I am asking for help. The situation is as follows, I have a 2025 Octavia with a mild hybrid engine. Mileage 13,000 km. After driving 6,000 km, the alternator belt started to squeak, especially noticeable on a cold car in the morning, and most of all in humid weather. Recently, the belt was replaced with a new one under warranty, so the problem has not disappeared. The Skoda representative reasons that he does not hear anything, although I had attached a video with obvious sound. I am attaching the audio recording here as well. Even in humid weather, not only can you hear the belt squeak, but you can also feel the jerking when running, especially in 2nd-3rd gear and at rpm between 1500-2000. It's very difficult to deal with Skoda, when they take the car for a while they can't record everything and feel the jerking. This is driving me to despair. The AI is mostly pointing towards a tensioner problem. Thanks in advance.

Welcome. Are you asking if others with the same car have the same noise or no noise? What is it a 1.0 or 1.5 TSI MHEV?

Im asking what to do with skoda dealer, because they do nothing.

1.5 mild hybrid

P.s. no mistakes

Good that you have registered your concerns with them early on in your Warranty Period. Is there only one Dealership you can visit, and one master tech? Have they driven the car, or have you asked the Dealership Dealer Principal to test drive it?

I left my car with them today, but as if on purpose the weather was very dry all week and there were no symptoms I mentioned. And in the evening it rained heavily, and I recorded the sound myself. It is very difficult to explain to them at what time and when they can appear. I will try to call a representative from another city. I don't think I am the first one to experience this.

@mantasgaj Is the noise only there when it is wet roads?

usually yes. all winter there were no sounds or jerks. just warmed up, the damp leaves, and it starts. squeak only on a cold engine

Sorry but not see most of the posts text. Not sure if your end or my fault.

@Evolution13 OP appears to be copy and pasting from a Microsoft Notepad or similar. I'll try and sort in a minute or ten.

@mantasgaj can you not post directly into your replies?

No idea. What a noisy engine. Hardly matters if there was a engine cover. Is that the cars rpm just rising and dropping it,s self while sitting, when you show the dash?

There was no engine protection from the factory. I pressed the gas pedal myself to prove to Skoda that there was a squeaking sound, and at the same time I managed to record that squeaking sound from the engine. Skoda also had a strange engine noise
