Rear wiper blade 2022 VRS?
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.

Dreadful start to ownership
The ECO score is utter nonsense, my previous 2.0 tsi Kodiaq would give me 100% despite only achieving 24mpg.
-
debadge?
I like it with just the Karoq lettering removed, looks a bit too empty with the Skoda removed as well.

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

MIB version and map updates
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.

Skoda Connect Lite app - DataPlug
Think they are around £40 from dealer but the £7 VW version on eBay certainly worked on my previous Kodiaq.

ACT 2 cylinder mode
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.

VRS TSi 2.0 Which Fuel?
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.

Changing battery in key makes it not working
The bitter taste patch on Duracell to stop babies/ toddlers swallowing them should not be removed and work fine in both of my Kodiaq fobs.

Bi-Xenon Headlamp Degradation
Over time xenon lamps degrade and start to give off a yellowish or pinkish hue. Pot holes and vibrations can take their toll on life span as can using the coming/ leaving home function.

Help Ending a Call via Steering wheel
Pressing the RH steering wheel roller ends calls on my Kodiaq.

Wing Mirror Cap Grey Metallic - Can't find anywhere!
Door mirrors, apart from the upgrade to black sport mirrors , are usually supplied in primer. If you’re looking for a direct easy fix then looking on eBay or Google car breakers.

New Karoq owner- working way through manual! - queries
As per my reply above you can have the speed sign displayed on the map screen. It is done purely by sat nav position and not by the optional traffic sign camera and works well.

Trip reset (polite request by car!!)
As my post above, change the dash centre display to something else other than trip mileage/ reset as you have now and you won’t get the press to reset message.
-
Trip reset (polite request by car!!)
Change the middle display to something else if it bothers you. No need for trip miles to be there as the trip miles shows where the seatbelt warning symbols are once the car is moving anyway.

New Karoq owner- working way through manual! - queries
To show the speed limit on the sat nav it is just a mater of pressing the three dots bottom right and settings and ticking box for show traffic signs. If you have LED matrix headlights then it is just a mater of pushing the high beam stalk forward and a white a appears on the dash. Then when you drive on an unlit road the lights go to full beam ( white a turns blue) and will adjust the beam for cars in front or coming towards you no intervention by you required, just let them do their thing.

Tyre sensor faulty?
Assuming all 4 tyre pressures are correct and you are pressing the reset button till it bleeps, then as above probably an abs sensor is faulty. Best having car scanned to confirm fault.
-
Trip reset (polite request by car!!)
Looks like you have inadvertently turned the RH scroll button and selected trip mileage which then gives you the option to reset by pressing and holding , the RH scroll button in my case ( Kodiaq).

Matrix Head Light Washer - Sticking out
They stick out in freezing conditions if the washer fluid is not the correct concentration for winter. Should go back in when defrosted.

Rear wiper blade 2022 VRS?
New blade from EBay delivered today and have fitted will update on performance etc. New blade on left original on right.. And on looking at receipt, blade supplied by Heyner UK

Windscreen wipers.
RHD Kodiaq’s here in the UK have a 25” blade on the drivers side and 21” blade on the passenger side from the factory. Bosch recommends AP24U and AP21U and that’s what I’ve fitted to my previous and current Kodiaq.

Rear wiper blade 2022 VRS?
Still no sign of a Bosch replacement blade for facelift models, and the replacement from dealer is both expensive and rubbish so having spied this one on eBay I have ordered one to see what it’s like. Put it this way it will be hard to be worse than the Skoda effort.
