^^^ agree, DVSA were totally uninterested when I reported the not uncommon fault of the TSI fuel rail bolts letting go and dumping considerable quantities of fuel onto the engine!

I've never heard of that fault until now, whereas the problems we are discussing on this entire Kodiaq mk2 forum (and other forums) appear far too common to be ignored. I'd be surprised if action isn't taken before the mk3 appears.

All I wanted was to be able to turn this rubbish off ONCE or at least change it to a less sensitive setting. Has anybody got it turned off by an independent tech even though it voids the warranty? I ask as this is my only option if I can't reject it for a reasonable offer. If I have to keep it, it's definitely being handed back when the PCP term ends in 18 months.

UPDATE: I've been offered a deal from Skoda UK to reject my Kodiaq Sportline 2.0 TSI. If I accept, I'll have to sign an NDA and never discuss what the exact settlement is, I have a cooling off period until New Year's Eve before I get paid, but I want to wash my hands of this dreadful dangerous PoS now! All I can say is that the offer is a lot more generous than I expected and I'm so relieved. In the meantime, I can't drive the car (I don't really want to TBH) as my local dealer has agreed to store it so that its condition/value is preserved. It's a long, painful and stressful process, but totally worth it. Trading Standards via the CAB and my local dealer have been brilliant.

My second and last Skoda and my search for a replacement has started. It's shame as my 2011 Superb gave me 8 years of pleasure and reassurance. My criteria is that a replacement has to be full-fat petrol, automatic, 4x4, non-VAG, non-AEB!!! and huge inside. I've always bought new, but I will go used if it's the only way to avoid AEB.

Merry Xmas and happy New Year to all, I'll be leaving this forum as soon as the deal is complete.
