Space saver spare wheel
Not sure about the tools, but as long as you have the wire hook for removing front section to allow towing eye to be inserted, locking wheel bolt key and the plastic tongs for removing the plastic caps from the wheel bolt you should be sorted. As above the cargo elements are handy for stopping things sliding around in the boot.

2018 Edition Vs 2021 SE L - I may be changing 'down' a spec.
Easy enough to see what comes standard and what options can be added here… https://cc.skoda-auto.com/gbr/en-GB/trimline-scenic?activePage=trimlines&color=K4K4&configurationId=&extraEquipments=&id=GBR%3Bskoda%3B2022%3BNS73N5%3B0%3BGYO2YO2%3Bmda20210701125825%3Ben-GB%3B%3B62004%3B62064&interior=AD&modifiedPages=&snapshotVersion=2aaa0845-d1c3-4835-a2e8-3232aeb8f64c&trimline=NS3|SE (5 seats)6206462004&visitedPages=

What is “towbar preparation” and what can I do with it?
There a lots of mixed posts on here but the latest seem to imply that if the car hasn’t got a tow-bar or at least tow bar prep done at build then the permitted towing weight stamped on the plate on the door pillar will be zero, meaning that you could not legally fit an aftermarket tow bar.

Virtual cockpit?
I’ve just ordered a new Kodiaq and opted for the virtual cockpit this time. It’s way more functional than old school analog dials in front of you and is user customable to some extent. If you Google skoda virtual cockpit, there’s loads of info and videos showing what it does and looks like.

Haldex pump update
Just got car back, no more noises. Transpires it was only the pump filter that had swarf apparently, and oil drained was clear. New pump fitted and Haldex refilled and tested by them and deemed a success, time will tell. As long as it lasts till December as my new Kodiaq is due then.

Octavia MKIII windscreen oddity
Very useful it is too.

Haldex pump update
Noise from Haldex/ rear diff when slowly manoeuvring either forward or backwards with full lock on. Started shortly after Haldex oil was changed and pump mesh filter cleaned and steadily got worse.

Boot rails for Kodiaq 7 seater
I believe it’s only the 5 seater that has the rails and hooks. The 7 seater only gets the 2, (one each side) fold out hooks.

Haldex pump update
Even getting the oil changed and pump filter cleaned @ 14,500 miles as in my case is no guarantee you won’t get problems. My Kodiaq has been sitting at the dealer for almost a week with what looks like Haldex failure with metallic swarf found in the drained oil and pump filter.

Is it worth exchanging this Kodiaq for another?
If your not fussed on waiting on a facelift, there will be some new unregistered current models available to dealers.

Is it worth exchanging this Kodiaq for another?
I’m on a PCP and the great price they offered for my car is guaranteed till my new car arrives in December or whenever, so no being without a car.

Is it worth exchanging this Kodiaq for another?
You must have bought yours around the same time as mine as I got the good dealer/ Skoda deposit contribution and Free petrol deal when I bought mine. Prices have gone up on the new facelift and the dealer/ Skoda deposit is now only £2750 till the end of this month. As to delay’s I ordered a new facelift Kodiaq Sportline 2 weeks ago and delivery is not expected till December.

EPC and engine management light
So have you any warning lights on with the engine running. The engine management light will stay on till the engine is started as it can’t tell the engine is ok if the engine is not running!

EPC and engine management light
If there are no fault lights on when you are driving, there is no fault. Every car I’ve had, the warning lights come on when you turn on the ignition and extinguish when the engine is started.

added options/equipment packages
Parking pack basic is still on the configurator, and that basically exactly the same as the salespeople use.

Service changes needed at 80k miles
I seem to think dual mass flywheels come in at £200-£300, so I would say that that price is only for the clutch.

Spec-up a Kodiaq SE?
You’d be better comparing the 5 seat/ 7 seat boot space before choosing a spec you don’t really want. Depending on what options you want to add an SE could easily become more expensive than an SEL, and for the slight increase in boot space starting with 7 seats, even though you don’t need them, might be the better option. I ordered a new facelift Kodiaq Sportline last week and delivery is not expected till December.
