Re: SOS Error: Emergency Call Workshop!
I've just got rid of my almost two year old 1.5 dsg SE L petrol while I could get a good price for it. If Skoda can't sort this problem out by way of a recall, I had visions of it causing major problems when the car is out of warranty and I would have had to fork out to get it sorted. I know it's ca...

Re: Total battery discharge with caravan attached.
I have now taken delivery of my new caravan and the guy doing the handover at Lowdhams seemed quite knowledgeable so I explained the situation to him. He said it depends on who has wired the car up for the caravan connectivity. Some do it so that it's just connected to the car's live wiring and othe...

Re: Total battery discharge with caravan attached.
Having researched the costs of UK Caravan sites, it looks like I'll be continuing French holidays, so will be making regular overnight ferry crossings. I'm just going to make a point of disconnecting the caravan electrics from the vehicle. If I get the chance to speak to someone who fits towing kit ...

Re: Total battery discharge with caravan attached.
As I thought with caravan battery. Incidentally, unless the law has changed, it's 60 mph for towing on motorways and dual carriageways unless a lower limit is in force. It comes down to 50 mph on single carriageways. Compliance with traffic laws has gone down the pan anyway since the powers that be ...

Total battery discharge with caravan attached.
I have just brought my caravan back from France where it has been kept in storage for the last 7 years. My Karoq 1.5 TSI SE L DSG is now just over a year old and although I've only done just over 5000 miles from new, it has not caused me the slightest problem. The towing kit was fitted by a local fi...

Re: E5 v E10 fuel
I've tried the higher octane fuel a couple of times now and noticed no difference whatsoever. I've had the car long enough to be able to notice even a slight difference in performance, so I'm pretty sure the lower octane is the best to use. I always had diesels previously and regularly filled up wit...

Re: automatic gearbox
It's my first auto and I find it superb. I drive in "Eco" all the time - just find it a pain to have to remember to switch it to eco every time I set off. If I need to do a quick overtaking manoeuvre or when I want engine braking, it's just a matter of a quick pull of the gear lever to kno...

Re: Sat Nav issue - help please
I've just taken the easy option as I did with my Kia Sorento - just plug in the Tom Tom.

Re: “Showroom shine”
I'll try to summarise without boring you for too long. I've had 55 years with motors and like to keep them looking good. Don't fall for the Salesman pushing a super duper last for ever finish on your car for a discounted couple of hundred quid which will give him a super duper commission. Don't use ...

Re: Awaiting my Skoda Karoq
I got mine from Marshall Skoda at Milton Keynes. No problems - I got it when they said I would and I've now done nearly 2000 miles. No problems at all apart from the crappy wiper blades which I replaced with Bosch. Fantastic motor - love the DSG gearbox - my first ever automatic. Performs well, but ...
