Sorry for my bad and thinking (not thinking more like) Karoq while posting and talking Kodiaq. So if a DQ381 it is supposedly a 80,000 mile service interval and not the usual @ 40,000 miles.

No service schedule or guidelines / recommendations ever if the OP,s Kodiaq is Front Wheel Drive with a DQ200 7 speed twin dry clutch DSG. So not an issue. The issue falls back to the cars history up to now and did a TPI cover the car for the Software Updates and if so we're they done when the car was in at a main dealers. The warranty should be sound regardless of what has or not been done. Funnily if an owner buys a Skoda Warranty and the car has not been serviced as per Manufacturers Recommendations they can make a song and dance and even say 'known issues'. Known by them yet an extended warranty was sold / mis-sold. 36172_SKODA_Approved_Used_Warranty_Dec20_SINGLES.pdf

5 year old and FMDSH does not mean serviced to manufacturer's recommendations even with a Skoda Approved Used car Warranty. That would show brake fluid change at 3 years and 5. Pollen filter twice etc etc. Cars with Haldex and wet clutch DSG, even get sold as Skoda Approved Used card at over 3 years old or over 40,000 miles,. That is no guarantee the Haldex was serviced at 30,000 miles or this DSG at 40,000 or brake fluid changed.

AA is the Skoda Assist responders. No need for Dealership contact if the Skoda Approved used car deal gives Skoda Assist cover. But you need to look at the deal as you got it. Skoda assist / As if there is cover can get someone out, read fault codes. Arrange recovery to a dealership and arrange a vehicle. Hire car delivered if required. Or you can wait til tomorrow and get proper customer service or not. Read the Skoda Approved Papers that should have been provided in hard copy or online.

Call Skoda assist.

Ask the information from the dealership. Or Skoda or tomorrow from the selling dealership. Get the full service and service campaign and warranty history. Maybe put the reg number up here and a member will know if it is a car they rejected or punted early. The threads are in this and other sections from 2018.

I read in the OP an approved used car bought in September. That is not out of warranty then. If Skoda Approved used then the Warranty was made valid by them even if the car had not been serviced to manufacturer's recommendations before a Dealership sold it.

Use the Skoda Approved Warranty and get any fault diagnosed. At a Skoda Approved repairer, so a Skoda main dealership. There is no servicing of a DQ200 DSG if the car is front wheel drive with this DSG. ? Did the car get the Service campaign software updates on the 1.5 TSI at any point! Was the DSG given a software update at any time? Was the car rejected by the first keeper as Sims where because of Engine and DSG issues?

? When was the soonest that the sales person reckoned they could get a new factory order delivered in if you had signed papers yesterday or is there no way they could even make a guess?

@TheWandererit would be good to know if they were prepared to do the deal with that value on the car if you said you wanted the Demonstrator you drove right away or after they can sell it at 3 months old or after 3,000 miles. End of the quarter is coming up quick and getting orders on new cars are not as good as getting ones registered and out the door but it is still something that a salesperson / boss wants.

Apparently so as we know having read this thread and the linked one.

@j caffBecause i have drive VW Group cars with DSG's and e-Brakes that did not need 'Autohold' on to have the e-Brake activate.

@Andy_Enyaq If they are a Skoda Specialist with licensed equipment they should have access to TPI's and possibly be able to do software updates. Best you ask a Skoda Main Dealer about the TPI's by giving the reg number / VIN. You should get assistance from Skoda if the car had Approved Repirer servicing at Dealerships as the issue is known, but then the issue needs correctly diagnosed. They would say it is Goodwill, or that they were not interested. As it is they might not have the slightest interest depending on the Skoda Specialist. You need to fond out if it is the MCU, or the Clutches or the MCU & Clutches. There is no Servicing Schedule or Recommendations / guidelines for a DQ200 DSG. If servicing had been done on the car in the past 5 years at a Skoda Main Dealers then any TPI's should have been known by the technician. A good Independent VW / Skoda Specialist should also know about them.

Good. They need to sell cars, they sell you a car and make money, and sell your car and make money. ? Do they have the car there you are buying for an immediate exchange of vehicles, or is it in transit or still needs to be built?

Have you switched off 'Autohold'? If so switch it back on and see what happens with the parking brake. Here the briskoda community have gone on to prove me wrong by showing that the e-brake / parking brake will not automatically apply if Autohold has been switched off. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/502666-electric-parking-brake

Scotland's highest are near the bus depots or the biggest bus gathering areas and a few streets with high buildings, narrow roads and bus stops and lots of gridlocked traffic. Maybe even with bus lanes. Similar roads for gridlock traffic but without being on bus routes seem not to feature on the high pollution lists. https://news.stv.tv/scotland/campaign-group-reveals-scotlands-most-polluted-streets https://bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-52485383

The car is not that smart as to pre heat / cool the car when it is locked up. (There are such cars now though.) So as @john999boysaid, or the car had a brain fart, or as some say is not possible but is, another vehicle sent a signal, taxi, utilities or similar. It was a road work crews van that opened the windows on my Alhambra. Still hoping to find what sets my car back to factory settings & means i have to use a key to open the door, which has happened when i park near the A77 at a certain spot and only there.

Every time you want it off which will be every time you turn the car on if you find it such a hateful thing. Not all are the spawn of the devil or super sensitive IME.

It has QFZ showing.

Did they do a software update while the car was plugged in and checking what software was on for the DSG and any fault codes? What matters here is how common since 2015 and by 2017, and this is different from those 2009-2015. ????????? Who did the diagnosis was it at the main dealership? ? Have they checked the TPI's regarding a 2017 DQ200 DSG? Be careful where people want lots of money to just replace parts that might not require replacing. Ignore the TPI's on the Pre 2015 DQ200 DSG's, you want to know about the 2015 on built boxes. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/439395-the-story-of-the-famous-dq200-clutch-slip/page/13 There is a TPI on the DQ200's from this age. Skoda / VW issued these because of the known issues. (After the Service campaigns covering 2009-2012's and 2013's-2015, those are 34F7 started in 2014 and 34H5 started in 2017. ) There is software updates and clutch update for some DQ200's from 2015 to 2017. Be sure the people doing it are experienced with DQ200 DSG repairs.

^^^ They are the high polluters, be that local service busses, but they do carry plenty people or sometimes none while sitting idling, then there is the intercity coaches and then there is the HGV's but they need to deliver stuff. But then Perth has been going to be a Green Hub for a long time now, there has been plenty EU money accepted to make it so. The EV charging hub expansion is happening now on the edge of Perth and you have to pay to park in town at EV chargers. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/perth-kinross/652313/plan-lodged-for-low-carbon-transport-hub-for-perth/ https://urbanforesight.org/latest/funding-success-for-low-carbon-transport-hubs/

Perth & Kinross Councillors are on the no sitting idling high horse again. So once in law / by-law people need to be aware, especially councillors, council vehicles, parking / traffic wardens, police drivers etc as well as the general driving public. If going to the effort of issuing a NIP then surely £20 a time is not nearly high enough even if all the income goes to the administration of it and chasing up the offenders that do not pay. About 4 years since they started going on about Crieff being one of the first towns to have introduced. They are very quick at mouthing off and very slow at taking action. So a last hoorah for some that will be punted from the gravy train that some are on. **Scottish Councillor elections are on the 5th May 2022.** https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/perth-kinross-drivers-who-leave-26498980 We will see the T&C's of the exclusions for 'De-frosting / deicing vehicles. Between what dates, maybe September to April only, what the ambient temperature has to be, is there visibly ice on the inside or outside of the glass of a vehicle ??

Yes it will.

I know it will. Hence my question to the OP in my first post. & It will apply the e-brake even if Autohold is not on.

Welcome. See what @J.R.did when he exported a Yeti from the UK / Europe to France / Europe.
