Answered my own question I assume the green thing is the radar gizmo

where is the radar housing I have looked around the front from underneath and cant see anything. I get front assists impaired warning if I park near to long wet grass, it usually "resets itself" after about a mile driving home.

False warnings are not the same as "sensor impaired" which indicates its not working at all , altering the distance at which it alarms will not stop the "impaired" error , you just wont get as many warnings. Looking at other forums for VW's etc its a pretty common problem , which I guess I will have to put up with

Its not the fact that the front assist alarm is too sensitive , its the fact that the system turns off with the error "front assist system impaired" which means my ACC stops working . I could be ok with it not working in extreme weather conditions but spray on the motorway is pretty common in uk.

Well had fun and games going to Birmingham yesterday in drizzle and rain , cruising at 70 on ACC car flashes red "BRAKE" warning and error of impaired front assist appears , OK couple of miles later it goes , in a 100mile trip it alarmed 11 times. I realise in the manual there are references to extreme conditions of snow and ice impairing the system but a bit of spray on the M6? I also get the system impaired error every time i go up with the dog to Beacon Fell which is a small forestry location , and park my car ( on tarmac) in parking area which is edged with 2ft high grass, the car does not touch the grass at all. After an hour or so I leave I immediately get the alarm which stays until i am half way home. I have had the system checked by SKODA and told there are no problems. Looking on other VW forums it appears this system is very prone to these errors. Any advise on whether it is worth pursuing a "repair"

What makes it reboot? Recalling my early computer experience random reboots were usually cured by remaking connectors and replugging cards into motherboards.

I had an alarming message appear when I started the car yesterday , first after the car started I noticed the screen was totally blank and an error message something like "emergency workshop now" , cant really remember exactly as after driving about 400 yds the system booted up as normal and the error went. It has never done it before has anyone else had a similar experience. I am a bit concerened as I am going on a long trip today.

Thanks for the answer , you say your front shocks make a noise whereas your loaner didn’t , what sort of noise ?

My 2018 Kodiaq Edition has developed an annoying squeak which has gradually got worse , I have attached an audio file from my phone placed on the ground in the garage whilst I rocked from side to side by standing on the rear door entry and gripping the roof bars and bouncing up and down ( I know!!) this was the only way I could get enough movement of the suspension without driving the car continually over a speed bump at slow speed , which is when I first noticed the squeak. I have DCC on the vehicle and the squeak is less when you select sport mode , mainly I think due to the suspension movement being more restricted. The audio file is with the DCC on comfort mode. I have yet to take the car back to the dealer as I wanted to get some evidence ( audio file) and ensure the squeak was getting worse. Anyone else out there experienced this?

On my previous VW Passat the sat nav gave a full listing of any route you had programmed. I cannot seem to get anything on the Columbus sat nav other than the first few directions. Is there anyway I can get the full list to scan through as per my VW?

Many thanks for this ,I have actually got a kit now . However the existing carpet does not fit , I presume on the factory supplied kit on purchase (kicking myself) has the wheel visible under third third row of seats , my existing carpet goes over the top of the wheel and sticks up a bit, I can still lock the seats down but its a bit tight, It looks like I will have to cut a hole of some sort in the carpet.

OK I have just checked and found the little gas struts on folding seats , Obviously I should have got it as an option but didn't !! There does not seem much room when I remove the useless pressurisation kit I got . does it stick up above the indent for the wheel much , but I guess the space under the third row is pretty useless anyway.

I have a seven seat Kodiaq can I get a space saver wheel for it , there does not seem much room , I don't have the Canto sound system

OK if I understand you right, all I needed to do was open and close the drivers door when I stopped and turned off the ignition ? What if I then relock the car for security if I want a snooze?

I was waiting for some time at a railway station to pick up my daughter , the ignition was off but I had the apple play on for phone and music. The car was locked , after a while any movement would trigger the alarm , I obviously had the Kessy key and could reset it , but it would then relock and repeat the alarm when I moved. I could not get the car to stay unlocked without opening the door. I tried disabling the safelock as per manual but it didn't seem to work. I am sure there is something simple that I need to do . But I cant understand how the car can autolock with the key in it (and me)?
