Problem: Flickering lights and weak battery in Skoda Kodiaq 2018
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Skoda Kodiaq is experiencing flickering lights and a weak battery, suspected to be due to a faulty battery sensor. A similar issue in a 2016 Skoda Yeti was resolved by repairing the starter motor and addressing a nearly flat battery. The solution involved a mechanic visit, costing around €270, which successfully fixed the problem and restored vehicle reliability. It is suggested to have the vehicle checked by a professional to ensure peace of mind and proper functioning.

Thanks for the helpful insight! Your experience actually sounds pretty similar to what I'm going through right now.... Can you remember how much you had to shell out for the repair? And have you had any other issues since then that might be starter or battery related? Thanks again!

Hello, yes, I remember it very well. The repair of the faulty power supply wasn't exactly cheap, costing me around €270. But since the visit to the mechanic, everything has been running smoothly. The fault in the vehicle battery sensor was rectified and there have been no more problems since then. So, in my opinion, it's worth having it checked. It did cost a bit, but the peace of mind it brought was worth every penny. Hope this helps you! Just let me know if you have any further questions.

I wish you continued safe driving without any problems and I hope I can soon be just as relaxed on the roads! Thanks again and see you next time!

Hi, it sounds like you have a similar problem to the one I recently had with my 2016 Skoda Yeti. Not only were the lights flickering, but the car battery was also causing problems when starting. It wasn't a minor fault, so I had to take it to the garage. Found out that the starter motor was broken and the battery was almost flat. It was quite stressful, but thanks to good advice the problem was quickly solved. Maybe you could check if it's similar for you. Hope that helps!
