Battery Protection Limit

Word for word the email they sent me last week. I suspect they are being inundated by questions about this issue and are sending out a standard response.

Deffo 12v battery defects

Mine is solid now, no messages.

My dealer confirmed the battery was knackered and now the new one is spot on. Dont expect they'll be telling folk until it's taken in and tested

Equally the same - no messages at all and working flawlessly. However I have done nothing… 12V hasn’t been changed.

What's the weather like? If it's a bit warmer...then that might be why it's working you right now....

Ok so it’s back for me but with a twist.

The notifications are coming through in what looks German.

But I’m not actually even logged in to the app…

So how does this make sense….

I contacted Skoda about 2 month ago about this problem. They escalated the problem back to the Skoda development as a level 3 problem (I don't know what that means). Anyway....they have now instructed me to book a service time at the garage to have it fixed. Skoda wanted me to book a time no earlier then a week from now - so probably they are sending the garage some parts...

Have they told you what they plan on doing?

Have they told you what they plan on doing?

I asked the local Skoda garage and they haven't received any instructions yet. I also asked when I emailed Skoda support - I got a reply - but they didn't answer my question about that...

Hello, I’m booked in for 1st week of Jan so would be good to know what it is so I can speak to the dealer and get this fixed first time!

So without touching the keys but going outside to our car - this is what I have noticed…

Pretty obvious why it’s going flat!

I’m booked in for 12V battery replacement on the 20th (if this is what they confirm it is) - but I think i might wait until the new year as I have a feeling that this could take far longer.

The 12V is not the cause, it’s getting damaged buy whatever is keeping the car awake - flattening it and letting it freeze - and then never holding a charge again.

A new 12V will just let this happen again. It’s the equivalent of fixing a leaking roof by changing the bucket it’s leaking into - no more mess on the floor - for while.
