Get things fixed during the Warranty and if they are not correctly fixing the problem do not allow Skoda UK who was the importer or the dealership that did the work to just wash their hands of it. If the car was poorly built and not fit for purpose and continues to be the same after 3 years then use the law available to you. Work & Parts that is done during the cars Manufacturer Warranty period is only covered up to the 3 years in the UK. So unless you pay something towards it you really need to buy a Extended Warranty. Pathetic, but how it is, read the Warranty T&C's. Just because Skoda UK have it in their T&C's does not mean a Small Claims court will let them away free.

@widdershins Will Skoda have the Software working correctly for every function before the Enyaq gets delivered to customers?

2010 was fantastic, weeks of snow on the roads from October til Christmas, low temps and fun fun fun.

VW Group at least have type approved and functioning small EV's with the Up!MiiCitigo electrics. Seems they should be doing more of these and getting them on the road rather than rushing out the bigger EV's and Mild or Plug in Hybrids with snagging faults and downright software failings. They are causing the paying customers time wasting & expense just to save VW Group paying penalties because they are not going to meet lower emissions. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/electric-cars/analysis-winners-and-losers-automotive-co2-race

You can go out with good front tyres on a FWD car and rag a car around a car park, road or where ever and swing the back end around even with the hand brake on. You can not do much just driving on a road normally with ABS if you touch the brakes and the car just skids on. Taking worn tyres off the rear of a car and fitting those to the front and new ones on the rear of a FWD car can be a very big mistake. Just say no! Do not fit crap tyres to your vehicle or leave ones on when getting just a pair of new tyres.

So easy really for English Speakers in the UK to tell the customer across the desk that they have become aware of a 'Software update' which is applicable to the customers vehicle. If there was more trust between Dealerships and customers it would be 'Simply Clever'. Somehow that seems to not be learned over all the decades of Skoda being part of the VW Group.

Some full and part time Service Desk & Service Managers in Main Dealers should know better by now and explain better to the customers what is being done and why, but first they would need to be told themselves. That would lead to less confusion and owner / drivers having to learn about stuff on the social media.

? How many staff in how many dealerships are there saying they are contacting Skoda CZ? Skoda CZ know exactly what the state of the software was as the cars came off the production line. 'Simply Clever' to treat customers like 'Mushrooms'. Keep in the dark and shovel with crap!

@farty just get out and do the driving winter after winter in various vehicles and see how it goes. All the experts and all the tyres in the world are right until they are wrong. Get a car on a road with a camber and not some skid pad. Just do not fit sh!te tyres to cars you or others drive and especially the cars you look after for loved ones.

Not strange if already carried out and on the system as done. Strange is it applies to others cars and it does not show when they put in their VIN. Not a Recall, & i wish Skoda Dealership staff would learn the difference, if they do not recall vehicles.

It would be a Recall Action / Service Campaign action that was done if the car happened to be in a got it done. If it is a Recall then Registered Keepers should be informed regardless of if they use main dealerships for servicing. There needs to be more openness and less 'Skoda Secret Service Service Campaigns'. http://skoda-auto.com/services/recall-actions

@farty What tyres did you go for in the end and was it the best tyres on the rear because the good lady is better with over steer rather than under steer?

No way Jose will it take til 2025 before VW Group turn out something new that is smaller than a ID.3 that is a full EV. They need the average emissions down and kidology with 1.0 & 1.5 TSI hybrids will not cut it. As it is the e-Up!, Mii Electric and the discontinued Citigo iV's are pretty damn good.

Main Dealerships are not always that more expensive than e-bay / amazon, some are sellers on there. Local Motor Factors, TPS etc are a good idea. Or there are Parts Sellers / Stockists that are Briskoda Sponsors. There is a section and a thread someplace about a Parts Seller that discounts.

The real issue with Heko products for buyers in the UK is the Postage / Delivery this year has been more than the product you are buying because the UK left the EU. It is good when a UK supplier has the product already in stock, maybe old stock.

Better grip at the rear on a FWD car or one with Haldex is as much use as a chocolate fire guard as you skid into a strainer post or dry stain dyke when the front tyres hit the ice, mud, gravel, surface water, oil or what ever that you never knew was there or that you were driving at around a bend. Many drivers have never dealt with under steer or over steer and known what it was or how to deal with it. Maybe just they know to steer into a skid, or not, or just shut their eyes. Having grip at the tyres that steer & put down the drive does help getting the back end in line if it is trying to overtake you. Many have no idea that the ESP is nipping at the back brakes when it is. Safest thing is do not run around with crap tyres at either end of a vehicle or on any corner and that might mean do not have summer tyres on a car in wet or cold weather unless you are being very very careful.

@mandp Maybe you miss the point. I understand perfectly. If you have more vehicles than another speeder you pay more again and again and again. Not because the Law / Courts deem you should, just because the Insurers can take more cash / money from you. Next door neighbours driving identical cars, clean licences are caught speeding. Both get 3 points and £100 fine for speeding and one has 1 car in their name and 1 insurance policy and their insurance is loaded, the other has the car, a works van, a motor home and a classic car and all the policies or some of them are then loaded by their insurers.

That might happen, but then if the same tyres were on the front as on the rear then when it happened you might have no steering or braking ability. If the ones on the back are total rubbish then best change them, if they are OK and you drive to the conditions of what is fitted front and rear maybe no issues then.

@shyVRS245 I really have noticed. I also spotted that after the VW Defeat Device scandal VW Group were going to produce petrol engines for the Light Commercials like the Pickups and Caravelle and efficient diesels. That is because people do need work vehicles that can carry loads and tow. Nothing wrong with Hybrids as long as they are not just about kidology for the Tax Man and produce fake emission figures under testing. They need to have the power required when needed which could be all day or night and emitting lower emissions. VW Groups Plug in Hybrids and Mild Hybrids are not doing that if used for high daily mileages be that a passenger car, multi people carrier or light goods vehicle. EV's are still not an answer to carrying heavy loads out and about over distances or with a weight being towed behind. In the car on his own driving a heavy car without the weight of all the seats filled and the boot, let alone bikes on the rear. Might as well be in a VW UP! using petrol or a e-Up using electric, but a Skoda Superb iV or a Kodiaq iV (if they do one.) would be taking the pith really. But then he needs to get a big picture in rather than have it delivered..... But then a VW Van which is a hybrid making the delivery with lots of other drops would be no more fuel efficient or clean than a diesel with SCR.

Simply the Technician or Fitter & the Dealership doing the PDI and changing the car from Transit mode have not done the job correct;y. That is leaving the car on a Variable Service Interval, or changing to a Fixed Service if you want. If you can not be bothered visiting them, have them send out a technician with the equipment and half a brain, or if you go in to then ask for your expenses for them wasting your time by being useless.

@Tcots only posts links to articles on the Skoda new vehicles guessing. Over the past years they have proved to be just guessing and rumour as you get with Autoexpress. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/484824-skoda-kodiaq-vrs-to-be-removed-from-sale-due-to-emissions-rules http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/486585-2021-kodiaq-rs-facelift-spied

Some brokers / insurers charge you just for changes in your policy for letting them know you have a conviction, and soe will charge for changing each policy you have. Some say tell us when you renew the policy. Some even load each policy you have when a new speeding offence is on your licence. I have never yet had a speeding offence that did not then cause an increases in a policy or each of the policies i had. That seems to me against natural justice. You have one vehicle and you get points and fine and an increase in insurance cost. You have several vehicles, you only use one at any one time, you get points, a fine and insurers think you are the goose that lays the golden egg and they take the Mick.

The issue is the issue that VW Group have not addressed, so any Tuning Company do not want to risk being involved in offering new engine management on what can be flawed engines. Too risky. Just as some Tuners stopped selling remaps for 1.4 TSI Twinchargers 132-136kW. Actually the REVO Stage 1 was dodgy as it was were the APR one was honky dory.
