Re: Off peak charging - best controlled by car or charger?

Personally always use the charger (SyncEV) and have found it to be very reliable. I’m on Octopus Intelligent but have my other EV set up as the “intelligent car”, so have to turn the charger schedule off when charging this EV. For the Enyaq. Schedule is set 11:30 - 05:30 on my Sync EV and never had ...

Brake Wear

My iV60 just had its first 24 month service and the front brake pads are shown as 20% worn at 13,000 miles. Just wondered if this is normal as thought EV brakes were good for 100,000 plus miles but guess this depends on the type of driving undertaken - mine is mainly short journeys with a lot of sto...

Re: Winter efficiency?

Just completed a 35 mile trip in freezing fog across rural Dorset on A & B roads. Speed restricted due to poor visibility, and only used seat and steering wheel heating (both on max for the whole trip), and achieved 4 miles kWh. It makes a significant difference if you avoid using a/c, my car wa...

Re: Keyless entry not working when car is cold

If the key battery is low there is not an obvious indicator on the infotainment system - you have to go in car status and check for any orange coloured reports. In my case, with non-keyless entry, had to replace batteries in both key fobs for the second time in 2 years of ownership. My previous expe...

Re: Skoda logo melted

Just tell them the Skoda logo(s) have deformed - they might want to inspect the car to confirm - however, it is such a common problem ( mine is booked in for their second replacements) they might just book the car in for replacements, which only takes about 45 minutes.

Re: Frozen headlights

Returning from a Counterfeit Stones concert last night and wondered why the car was defrosted, nice and warm (departure set up as left the theatre) but the headlights were quite dim. Will have to see if I still have any de-icer around!

Re: Getting into the car when both key batteries are flat

CR 2032 button style battery. It’s only a minute or so to change so your Dealer shouldn’t charge any labour. I was fortunate, my Dealer did not even charge for the batteries.

Re: Getting into the car when both key batteries are flat

The low key battery warning is not as clear as it used to be on VW UP GTi, however, it is the vehicle status screen as an orange coloured report. Not obvious, but I’ve just had it pop up for the third time - both batteries were replaced by my Dealer in March. Queried why needed further replacements ...

Re: Wing Mirror Projection blurred

I’m booked in for my second replacement set. The first time it was very obviously distorted, the next time my dealer picked it up at the 2 year service - they looked OK to me. Takes about 45 minutes to replace. They only seem to last a year in my car.

Re: Service history where?

Was reading this thread whilst waiting at my local Skoda dealer this morning whilst my Enyaq was undergoing its 2 year service. So decided to ask service reception about digital service records. Was advised that the service record is uploaded to the App but this takes 24 hours - at present I just ha...
