Karoq fault at 3 months old

Featured Replies

Went to put the radio on the other day and it wouldnt switch on, the Skoda logo appears briefly, then goes and comes on intermittantly. When driving the car the speed warning alarm has a mind of its own, activating at various speeds not related to the speed limit at all, then switches itself off for no apparent reason. After a while the "Dynamic road sign assist currently restricted " warning appeared, then dissappeared just as quick, meanwhile the logo on the infotainment screen kept switching itself on and off. I think it must be some software problem but has left me a bit miffed as the car has only done 850 miles. Currently at Winner garage for repair so I now have a Octavia estate se diesel manual to run around in for the time being.

Had a similar problem - turned out to be the ‘OnlineServices Controller’ - expensive!

Usual main dealer faff - when I first raised the issue 12 months earlier they claimed nothing was wrong and it was 'a glitch' - then, armed with video evidence we'd made they had to have it in the workshop to check what I was saying, and of course, they couldn't fit it in for a couple of weeks - then we had to wait for the new Controller and when the day finally came they broke some connector off the new controller although they claimed it was already broken - either way another delay but amazingly they were able to source one for next day though it took a further day to reassemble the car.

It was mentioned that the part was north of £1100..........Good luck matey.

When I filled the 'satisfaction' survey in I complained about the amount of time it all took, dealer came back with some gonads about how it could have been done and dusted in a much shorter time frame if I'd have been prepared to finance the repair myself rather than wait for Skoda warranty to sanction it....!

Cheeky gits.

Noting that the OPs car has done only 850 miles in 3 months, I wonder if this could be battery related?

Low charge can throw up all sorts of random errors.

Berisford . Thanks for the info, in fairness to the dealer, they acted quickly in giving me the 74 plate Octavia estate to run around in so it will be interesting to see how long it takes to get my car back. As mines new at least I wont have to pay for repairs.

Rory. I did wonder about the battery state but the stop/start still functioned so I presumed that the battery was pretty well charged .
