After 4 days of enjoyment behind the wheel, the car was taken back to the dealer for repair today
It was the first time my wife tried on the Superb. She was a bit sceptical about Skoda and wasn't keen to drive it today. But I wanted her to go behind the wheel and see it for herself. I was in the firm belief that she will fall in love with the car.
Well, as soon as she backed the car out of the garage, the horn started to honk. It was continuous as if it had hit a pole or something. The car is otherwise fine, drivable, and no error message or anything show up on the MFD. I thought my wife must have done something funny but she swore she didn't.
We switched the engine off and the horn stopped. This time I started the car, and it was fine, so she drove off. So I thought it must be a woman's thing. Then 2 minutes later, she called again to ask me to rescue her. She said the horn tarted honking again. She restarted the engine and the horn just keeps going as soon as the engine start. It was so loud that it was attracting attention in the neighborhood (What a publicity for Skoda, except in a bad way....). I went and try everything. But it would just keep on honking continuously.
Contacted the dealer, who then send someone to come and have a look. Couldn't fix the problem on site and couldn't drive it back to the workshop. The car was towed........ So far, no one knows what went wrong. The suspiscion is something to do with the KESSY system and the alarm.
With all these disappointment, I have to give commendation to Bryan Byrt Skoda in Brisbane. Very prompt service. They offer me a free loan car while the car is being looked at.
Would appreciate any ideas why the horn would just go off like that. I hope it is a teething problem. Otherwise, the Superb is really superb. I miss it already. Hope I can have it back tomorrow
