Re: Skoda's KESSY System

My 2018 has the system where you lock the car with the key button and within 5 seconds touch the dimple on the handle. The red light on the door then flashes fast.

Re: high engine oil level

This is due to failed DPF regenerations. The system raises the combustion temperature by pumping extra diesel into the combustion chamber to raise the temperature in the exhaust and burn off the carbon deposits . If the regen is stopped or incomplete then the extra diesel washes down the bores to th...

Re: KESSY Keyless entry

Yes, back of the hand is the way to go.
It is too easy to touch the inside of the handle, confusing the lock/unlock system. Back of the hand precludes this confusion.

Re: Parcel shelf replacement

Re roll up type. Mine sagged near the end of the 3 year warranty. Dealer replaced it before warranty ran out. I now no longer keep it permanently fixed to the hatch.

Sorry to state the obvious but you do have the batteries in the correct way round?

Is there a little red light on the key fob?

Re: DSG Gearing

I find a slight lift of the throttle will get the car to change up. I find this more so in a lower gear. I run my car in Eco mode which changes up earlier anyway.

Re: Headlight adjust - Europe

Have you complained to the dealer?
Make enough noise and you might get a free service out of it.
