Hi. I am new here, from Belgrade, Serbia.

I have an issue with park sensors on autumn/winter months when is colder weather. After starting car, on the board is park sensor failure,  and after restarting the car problem is gone.

Here in service in Belgrade after diagnostic and comunication with Skoda in four weeks or more, they change the batery in warranty, 

Nowdays, the problem is the same when weather is colder and when car stay park for few days. Do any have such a problem? Is it a software which they don’t know how to fix.

Another thing, i have noticed two bugs in my back tail lights, both. It have to be from factory, car is not dameged at all, 18.000 km for two and a half years. The warranty is still 1,5 year. Do they accept this things for warranty? Any opinion. I will try to post the picture of tail lights. The identical thing on both sides.

Thanks. Best regards!

Hello,

 

Thanks for posting. Nice to see a fellow Belgradian! About the bugs - this is something I'm not really sure about, maybe check if there are any openings where the bug may have come through. For the cold weather and parking sensor, I have the same issue, only when driving in the snow, or heavy rain. The sensors seem to freeze, but then after 3-5 km's driving, it resets and back to normal. I'm guessing cars these days are not built for heavy snow or cold weather. I try to keep my Octavia parked inside to avoid any minus 0 weather because of situations such as these. Hope this helps!

I had both problems. In Hungary in some repair shops they change the lights with bugs in warranty, in mine they cleaned it...twice. As they came back 1 day later. I guess they just blowed it with compressed air. Theres a hole on it for condensation water to escape. Sadly Skoda missed to put a wire or sponge or something to the hole. Bugs can enter there.

For the errors. They've replaced my battery too and many others also. The error is gone, but I'm sure thats not how the car should notify my that the battery is in bad condition. It must be fixed with software update some time later. Even if the voltage is low, it could enable the systems a few sec later and tell me to replace the battery soon. Since that i dont have problemy (so far) but I didnt have heavy snowing here sadly.

Skoda released a software update in December 2024 to fix the intermittent parking distance control (PDC) error, which occurs more often during cold weather.

That's useful to know. Mine is going back to the dealer for diagnostics in a week or two; I've noticed in the last 6 months or so that the front parking sensors have been a bit intermittent. Apparently there is a fault code logged which, I'm told, was a much use a chocolate teapot...

Do you have any more details of the software update please?

Hello Guys,

TPI2075576x is the TPI no that I found on other related forums, but I'm afraid I don't have any extra details.

Can someone with access to ErWin  check and post here the full description?

Thank you
