Skoda ADAS Calibration. From £162 Per System.

The Mk3 Superb (2015 onward) carries its front radar low in the nose, behind the bumper and grille area, and Front Assist reads the road through it. Take the bumper off and refit it, replace the radar bracket, or catch a deep pothole, and the radar's aim can shift by a fraction of a degree. The system flags the mismatch and shuts Front Assist down rather than act on readings it can't trust.

A typical case looks like this: bumper repaired after a low-speed knock, everything looks straight, 'Front Assist unavailable' on the first drive home. The repair is fine; the calibration step that re-aims the radar is missing. That job is a front radar calibration, £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.

It can look that way. Most of the time the cause is water and soap film sitting over the radar, which blinds the sensor temporarily; the warning clears once it dries. The rarer, persistent case is a high-pressure lance flexing the radar's mounting enough to move its aim, especially where the bracket has taken knocks before.

Sometimes the warning clears on its own after a restart or a few miles. When it stays on, a calibration is what brings Front Assist back: the centre runs Skoda's documented calibration procedure against the target board and the certificate records the post-job readings. It's priced as one system, front radar, £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT).

Front Assist doesn't run on the radar alone. It uses wheel-speed data from the ABS sensors alongside the radar and camera readings, and replacing a sensor can leave fault codes on the car's network that keep the system offline even after the ABS side is working again.

The sensible starting point is a diagnostic scan rather than a straight calibration attempt: the scan shows whether the stored codes just need clearing or the radar is genuinely flagging for recalibration. Where calibration is needed, front radar runs at £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre. A diagnostic scan, when your job needs one, is priced and itemised separately.

Travel Assist on the Enyaq steers and holds lane through the forward camera mounted behind the windscreen. Fit a new screen and the camera's view shifts, even when the fitting is perfect, so the system stops trusting its readings until they're recalibrated. Lane Assist usually drops at the same time because it reads the same camera.

The fix is a static calibration of the forward camera, run on a level workshop floor against the Skoda-spec target board. Once the readings sit inside Skoda's tolerance, Travel Assist comes back. That's a front camera calibration: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.

Yes. Side Assist runs on two radars in the rear bumper corners, and they calibrate separately from the front radar behind the nose that drives Front Assist and adaptive cruise. Replace the rear bumper, take a knock to the rear quarter, or disturb the mountings and Side Assist needs realigning before it will report reliably again.

A blind spot radar calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre. If the same visit needs front work as well, the systems calibrate together: the highest-priced system is full price and each additional system is 35% off at a centre.

ADAS work at a Skoda dealer has come in anywhere from £300 to £900 in quotes customers have shown us, and the spread owes more to each dealer's labour pricing than to the work on the car. The procedure doesn't change with the badge over the door: our centres run the same documented Skoda calibration procedure and the certificate records the post-job readings either way.

Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), front radar is the same, with the full rate card on this page. Two or more systems in one visit: the highest-priced system is full price and each additional system is 35% off at a centre. Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue.
