Apologied for bringing this up again. I have previously posted about the SOS fault, as have many others, but I can't seem to find my earlier posts. As the subject came up on the Kodiaq forum I have made a couple of posts here.  

I wonder whether tis applies to other Skoda types and whether there is somewhere on the forum to discuss cross-type issues.

Hello

New to this forum and so Hi.

I recently purchased a 2021 Kamiq Monte Carlo 1.5 DSG, from Lookers Skoda in Newcastle. After finalising the sale I left and drove back to Scotland. I was about half way home when the SOS warning light and ! triangle appeared saying take to workshops. As you can imagine I wasn't best impressed. There was no point in turning back and so contacted Newcastle and I was told to go to local dealer.

I have enquired as to whether this fault might have been present before I left with the car and somehow temporarily reset. Of course the reply was " No of course Not ".

Anyhow, my car went in to A Glasgow Skoda dealership and it seems it doesn't just need an update but a new Antenna.! this requires the whole roof panel removal and it isn't the first fault of this nature. 

 

Anyone had similar and does anyone know if I can trace the date the fault first originated?

 

P.s. Anyone noticed if you take your car to a dealership for a fault, other than the one you bought it from, they give you a booking-in date months into the future. I couldn't believe when, one of the service team in Glasgow told me they do that deliberately because you went elsewhere! Crazy!

I replied to this post in the Kamiq section. Is there a section on the forum where common problems which affect different models can be discussed.
