouble free up to the last few days.

Generally positive results with mine. It's near on 2 months now since the fix update and nothing outrageous to report, nearly nothing at all. 4k on the clock now. A pity the honeymoon period was compromised, but it was parked in the winter sun the other day and I got in to a fresh bloom of new car smell. Which was nice. Ive thought about writing a longer review at some point, the good and the bad (good is winning comfortably, I reckon). I did have a phantom triggering of the crash function, but that's only happened once. Maybe its a feature? So if you are about to very imminently get totalled by a white van man then you, have at the least, already experienced the cars preemptive safety functions? Maybe?!

Touch wood... after 10 days ish post recall fix and return, I now haven't been dinged at, at all, for several days. No commuting this week but theres been a bit of short range travelling around seeing the fam, mrs wanted to go shopping, we needed a post christmas tip run etc. Everything currently works and it's done it all with aplomb Touch wood, again.

Mine was in for just shy of a week under recall. Software didn't take at first, there was mention of swapping the camera unit which suggests thats what the error messages were pointing at. They got the software in on Tuesday but apparently the technician's software also needed to be updated in order to put in the car software. I think they said it was something like 6 hours to load in - possibly something to do with it being done over the Internet from some cloud server thing at Skoda (guessing). The other comment was that they had 2 Elroqs and another Superb in for the same thing this week so it's clearly affecting a number of cars. In 50 miles or so we have a clean-ish bill of health, touch wood. The dash has still dinged a couple of times with something about 'front sensor' but that clears itself promptly. I don't think it's fixed but it is, at least, better than it was. The 12v nonsense appears to have gone. I don't want a courtesy car over Christmas so it's going to get chance to sort itself out. Its a bloody good car when it works and I love how it looks, but I wonder if I'll ever really trust the damn thing. We'll see, I guess.

Mine went under the knife yesterday. There were complications on the operating table. There's a progress bar and it sounds like there's some kind of time-remaining feedback on the laptop, but further it went the longer the timer got. So started at 3 hours but by close was at 8.. it sounds like they've left it on overnight, anyway. Hoping to hear back today.

I bought a generic in the end, off amazon. The bumper flap isn't a thing. I mean, there is one, but the material is mostly spoken for by the hilariously long boot floor. The mk4 does differ from the mk3. There was a made to measure firm in or around Nottingham, I think, who were interested in using mine to create a new cutting template. They offered me a chunky discount. Trouble is, they need your car all day to measure it up, make and then fit it to check and probably take product photos. I don't know how one would fill a day in Nottingham, without a car.

Pleased to report a visit to a dealer last week cured the issues... but not for long. I'm not sure if this should be it's own thread but 12v issues all the time are now said to be a known issue with a run of duff batteries. I've had a new one. Not going to say that issue is conclusively fixed yet, but it's stopped dinging at me all the time. It's only been 2 days tho. Dealer had also cleared the christmas tree on the dash. By chance I'd ignored the software update the screen had offered me since I got it back. Wondering if it was *the solve*, I accepted it at lunch time when i went for a butty. I got back in it to drive home from work... and this software update has immediately bricked it, again. Perhaps dealer ought to have told me to ignore the software update prompt? Thankfully the dealers have offered to quickly fix it, again, while I wait, whenever I can get to them. Which is good of them. In the meantime if you've got a working car and it offers you software version 3.7.21... ignore it at all costs!

Just to update but besides my 12v power issue, which I'm now totally ignoring... I now have all of the camera module fault symptoms and a bunch of driving aids have switched themselves off. IME, building a good reputation takes months and years. Destroying it can be radically faster. I'm putting up with the nonsense so long as I get from A to B in safety and relative comfort, but this is a real mess.

Now with photos 😀

I've been thinking about this too. Does seem odd, doesn't it? How many versions of software can there be? 🤔 it makes me wonder if there's at least partly a hardware/ component issue here. The other variable is the car models I guess. If anyone wants to compare notes, mine is a 2.0tdi 150hp SE hatchback. Totally standard base spec. Touch wood, after a long ride out last week the problem hasn't gone but it's possibly lessened. Maybe I'm just getting used to it? In general, I'm up to 1400 miles now and, ironically, given the occasional/ usually inappropriate 'drive more carefully' telling off I get from the dashboard, we're out of run in period and thus I've returned to a normal less coddling driving style. Not sure if that's helped it? I've nothing scientific to back this but I definitely feel like the rush hour stop-start of traffic makes my issues worsen. I can't not commute, tho! Out if interest, has anyone here definitely got a 100% trouble-free car?

If useful to pool information on this topic. Work trip today, 225 miles. Her first chance to shine on a good run. Various systems error messaged and deactivated themselves about 20 miles in. Various continuing error messages thereafter. The gearbox was threatening to drop out of the car about every 60 seconds at one point- tho actual car behaviour and performance remained spot on, so far as I could gather. I eventually stopped for breakfast on the M40 and when i came back to it, all the issues had gone, and didn't come back. Except the nonsense about the 12V supply, which persists. If the battery is genuinely flagging, theres no way a drive that long isn't going to get it more or less full, imo. It doesn't behave like you might expect a duff battery, in terms of any electronics systems in or on the car. Maybe it's own thread.. but do any other lease customers get a 'cool' reception from their local Skoda dealers? I've been offered, once again, a dealer appointment, locally. Skoda (VWFS) have booked it on my behalf. It's over a month away. Same dealer told me they were treating me as a low priority, basically, because I hadn't bought the car off them. I honestly wasn't expecting that.

I wasn't sure whether to start a post about this, so I've put this here as it sounds like it might be related. Got a decent car, so far, by and large. Except, on day of delivery. Fault light on dash 'Error: 12v supply. Please visit workshop'. Came and went, really quick. I thought nothing of it, I just made a mental note. Maybe just a loose make in a contact somewhere? So I thought... In days and weeks following, similar story. It'd pop up, sporadically, go again, and all fine. I did contact Skoda the first time it showed me a 'please drive more carefully' message instead. I was stopped at idle when that one appeared. Besides that I'm a 40-something driving a grey diesel Skoda in it's running-in period. I can't drive any more carefully than I already, very naturally, do. Skoda told me to contact a dealer for service. After an mount of back and forth, it went to dealer on Monday 18th October. On Sunday 17th, there was a pronounced escalation where I'd had a lot of the symptoms described in this thread, apparently all systems simultaneously reporting faults. I drove to the dealer with the engine management light on. Which was actually quite welcome as I thought there's no way they'll dispute that there's an issue, now. Dealer told me he just charged up the battery to cure it, and he thought it might have been allowed to run dead flat at some point in its short life. They'd read various things off it with a laptop, and it was said to be fine. So off i went and all seemed well. By Friday 22nd, the problem came back. Same script as previous. The fault/ error comes and goes, usually quickly. I drive it daily. 3 return trips to the office per week at 45 mins each way (including motorway) and usually shorter trips between those. I've never had battery recharging issues in any car before, from this kind of mixed use. The problem persists today after a 3 hour ish round trip at motorway speeds so the battery should have had some dose of recharge in that, right? I want to say that in better health the car had a better sense of 'waft' to it. A sense of effortlessness in pootling along with traffic. There's a grittiness to the driving experience (maybe a less slick/ smooth transmission, amongst other things), that left for a couple of days and appears to now be back. I'm 50/50 if this is my imagination or not. Anyway. What's this? Battery problem, that naff cable make? Something else? There are VW forums where people describe similar 'nightmares' with symptoms like this. Any similar experiences? I'm going to talk to Skoda again on Monday.

Saying hello! I've only been in a couple of times but signed up today. I'm a new Skoda owner, I've leased a Superb off VWFS. I wasn't really looking for a Skoda, but there was a 'superb' deal there and, a little bit of research later, it seemed pretty much unmissable. It's the first new-new car I've ever had, besides a company car I had a few years ago (somehow that doesn't count?). I had a lot of encouraging comments, while waiting for it, from various car-trade people that a Skoda was a shrewd choice. At time of writing I'm about a month/ 700 miles in. Generally very, very pleased and impressed with it, except... well you might read about that in the owners forum Thanks for having me :) I'll probably, mainly, lurk.
