Hi Everyone. I know this is an old thread - but I’m having a problem getting the aerial mast out. It turns only so far, then turns on the thread without coming free. When you say ‘yank’ it, how much of a yank are we taking about. Only want to replace the mast as the rubber has perished, and feel a yank might mess up the aerial base. Thanks.

Been using Fram,Febi/blueprint or Mann which ever is cheapest for years and no probs. I use standard oil not longlife so it gets changed more regularly including filters. Just avoid any cheap ones that you have never heard of. Alasdair

Depends if you can fit two prams or pram and buggy plus luggage. Daughter has volvo v40 which is only slightly shorter than the karoq and just gets the pram in boot. I would have a look at both load space in rear. As previously mentioned have a look at Octavia estate. Its got a big load space and slightly shorter than kodiak. Alasdair

Just used the method above to restore the convenience window on my 2020 after they stopped working.

There were only two TMC providers in the UK. Both have pulled out now. The VAG / Here Maps traffic offering is only available through connected services.

@Tznofl I can vouch for Kieran (East Yorkshire Retrofits) who ran the full update package on my 2020 Octavia 4 as it's performed flawlessly since. Will save you a lot of time, hassle and money versus going to a dealership

Hello, I’m posting on this forum to see if anyone can help me. I have a 2015 Skoda Fabia; I’ve never updated the radio, and recently it’s been giving me a lot of trouble with Android Auto error 8. I was wondering if there might be an update available for my radio. Many thanks in advance. DPN - 5Q0035840A Hardware - H25 Software - 0245 Media Codec: 2101.0.0.10

Probably as you said not put back on securely which would explain the whistle noise. Glad you got it fixed. Alasdair

If you disconnected battery the steering and esc will come on until you turn full left and full right plus a short drive. Looks like you may have to remove bearing and clean or replace. Alasdair

Does anyone know if it's possible to switch mib2 /mib2.5 high to use Here TMC in UK. If I good remember ford sync 3 used Here through TMC and never noticed issues.

So if i'm lucky i can find one online and if not, a creation of a new plug is required ok ok thx for the help

Just an update, I've checked the alternator pulley and other pullies around that area, all seem tight, belt looks tight, OK from what I can see. As they're not easy to inspect, due to their location. Unless you were to go from underneath. So Ill keep an eye on it, if it becomes worse, be easier to diagnose. If I do get to the bottom of it, I'll post on here, again.

There’s an update to take the system from 16xx to 18xx via 17xx (2 updates in one) Then a separate update to take it to 1985 It’s likely your car has a boatload of software updates outstanding which should all be completed at the same time to ensure a compatible baseline. Visit a specialist - we can help

No, Firmware 17Xx-->18xx-->19xx-->Last Firmware Also you have To Check the OCU Firmware

Ah! Just looking on YouTube, and what I thought were plastic flaps, are probably actually bits of the magnetic ring on the bearing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeILfoNK9q0 (That's a Karoq, but I think it looks very similar to our Kodiaq)!

Very helpfull, thank you!

I know it is the hight of summer with heat wave 100...., but I would like to check if anyone has used snow chains on a Kamiq. My daughter's Kamiq SEL runs on 18" alloys. She has got all-season tyres fitted to the 18" wheels and might need to fit snow chains. The Skoda manual recommends snow chains only on the 16" option. I have seen on the www that you could use thinner 9mm chains rather than 12mm for low clearance on 18" wheels. Is there anyone who has done this successfully?

So... ...that went well...🙄 Replaced the ABS sensor this morning, and now I've got FOUR warning lights! ABS, ESC, steering and TPMS... OBDeleven is still saying right hand front ABS sensor. When I took the old one out, I could see a few fine scratches on the tip, and peering down the hole it came out of, I could see quite a lot of flaky rust, so I scraped that off with a small screwdriver, whilst slowly turning the hub. I also noticed what seemed like a number of small, black plastic "flaps" on the vertical face just outboard of it. No idea what that face is?

Daughter had hers for 5 years prior to having grand daughter. Only issues were sticking rear brakes and rust just starting around the fuel filler. Hers was the 75 bhp version which was surprisingly nippy and great on the motorway.

I'm old enough to remember when the most difficult part of keeping a car running was doing the tappets.

Not sure but off the top of my head I'd say that's too big of a jump, I couldn't be sure though. Just be aware that if you try it and it doesn't work out you could brick your system. I've heard of people going from 18xx to 1985, I did so myself, but only based on sound advice. There are a few experty types browse these forums, hopefully one will see your post and be able to advise you better than what I can The other thing to be aware of is that updating your infotainment system won't necessarily get rid of any bugs you may be experiencing, these cars have a lot of modules and each of them need updating from time to time. Could be worth getting in touch with @East_Yorkshire_Retrofits who offers a comprehensive software update package, depending on where you're based

Can I update from 1668 to 1985?

5407-5410.jpg When I first considered this gutter area edged with the boot lid seal it was packed with bone dry clutter from the sky. I wondered where water was supposed to be accommodated. With this in mind I intend to keep it scrupulously clear of debris in the future. The rear light clusters have been removed and inspected and reinstalled. There was no evidence of water damage.

From your description, I'd suggest very likely something wrong with the replacement fuel pump.
