I don't see how they can refuse a warranty claim. Mine was recalibrated free of charge (my car was 6 months old when I bought it and was used as the personal transport of the dealer principal) . In any case, I don't think it matters what Skoda say.  Your contract is with the dealer and having owned the car for such a short period, the onus is on them to put it right. Consult your local Citizens Advice if the dealer refuses to play ball as such a major problem should not occur so soon in the life of an expensive car.

As it happens, while on holiday recently, my ACC suddenly stopped working again while driving along the Autobahn in Germany. No apparent reason and certainly no impact. Two days later, while driving along the Autoroute in Belgium, it just as suddenly decided to start working again and has been OK since. I haven't reported this to my dealer and I think that perhaps I should.

Could a large insect hitting the sensor cause this problem that later came off sufficiently for it to start working again?  

 

Having said that, I went across Europe in April/May to Lithuania and the front was heavily splattered with insects, but ACC wasn't affected.

No - checked the sensor when we stopped and gave it a good polish (although no obvious marks, etc) but wouldn't work. Just started to work again all on its own. I like the ACC but I'm not at all happy about the apparent fragility of the system.
