Can I offer a heads-up regarding the Kodiaq top gaiters for the front suspension.  Other models have them too. You can easily view them over the top of your front wheels - through the open aperture and sitting situated within the coiled springs? The top of the gaiter is fixed but the bottom of the gaiter apparently not... assumedly its elasticity keeps it fully stretched.

Skoda maintenance checks will usually include their 'health check. This is quite often as much use to them for finding work, as much as you are trying to avoid discovering any hidden problems underneath the car!! At my recent check they discovered the flexible joint for the helix propshaft 'seized'. That will be carried out under my extended warranty. More interesting though, their rapidly-shot video showed both top gaiters for the front suspension split and perishing. This raised an advisory - which is not under warranty as nothing has yet 'failed' - on their attached report. The propshaft universal was an urgent. The car is five years old and it came as a shock to me the condition they were in - but not so much to the Skoda mechanic who seemed on the video to have a sort of "not another one" denouement about his find. To replace these gaiters (nominally £20 a pair and which are mainly just dust and dirt covers) is £550 from Skoda. Naturally, using some other outlet, that means about £260 labour plus the gaiters (that come with the top shock-stop) from anybody else doing the job for me/you. Some advisers say they aren't needed, but of course they are. Other advisors say they aren't MoT failures. which is true, and other advisors say "why the hell are they perishing and splitting so easily anyway? That last one I can agree with. I've glued mine for now - it can wait. But perhaps have a look yourself and use a finger to wiggle them... i'ts just a heads-up.

I had just last week replaced: one propshaft cover, both front springs with shock bearings.

All in all 370 euros, including labour and parts.

 

I suggest to look for some non official garage. This does not affect on your warranty, no need to feed the greedy.
