Re: 1.5 Diesel DSG

I've had 4 cars now, all with speed limiter, and never used it once. If I want to limit my speed, I use the cruise control, even in a 30 speed limit, even better with the adaptive cruise and DSG. I know it's sounds stupid, but if I was to set the limiter, and require an instant burst of speed, I thi...

Re: Karoq SE Headrests

Surely you should be able to move them up or down, adjustment for different heights of peoples heads. I saw a video where they could not do this. The got a screwdriver and removed the plastic caps and underneath was the two side buttons that you press to enable you to either raise or lower, then pus...

Re: SE features

That's the problem with todays car sales persons. They don't know what extra's come with each spec!! They have all the information at their finger tips, but are too bone idle even to swat up on the cars they sell. This is generally typical to the vast majority of all car sales people. A little bit o...

Re: Karoq Edition 1.5 TSI DSG - Advice on Tekky Stuff

The Adaptive Cruise Control on my 2019 Polo will be the same on your motor. Once you have switched on the ACC on the wheel, you can set the distance from the car in front of you, (this will be in your handbook) If you have an auto box, if the car in front slows to a stop, so will you, once the car i...

Re: Karoq Edition 1.5 TSI DSG - Advice / Internet Broker / Spare Wheel and Stuff

The same question came up on another forum I was in. The rim on a skinny tyre is normally an 1" smaller than the rims on the car. It's not the clever suspension that levels things up! If you place the skinny spare wheel against the tyre on the car, they are the same diameter. The side wall of t...

Re: Cannot make my mind up?

Thank you Colin for your reply, like yourself, I had a hip replacement about 5/6 years ago, and it's been fine, no trouble what's so ever, and to be honest, I like the taller motors.

Cannot make my mind up?

Hi to all members, At the moment I have a VW 2018 Polo 115, DSG. The Mrs has a bad hip and finds getting out over the seat bolsters difficult. I'm either looking at a VW T-Cross or a Karoq or Kamiq. With the T-Cross it has the same dash as the Polo, so I might be sitting higher, it will seem the sam...
