Anyone else ordered a new Kodiaq?
Apparently latest cars that don’t have factory fit tow bar, or tow bar prep may not be able have tow bar retrofitted.

TPMS Direct or Indirect
Your tyre valves and your tyre monitoring display will look like this if you have the direct tyre monitoring system.

"Coasting" in other modes than ECO?
My 22 Kodiaq is exactly the same the eco symbol at top appears when in 2 cylinder mode, and the D with no gear number and revs at idle when you lift off the accelerator ( Coasting) This occurs in normal D mode as opposed to my previous 2018 Kodiaq that only coasted in Eco mode.

Safe caliper to inner rim clearance ?
If you have 340mm front discs, 17” wheels fitted my previous Kodiaq, so 18” wheels shouldn’t have any problems.

Deposit placed 👍
Haldex should have oil changed and pump filter cleaned at 3rd service. Skoda dealers will only change the Haldex oil but for the job to be done correctly the pump filter needs cleaned. Picture shows pump filter at around 20k and why it should be cleaned.

Clarity on what the infotainment updates do?
Brightness turned down to minimum on doors and footwells. Have seen comment elsewhere that ambient light colour was changed after update.

Should I buy a Yeti With Issues .....
Thing is, the 1.8 tsi engine is a lemon and plagued with faults and simply won’t keep ticking till you get bored with the car. This is well worth a read…

A 2010 1.8 tsi with 100k is likely to have plenty issues never mind the one quoted.

Front assist (collision avoidance) braked out of the blue. What could have caused it?
The radar for emergency braking ( front assist) is situated in the centre of the front grill. The manoeuvre braking provides low speed braking using the parking sensors.

Data only sim recommendation
7 day shop always had deals on 12 month pre loaded data sims for the 3 network when I used them in my previous Kodiaq.

Heated wing mirrors
If your mirror adjustment switch has a heated mirror picture past the R position, turn the switch round to there and mirrors will heat.

Kodiak kick under bumper tailgate operation

Kodiaq front bumper
If the headlight washers are used in freezing conditions and the screenwash is not strong enough for the conditions, the headlight washer can freeze in the extended position, which what you’ve witnessed.

Heated screen performance?

Heated screen performance?
My previous and current Kodiaq clear the screen as good as or better than my previous Yeti with the visible wires in the screen. I usually start car turn on front, back heated screen, and mirrors and by the time I’ve scraped the side windows rest are clear or clear enough to use wipers so would say about 3-4 mins at most.

Rear wiper blade 2022 VRS?
No, the original fit skoda blade on the drivers side on pre facelift and current Kodiaq is a 25” blade. Bosch only recommends and supplies a 24” blade, which as said does fit and does not leave any obvious un-wiped area, but is in reality the wrong size.
-
Rear wiper blade 2022 VRS?
And even they are not quite correct. The original Skoda fit drivers side blade is 25” whereas Bosch only list a 24” blade as replacement. Having fitted the Bosch blade on my previous Kodiaq it does fit fine and doesn’t leave any obvious un wiped area of screen.

Rear wiper blade 2022 VRS?
I had a Bosch A 282H 11” 280 mm rear blade I’d bought for my previous Yeti lying around so thought I’d try it. The blade is the correct size but the cut out in the Kodiaq rear wiper arm to locate the blade locking button is now oblong , and a different design,and the button on the Bosch blade is square. So it looks like Skoda have the monopoly on rear blades at the moment.
