I believe the air con goes into recirculate mode when reverse is selected to avoid exhaust fumes being drawn into cabin. Does selecting recirculating mode produce same noise, if so could just be sticking air distribution flap.

Not much good after the event, but if you had phoned Skoda Assist they would have fixed it , replaced the battery, or taken the car to dealer and provided a loan car. Do you have a dash cam or anything plugged into the 12V power sockets, as these are permanently live and well documented for draining battery if something inadvertently left plugged in.

Please do report back if it is the correct fitting, always nice to have another option than paying 3 times the price to a dealer for a blade.

The ECO score is utter nonsense, my previous 2.0 tsi Kodiaq would give me 100% despite only achieving 24mpg.

I like it with just the Karoq lettering removed, looks a bit too empty with the Skoda removed as well.

Also would assume that 24.2 as in 2nd month February 24 is the latest version.

The sat nav software can only be updated with new roads if the local council/ ordinance survey etc make the information available to the sat nav mapping companies.

Think they are around £40 from dealer but the £7 VW version on eBay certainly worked on my previous Kodiaq.

If you take your foot off accelerator going downhill the dsg gearbox goes into coasting mode ( D shown on display with no gear number) and unlikely that 2 cyl mode will occur at same time. 2 cyl mode occurs on light throttle/ light load on reasonable flat terrain and going down slight slopes if foot still on accelerator. You can also hear a slight change in engine noise when 2 cyl mode kicks in.

Your fuel flap will have a sticker that most probably says 95 Ron minimum. Using fuel of a higher Ron will most likely give benefits to performance and consumption.
