Problems with weak lights and battery in the 2019 Kodiaq Skoda (diesel engine) - possible temperature sensor fault

Hey, I actually had a similar problem with my 2017 Skoda Octavia (petrol engine). It turned out the battery temperature sensor was faulty. I had to pay about 315 euros for it. That was probably the reason for the low lights and low battery when starting the engine. Which exact model do you have? Is your Kodiaq an automatic or a manual? The more information you give, the better we can help you.

Hey, thanks for your answer! My Kodiaq is a diesel with automatic transmission. It has about 32689 km on it. If the problem really is the temperature sensor and I also have to pay 315 euros for it, that would of course be annoying. But at the end of the day, I just want my car to run smoothly again. I'll probably have to contact my garage. Do you have any tips on what I should look out for when I contact them?

Hi, I completely understand how stressful a problem like this can be. When I took my car to the garage back then, I gave them detailed information about everything that was wrong. I explained to them about the flickering lights, the weak battery when starting the engine, everything. I think it's really helpful to be as detailed as possible. If the temperature sensor is the problem, they should be able to determine that easily. But of course, it would be better for the wallet if that wasn't the case. As for the cost, it depends very much on the workshop. In my case, 315 euros was the amount for replacing the sensor and the cost of the work. So when you call your garage, I recommend being as specific as possible and perhaps also asking if they can give an initial estimate of what you can expect to pay. They may not be able to say exactly what it might be without seeing the vehicle, but they could certainly give an approximate price. I hope this helps you and you can resolve the issue soon. It's never great when the car does what it wants. Good luck!

Thanks for your tips! Yes, it's definitely stressful, especially because I need the car every day. I will take your advice to be as detailed as possible when I speak to my garage. It's good to know that replacing the temperature sensor solved the problem for you and also how much it cost approximately. I certainly hope that the cost won't be that high for me, but I will prepare myself for it. Thanks again for your help guys! I will try to give an update soon.
