Skoda fixing squeaky door noises in the Kushaq

It is a widely reported issue and to rectify the problem, Skoda is providing the new door beadings which are readily available.

Hi,

There's this widely reported issue w.r.t squeaky noises coming from the Kushaq. Dealerships are replacing the door beadings upon continuous follow-up. They first treated this by applying some lubricant on the door rubbers for 3 visits. When I was fed up and tried to escalate the issue, they said that Skoda OEM is providing the new door beadings which are readily available.

I was furious about why they didn't do that in the first place. But, now they did it and 90% of the noise faded away (this is after 10 days from replacement).

If this is nothing new to you, please ignore it. If not, maybe can share with the group so that existing customers can try for resolution on this issue.

Thank you.

Here's what BHPian RD150 had to say about the matter:

Yes, Skoda was wrong in launching the Kushaq without testing it much. Yes, Skoda deserves the bashing for the EPC saga, roof liner and other build issues. But the way Skoda has reacted to it is commendable and confidence-inspiring. They have been quick in taking corrective actions. Yes, they deserved all the trolling and bashing but at the same time, they do deserve some praise for sorting out these issues. Well done Skoda, all the best for Slavia.

Here's what BHPian abhishek_hch had to say about the matter:

This is a big, big issue with both Kushaq and Taigun. I have test driven 3-4 Kushaqs till now and this was a noticeable problem in most of them. On an extended test drive of 40 km of 1.5 DSG Kushaq, this noise was extremely noticeable. The SA said something to the effect of that particular car having crashed, which did not sound very convincing.

Yesterday, test drove 1.5 DSG and 1.0 AT versions of Taigun and this noise was there to the point of being irritating in the 1.5 one. It was present even in 1.0 to a lesser extent.

Hope VAG solves this issue at the earliest.
