Re: Dq200 dry dsg gear box

The dealer has spoken to Skoda and they have agreed to apply the extended 4-year warranty. It’s only because of reports about the unreliability of the dry clutch DSG that I wanted the extended warranty to cover all repairs. Otherwise the Karoq is absolutely brilliant and a worthy successor to our Ye...

Re: Dq200 dry dsg gear box

Oh dear! Skoda UK has confirmed that our Karoq is fitted with the dry clutch gearbox. I now have an issue to take up with the dealer over the extended warranty. It was on my list of options but the sales person hadn't included it and said it could be taken up for the fourth year. However, I've now f...

Re: Dq200 dry dsg gear box

We bought a 1.5 TSi 150PS 2WD DSG on June 28th and I have finally had it confirmed by the dealer that it is definitely fitted with the wet clutch DSG.

Re: Happy Birthday Jimmy of Whitby

Thanks for your greetings. I had a lovely day and enjoyed being 70. I spent the day at Sutton Bank: are there enough Karoq owners within reasonable distance of it to have a get-together? Yeti owners met twice there and it was lovely to put faces to names and have a chat over a cuppa.

Re: What does this icon indicate?

Many thanks. I'm still waiting for a link from Skoda to set it up. Mrs J of W has an Android 'phone and Wlan is 'free' for year 1, so I'll have a play.

What does this icon indicate?

On the main display, to the left of the time at the top, is a red logo which looks like a map of Africa. I can't find it in the handbook so can anyone help please. Thanks J

Re: Another Ex Yeti man

Hi FDW. After a longer drive today, I totally agree: we've fallen in love with our 'K'. Smoother, more sophisticated, brilliant DSG, limo-like driving experience. Much more to find out, but although we miss our Yeti's shape, hey it's the 21st Century and what a car!!

Side protectors

Another query from a Newby. The Yeti had bump protectors on the side, but the Karoq's are too low down to be of any use against careless door openers. Are there any good looking after-market ones to recommend?

Nets

We collected our Karoq on Friday but as it’s been a busy weekend, I’ll give some thoughts on the K after some more driving. However, I can’t work out where the three nets fit. The one I kept from our Yeti is long enough to stretch under the dog guard to let me store things behind, but the other thre...

Re: Hello

Welcome to the world of the Karoq Guyboy. We are collecting our Karoq on Friday and it's the same colour as yours. We love the DSG on our Yeti, but maybe the 7-speed plus a petrol engine has diferent characteristics. It seems like a number of Yeti owners are migrating to the Karoq, but if the Yeti w...
