My 2025 Kodiaq 2.0 litre Diesel Sportline is not even 1 year old. A couple of weeks ago I got a message on the dash advising a drop in pressure on the nearside rear tyre. i pulled into a service station to re-inflate the tyre, and as luck wouldn't have it, I saw immediately a machine screw or nail protruding from the tyre tread. This was at the beginning of the holiday season and I decided not to go far. I checked over the next few days and surprisingly when I checked the pressures it told me all were within specified range. Clearly the screw/nail was providing a seal against further pressure loss. Then my dilemma. It's a heavy but powerful car. I tend to drive 'spiritedly' and regulary travel to France and Germany on holiday trips. Would I be completely comfortable at Autobahn speeds with a repaired rear tyre? Wiser counsel prevailed and I got in touch with Black Circles who offered the exact same brand and size of tyre to be fitted at a local garage near me. The job was completed this morning and I have nothing but praise for Black Circles and also the local tyre fitting place. Perfect service in this day and age !! I can't recommend them highly enough.

I routinely turn lane assist off every time I start the car. The way in which the steering is jerked when you stray out of lane is quite disturbing.

Opinions are like arseholes. Everybody has one.

Read my post again. Did I say it is correct? You clearly have a beef about something you can't change. Even King Canute, in his pretend experiment to his courtiers, couldn't turn the waves back. If banging your head against a brick wall hurts you - just stop. Simples !!

And you honestly think that Skoda are alone in this practice? It is now commonplace.

I understand the most common reason is blocked drain channels. I don't have a pan roof but there must be some way of deflecting/discharging accumulated rain water.

No. It is not a cheap trick by Skoda. The cost of raw materials, electricity, labour wages etc have all risen and Skoda is no more immune from these rising costs than any other manufacturer. Over the past 12 - 18 months Skoda have indeed been increasing retail sales prices but keeping these in line with sales figures and a genuine desire to offer good value. In the Mk2 Skoda Kodiaq DCC was a priced option in all of the base model specs. It wasn't taken away. Only in the Sportline model and above was DCC included and indeed those rising costs probably forced Skoda to drop the L&K version. It would probably have breached £60,000 with full spec choices.

Absolutely correct. This has worked on every Kodiaq I've owned (5).

I've had three 2.0 litre diesel Kodiaqs all with DCC, 20, 22 and 25 plate. My current car is the sportline model. I have never experienced the reported issue in any of the cars.

I refer to my original posting re heated mirrors. I'm pleased to report I've solved the issue. I normaly drive in Eco mode, so I tried to apply a bit of Czech logic. Eco is about saving, so why not battery saving. The mirror heaters don't work when in Eco mode - they do work perfectly in all other modes - Doh !!!

The control in your image is quite different to mine and I don't think I can move my control past the heating symbol as in your image. In all 4 of my previous Kodiaqs the control lined up perfectly with the heating symbol. I'll give a go though. Thanks for your response.

Please see my previous reply.

Thanks for your response. I have tried using both the mirror control and the heated rear screen function - neither gets the mirrors heated. I suspect there are fuses missing (apparently there are two, one for each side) or they are both blown (unlikely perhaps). It's not a major problem so I think I'll just leave it until first service in March 2026.

Bought new on PCP, March 2025. Just noticed with the cold weather that the heated door mirror function is not working.
