No, everything still works as I described in my post. I must say that I am relieved as I was definitely more than a little apprehensive when I started the job. I still occasionally press the button on the tailgate to close it, but 6 years of doing that is a hard habit to break.

Thanks both, I find it very hit, but more often miss

Does anyone out there know how the hand gesture control works? I have it switched on but when I move my hand across the screen nothing happens what am I doing wrong or not doing, any suggestions?

Cross Climates x 4 26,000 miles and as good as new.

Try listening under the glove box, because that's where the heater fan is mounted. If the noise is coming from there then you can fairly easily remove the fan housing and motor. Check on You tube for removal instructions. If the fan is "XXX" then replacements are available from Euro Car Parts. However if as you say the noise stops when the A/C is off then I would say the compressor/ bearings has gone. Again parts available from Euro Car parts and https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ both much cheaper then Skoda.

I have a 2013 l & K estate with an electric tailgate operator. Today it decided not to work, and it seems one [hopefully] of the struts is faulty. Has anyone experienced this problem before, if so what is the solution and what is the cost. Any ideas/sources for a replacement?

I have raised this question before, but I am suffering with the chrome on the push button part of my DSG gear knob peeling off. It has got worse over time, to the point where I have now had to file the chrome plating off the avoid cuts etc, and I hate the end result I have checked with Skoda and it seems the replacement knob is £100++'s , Skoda Parts have a listing for the Gearshift lever head for DSG automatic transmission, with cuff (leatherette).at 148,45 € incl. VAT . But, I have found this Chinese web site offering the knob with LED light indicators at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000194100570.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.5ec473ee6EXc5f&algo_pvid=e23f47aa-67df-4781-b22a-4ef73357a0e1&algo_expid=e23f47aa-67df-4781-b22a-4ef73357a0e1-0&btsid=0ab6f82415892156783221381e5de3&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ for ￡43.42 + Shipping: ￡7.99 .
