Hi, My Karoq is just 3 years old 1.5TSI DSG, and I have to decide wether or not to take up the extended warranty and was wondering, has anyone on here had a succesful claim on the extended warranty and also has anyone had a claim refused and if so what was it.

I had my Octavia 1.4 tsi cambelt changed at 5 years and 38k miles and asked for the old belt and tensioners back. On inspection they looked brand new. I still have them . I am on hols at moment but will post photos when i get back.

Hi Edwards Thanks for reply. I already tow a 2 birth at 1234kg mtplm but the wifes talking about an upgrade to a fixed bed. And I am not sure wether my Karoq is up to the job hence the question

Well with a 107 views and no replies I'd say nobody does!

Does anyone on here tow a fixed bed caravan with a 1.5 petrol dsg 2 wheel drive? If so how dies it cope? Regards Bob

99Ron E5 every time!

What's the hitch view?

Has anyone fitted 225x45/19 instead of 225x40/19 for a softer ride for their Karoq?

Hi, may I ask what driving mode you are usually in?

Hi, towers of caravans, what do the caravan towers on this forum do to cover the breakdown of the car and caravan, I see from the Skoda roadside assistance that Skoda only tow the caravan to "the nearest place of safety" thats not going to cut it if the car is laid upo for any length of time, does this render the Skoda assistance useless when towing a caravan or large trailer for that matter? regards Bob.

Hi JR, do you tow with your Yeti? Is it FrontWD, if so how does it cope on wet grass, I am looking at a 1.4tsi DSG Karoq, and are worried about being stuck in the mud. I wondering do I need a 4x4 towing 1400KG

I have seen a Karoq 1.5tsi DSG with electric towbar amongst other tasty accesories and want to tow a 1300kg caravan, Is anyone on here towing a similar rig and could comment on its suitability. I would have liked the 4x4 version, and wondering do I really need it. The spec of the car I have seen is perfect for me apart from the 4x4. Comments would be appreciated. I currently own (last 6 years) Octavia 1.4tst DSG hatch.

Did you see the old belt, what condition was it in?

I tend to have the same opinion as you have a lot of research on the internet, I get the feeling Skoda UK are just ensuring lots of work for their dealers, praying on peoples fears. However I plan on keeping my car a 1.4 Tsi DSG petrol for a couple of more years till the electric car market has settled down and buy electric, and I can see that selling the car wont go well without proof of a cambelt change, so I am thinking I may as well change it now even though the cambelt will probably be ok. I will ask for it back and post pictures of belt and tensioners.
