    What do you do when you:

    1. Have a bottle that’s too big for your cup holder

     

    What I do is use the cup holder for my cup and use the bottle holder in the door for my bottle. Works for me.

     

     

     

     

    Haha!  You may be right.  But I had cups which were too big for the holder too (keep cup)  So this will help too :)

    The factory bumper should just have little indentations on the inside of the number that mark where the sensors should go 

    Possibly but the factory fit ones. 2 go in the bumper and 2 are actually installed in the intake areas. (Which I would imagine would involve a different set of vents to house the sensor. 

  3. Be careful. I saw a “dealer fit” front parking sensor where they drilled 4 holes in the front bumper and put the sensors in there. The sensors were painted but they looked horrible compared to the factory option which hide the sensors as part of the lower grill and probably require a new bumper. I was also considering a used sport line and very surprised that many did not come with front sensors. In the end I held out and got one with them fitted from the factory. 

  4. So love the fact that we get 2 umbrellas with the Kodiaq and that the only other car I know which offers umbrellas in such away has a spirit of ecstasy on it’s bonnet! 

     

    When I say I own a Kodiaq more than one person in the know has commented “is that the one with the umbrellas in the door?” :)

     

    Anyway as great a “selling point” the umbrellas are it’s not so “simply clever” when the quality of them are not great.  I am 3 months into ownership and the one I have been using in the drivers door does not stay open.  As it’s an automatic umbrella it opens on the button press but will “auto close” while in use which obviously is not very good!!

     

    Anyone had any success getting them replaced on warranty?

    the nets defiant aren’t as useful as the Octavia ones (I’m glad I didn’t spend actual money on them as they were included)

     

    i would prefer a “b” net to cover the floor when I need to lash things from rolling around but as it’s the 7 seater with the higher floor none of the hooks are actually accessible. The D net is also a bit of a joke. Why not just have a partition on the side rather than a net which really won’t hold anything?

     

    again as the plastic hooks in the boot only tie against fabric type pulls on the nets they won’t hold very well and keep pinging off. 

     

    Not it really worth the hassle, a pity as I keep coming back to them being so much more useful in the Octavia

    I have 3 nets that came with my Octavia, 2 rectangular of the same size and one smaller, I have no idea where they are supposed to fit, if I can piggy back onto this thread then I have the same question, any pictures please?

    For the Octavia I found the large one fitted across the boot floor to each of the 6 ground level lash points. (I had  the standard boot)

     

    the 2 other ones I just hooked to each side to hold things against the side of the boot. 

  7. So I was given a bag of boot nets for my 7 seat kodiaq.  They are all different sizes and  unlike the ones on my octavia not all have "hooks" for them to connect to the lashing points.  Speaking of lashing points they are also not immediately obvious where each of these should hook to either!

     

    Any pictures of how you have setup your nets?  Ideally I just want one to cover over the floor, one of the nets seems to be well suited to this with a split where I would expect to unhook when using the thrid row of seats but I have no idea where they are supposed to hook to!

    If I’d just paid £150k for a new Ferrari or something, then yes - I’d agree with you.

     

    There are still cars in the same price bracket as the Kodiaq where you only get one remote key, and the spare is just a normal key. So personally I don’t feel too ripped off. Plus, the second key is a spare key for us and has never been used; we just use the one key between us.

    If I had just paid £150k for a Ferrari I would probably be ok with it! No one else would be allowed to drive it so there would be no point for another key! However the Kodiaq is a family cwr and as such I would expect 2 fully functioning keys as it will be regularly used by two people driving.

     

    I wouldn't say the cost of the Kodiaq is cheap and therefore wouldn't expect the keys to be different. If you have had cars where you only get one key let me know as that would definitely be a car I would need to avoid!

     

    Anyway it was really just an observation. In the end my wife is really not bothered but would have liked skoda to go the extra mile by providing matching keys.

    If you ask me, perfect to tell his and hers apart.

     

    Of course, which way round is dependant on whose car it is...

     

    It does help to differentiate but I have never had any problems in the past! (Probably because they are attached to other keys!)

     

    To me it is a very obvious attempt at cutting a cost which is disappointing particularly at hand over of a new car.
