Hi guys, I have searched the forum for answers and cant find any reference to this so apologies if it is answered already in another thread. I have a soon to be 4 year old Superb III and the air con is functioning really well in that it does push out cold air when required. The issue I have is that it is now being accompanied by a foul smell best described as being a bit "sour". The sour smell also lingers for a while when the Air Con is turned off. Has anyone else had this issue and how can i resolve it ? I am sure it is not unique to Skoda. Thanks.

Lads, wasn't the battery make or the type, it appears the key is just faulty. It is continually sending out an RF signal once a new battery is put in and that battery is dead within 48 hours. Does anyone know if that is something that can be fixed or am I looking at a new key from a dealership ?

NTA16 Thanks for the reply. It was actually Panasonic batteries that have been playing up. Also tried Energiser as well as duracell. 4 batteries in last 2 weeks (2 x Panasonic ,1 × energiser and 1 x duracell). Just hoping someone sees this post who might have a bit of knowledge or experience of the same issue.

I have a 2018 Sportline with a push button start. I have had issues for the last 2 weeks with my key fob. Got a message to replace the battery which I done. The battery I used had been in the car for a few months over the winter. Anyway, this battery was in place about a week and then the same message appeared to replace the key battery. Thought nothing much about it other than maybe the battery being in the car for months over the winter might have somehow degraded with the cold temperatures etc. This time I bought a new off the shelf battery (duracell 2032 3v) and replaced it on Wednesday. Today Sunday, I again got the replace the key battery. Does anyone know what the issue might be ? Just Unlucky with bad batteries ? Dodgy key fob ? Or something more sinister with the brain of the car ? Any tips of what I might be doing wrong would be appreciated.
