I've been able to just replace the battery without any other actions being needed. But the car does seem very sensitive to the make of battery used. My first replacements were new Duracells, but they generated warnings in the car that the battery needed changing, so I found some Panasonics which the...

The dynamic rear indicators were added as standard for the facelifted cars made since February 2022. The latest brochure mentions them being provided in the SE Drive trim, and does not say they have been removed for the SE L or Sportline trims. The Drive Mode selection button will let you choose bet...

I suspect that the SE Drive is aimed at fleet buyers, but of course there will be private sales as well. Fleet cars are likely to have a higher mileage, but will generally be well maintained. Dealers will order cars from the factory with the options they expect buyers to want to be able to make a qu...

The SE Drive rear seat will have a folding back (probably in a 40/60 split if it's like my Sportline) but doesn't slide forward. However I prefer it to the VarioFlex as mine has a central armrest that folds down while still having a solid panel between the interior of the car and the boot. Although ...

I use one of these which just plugs straight in without needing an adapter.

I tend to keep my cars for 7+ years, so the extra depreciation becomes insignificant. But when my new Golf SV arrived in mid-February 2014, the dealer gave me several hundred pounds off the agreed P/X price if I let him register it in February.

OK, The Skoda lettering across the tailgate and KESSY key that turned off when not moved were introduced for MY2020, ie from August 2019. (The 10th character in the VIN will be 'L') Race Blue and Crystal Black were added as colour options too. The SE Drive trim replaced the earlier SE Nav Plus and S...

1) Details of the differences between the current Karoq trim levels are best explained in the Karoq brochure (at https://www.skoda.co.uk/_doc/c63f4efb-a760-4a48-931f-baad88d42aa6). Older models will be similar, but of course also depend on what options the original owner added. The rear seat back wi...

As belt and braces you can also stop the car reading the KESSY signal when you lock it. Lock the car with the key button, then touch the dimple on the door within a second or so. The car will now ignore the KESSY signal from the car completely. To unlock it, press the unlock button on the key rather...

This is all part of VAG's efforts to reduce the use of paper.

Be thankful that you can still download a full brochure for Skoda cars, unlike VWs and Audis!
