It is a Karoq. (Not mine) He will take it to our Skoda dealer as I think he has the extended warranty which may cover it. Thanks for you help.

I think the wipers work but not the washers, front or back. Are there any other related fuses somewhere?

Hi. A friend of mine has a 2018 1.4 model and the windscreen washers have failed, he has checked the fuse behind the glovebox and that appears to be okay. I was hoping someone here may have a solution, or if this is a dealer repair, or something that can be done by the owner who is very practically minded.

I am on holiday until early October, if your not in a rush. I regret I will be an ex-Octavia driver later this year so am fairly sure I will not need it. I have 217 credits on my Next Gen Pro Pack. I only used to code a rear view camera.

I am thinking of selling my OBD11 purchased in November 2020 that came with 200 credits, I am not sure if I used one of the credits or not when I installed a Rear Camera. Anyway, are the credits attached to the unit and available to a new user, or, are they only available to the original purchaser? Couldn't find anything on the OBD website.

The Kona has about the same amount of scratchy plastic as the Octy, I'd say the quality was not dissimilar, she wanted a smaller hybrid about the same size as her Fabia which has covered just 8k miles since march 18. she liked the way it drove and to be honest I thought the infotainment was much better than the Skoda one, far more intuitive and it had actual buttons for heating and fan etc . She looked at many similar cars and choose the Kona. Better value than most and a far better deal. If she's happy so am I .

Am wondering whether to order a new 1.4IV or not, if it takes 8 months to arrive. My wife was also thinking of going hybrid and selling her 2018 Fabia, she was offered £10k P/X on a Hyundai Kona Hybrid, the dealer asked what colour and model she wanted: 30 seconds later she was advised that the car was already built and is confirmed for delivery in the UK in November. Hyundai do not offer pages of options, you buy the one with the options installed. Come November we will see if it does arrive as promised.

I have been thinking of changing my 2015 Mk3 1.4 DSG Estate and after much thought I am nearly decided on the new 1.4 TSI iv PHEV Estate. There are a few questions I am sure a current owner could answer. I have on my mk3 MIB1 satnav, and music from a USB drive, and hands-free phone via Bluetooth. Radio I use very rarely. The configurator states ‘Skoda Connect Remote access 1 year and infotainment online 1 year'. 1 .I have a Samsung Android running #11 software. The config’ also states under radio, telephone and navigation : Bluetooth and Wireless smartlink for apple carplay only (Wired for Android Auto and mirror link) I assume by this I need to plug a cable into the phone and the car in order for the car to see the phone. And: 2. Does this mean that hands-free Bluetooth will no longer work after the 1 year, likewise no satnav after 1 year? 3. To use the online function in my Samsung when out and about I have to use ‘Mobile Data’ and on my BT deal I get 4gb of data but I have no idea of what that means in real life usage, I see many people using mobiles for Google Maps and satnav, but for how long is that possible on a 4gb deal? A 2hr, 10hr journey or what? 4. The Config’ also states a ‘Columbus satellite navigation & 10” touchscreen’ so that seems to say navigation is by satellite and so not by mobile data and not with a 4gb restriction. Clarification would be helpful! 5. Also under Radio, telephone and navigation it lists 2 x USB C ports for charging and data transfer, it that one port for charging and one for data or can both ports be used for charging or data transfer? If I have my music USB connected to one port can I connect my Android to the other port and use Google mapping? 6. I have noted there seems to be various pricing for this Connect service, from £36 to £80 a year for, err, what? The config’ is very vague and uninformative. Services may differ according to Country, car , model, year, technology, weather, mood of the car, and similar ‘get out of jail’ cards. Okay, maybe not all of those but it feels like it. Seems most services these days are now only available on subscription, just more ways of screwing more £ notes out of the user. Thank you in advance.

Could not have put it better myself, totally agree. Was thinking of changing last year just as Covid caused a lockdown. Been trawling YouTube reviews ever since, Lots of cars, quite fancy a Tesla Estate but they don't make one! Or an A4 Avant or 3/5 Series or similar but the Octy 3 Elegance Estate with ACC, RVC and Park Assist is a hard car to beat, Economical, £30 road tax, etc, if I could swop the beam for IRS and add some more sound deadening to cancel out the tyre noise it would be nearly perfect.

Skoda can only supply an EFB and an economy version at that. Halfords changed the serial number and then cleared a large number of light faults on the dash. Once they were cleared no problems. Oh, Skoda EFB has a 2 year warranty and Halfords has a 5 year warranty. No brainer in my view,

Just had a new AGM 096 fitted instead the EFB one supplied by Skoda, fitted by Halfords at £184 fitted at dealer or £159 On its own, you fit, Skoda do NOT supply an AGM although they said they could, but they had fitted an EFB instead so I had this removed by Halfords and took it back to Skoda who then said they did not do a AGM so had fitted the standard Economy EFB. I asked if it would impact on the warranty or not. They said it would not as it was the same as changing tyres from that factory fitted. So if your dealer cannot supply an AGM cancel the order and go to Halfords! By the way Skoda dealer said the EFB Economy battery from Skoda should have been £215 fitted but they priced matched Halfords, so they price matched higher quality? battery with a lower? class of battery. Or you would pay the same but not get what you asked for. Hope that makes sense

Had mine tinted from B pillar back and the rear window, didn't cost anything extra. Also advised them I had the DTUK Pedal Box installed, this was on a chat box on their website, after a little delay they came back and said it was classified as an 'interior modification' and again no extra charge. I thought this was a bit odd so I printed out the chat in case at some future date the insurer tried to dismiss a claim because of it, I had written proof they were advised and it was accepted along with the tinted windows. Your choice entirely but I would certainly do some insurance comparisons, I shaved over £500 off our house cover in one go and certainly a lot more than that on our car insurances over the years. They are not loyal to you so why be loyal to them, your cost most likely goes up a bit every year, over 15 years that could be lot. I pay under £300 a year for my octy comprehensive cover from a 5* defacto insurer with high repute. We are pensioners, wife and I to drive, cars not garaged, no points, and no claims for so long I forget. Worth a few minutes time and could save you £££'s (Martin Lewis and MSE are my gods!) Was a company buyer and my wife reckons haggling is in my DNA.....

Found this one as well. gives you the idea.

Mine is an estate as well. The biggest problem I had was getting the leads from the tailgate into the roof itself. the attached photos may help. The camera came with an jack plug, I found that a drain unblocker cable - a long spring wound rat tail - had an internal measurement that fitted perfectly over the prong on the camera connector. I then insulation taped them together so I could thread it through the rubber joint of tail gate and side of upper body. You cannot get the lead through very far into the roof space but I found if you pull it across the roof lining a little you can then thread it forward along between the roof and lining which is attached to the roof by what looks like double sided tape. You can then access this cable by gently pulling the roof lining down by the rear then front doors.

This may give you some ideas: Do you have the estate or hatchback?
