New Octavia battery discharging

tonygriffiths · 27-05-2006, 21:42

I’ve not look at the forum for a while- so this may already have been covered. My Octavia new 2 litre diesel went in for an oil change last week and the dealer took the opportunity to reprogram the radio to stop the battery discharging. He described this as “recall” - though I had received no notification of this from Skoda. On two occasions the battery of my diesel has discharged (over a period of 10 days standing), but each time the dealer could find no apparent fault.

Has it done it since the radio reprogram?

No chance to test it yet. The car only did it when standing for some time - I believe 7 days was the shorter of the two occasions.

It should be sorted now since the update.
