Hi everyone! I’m new here, and following this thread with interest. My late-2024 1.5 MHEV (non-DCC) has the same hollow knocking noise. After numerous visits with various attempts to resolve the issue (including changing the top mounts and applying copious amounts of grease to the potential problem areas), the Skoda workshop replaced my steering rack. Like everyone here, the issue was only temporarily resolved, with the knocking sound returning after 2 weeks. Skoda is now saying that this is a ‘normal operational noise’. The Skoda dealership where I’m based (Singapore) is directly owned by the Volkswagen Group. I’d have expected much better technical competence and ability to rectify faults, but that is not the case at all!
