Hi all. 

 

Just a quick intorduction. 

I’m a 46 year old male from Sydney Australia. 

 

Bought my first Škoda about a week and a half ago. 

 

A candy white 2018 Fabia Monte Carlo wagon. 

With the tech package. And I had the dealer add custom leather heated seats. 

Black leather with perforated red inserts with red stitching. 

 

I’ve done about 800km so far. And loving it. 

 

Only one one thing I will have to get th edealer to look at, the keyless entry doesn’t always work. 

Keyless start always does though. Other than that, it’s a great car. My first brand new new car too. 

 

I will get a few better pics that weren’t taken the day I collected it. 

 

I have a few minor plans for the car, but nothing too out there. Not I’ll warranty is over anyway.

G'day and a warm welcome to the Forum Jason !  Nice photos too.  Get the dealer to fix the remote locking soon before any more probs crop up

Hello Jason welcome along to the Skoda forum , good to have you with us , i'm sure the dealer will sort it out for you .

Thanks. 

 

I think I I have a handle (pun intended) on why the keyless entry doesn’t always work as expected. 

 

Looks like Iike if I lock the car with the remote button, then the keyless entry doesn’t work. 

If I use the button on the door handle to lock it, then I can unlock just putting my hand inside the handle. 

 

Odd that hat there’s no mention of this behavior in the owners manual. 

 

Either way, as long as I understand the behavior, I can work with it.

Yes - I had this with my GT86 although I always used the touch method making sure the keys were in my pocket.
