Re: Electric tailgate stopped working
Alas, the left hand side strut has failed again. On inspection it was the brown wire broken again following my earlier repair. Because the right hand side strut is still ok I can’t really say it’s bad quality/design but a friend with a Mercedes c class estate equipped with electric tailgate seem muc...

Start/Stop Button
The start/stop button on our 2018 Karoq has gradually deteriorated, it seems more difficult to start the engine even though the Push button operates perfectly freely. Replacement units vary in price from around £50 from Skoda to £10 on eBay (Chinese supplier). Time to look to YouTube. Short video cl...

Re: Electric tailgate stopped working
Hi, yes similar problem that I have had, great photo btw. I removed the strut completely from the car & repaired it on the bench. It isn’t an easy task, the interior trim is so well fitted, so really difficult to get access. The strut wiring is connected by a multi wire plug & socket behind ...

Re: Key failure with no warning
Hi Michelle, our Karoq has been fine, no problem with a Panasonic battery. Plus still have spare battery/batteries in the glove box just in case it happens away from home. Electric tailgate, another story. The tailgate failed to close, just beeped 3 times. This is the second time this has happened &...

Electric tailgate stopped working
Hi, my experience will, hopefully, help Karoq owners who encounter similar problem. Scenario was, tailgate fully opened using tailgate button but would not close. It just beeped whichever way we tried to close it, the only way to close it was to force it manually (it takes quite an effort). I search...

Re: Electric tailgate question
Thanks for all your input. I think I have ‘cracked it’ , I can use the key fob to open the tailgate from up to quite a distance but need to be within approx 2m to close it by one press of the button. I am pleased it’s working but puzzled how it’s taken me this long to understand the operation, fadin...

Re: Electric tailgate question
Thanks Tom,
I did get it to work earlier but not sure how! Then the thunderstorm arrived so left to investigate further using your guidance notes. Btw ours is a keyless version.

Electric tailgate question
Hi, since we bought our Karoq Edition back in March 2018 it has puzzled me why we can’t close the tailgate remotely, either by using key fob or the button on the drivers door. It works perfectly otherwise. I thought I saw one in video clip somewhere closing using key fob? Am I missing something or i...
