Hello, thanks for the quick reply and the helpful tips! I didn't really have a battery problem on the screen. So I'll have the main battery checked first. Can you remember how much the repair cost you? And has anything similar occurred again since the battery change? Many thanks!

Hello, I'm glad I could help! So after the battery change it was actually quiet, nothing similar has reappeared. The repair cost me €110. The problem with the emergency battery in the emergency call system had already been fixed by then. Since I've been to the mechanic, it's been sorted. It was just the emergency battery that was faulty. But after the repair, everything runs like clockwork. So I hope that everything runs smoothly with your Skoda after the main battery has been checked. Keep your fingers crossed! Best regards!

Hello, Oh, that's good to hear! Well, if it really is just the battery, €110 is a price I can live with. I'm glad to know that you haven't had any further problems since replacing the battery. Thanks for your advice and wishes. I will go to the garage sometime next week and have the battery checked. I hope for the best of course! Best regards back!

Hello, I had a similar problem with my 2015 Skoda Superb last year. When starting the car, the battery voltage became low and it seemed as if the light was flickering. After a short time, the battery warning light even came on. I then took the car to the garage. It turned out that there was indeed a problem with the battery, but not necessarily with the emergency battery. It was the main battery that had given up the ghost. The mechanic replaced it and the problem was solved. The lights have not flickered since then and the battery voltage was completely normal again when starting the car. So I would recommend that you first check the main battery or have it checked. This could also be the case for you. It wasn't a serious problem, but you shouldn't ignore it completely. I hope that helps you. All the best!
