The Skoda Thread

Anyone tried an Enyak yet?

When l took my daughter to work this morning, l got a dashboard message stating ‘Change Keyfob Battery’

‘67’ plate Kodiaq, with keyless start

Does anyone know what battery, before l pull the fob apart to look?
Thanks in advance
As An Aside; l never changed a key battery in the 9years l owned the Octavia!

Thanks guys, I bought a Duracell battery earlier this afternoon & swapped it
Getting the case open is fiddly though!

Parked at work
(starting at 07:00)
Came in it, as l might have to go straight out

The conditions aren’t an issue for riding, I've ridden here in a lot worse, but the roundabouts in the grounds are icy

My best average MPG, in the Octavia
('brimmed' about 1/2 mile from home)
M62, to 'Thorpe Interchange' > onto M1 > East Midlands Airport

I'd have been going there to pick SWMBO up

Prior to the Scouts, for some reason Vauxhall Zafiras were used as 'Fast Response'

We had Zafiras in LAS too, as shift leader and specialist solo Paramedic cars, they were dreadful. Thankfully as a special fast response unit we had Volvo V40 estates, they were very good, if a bit tight on room for all the kit.

The Scout would have been perfect.

As you no doubt realise, l’m in the YAS area (Yorkshire Ambulance Service), & the Scouts can also cope very well in quite severe snow too
They’re also dammed quick too, when on a call!!!

I know a chap who managed the Kielder Safari in a Scout, totally standard apart from AT boots.

I've booked the Kodiaq into our regular garage, for Monday
The orange 'Engine Management' is on
The handbook states it's an emissions related fault

Doubt it's the DPF as that has its own symbol

There's no change in drivability/noise/etc...

A cheap OBDII scanner might be worth having, so that you are at least aware of the fault even if unable to fix it. Often better to go into a dealer knowing what's up rather than having to rely on them to tell you. If a dealer workshop told me my car had 4 wheels fitted I'd still go outside to count them... and make sure they were all the same size and design... and had tyres fitted.
