For the past few weeks I have noticed that the virtual Pedal just wasn't working anymore I used to get around 90% success rate 

 

Today I had some time to investigate.

 

Got under the rear and cleaned the rear diffuser bit as I have read the sensor is located somewhere in the middle .

 

Made no difference, under the car there is a piece of cable with 4 or 5 round black plastic bumps around 3mm in diameter running the width of the car, not sure what they are but cleaned them anyway

 

Still nothing

 

Using hands, feet and testing from the edge to middle , side to side and the preferred 'kick' motion 

 

Still nothing

 

It maybe a trip to the dealer as I don't think there is anyway if basically 'resetting' the boot

 

Hopefully a sensor fault will throw up an error once plugged in. It's still in warranty so hopefully won't be a massive issue 

 

Weird though ,all other methods such as the key and interior release work fine 

Mine failed when the car was about a year old.  Local Dealer never managed to fix it, even with parts borrowed from a VW GB Tiguan.  Škoda couldn’t work out whether it was the sensor, wiring, or control hardware.  Car gone now.

 

Sensor position - red line.

It's on the inside.

U can't see/feel it from the outside.

 

 

it looks like that

Mine failed after about 3 months from new, dealer had it back, fitted new sensors as shown above and since then Nija swipe works everytime :-)

It's going in next week for a check-up
