I'm not craving additional power but if someone can sort a workround...

Photos, how to guide and list of parts I used in this post : - Thanks. AG Falco

Can you describe the OEM behaviour of the lights? Do they increase in intensity with proximity? Do they behave differently if you are indicating at the same time as something in your blind spot? Going to have a go at fitting my non-OEM kit this week and see how it compares. Will then look to connect to OEM lights in the wing mirrors if it works well. Also can you describe how much coding was required and did you have to remove component protection? Just in case I decide to go down the OEM route.

Ours is 71 plate. Bought September 2021. Very early facelift mk1. And has no driver aids other then front assist for crash prevention. I guess this was probably the last of the models without them as it’s close to yours @Bap33 in age. I haven’t tried disabling start stop. But I have used a module from AliExpress in my superb which works very well. Have you considered that?

I have a 2021 L&K and I have heated and cooling front seats but the rear are only heated. Perhaps you have the same? @numskull - you have a 2016 L&K? Do you have heated and cooled front and heated-only rear?

I took it to a tuner a couple of weeks ago and they said they could either send the ECU to Germany to be unlocked or I can just wait until somebody in the future finds a way to unlock it. The only other option is to get a tuning box but I’m not really very keen on these as they just trick the ECU. I will probably just leave it as standard for the time being

Yeah, i came from a Tdi 184 Octy but she had to go due to change of job / routine. I'll get used to it, it's a neat car and i'm happy, nearly mint conditi9n for 2 years old. So there's no way round tbe locked ECU ?

Check to see if it has a spare wheel or that horrible gunk you spray into a flat tyre which, if it has, will almost certainly be out of date. Plenty of get you home wheels and jacks on Ebay. Also consider the adjustable boot floor.

Don't over think it. My current car (2018) 1.5 DSG is the first auto I have owned. I have driven various other (torque converter) autos in the past and just drove this DSG without thinking about it. I would never let a car creep in gear. I understand creeping on tickover can damage the springs in a Dual Mass flywheel and yes the 1.5 DSG Karoq has a dual mass flywheel. Google it and one answer given is: "Low-RPM load: Modern engines on tickover produce heavy rotational pulses. Forcing the car to move forward at idle speed puts a momentary load on the transmission before the engine management adds fuel, causing the flywheel springs to bottom out against their end-stops". tom

Iv 2016 Superb L&C the back seat will only heat no cooling the controls on the centre console both hot and cold switches are illuminated (is this normal?) even when cold is selected the seat is hot ? Any clues guys Thanks 0

They are worth quite a bit of money, those things. They look and sound tremendous on the rare occasion I've seen one. Well done to the owner for not parking it up in a garage as an investment

Yes, about £43 more expensive, but kit 57A093860B is no use for the full size space saver, which many people want. I paid £140 for the full size space saver kit, 57A093860C, which included fitting by my local Škoda dealer.

I also have this fault, Only leave in P position. However from some of the posts above and from other research it seems that the fault will not cause any issues other than becoming an annoying intermittent fault message. Is this correct? ( I had to turn off the stop /start and the stater motor is playing up, but I don’t think the faults are related). If I do attempt a repair I can only find replacements that require some modification to the housing as an official repair kit for the Fabia mark 3 does not exist.

EVs above £50000 now incur the luxury car extra tax, not £40000.

But that's not in the wheelbase - remember the A4 has a longitudinal engine but the Octavia transverse so overall length is not relevant.

I don't think it should. Similar thread here

You got this or any update after 1800?

Yes , didn't open the door but it shouldn't have locked in the first place should it?

Not sure about the first locking but all subsequent lockings where because you unlocked it but didn't open the door.

looks good mate, exactly same model and colour as my 2 year old one to 🙂 I have been fairly happy and trouble free over my 2 years ownership, the only downside for me is its not much fun to drive and I find the 1.5 lacking in torque and just pickup from low down revs. but I think thats probably as I came from owning 2.0 Diesels for past 20 years and my last one was a remap to with 195bhp and 410nm torque. its a shame the ECU is locked on this one or I would get a remap done.

Hi all , Sitting in the petrol 1.6 Karoq 2023 today doing the crossword when it locked itself, well not quite , the doors locked but the mirrors did not turn in . pressed the unlock button on the key and it then unlocked , a minute later it did it again so pressed the key button and it unlocked. Thinking I had inadvertently pressed the button I put the keys on the dash and waited . Two minutes later it locked itself again. New key battery about a month ago but if it was that wouldn't it fail safe ? ie doors unlocked . The only other thing I noticed when looking around to see if the wife was near and playing with her key I noticed a VW Turog next but one up being loaded with shopping in the boot. Whats the chances of the VW key signals affecting mine? Or any other ideas of a cause?

Just put lubricant where it fold on both sides..

The Karoq 4x4 foam and jack kit 57A093860C is about 42% more expensive than the Karoq FWD foam and jack kit 57A093860B...at least on "skoda parts com". Foam and jack kit (includes everything except for the actual spare wheel...which can be purchased separately) https://www.skoda-parts.com/catalog/karoq/spare-parts/accessories/mandatory-equipment/jack-143.html

OK - we're hopefully collecting it in the next day or so - meaning I've been doing some research... I think I've got a parcel shelf sorted and have spotted some mud flaps etc. but am now on the hunt for wheel arch liners... has anyone used the ones from Autodoc... Diedrichs Wheel Arch Liner's: 2236209 DIEDERICHS Wheel arch liner Left Rear | AUTODOC price and review 2236208 DIEDERICHS Wheel arch liner Right Rear | AUTODOC price and review Any ideas if they will need any additional parts (other than maybe clips)
