Re: Clips on boot rail

If it is two little notches forming a 'hook' then I'm fairly certain that these are for securing the nets.

Re: Tray in centre console

I had an "ashtray for cup holder" with lid on my yeti. It fits in the cup 'hole' in the Karoq and I keep coins in it for parking

Re: Grease on front wheel

Urgent dealer safety problem.
Do you really want grease around the calliper and thus the disc brake?

Re: Key failure with no warning

Just like the washer "top up" that you pay for on a dealer service, changing the key fob battery will turn into something the dealer does every time (and charges you for the pleasure).

Re: Skoda Connect - don't think I'll bother

VW plug worked for me. Just make sure you use the Skoda Connect Lite website and not the VW one. The VW site won't recognise the Skoda Vin Number. Being a 'glass half empty' person this threw me for a while.
I like it.

Re: Karoq ride comfort and quality

Take a test drive (Covid allowing) and look at the wheels fitted. If it's on 19" rims then try one on 17' or 18' (or even 16"). Personally I don't understand the fashion for big rims. They are more susceptible to kerb/pothole damage, the tyres are more expensive and the ride is harsher. Ch...

Re: Start / stop

The battery is only charging under certain circumstances most commonly on overrun.

I needed to do a longer journey last week and for a short period the start/stop began working again.

I don't worry about it.
