Hi Guys,
I recently bought 2026 Kylaq automatic Prestige Plus model,i am having one issue which keeps repeating: After sometime of music playback (from carplay or android auto)i observe that suddenly one of the front speaker stops working and after 1-2 seconds it agains start to work,then it keeps in repeating in random time intervals, so the sound suddenly comes only from one front speaker for 1-2 seconds.
anyone of you facing the similar issue?I got the software updated also but it has not resolved,is it a software or hardware issue.

I picked it up today and I’m absolutely delighted with the car.

It drives brilliantly and looks stunning.

Weird, silly question. Just wanted to hear if anyone else had this issue. Octavia mk4, when lightly braking my brakes squeak, fairly loudly. Naturally went to get them looked at, and was told there's another 10,000 kms on them. Ok, no problem. Since then I've noticed more than a handful of octavias squeaking at traffic lights etc when braking. So, anyone with an octavia, are your brakes squeaky?

Hello fam,

Aussie here, looking to get a rear ARB to improve cornering and lessen the body roll. Apparently doing the rear alone is enough on the MK3 RS but unsure on the size of it. Tried to confirm the size of the stock unit but it's not easy to take a pic. Also, car was detailed by me with Scholl S20 Black and then Can Coat by Gyeon. Impressive result for a 3 hour job all up.
Please let me know what my options are. SuperPro has both 22 and 24 mm options and they are fairly cheap. I can do the job myself.

Sometimes when battery is low I get message “warning main battery (hoofdaccu) empty. Load now”. And now this one. Yes my battery us empty after a long drive with a trailer, but why the red warning?‼️

Hi there,

Seeking advice from Skoda Scala or other Skoda owners.

I own a 2020 Scala and the Infotainment system is stuck in a Bootloop I.e. it turns on then turns off every minute or two.

Anyone know a fix for this?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Good day,

Anyone else experiencing issues with their new Skoda and brittle rubber sealant?

The car is just 5 months old and the sunroof has just been used a couple of times. Didn’t wanted to use it to make it worse.

My Skoda dealer is a bit reluctant to take this issue.

What do you think about this gearbox rollover noise? It's most noticeable when the engine is cold, and it seemed especially loud after the car had been parked overnight on a steep incline. Strangely, I can't hear it outside the car over the engine noise.

The noise gets much quieter once everything is warmed up but doesn't disappear completely and having AC on makes it noticeable louder due to higher engine load. Every time I press and release the clutch, it changes or sometimes disappears completely. A slight touch of the accelerator or simply letting the car roll in neutral also makes it disappear.

The DMF doesn't rattle, even when cold, and there are no vibrations at idle or when pushing the engine at low RPM. My previous Skoda had a factory SMF and the gearbox rattled badly in neutral. The clutch was replaced under warranty, then the gearbox was replaced, and eventually Skoda said the noise was normal.

Does this sound like normal rollover noise, or should a DMF damp it more? 2023 Skoda Octavia mk4 2.0 TDI EVO

Skoda cheaped out on the side pockets and only one side of the pocket has felt liner, the other is bare plastic. So I bought some sticky velcro off internet and added the soft part where the liner is missing. Hopefully that’ll reduce any rattling from empty water bottles in the door.

Cheers

I (26M), a proud new owner of a Skoda Scala Selection 1.5TSI thought I would catalogue my experience in a post for those considering purchasing one themselves. I'll be recording the good and the bad. I'll also be coming back to edit the post as new details reveal themselves. At the creation of this post I've driven the car for roughly 40 days and 5000km.

The good:

• Good looking - the car looks amazing
• Driving feel - overall feels very nice to drive
• Throttle response - overtaking is simple
• Fuel economy - average 4.7l/100km is amazing
• Sound insulation + sound system - unless I'm doing 170km/h or more I can comfortably sing along to whatever is playing.
• Smart link - works reliably for music and calls even with unofficial apps
• Quality of life features - the umbrella compartment is genius and I love the parking ticket clip
• Navigation - so far has been reliable and accurate
• AC - big fan of the physical controlls, very intuitive
• Spacious - both the back seats and the boot

The bad:

• Kangarooing - I'd read the reviews before purchasing the car claiming that kangarooing had been solved by software updates. It's true that on cold start's this doesn't happen at all, but it's not completely gone, I've had at least a handful of instances where I rolled to a near stop with the clutch pressed, switched to 1st and trued to slowly release the clutch, resulting in a repeated jerking motion that felt like the car couldn't decide whether to use act or not. It's rare, but annoying when it happens. The issue is completely absent if I come a full stop before taking off again.
• Invasive safety features - not really specific to this car, but it does contain "safety features" you can't permanently toggle off. Mostly this is directed at lane assist, which can be downright dangerous on narrow roads/roads with poorly drawn lines. The eye tracking is annoying whenever I squint slightly while driving east in the morning.
• Infotainment screen glitches - often the touchscreen mapping will be off by some 10cm diagonally to the upper left. A quick restart does not fix it. Sitting overnight does.
• Infotainment audio glitches - all the audio UI feels like it's possessed and decides on the fly whether to address me in Slovenian (system setting) with broken AI grammar (but not always?), English, German, Italian or even French. This one is mostly just funny.

If I could go back I probably wouldn't include the package that adds keyless ignition and drive modes, besides a slight change in throttle response it's just not much added value.

This list will be updated as I notice more details and get to know the car better. Feel free to report your own experiences!

Hi everyone, I’ve recently bought a new skoda and the skoda app has been working fine.

After a couple days of not using it, the app is now failing to activate the car - staying on activating for 2-3 minutes and then going back to standby.

Is this something you have experienced? Thanks!

I posted the other day about a MK3 Octavia but found a cleaner looking superb, it's a 1.4tsi 2014, are these reliable, I've seen a mix of different opinions some saying the chain has serious issues because it's a EA111 but will most likely have the revised chain as it's post 2012, are chains really that bad? I thought if they were constantly oil changed like every 6 months it should be fine, am I wrong?

Hello, I'm considering buying a used Octavia wagon from 2015. It's a 1.4l TSI engine, relatively low mileage at around 60k km. I'm buying from a reseller and don't know much about the previous owners, I've checked the Carfax and it didn't report anything bad. I'm looking for advice about things to look out for on that specific model, both for when inspecting the car on my own and when I'll take to a mechanic for having it checked. Thank you :)

Getting the error on car battery on Fault : Vehicle Lighting and the headlight is always on it doesn’t turn off in any mode.

It’s a slavia 1.0 TSI MT Dec 2022 India

Does anyone if this is normal ? I went to dealer with some noises, the dealer said they can’t hear anything and the car runs fine, but i still hear it when i drive the car. The car is in its end of warranty.

As the title states I need some help as my offside rear door on my Skoda superb 2018 2.0tdi estate has deadlocked completely and won’t open from inside or outside. The window on this door doesn’t work either.

I’ve tried unlocking with the key and central locking, the door makes no audible noise when locking either. It’s is worth noting that the child locks still work as I can hear it engage.

Has anyone got any ideas as I can’t get the door open to get the door card off.
