Noticed someone on Facebook claim the Kodiaq they have:

My only criticism is that like any new model there's a few annoying rattles inside the cabin and the drivers rear door wouldn't shut unless slammed due to the door protector that pops out.

It's to be expected on any new model but wondered if anyone else has any annoying niggles that have started yet?

Mine is silent in every respect. No rattles, unwanted noises, noting. Either that car had not been PDId lot of it had the dealer sold by shot.
Frankly, I don't beloved it. Skoda check all the cars coming off the line so thoroughly, taking a day to do so.

 

[Gizmo68]

My Superb (one of the fist MK3s) was silent for the first couple of thousand miles, then a couple started to appear.

All but one has been sorted under warranty

I've 1200km on the clock of my Kodiaq and haven't had a single rattle and I've been over all kids of roads. Also no problem with doors. Fingers crossed it will stay like that 👍

 

[Shera81]

No rattles on mine yet at all, in fact I was opening the rear door the other day and thought it was squeezing, then I realised it was the sound of the wooden fence panel moving behind me 😂 Reminded me of the old Golf advert with the squeaky earrings!

You do have to shut the doors quite hard, but only because they are solid.

I've been really impressed with the build quality of mine so far.

Mine has a rattle in rear offside door so will need to get it sorted but that is the only one so far with 400 miles on the clock. My scout was great and none even after 2 years.

I've found horible pic on German forum. I know that the production has just started and there are going to be some child illnesses. BUT I was one of the first buyers of new Grand Scenic and after 7.5 years it is still in great condition!!!

 

[Colin Lambert]

HHMM! This is the second picture on the forum of the same piece coming adrift. I shall have to watch mine carefully!

 

[romanv]

Actually this poor guy has the same problem also on the rear door.

Would be interesting to know if this is a pre-prod model ( used for demos ) or a customer vehicle ...

Actually from an enthusiastic Kodiaq owner: https://www.skoda-kodiaq-forum.de/index.php?thread/510-die-ersten-1000km-sind-runter-kleiner-zwischenbericht/&postID=12253#post12253

Otherwise he is satisfied with the car.

I have that exact problem on the front passengers door. Was delivered to me like that. I've flagged it with the dealer and they said they will look at it when i drop it in. Was disappointed that it wasn't picked up on by factory or dealer before I took delivery. Having said that it looks like it was assembled in a hurry and should be easily to rectify by dealer so not a major issue...... I hope.

On a different note I've a big problem with my hands free. Quality of calls varies from not great to awful and when under acceleration the person at the other end of the call hears a whirling noise. The same problem is there if I'm connected by blue tooth or plugged in by the cable. Has anyone else anything similar?

Have you got a heated windscreen?

 

[Deise17]

Hi bigboss. No don't have heated windscreen.

Hi Deise17
Sorry to hear about that door handle issue. Hope it a quick and simple fix.
On a side note what's the avg fuel consumption you're getting?

 

[jackiedada]

Is this a problem with black interiors only or have people with the beige interiors also experienced similar quality issues?

 

[MoominPapa]

Demo I saw with same problem had beige interior. Same parts and mouldings. One to look out for. I suspect the design of the handle being so close to the hinge has a large bearing on this with a poor fulcrum point.

Hi Skod1ak,

I've just over 4K up on my Kodiaq. I'm getting around 45 - 50 mpg depending on my run e.g. Short trip into town, sitting in traffic from work or trip up the country.

Having said that on the one occasion when I've been really careful I've got 60mpg which was over a 45 mile trip. Couldn't be more than happy with those figures espically considering the size of the machine.

 

[$k0d1ak]

That's great, thanks Deise17
