I can't tell from the image but a search on Autotrader for that model and year shows 106 petrol and only 18 diesel. My guess would be it's a petrol. Assuming that you are UK based, why don't you check the registration number on the DVLA website. That is accurate so you'll find out for sure.

You're very welcome !!

I had these on a previous Kodiaq. An over enthousiastic car detailer decided to sponge dry the door frames and ripped one from the door. It never did refit properly. Personally, they're a waste of time and I suspect Skoda think the same - they're no longer an option on any Kodiaq model in the UK.

Dynamic Drive Mode is part of Drive Mode Select which in turn comes with DCC. I don't think the first two are available separately. My current car is my fifth Kodiaq. An SE, 2 x L&K, an SEL (with no DCC - big mistake and I got shot of it after only 6 months) all diesels. I dealt with Henrys Skoda in Glasgow for all 5 and almost without asking got 2 x free services, mud flaps all round, fabric floor mats, rubber boot liner and registration plates suitable for use in Europe (Union Flag and the letters UK). Best advice I can give you is ask around about dealerships, check their after sales service, find a good one and stick with them. The good ones will value return business. The bad ones (and they are out there) couldn't give a f*** ! Good hunting Sammycarp.

As far as I'm aware the car should have adaptive cruise control as standard. Predictive/Adaptive cruise control can be specified at the time of ordering but after delivery is only available as a subscription/function on demand or a one-off purchase. The necessary hardware is already in place but needs to be activated with over the air software. Using the DVLA system I checked a few of the EU74BVx registration range and they all seem to be 2.0 litre diesel models. Possibly allocated to the Skoda press fleet or a bulk order for a large main dealership. I have a 2025 Sportline with the 190 diesel engine. I strongly recommend you go for one with Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC). This will give you drive options such as eco, normal, sport and individual. It makes a massive positive difference to the handling of the car. DCC does not come as standard on the SEL model but is available as an option.

This is due to the electronic system 'priming' itself for immediate operation. It's called the 'Hydraulic System Control' unit and it is checking brake pressure to ensure correct operation of collision avoidance systems and auto hold. It is perfectly normal and I suspect it is prevalent across the entire Skoda range of models.

Many thanks for this Warrior193. With all the other comments on here I was beginning to doubt whether I had direct or indirect TPMS. I saw the pressure drop on the left rear tyre notification quite clearly. I have since examined the TPMS menu on the infotainment screen and the car does not disclose individual tyre pressures. I clearly have an indirect TPMS system.

Thanks for this. I don't have an OBDII device but the car is due its first service later this month. I'll ask the dealership to check.

Presuming you intend N to indicate Nitrogen, this is not generally available in the UK. In the case of the puncture the TPMS system indicated the nearside rear tyre. This indication appeared in the virtual dash screen as a yellow tyre symbol. In the case a few days ago the indication appeared in the same location but was more general, only a loss of pressure. The system does not show individual tyre pressures, but on resetting the tyre to the correct pressures today I saw a message to the effect that all tyres were set at the recommended specification. In your case I suggest you press the car symbol in the infotainment screen top right, then press car symbol bottom left, and you will see a screen which allows you to check that the pressures are with 'tolerance' and reset them if necessary. If you don't see this option I'd conclude that your car is not fitted with a TPMS facility.

Well spotted Krukru. I have a 2025 2.0 Kodiaq Sportline Diesel. A few days before Chistmas 2025 I saw a message from the TPMS that detected a loss of pressure on the nearside rear tyre. Prior to this I had not appreciated how accurate and detailed the TPMS system could be. I immediately drove to a filling station and discovered that I had indeed suffered a puncture in that tyre from what looked like an industrial nail or screw. Owing to the time of year I was not immediately able to do much to resolve the situation but over the next few days, again from the TPMS system, I noticed that there was no further loss of pressure noted. In effect, the intrusive object had in effect 'plugged the leak' in the tyre. Rather than drive at speed with a plugged/repaired tyre, I elected to replce the tyre with a new one of the exact same specification as that fitted at factory. I collected my car from the Dealership in early March 2025. Now into February 2026 I received another message from the TPMS advising a loss of pressure but without any indication of which tyre was affected. At this point I have to come clean and admit that I hadn't checked my tyre pressures once since delivery. Today I inflated all tyres to the recommended pressures and reset them using the app on the infotainment screen and all is now well. Much has been said on these forums (should that be fora) on the unreliability of modern electronic devices fitted to cars in the 21st century. I cite my own case as a rebuttal of that criticism. When these systems work as intended thay are a boon to motoring and ownership. What say all of you ?

Hi all. Just a question at this stage. How often do you check your tyre pressures? I have a reason for asking this apparently innocuous question !

The car was rushed to market so Skoda could claim to be ahead of the net zero mandate. Inadequate testing and poor implementation of the various assistance systems. There are many complaints on here about the IV/PHEV versions. I would expect major recalls any time soon.

It's certainly not obvious to me. I still don't get your point "the OP is talking PHEV". A PHEV still has an internal combustion engine capable of producing emissions and liable (in certain circumstances) for an undue idling offence. Perhaps you're simply trying to be argumentative - are You ???

"but because the OP is talking PHEV" Explain please.

I was trying to keep the post brief but to the point and not do a full discourse on all the exclusions, ifs and buts. You're the only one to mention Private Ground !!

Moreover, in the UK, idling is an offence under The Road Traffic Act 1988 Section 42. And yes, you guessed correctly it's to do with air pollution.

I have a 20l Diesel Kodiaq Sportline 190 bhp, new in March 2025. In particularly cold weather in Glasgow (between 2C and -6C) I've noticed that on occasion the lock/unlock feature doesn't work but a press of the button on the front door handles works perfectly. My previous car, a 2022 2.0l Diesel Kodiaq L&K, behaved exactly the same in the same atmospheric conditions. Has anyone else experienced the same? I can't really say it's a problem since it happens so infrequently, it's merely an irritation.

What ???

I understand that KESSY places a strain on the keyfob battery so that would suggest that the battery will need to be replaced more often. Given the ease with which the battery can be replaced, and the low cost of the battery itself, this is not a deal breaker. Deactivating the KESSY system is akin to throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I can't help you any further.

A quick search on Google suggests that this is a known issue, essentially due to the inherent imbalance of running a 4 cylinder engine on only 2 cylinders. Worn engine and/or transmission mounts are one probable cause. Another probable cause is that when running in 2 cylinder mode the exhaust frequency changes causing the exhaust system to vibrate against heat shields. Thus exhaust hangers, heat shields and connections should be checked for integrity. On some VAG cars a loose wastegate rod can cause rattling which can feel like vibration and in cars with direct injection (like the VW 1.5 TSI) carbon buildup on the intake valves can cause rough operation when in 2 cylinder mode. Bearing in mind the high mileage on the subject car in this post, carbon buildup seems a quite likely cause of the problem. The ACT system relies on oil pressure to activate the solenoids that disable the cylinders. If oil pressure is low, or if the oil control valve is sticking, the cylinders may not deactivate/reactivate smoothly. Depending on the car model driving in sport mode disables the ACT but obviously this is a workaround rather than a solution. Given the diverse nature of the possible causes it is not at all surprising that 'qualified' mechanics have thus far been unable to determine the exact cause. Good luck Brian15 - I think you'll need it !!

From your pevious replies I would hesitate to call you naive. I don't believe for a second this is a feature (it would be the most pointless ever). This is clearly a defect. Whether it affects only a limited number of vehicles is not to the pont, it is still a defect which Skoda has been advised of. In true 21st century corporate behaviour it will not publicly admit to the defect but will fob cutomers off with any old excuse under the sun until the real technicians do some proper testing and remedy the fault, or until a significant number of car owners begin to reject their cars under Consumer Protection legislation and tell the general public through social media of the reasons why.

Does the car have a full service history? I agree with Warrior193. Something other than ACT is at the root of the problem.

With the greatest of respect I think you place too much faith in Skoda Dealerships and in users manuals (which in many respects are no real use). I'm convinced PHEV and pure electric Skodas have been rushed to market, without adequate systems testing, just to show the world that Skoda are ahead of the Zero emissions mandate.

It's because of the battery which sits where the third of seats would be.
