Skoda Enyaq HV Battery Repair at 110,000 Miles! OUT OF WARRANTY!

OGS & Mechanics' George has a warning on the dashboard and a Skoda Enyaq with 110,000 miles behind it. The warranty has run out, but the workshop's diagnosis doesn't call for throwing out the whole high-voltage battery.

Instead, the fault leads to one imbalanced module. Getting to it is the substantial part of the job: the team lowers the battery pack from beneath the car, then removes more than a hundred bolts to open its cover.

The Short has drawn about 88,000 views in its first half-day, far ahead of the channel's usual Shorts start. Its comment section is already busier than a typical full first day, with viewers discussing access to the modules, repairability and, especially, the bill.

Inside the pack, diagnostic readings identify the fifth module as the one needing replacement. The mechanics remove it, clean away the old thermal paste and apply fresh paste before fitting its replacement. Once connected, the readings return to the values George wants. The pack goes back into the Enyaq, and the dashboard warnings clear.

George puts labour at £1,800 plus VAT, with a sourced used module costing around £650 rather than roughly £2,000 for a new one. That breakdown becomes a story of its own in the comments: the most-liked response asks him to keep including repair costs, while others focus on being able to replace a section rather than the complete pack.

Nice to see MEB modules being easy to access compared to some other brands.

At least they're repairable and no need to replace the entire high voltage battery.
