Boot Liner
Have a look here I bought this for my 7 seat - when I planned to remove the seats - to make boot bigger for the dogs http://www.boot-buddy.com/skoda/kodiaq-2017-present-5-seat-model-with-space-saver-spare-wheel-without-variable-boot-floor In the end - I decided to keep the Dog car - instead of subject the new one to the dogs.... so its still in the box - along with boot floor and dog guard - for when I change my mind at some point in future again But this is the best I could find. They do multiple options

I agree on roof and ACC comments Have you checked drive the deal? Also if its a lease - Autocar?

Kodiaq RHD to LHD
Doesn't the edition have LED lights - so automatically swap - for the light part - with just some clicks in the infotainment? As for moving steering wheel / pedals / dash... as others have said do not bother.... because when you get into it... little things like wiring looms, door cards etc also have to be changed and these cost big money...

Electrical Faults on 19 plate
It depends where you tap the supply You need to take it from an ignition switched power - not a permanent power I fitted dashcam to Karoq - it drained in 2 weeks parked at airport - caused all sorts of alarms and issues after eventually got it started I swapped feed - no issues since

Should I buy one ?
What exactly did you buy - photos and spec?
-
tyres - 2 or 4 new ones at once ?
I would rotate them around - and wear them out evenly and change all 4 - that way you have the same tyres and compound on all 4 corners.. But thats me..

Kodiaq Sportline 190tdi DSG-mpg??
I agree with Mr Trilby Mine is the 150 BHP - 4000 miles. Short 2 or 3 mile journeys high 20's to low 30's Long 130 miles on motorway at 70 to 75 set on cruise - 45 to 48 Average around 40. Would expect 190 bhp to be almost same - maybe a little lower. This is about 3 to 5 MPG less than the Yeti when it had 20K miles I normally drive quite sedately these days in the car.

You would need to give the garage ample time to resolve he issue before you can reject the car. But you also normally need the finance company to support you. You can always get one the Ombusman involved. But maybe try another dealer... Has the car any modifications - tow bar / cameras... anything lime that? Have you tried measuring the drain current at the battery with everything turned off? to see how big / if there is a load draining?

Rear Brakes after 19000 miles - crazy price
Hi Pretty straight forward job - probably less than an hour on ramps. Would be suprised if they need to be done at that mileage... but as been said there was some issues previously Would suggest you ask about warranty IF they need to be done... Cost of parts from Skoda Ireland So seems they are charging you £180 to fit...

Aftersale- front sensors/electric boot
Yes - both are possible Sensors by Dealer or you can buy a kit and do it all yourself NOT CHEAP Look at Kufatec on web...
-
New order, wondered about extras
Some things can be done by a plug in dongle - look at Kufatec web site
-
Failure to start
To me looks like either 1. You are turning it on and off before its fully Cycled On 2. The switch is faulty and turning off for you...

Discounts on new factory orders?
Take PCP to get that deal and settle within 10 or 14 days - actually tell them you will settle - you still have a further 30 days I thing after that to pay.. Also push the dealer for discount - you can probably get between 5 to 10% off - in addition to the PCP deposit allowance.
-
New order, wondered about extras
Have you checked the higher models - you get more for your money - in that the extras cost less I went for the L&K with Extras - I like toys Heated Screen Driver Assist - including ACC Virtual Cockpit You may get some good deals on stock cars - Sportline or Edition - which have higher spec... but probably will be in Diesel not Petrol.. Just a thought.. I have the back seat trays - OK Wish I had had the child pack / rear pack with blinds and door protectors - so look at that before you decide if ordering anew build. The rear seat heating - depends on your kids ages - if they are in booster or child seats - no point having them.. Mine has Full cameras and Leather and Sunroof - would not have ordered sunroof but was part model. Virtual Cockpit and ACC to me are great..

Which one ?
DSG / Manual? 4 x 4 or 2 x 4?

Which one ?

Can I raise the boot floor?
You can buy the boot floor kit from the dealer - for 5 seat conversion to add the space saver - from memory that was like £100 Its the foam, some tools, floor I bought the kit and also a boot liner kit - but never fitted either..... also the dog guard... all sat in the garage at home.. I have St Bernards - Bought the 7 seater and was going to lower it for the dogs to the 5 seater with space saver... but never did.. Decided to keep the Suzuki GV - the Ronnie Mobile... for the 2 of them... Search ebay - you could used to find them there too..

Fuse ratings
I believe that the accessory sockets are monitored and automatically switch off if the battery voltage drops too low. I incorrectly left a dash cam connected (taken off the wrong feed) and it drained the battery over 3 weeks at an airport on the wifes Karoq - dealer told me if it had been off the accessory feed it would have switched off. Not sure if that helps or not... but would suggest you check that fact with your dealer before relying on it..
-
Fuse ratings
There is no guarantee that the missing fuse locations have power... I believe there have been a few versions of the fuse box layout... so check your manual.. rather than the online site for your specific car. Also you would need to detach the wire from behind your fuse box and connect to the other switched live position... All doable... but why?

Should I buy one ?
The DSG is a manual gear box - with 2 clutches that shift automatically - not an old Torq converter style.. If you really want you can drive them manually on the stick or with paddles.. Try one before you dismiss it.... As for going wrong.... they are probably as reliable as any other system on the car... As for repair costs... take out the extended WTY.... if you are worried.
-
Should I buy one ?
Do you really need a manual? DSG is a great choice... Once you had DSG you'll never go back....

Annoying beep every 30 seconds
Is your phone connected to the apple car play or android auto - via USB? Sounds like a phone sound... not got that sound in my Car Either Or did you get a dashcam or dealer fit options?
