Re: Jack type

Thanks all, got the kit from Caffyns, came with a scissor jack, and foam to left of tyre to fit the gubbins into. Wow the spacesaver is heavy, I can see why you can get alloy space savers now.

Re: Skoda Connect - don't think I'll bother

I have the same question, my wifes '21 karoq. I cannot imagine she would use the data app, but what do you get for the £65. The dealership did not even attempt to sell that to me, they had a fruitless time with the various insurances and had little clue n the detail of the car, eg not knowing the ke...

All Karoqs will leave the factory with 'long life' oil - they have to, because at that point, no-one knows if they will be set to variable or fixed term servicing.

Re: Service schedule query

Well quite, but it seemed they had the idea that std was 10K or 12 months, I can see why garages would think that was a good idea. The thought that some cars could leave the dealers and not be seen again for 2 years in itself is quite a worry, an early life inspection would make sense. As a previous...

Jack type

Car came with the blow up kit, so would like to add in a real spare, space saver should be fine.

Service schedule query

Picking up the car the dealer I was asking about any running in type issues, he said, no no checks till 10K, I was surprised by the short interval, so they said they could just switch it over to flexible servicing.
