r/skoda

I guess logically I’ll have a mk3 next

I've just bought a 2012 Monte Carlo fabia and want to upgrade the radio to allow Android Auto. I've googled it but the results are confusing me. Most of the radios seem very specific for which models they are/aren't compatible with.

This is a photo of the radio unit... Can anyone advise?

Ty!

Bought this 2018 Kodiaq last August/September time at about 78k miles.

Had 90 day warranty, during which time the mechatronic went and was thankfully replaced FOC.

I decided to pay £500 for another 12 months warranty.

Earlier this year, after a service (90k) I mentioned that the DSG sometimes doesn't "find" D after R. This can result in what feels like the clutch being dropped. From D to R is always fine, moving through D1-D7 is also always fine.

It doesn't always happen - better hot than cold - at its worse it waits until you've got 2-3kRPM before it "BANGS" into gear.

August it got booked back in to the garage, now with a faulty heater motor too (no hot or cold air - fans completely stopped).
Garage has taken a look, thinks the DSG problem is something to do with the clutch

Warranty people want a full strip down to confirm the issue. Garage trying to do everything they can with Skoda technical support to avoid this cost on me.

The deal is - Warranty will only pay for about 1hr of diagnostics. A full strip down is going to be about 5hrs (5 @ £150 p/h).

The car was booked in for 1 day, this turned into 4 days with Skoda garage going back and forth with technical.

Clearly it needs to be fixed so in a way, I'm answering my own question here BUT:

What's the likelihood this isn't a mechanical fault not covered by warranty?

My argument is, unlike a manual, I can't really do anything to abuse the clutch on a DSG.

I have asked the warranty to provide circumstances which they won't cover it - they say they take their advice from the garage. I have asked the garage to confirm what the lifetime of the clutch is (now at 102k miles), they say there is no "lifetime" stated nor is it a serviceable item.
= to me that this surely comes down to a mechanical fault.

With no end in sight, and the garage waiting on another set of feedback from "technical", I have asked for the quote for repairs.

Process seems to be - we will likely need to strip it, I have to accept the potential cost of this, they find the issue - hopefully it's the clutch and mechanical fault, warranty approve repairs and absorb all costs.

What are peoples's thoughts?
