Problem: Flickering lights and weak battery in Skoda Kodiaq 2018

Dim or flickering lights

Weak battery when starting the engine

Hi friends, my 2018 Skoda Kodiaq with just under 37,000 kilometers is having a few problems at the moment. The lights are flickering or dark and the battery seems to be low when starting, I suspect I have problems with the battery sensor. Has anyone experienced similar problems before? I had a bad run in with the mechanic the other day and hope to be better prepared this time. Looking forward to hearing your experiences and suggestions. Thank you very much!

Hi, it sounds like you have a similar problem to the one I recently had with my 2016 Skoda Yeti. Not only were the lights flickering, but the car battery was also causing problems when starting. It wasn't a minor fault, so I had to take it to the garage. Found out that the starter motor was broken and the battery was almost flat. It was quite stressful, but thanks to good advice the problem was quickly solved. Maybe you could check if it's similar for you. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the helpful insight! Your experience actually sounds pretty similar to what I'm going through right now.... Can you remember how much you had to shell out for the repair? And have you had any other issues since then that might be starter or battery related? Thanks again!

Hello, yes, I remember it very well. The repair of the faulty power supply wasn't exactly cheap, costing me around €270. But since the visit to the mechanic, everything has been running smoothly. The fault in the vehicle battery sensor was rectified and there have been no more problems since then. So, in my opinion, it's worth having it checked. It did cost a bit, but the peace of mind it brought was worth every penny. Hope this helps you! Just let me know if you have any further questions.

Hey, thanks for the detailed answer! That's insightful and gives me a good overview. A bit pricey, but you're right, peace of mind is priceless. Your help has given me the confidence to visit the mechanic and also to better understand what's going on with my car. I wish you continued safe driving without any problems and I hope I can soon be just as relaxed on the roads! Thanks again and see you next time!
