Seeking Advice on 2019 Skoda Scala's Nonfunctioning Nav System

Hey, sounds like you've got a similar issue I faced with my 2016 Skoda Superb. The car's computer system was playing up, and honestly, I thought it was just a blip. Turned out, it was a damaged CAN BUS or MOST bus. It was quite an ordeal. I remember taking it down to the garage, the lads had a look and confirmed my suspicions. Now, the job itself is a bit complex, given it involves messing with the car’s electronics. They found a fault in the communication lines between the control modules, similar to what you believe is happening to yours. They had to run diagnostics, understand what and where the problem exactly was, and then repair or replace the damaged component – that perhaps was the scope of work, explained in layman terms. So, just to answer your question - yes, it was kind of serious, considering the car electronics and all the attached functionalities it controls. The slightly good news here is these repairs aren't daily affairs, nor small, unnoticed faults, so usually they're done right. But one thing’s for sure, don't ignore it worth getting it checked and sorted. Good luck with your Scala, hope you get it sorted without any fuss this time!

Hey there, thanks for sharing your experience. Seems like you had quite the adventure with your Skoda's electronics! Just a quick question : do you recall how much the garage squeezed out of your wallet for this repair? And has anything similar popped up since you got it sorted? I'm crossing my fingers I won't have to deal with this whole ordeal more than once with my Scala!

Hey, glad my earlier experience could be of some help! In terms of bucks, it did cost a fair bit - my bill came to around 235.00 €. Wasn’t exactly a joy to part with that cash, but hey, that’s cars for you! On the bright side, once they tinkered with the CAN BUS or MOST bus, and fixed the communication glitch between the control devices, the issue hasn't cropped up again. So fingers crossed, you'll be in the clear once you've had yours seen to as well. It's a one-time hassle but it definitely sorted out all the mess for me. Just remember one thing sorting it sooner rather than later is key. Hope this answers your question and your Scala behaves after its visit to the mechanic! Cheering for you!

Hey again! Cheers for all the insights, they've been massively helpful. 235.00 €, huh? A big chunk of change, but it's good to hear it's a one-off, and the problem didn't return. Gonna book my Scala in as soon as I finish typing this - definitely don't want to risk this building into something worse. Can't thank you enough for sharing your story and advice. I'll drop in an update once everything's sorted. Fingers crossed, eh? Catch you later!
