Dashcam fitting
Only problem I had was deciding which mode it was switched to. I want '0' that goes off with the ignition. The other '-' remains on until switched or battery usage goes down to 11.5 vdc and the unit switches off.

Westfalia detachable tow bar.
Who fitted your new towbar? did they cut the rear skirt? photos if you have them, please My Kamiq has the wiring pre fitted but after the struggle I had to get a towbar fitted to the Fabia monte I like to know how easy or otherwise your fitting went.

Burning smell during regen.
I have never noticed smoke as my regens mostly occured while travelling, the smell and slight roughness to the engine worried me the first time they happened and I think the engine ran on when parked. It does get hot though!

Average consumption 1
On my Focus my apparently low mpg was put down to my not resetting the milage trip! I left it with the dealer for a couple of minor jobs and when returned the mpg was much better

Windshield Wipers too slow
I have had this useful feature on my other Skoda, as speed increases so does wipe speed and conversley as you slow or stop so does the wiper speed but my middle and top speeds seem to coincide.

Windshield Wipers too slow
Overtaken by a big car (fat and wide Audi) and my windscreen drowned in the bow wave as it went by. I flicked the wipers to max and there was no apparent change from the previous wiper speed. The Yeti and Fabia had suitably fast top speed on the wipers why doesn't the Kamiq? Is it alterable via software?

Under-body sill protection
I noticed this when I bought my Kamiq, the cars in the showroom some had them others did not, never got to the whys and wherefores, my car does have them (I think)

Electrical incident, then a/c stops working
I had stuff dropping out and finally the radio stopped working and the dipped lights went off, I was stuck for nearly an hour in a traffic snarl up, when it started moving I started the engine first go. I went home and put the battery on charge (Ctek) this took a while as it was very low on charge. Finally charged everything worked properly except the radio which was a seperate fault (and was replaced eventually under warranty). *Advice, use your phone to record error messages that helps if you have warranty problems.

Overboost due to Stick Vanes
As the fuel goes into the turbo Then to the cylinders your best bet is to read up on test reports. I have voted for Wyns, accidently as I cut and pasted it for a search.

Replacement Battery
I bought batteries for cars and caravans from a company in Wales, a wide range all carefully explained, and dimensions. Countrywide delivery but I cannot remember the company name! I just remembered TAyna https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tayna+batteries+wales&dcr=0&sxsrf=AOaemvKPfylz3Tww2j4_1c6cYVV14pN0iA%3A1631478761077&ei=6WM-YY6eBLSD8gL00LCAAQ&gs_ssp=eJzj4tZP1zcsSSnIyUhPN2C0UjWoMLEwMzUyS0syskgztDCzTLMyqEgxMDK0MDVPTEtMMjdKSzTwEi1JrMxLVEhKLClJLcpMLVYoT8xJLQYAPg4XRQ&oq=Tayna+batteries+wales&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYADIOCC4QgAQQxwEQrwEQkwI6BwgAEEcQsAM6CggAEEcQsAMQyQM6CAgAEOQCELADOgQIIxAnOgYIABAHEB46BggAEAgQHjoKCAAQCBAHEAoQHkoFCDwSATFKBAhBGAFQrENYn2xg14wBaAFwAHgAgAG1AYgBswWSAQMxLjWYAQCgAQHIAQvAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz

Auto braking
Only one? I was travelling at night and my headlights picked out about eight mallard in a group on the tarmac, I braked hard but they did not have a chance there were five donk, donk, donks and I picked up five dead ones largely unmarked, the others managed to fly clear.
