My issue of constantly asking for the S-PIN and then hanging the system seems to have magically fixed itself. Suspect it was a backend server issue all along, and the deleting accounts, factory resets were a waste of time.

Might have too.

Well this means that first set rattled, replacement set now rattling. Assume a third set I’ll do too 😩

@ZacDaMan72Ahhh... got it. The pads the car came with never rattled, only these new ones (not from Skoda as to was vastly more expensive) which I can't imagine are made to the same tolerances. ETB have said that they have not had other Kodiaq's they've used the same Doscs and pads on rattle. I have no reason to think they are lying. I personally think my dealer needs to investigate more closely. The clunk/rattle sound is louder toward the centre of the car and if the other wheel hits something I can cause a less loud more muted rattle as I believe its shaking the left side too where the issue lies. This makes me think even more its suspension related not brakes.

Hi Zac, thanks for the info. The front pads they showed me look nothing like this, but more like this:

Thanks Mike. Very helpful 👍🏼 Have asked my dealer to do a proper check at the next service along with other components.

Thats the plan

They assure me they are correct and it’s what their supplier has on their system. Skoda dealer says I should have had official Skoda parts fitted (well they would at their prices). As a non expert I have no idea if they are.

Hi, anyone experienced this or have any insight? Had my brakes and discs replaced by a local ETB (Skoda was nearly double the cost) and all was OK for while until I started to hear a clunking from under the car on the front nearside when going over most (but not all) bumps. I don't get this clunking from any other wheels that I can tell. My Skoda dealer took a look at the suspension but they found nothing amiss, but they suggested the non original brake pads were not tight and were moving in the holders slightly causing the clunking. Back to ETB and they found one of the spring clips (these are part of the pads) was compressed so they swapped it out. Clunking went, but has now returned. They said they have never had this issue on other Kodiaq's they've done - I have no reason to doubt this. If I brake whilst going over bumps that I know cause the clunking, the noise doesn't happen, so I am assuming it's still brake related. Are there any other parts under there that would be held firm whilst braking that could be the culprit? Not a mechanic so have no idea really. Google (always dangerous) suggests it maybe: It's your brake pads moving around in the callipers because you have no shim kit. Touching the brakes makes the rattle go away, that's how you know it's your pads Ball Joint Tie bar Sway bar So, if not the brakes then I need to go back to Skoda and get them to look again armed with a bit more knowledge. Kinda stuck between ETB and Skoda for a resolution right now - ETB are being very good at helping so I will take one of their guys out on a test drive to see if it sheds anymore light on the culprit. Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Annoying, but hey. Will stick with the way it is. No apology needed mate. Send device back for a refund from Amazon (which was accepted) and cancelled the subscription before I was charged.

Well I meant it in the loosest of terms Anyway, I’m not messing anymore. Refunds in progress. Will put up with the Kodiaq’s lazy throttle for a year before it goes back.

Oh! Well that’s confusing indeed then 😬 Will leave the car hacking to others I think.

Confused, what has power steering to do with the throttle setting?

Thanks for the insight. Mine has the older style steering wheel, CD player, and USB-A only socket. It made a difference in quite a negative way for me, so certainly changed things. Getting a refund from Amazon and have cancelled the subscription, so not out of pocket.

Well. Bought the Carista. Changed the setting. For me it’s made things even less responsive not more. Slower to pick up pace and more hesitant to kick down - Sport also feels less responsive. So changed setting back again.
