Just received an email from my Skoda dealer offering me a free complimentary software check. Is this a nationwide campaign or a local offer to increase revenue streams? I seem to think it is a diagnostic check rather than a software upgrade. I doubt if the CBZB engine is now supported and classed as a legacy product. 

 

Has anyone taken advantage of this Skoda offer and found any problems.

I've not heard of this offer but I, too would treat it with suspicion.  "Yes, Sir your software is OK... but we just happened to notice your brakes/discs/suspension/exhaust/etc. might need attention".

That must be a dealership where customers can get same or next day appointments and have not weeks to wait to get a service or even Software updates carried out on new cars with faults.  Or warranty work done.

I've had nowt.

I guess the obvious questions are "What's in it for you?" and "What's in it for the dealer?".

I suspect the answer to the first question is, an invoice somewhere down the line.
