Skoda Kodiaq problems again and again the starter does not work

Hey, I had similar problems with my 2016 Skoda Superb Diesel. I experienced similar symptoms: longer starting time, occasional starting problems, strange engine noises and dim lights. At the garage, it turned out that the fault was due to a problem in the vehicle's electrics. To be more precise, it was a subsequent fault related to a defective control unit. The control unit had to be replaced and the wiring checked. It wasn't a quick fix, but the whole thing ultimately resolved the problem. Sounds like a more serious matter, it's best to have it checked out in more detail by the workshop! Best regards!

Hey, thanks for your answer! That sounds pretty similar to my problem. Do you remember how much you paid for the repair? Were there any further difficulties afterwards or was everything okay again? Best regards!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! So, after I went to the mechanic, they found the fault and fixed it. It turned out that the problem was related to the vehicle electronics and was a consequential fault. More specifically, the control unit was faulty and some cable connections had to be checked and redone. The best thing about it was that the repair costs were €0 because it was a fault caused by a previous defect in the vehicle's electrical system. Since then, the engine has started perfectly again and I have had no further problems. I hope this helps you! Best regards!

Hey, that sounds great that it could be solved for you without any additional costs! So, I took my Skoda to the garage and told them exactly what symptoms we had discussed. The mechanics then carried out a thorough diagnosis and actually found a fault in the control unit. Fortunately, it wasn't too expensive for me because it was still partly covered by the extended warranty. After replacing the control unit and checking the wiring, the car runs like clockwork again. No more strange noises, the lights work perfectly and the starting problem in cold weather has also disappeared. I'm really relieved that the problem has been fixed so well. Thanks again for the tip - it really helped me! Best regards!
