Thanks for that info. I don't recall having experienced it on the test drive of the Sportline diesel we tried before we bought the car either. I would like to get a test drive in another of the same again. The dealer didn't have one available last time. Thanks again.

Thanks. Seems it's not common then!

Thanks for that BeeTee. I can't be persuaded that a metal clunking sound is normal. If it was my old Cortina making the same it would be a new shock for sure. I don't think there should be metal on metal. I'm convinced it is either faulty or incorrectly installed. I don't understand why Skoda are so averse to investigating. Good luck with your replacements, it's not an option that is open to me really.

Thanks for your replies. It will be going back again shortly. Skoda explicitly stated in their correspondence to ignore everything else VAG as it did not apply to them. I drove a Superb with DCC and had no noise. At that time the dealer had no other like models in to drive to compare, but Skoda gave them a get out of jail card. I still believe it is a manufacturing fault, I can't believe that an expensive 2025 car would have clanging shocks built in as a feature.

The car was brand new. As I stated above, the dealer has had it back, acknowledged the problem but were prevented from going further by Skoda UK. I am about to take it back again , would like to see if anyone else had similar issues with DCC.

The car was brand new in May. It is still under warranty. The noise was there from new. The dealer acknowledged it when it was reported to them, they checked all suspension and steering components and anti-roll bars, but were de-railed by the intervention from SKoda UK Customer Services. I'm about to go back to the dealer. I am trying to find out if anyone else has had a similar problem. I've only done 7,000 miles.

Hi. Had the car since May 25. Always been a knocking sound like metal on metal from the front suspension when driving over bumps in the road. It sounds a bit like an old worn shock absorber on a car from the past. The dealer identified and acknowledged the unusual sound but were unable to identify the cause. I contacted Skoda UK customer services who were generally pretty unhelpful. The did supply the dealer with a copy of a page from an internal powerpoint presentation which revealed that a knocking noise from DCC on Kodiaqs was a "characteristic". They also said I should ignore any similar issues (of which there appear to be many) with other VAG models. with DCC. At that point, the dealer said "nothing can do". Other than this, the car is great and drives well, but this does spoil our pleasure in driving it. Before I take up the issue again with the dealer I was wondering if anyone else had similar problems and a more positive response from their dealer or Skoda UK
