I have a 2025 1.5 DSG Fabia which has done just over 800 miles.

Today, when indicating to turn right, the indicator speed doubled and a red warning triangle appeared on the dash.

After I stopped and restarted the car, it was fine. But my 'My Skoda' app has recorded the below which implies that it is a lighting (presumably indicator) issue although, when using the hazard lights to check, all indicators are working fine (including those on the door mirrors).

Weirdly, the infotainment went barmy earlier, refusing to swap radio channels and randomly phoning people when I pressed the 'settings' button etc (all of which may be co-incidental)

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

Is the front right turn signal lighting a bulb or LED?

If it's a bulb it could be loose or faulty.

It's a fancy thing like the below that I assume to be multi light LED. It all appears to be working fine....

It's under warranty, report it and book it in, check all computer updates have been done on the car (although these might also introduce as well as solve issues), check if there are any Recalls or service bulletins about this and any other stuff on the car.

On a 2025 car it could be so, so many things, actual (for want of a better word) or computer (or programs) related.

The two issues mi9ght be separate or related. 800 miles on a car that's at least ,near enough, 4 months old could suggest a 12v battery in low state of charge and the computers certainly don't like that and a low state of charge on the battery certainly won't help regardless of cause(s) to the issues.

Good luck.

The photo in the original posting indicates that PongoBongo's 2025 Fabia Monte Carlo has the 'Full LED' headlights that are optional for that model and are mentioned here

it may be difficult to identify/rectify the cause as the turn-indicators are now behaving normally. I was at a MG dealership a few weeks ago and overheard a conversation where an owner had brought in his nearly-new car complaining about a transitory problem. He had been told that - despite the car being under warranty - as the problem was not currently showing up there would be a charge (about £150) for investigation and this would only be refunded if an 'under warranty' fault was discovered. No fault was identified and the MG owner (unhappily) agreed to pay up.

The problem should definitely be mentioned ASAP to the Skoda selling dealership and see what they advise. The fact that the My Skoda app referred to an issue with the "front-right turn signal" might suggest a fault confined to the headlight unit itself or to the indicators' control system (or to computer bloody-mindedness!)

It may be necessary to wait and see if the problem reoccurs and, before stopping/restarting the car, check if it's only the front-right headlight indicator's speed that has doubled or all the right-hand-side indicators.

They were taking the p!$$ at the MG Dealership. How much time was actually spent to check there was no fault? Even if that is their Minimum diagnostics charge. The owner will get that £150 refunded when the fault or issue shows again in the Warranty period. As it is the MG Dealership staff know exactly what the 'Transitory problem' will be. They work on the models daily. As do Skoda Techs / fitters on Skodas.

Many warning messages are removed by the "turn it off and on again" method.

It's the modern norm

The dealership I mentioned has MG and Skoda franchises (I was waiting for my Fabia to be serviced). I've dealt with them since 2009 and found them trustworthy and their staff technically competent.

The MG owner also complained that his car's sat-nav occasionally failed to provide speed-limit data. I said that my Skoda Fabia had done this for a couple of miles on my trip to the dealership and, as my car's sat-nav relied on a database for speed-limit information, the reason must have been because there was a gap in the database relating to that stretch of road. In fact, on the way home, on the same stretch of road (but in the opposite direction) the speed-limit readout was again lost.

(I'm not sure it's still possible to opt for 'adaptive' LED headlights on current UK Skoda Fabia Mk4 models. All Fabia Mk4 cars now have 'all LED' headlights (ie. they do not contain traditional bulbs) as part of their standard equipment, but only the 130.has 'adaptive' LED headlights as standard.)

My MG EV does it all the time as does the others i drove. (screen can totally blank anytime and anywhere) Last week i roadtested a MG4 X-power. Holy crap it was rapid. Handled like crap though. But then i did not check the tyre pressures as i normally would but then i remembered and checked the screen. Set up at max ECO pressure.

These technologies like Tw*tNav circle back from their optimum point of development to acting a bit like when they were newer. Watching the screen looking for the 5(?) satellites before fully loading up and this could be from 5-10 seconds to to minutes to drop out again and start again after seconds or minutes of use. You used to be able to tap the buttons to get the Tw*tNav to take you a reasonable route rather than always taking you from somewhere like Northampton to the M25 to go to Scotland. If the right address is put in these modern Tw*tNavs will get you there but not always by the best route.

"Classic" MG (and current Mk3 Fabia) (previous, updates available) Tw*tNavs.-

The only inbuilt sat-nav for a Fabia Mk4 runs on the Amundsen display-screen and was discussed here

My 2024 Fabia does not have traffic-sign recognition, so relies on a GPS database for speed-limit data. My previous Hyundai i20 had a traffic-sign recognition capability using a windscreen camera (but no inbuilt sat-nav) but this was, understandably, only able to provide speed-limit data on roads that have physical speed-limit traffic signs, and most UK roads do not. Presumably a Fabia Mk4 that has inbuilt sat-nav AND traffic-sign recognition will use both systems and be more capable of providing accurate speed-limit information.

My neighbour has just changed a 9-months-old Tesla SUV for a new Skoda Enyaq VRS. I asked him how he was finding the Envaq's sat-nav (I knew he had run GROK on the Tesla's navigation system) and he said "I just put a destination in and follow the instructions".

When driving (10.5 miles) from my (rural) home to the Skoda dealership that services my cars, my Fabia's navigation system always inexplicably suggests that, part way along, I turn left on to a narrow single-track lane. Ignoring that guidance rapidly causes the system to reset and the remainder of the trip accurately follows the 'logical' route.

Choosing 'Home' at the dealership resulted in the Fabia's navigation system behaving rationally until I reached the town near my home and decided to enter it rather than bypass it and probably hit heavy traffic. That decision caused the Fabia's navigation system a lot of grief and I've no idea where I would have gone if I had followed the instructions. Eventually the system got back on track, but it's easy to see the potential risks involved in slavishly relying on sat-nav guidance.

If there are no signs, there are default limits. Street lights, 30mph (Wales, 20mph). No street lights, National Speed limit, 60mph, 70mph on dual carriagways. Anything else should have repeater signs, but they are sometimes a fair distance apart. All changes of limit should have signs, usually on both sides of the road but not always. It is your responsibility to understand the speed limits, the satnav or the speed recognition system being wrong will be no defence.

I'm well aware of the UK's speed-limit signage (even more so now than prior to my recent-ish Speed Awareness Course), but my statement you've quoted is nevertheless accurate.

In 2024 Hyunndai face-lifted UK-specification i10 cars. These were fitted as standard with a traffic-sign recognition system (TSRS) that produced a (legally mandatory) audible warning if a recognised sign's speed value was exceeded. The snag was that the face-lifted i10's TSRS proved unable to react to the UK's national speed-limit applies sign (a white circle with a single black diagonal stripe) with the car 'bleeping' incessantly when the vehicle was being driven on UK roads that had 'default' speed limits. Hyundai UK dealerships (and Hyundai HQ) initially refused to recognise this as a fault, but (eventually) UK dealerships were authorised to disable the i10's TSRS and - several months later - a software update fixed the problem.

Even when a TSRS is able to recognise/react to a UK national speed-limit applies sign, it still cannot warn a driver of the speed-limit applying to the road beyond that sign and UK-spec Hyundai models that only have a TSRS (and no GPS-based sat-nav) just say "No data available" until a numeric speed-limit traffic-sign is next encountered.

My 2024 Fabia's speed-limit warnings rely solely on the car's GPS sat-nav database. I don't know how a Fabia Mk4 with sat-nav and TSRS provides speed-limit warnings to the driver and it would be interesting to learn from a UK owner of a Fabia that has sat-nav and TSRS whether the two systems operate in tandem or independently.
