There are some in the box sections on the underside that drain the areas either side under the brake servo and opposite under ECU, but not a threat to interior dryness even if all blocked up.

There have been a series of similar reports in various subforums here on cars built in the last few years. Very common for them to degrade fast, you'll see pictures of some with even more damage. The surface falling off is particularly stark. Here's a particularly bad one, from the Rapid subforum 😲

Yeah, looks like the battery is thoroughly in the way, unless that whole fusebox can lift up, which sounds unlikely.

I believe the connectors are all keyed so that they'll only fit back in their correct spots. 👍

I'll send you a PM in a sec, with address details etc.

I'd be happy to. Pretty sure I have some suitable relays already. If you posted it before last collection today, I'd get it tomorrow with a bit of luck. I could send back on Monday and you'd have it back Tuesday? £25?

Can you do without the car for a few days? You could post the BCM to me to fix if so. Having said that, engine code shouldn't matter very much, you just need to match the full part number including the suffix letter. Probably 6Q1937049C? the advantage of fixing yours is that the soft coding will be right, without any VCDS action, which might or might not be needed with another unit.

I think I'd expect that to fail MOT on this, or possibly (ii) below it: What I would say is, don't whatever you do buy genuine replacement discs from Skoda, they appear to be of rubbish quality. Find aftermarket discs instead.

I'd feel the same. There must be something else wrong. Not sure I've seen mention of it failing though, for the 1.5 engines.

Frustrating, for sure. Are there any other dealerships near enough to be worth calling to see if they can fit you in sooner? It doesn't look like a time-consuming replacement job. Or you could just order the part and DIY fit at your convenience, in the UK it appears to be £63.55 + VAT which includes the seal, for the 05E103495AH shown in your video, which appears to be the latest revision (formerly 05E103495T until 1st April 2022).

Yet, that fits with the diaphragm having failed again. I guess keep asking for warranty replacements until they find out why they are failing?

When you block the vent on the PCV I guess you feel suction on your fingertip?

Is it using any oil?

In a little slide-out drawer under the e-box (engine bay fuse/relay box). Arrow A points to it:

Yes

Black/blue

50 Strips of Self Adhesive 5g Weights - Black (tyrebaydirect.com)

Definitely the way to go.

Yep, I'd go with Carlston's suggestions.

If you haven't already looked for broken wires between door and body, that's where I would start.

I make it £467.40 including VAT, retail, for genuine bits from Skoda. Caliper alone is £218.50 + VAT.

Just shove a link wire in the back of pin 3, linking it to pin 4 with it still plugged in, and it should make the wipers come on at normal speed for as long as the link is there.

No problem. Have you seen the guide for relay replacement? An alternative to BCM replacement if the fault is narrowed down to the relay.

XP4, yep. Pin 4 is the output for normal speed, and the intermittent function.

Message me with your VIN, and I can probably assist.
