Karoq no cd player
There is little difference in quality between CD and usb memory stick with the bonus that you can delete the cd tracks you don't like. Keep up with the technology, I'm using memory sticks, everyone else is Streaming from You tube and Spotify!

Auto Handbrake/ Hill Assit
My car is an automatic and I have to hold the brake when I stop or when I initially start the engine. Have you checked that the tyre pressures are as they should be and reset the pressures set. Tyre sizes as before? brake pad sensor leads undamaged. Well thats all the simple stuff.

Free wheel alignment checks
I had two new front tyres fitted and they were tracked free, I drove home and within minutes realised there was something wrong. I pulled over and phoned the KF and said I was coming back, they "checked" the tracking and declared it ok. I was not happy and took it to another tyre company and explained the problem they lifted the car and called me over the tracking adjustment was adjusted all on one side. They put it right, no charge and phoned KW and told them what had happened I heard on the phone "oh no! not again" so what that was all about I never found out, I would guess that an employee was not up to the job.

Windscreen swap issue
Get them back but make sure they cannot point to another cause and worm their way out of responsibility.

Windscreen swap issue
Perhaps the screenfitters didn't connect the washer pipe correctly? I know my windscreen wiper trough is full of dead leaves and one roof rail has pigeon poo in a neat line below it.

Mudflaps ?
I always fit them, back and front, the car stays cleaner and I don't put up such a wall of spray for other drivers. To be honest they should be fitted as standard.

Thule 9106 bike rack
what is ok for vehicle traffic may annoy someone on a bicycle who has gone to the trouble of fixing a Go Pro to their helmet in case they decide to take offence, so they will have the evidence.

Thule 9106 bike rack
There were no caravans so don't be silly. The cyclist complained that the load on my roof rack was too wide.

Thule 9106 bike rack
I was stopped for having a load 2" wider than the car, I was in a traffic snarl up and a cyclist had called an officer over and pointed it out. It was an informal chat as I was almost home.

Electric itch...
It is the battery in the floor that bothers me, all that amperage!

Electric itch...
I am still wondering what happens in a crash with an electric cars, the purchase price is high you need a specialist for anything other than minor damage.

How much time do you warm-up your Felicia?
I always used a radiator grill muff to get the engine up to temperature. If you start the engine (always remain with the car) and idle for about 20 seconds to make sure the oil is circulating then move off you should be fine.

Yeti to Kamiq?
I had two Yeti and loved them but we no longer tow caravans. I was persuaded to get a smaller engined car and went for a Fabia Monte Carlo Combi 110ps petrol. We used a tent and it took everything we needed and was a superb drive. The Kamiq Monte Carlo was next and I love this Skoda as well it was someone elses build choice so it does not have all the kit stupid little omissions like usb sockets but it does have a glass roof! Downside 18"wheels, Golf sized boot, no reversing camera, no front park assist. But I do get better than 40mpg (19-22mpg around town ) As someone said it has waft mode as smooth as smooth a gentle pressure on the accelerator and the tigers tail is twisted ..... !

Diesel Yeti starting issue
I often watch Rainman Ray on you tube and one thing he is hot on is checking the battery terminals for tightness and cleanliness. He has demonstrated in several videos that battery terminal condition can make a huge difference.

Can the MP3 be changed, perhaps to FLAC or evened out for volume?

Coolant top up
I was reading a thread on coolant problems and there were recommendations to use only VW 13 anti freeze and distilled water. Ok so looking online for 1litre of VW group antifreeze there are VW evo12 with a date of 17 02 20 The date on the bottle is this a use by date or a production date
