Re: Questions for non Karoq owner (Kessy, rear seats, specs)

I call it the 50p syndrome. All car dealers look at the small things. Sell a million cars and save 50p on each one, work it out. Some time after I bought my SeL (at Christmas 2018) they dropped the interior light/torch in the boot. 50p syndrome again. Sometimes it's more than 50p e.g. the Led headli...

Re: Additional key

My initial thought was Timpsons but the Karoq doesn't show on their website. You could try the AA https://www.theaa.com/breakdown-cover/key-assist?infinity=ict2~net~gaw~cmp~11485893307~ag~115160958434~ar~600504442791~kw~%2Bspare%20%2Bcar%20%2Bkey~mt~b~acr~6262077566&&&infinity=ict2~net~g...

Re: Hello from a soon to be Karoq owner

Aero trim removal is here: OK, just picked up the car today, and I asked the dealer to show me how to remove the aero covers (apart from the appearance, I had also specified a temporary spare wheel so in the case of a puncture, I’d need to know how to do it anyway). One of the mechanics helpfully sh...

Re: Drive Mode and other questions.

My 2018 petrol, DSG SeL has flappy paddles on the steering wheel. If I need a quick overtake on an ordinary road I just drop two gears using the left paddle and then floor the accelerator. This is quicker than waiting for the kick down to work. To get back to the previous drive mode I then just hold...

Re: Questions for non Karoq owner (Kessy, rear seats, specs)

Another factor with dealers selling discounted cars is that are not necessarily demos. I bought a month old "new" car with 64 miles on the clock. It would not have been a demo (dealers normally have to keep demos much longer before Skoda allow them to be sold). These cars may have been tak...
