  1. My Kodiaq can close from the button on the remote but you have to keep pressing the middle button on the remote and have to be within 2 metres.
  2. 215x55x17 would be the correct tyre size for 17” wheels on your Karoq.
  3. Surely the G12 on the coolant reservoir is correct, no matter what parts suppliers websites tell you. G40 is apparently similar to G12 ( different manufacturers) but as it is advised not to mix coolant I would stick with the recommended G12.
  4. There will be a statement similar to this in your owners manual. The problem seems to be that LED lamps do not generate the same amount of heat that halogen or Xenon lamps produced that helped drive out the moisture inside the lamp unit.
  5. Apparently there still is a 5 seater available that can tow 2300/2500kg But is only available in SE trim and has the 2.0 150 engine with DSG and is 4x4. Also not much help to you, but the new 2.0 tdi 200HP engine seems to filtering its way into the lineup, but none with the towing capacity you required.
  6. Enjoy your test drive, you won’t be disappointed.

    The previous Yeti had the wires in the screen, the Kodiaq has the metallic film type.
  8. You’ve left it a bit late, if you thinking of another. You should have been asking your dealer what equity you’d have as a deposit on a new car as it could take more than 3 months to arrive. Wouldn't think paying the bubble payment then selling later would be of any benefit. I’ve got another year to go on mine, but at the moment I’m thinking of paying the balloon payment and keeping it.
  9. Poor supposition again, the 7 seater IS available with a towbar. The only model you can’t fit a towbar to,as Skoda messed up the homologation, is the2.0 150 Diesel 7 seater with manual gearbox. Yet to see any evidence of the 7 seat Kodiaq having a bad reputation for having such hard springs giving a poor ride. Perhaps you’ll suggest fitting 15” steel wheels as a remedy as you seem to do in every other of your posts
  10. Well, I actually have a 7 seater and would class the above post as utter rubbish.

    The heated screen in my previous Yeti and current Kodiaq clear/ melt snow/ ice in about 1 min. Far less time than it would scraping by hand.
  12. This cropped up in the Kodiaq section a while back, and while some plausible answers were given it was was never really solved.
  13. Should clear after driving a few yards/ metres.
  14. I think all current Skoda's have electric power steering system and therefore don’t have any fluid that requires changing.
  15. I have the Columbus in my Kodiaq which has gesture control, so if you wave your hand in front of the screen it will scroll through the radio stations. Perhaps yours is the same and is picking up your hand moving in front of the screen.
  16. Last nights Santa’s little helper run in normal mode as always.
  17. They should also provide you with a replacement vehicle till yours is fixed.
  18. Obviously not the latest model that the OP has that has no SD card slots.
  19. “The services can be used for one or three years, with renewal options available”. I have the updated app and I currently have all the functionality that I had for the first free year. The second year I made the mistake of paying £100 for the privilege and I also had to provide and pay for a data sim. If it transpires that they are going to make you pay a subscription for this I certainly won’t be paying for this rubbish. The “new” Myskoda app also doesn’t have my service history that my old app had.
  20. The 2.0 tdi 150 4x4 7 seater with manual gearbox is not homologated for towing and cannot have a towbar fitted.
  21. I’ve never had any problems of windows misting with ac on and auto selected on my current Kodiaq, previous 2 Yetis and Octavia. As to the DSG once you master feathering the brake pedal, you have as much control over the stop/start as you have in a manual. ie if you stomp on the brake the car will stop and engine stop. Its also worth noting if you twitch the steering wheel when the traffic in front moves or you see a space the engine will re start.
