Have I a dirty sensor?

Hi,

My Karoq (68 plate) has recently been switching on the headlights/night display far earlier than it used to, and I am wondering if the light sensor is dirty. Anyone any idea where this sensor is located?

Thanks

Re: Skoda Karoq Fuel Filler Flap FYI

Having just had the same "will not open" issue with the fuel flap on my 68 plate 1.5tsi, I approached my main dealer and was met with - not heard of this, bring it in and we'll investigate. Realising the £££ involved, I decided to investigate myself. Eventually it opened - lots of banging ...

Re: Corona Virus - car not going to be used

Thanks very much for the suggestions - I shall have to move it anway, as the passenger door is next to the wall, and I can't open the bonnet without having the passenger door open - I'll take that opportunity to overpressure the tyres to avoid flatspots.

Really appreciate the advice

Corona Virus - car not going to be used

Hi, My wife has an impaired immune system, so under the current recommendations she needs to stay indoors (self -isolate) for 12 weeks. I will also be following the same procedure. Question - what, if anything should I be doing to my Karoq during that period - I know that just starting it up for a f...

Re: Sat Nav update difficulties

Hi MGS_31

It now works - thanks very much for the information - it is obvious that Skoda did not think to cover both types of SatNav in their "how to update" section.

Happy New Year

Re: Sat Nav update difficulties

Hi MGS_31 Even though you had told me page 3, I never thought to go back and read pages 1 and 2 to see what the suggestion actually was. ((Something to do with "old age never comes alone") Having now read, and understood, I will put the new "maps" folder on the Skoda SD card with...

Re: Sat Nav update difficulties

Hi, Thanks for the link - however not being a computer expert, i thought that if you re-format an SD card, everything is wiped, and it will become a virgin SD card, which will not have the "special" Skoda bit that tells the car it actually is a navigation card. I realise there are individu...

Sat Nav update difficulties

My car is a “68 plate” Karoq 1.5 SLi with Amundsen Infosystem fitted. At the recent 10,000 service I enquired about a SatNav update and was told that the dealer does not do it due to poor broadband speed at his premises, however it is quite straightforward to do, follow the Skoda download portal ins...

Rear Fog Lights 1 or 2 ?

Hi, Not having checked before, I find that my SEL only has one rear fog light - I would have expected two. The nearside area where I would have expected one to be appears to have no fittings inside at all. Is this how all Karogs are, or have I a problem with mine? Incidentally, quite surprised to fi...
