All 2 Known Issues
On the 2020-2025 Skoda Enyaq EV — 58/77/82 kWh, enyaq shares the MEB platform with VW ID.3/ID.4/ID.5 — including the well-documented 12V auxiliary battery drain issue. Modules don't enter proper sleep, draining the 12V in days of inactivity. When 12V dies, vehicle refuses to boot even though HV battery is full. VW Group released multiple software updates (Software 3.0+) addressing many cases but some Enyaqs remain affected.
Common Symptoms
- Vehicle won't boot/start after sitting
- Charging port locked closed
- Dashboard dark when entering vehicle
- Multiple warning lights when jumped
How to Fix
Update to latest software (3.5+ as of 2024). If 12V damaged, replace (~€200 AGM). Park with charging cable connected if available — keeps 12V topped via DC-DC converter.
On the 2020-2024 Skoda Enyaq, enyaq's 13-inch infotainment screen (running MIB3 software on MEB platform) suffers frequent freezing, black screens, and unresponsive touch. Climate controls are largely software-mediated on this car, so freezes can also disable HVAC. Mirrors the same complaints across VW ID series.
Common Symptoms
- Touchscreen unresponsive
- Black/frozen display
- Climate controls inoperative
- CarPlay/Android Auto disconnects
How to Fix
Hard reset via long-press of volume knob (5-10 seconds). Dealer software updates progressively improve stability. Software 3.5+ resolved most reboots for most owners by 2024.
