I recently bought up a car from cargiant in london a skoda kamiq 2021 Monte Carlo and while driving it home i got the first error a red triangle in my dashboard saying that my SOS sistem has a problem and i need to visit a workshop as son as possible

I noticed that this error shows up quite often every 2 hours into drive maybe i have no ideea what it might be, if anyone has past experience with this matter please let me know

The picture that i attached is not mine but it s

the same identical issue

All modern cars have an emergency assistance call button and the skoda systems has known faults and fails , my Enyaq has the same message up at the moment .

Just book it in and continue to drive the car its ok

This is not unusual, a lot of VAG cars from around 2020 / 2021 suffer from this. Normally it requires a module to be replaced. it was a big topic on all forums once. Most people got it fixed.

Still aawaiting a fix for my Karoq. its been in 5 times now. The system has 2 aerials, mine have been replaced 4 times. Don't know whether it is 2 twice each or 1 once and the other 3 times. Had a software update, now been diagnosed as a faulty lead. This is on 4 week backorder and hopefully will be replaced when it goes in for MOT at the end of the month.

is it possible to fail the MOT for this Issue

Very doubtful. In my case, generally if you switch off the engine, wait a few minutes then restart, the fault clears.

Mine has flagged up the SOS symbol a few times now, 2020 Kamiq. It's been inconsistent, around every couple of months it faults. One time it faulted twice in the same week. It's been at least 6 months since I've had it happen, fingers crossed it's fixed itself 😁

Probably show up next time I drive it, I've jinxed it.😉

I just leave it and it goes away when I next start the car.

Because we also run a Golf from 2021 I have a little knowledge.

As has been mentioned either of the aerials can be faulty, or it can be software or the actual SOS module in the car.

In some cases it can be linked to faulty steering wheel buttons.

Faulty cable normally translates to "fat finger syndrome" in the factory.
