It's hard to understand why Skoda engineers have changed the design from March 2023, considering the Mk3 was already about to end its career. Mk4 had been already well known at this time... Not a good idea for costs killing or customers either. 🙄

Hi, I also have a Bosch A403H on the rear wiper of my Mk3 Estate (MY2018, built in octobre 2017). It only judders when it's close to replacement time. I change it every 30000km (~20000 miles). Otherwise, it remains quite silent. A tip could be to apply graphite powder on the blade. It's a dry lubricant which could help it slide silently. 😉 I've never done it, but maybe worth a try, since it's easy to clean if not efficient.

I wonder how it could have been a different result, considering how your Mk3 is looked at. 😁 😉

@brettikivi Thanks for your feedback. Good tip that spritmonitor.de. Though I use this App for my current Superb Estate Mk3 (TDI190 4x4 DSG6), I didn't think about it. 🙄😄 My average is 7.16l/100km (~39.5 mpg) over 123000km with my Mk3. I've just had a look for RS TDI240, its average is between 7.7 to 8.6l/100km (36.7 to 32.8 mpg). I think it should mean around 8.1 (34.4) for me... Just a bit curious, I've looked at TSI245, it would be more about 9,5l/100km (29,7 mpg) I've made some search, it seems TDI RS was not sold in France after 2020. 😑 I'm hesitating to downgrade my spec to a TDI200 to still have a car which is less than 2 y.o. 🤔 Decision, decision...

As we say in France: "There is no one so deaf as someone who will not hear". 🙄

Maybe it had been a bit overfilled on the previous oil change... 🤷‍♂️

According to Skoda Maintenance manual for workshops, it's 4.7L indeed (incl. oil filter replacement)

Yes it does. Just a question: How old is your battery? An old battery can mess this. I've seen it on the Mk3 of a friend. She couldn't adjust her passenger mirror, it was moving in opposite directions compared to joystick demand and could not dip upon reverse either.

Does a rubber tunnel cover also exist for Kodiaq, as for Superb Mk3 ? I have one in my Superb, it's great, especially with 3 kids.

Thanks for this information, I didn't know that TDI240 was not manufactured these last 3 years (at least). On the french market, it may be different. Not sure that Skoda has sold more TSI RS than TDI RS... 🤔 But you nevertheless may be right. Gasoline cars had better sales score than diesel ones these last years...

I think this is the kind of argument that could tip the balance in favour of TDI. The hardest thing is to find one on the french second hand market. It's quite rare...

I think there're 2 possibility: - Latch (to keep it in stow position) gets stuck. - Rotation axle of the hook itself... May be you can try to use some anti-humidity spray, because based on your sayings, I think there some water drops caused by humidity, which freeze and make your hook stuck. I don't think it's gripped, otherwise it wouldn't move as expected once it gets a bit warmer.

Thanks @linni. I've just finished to overview the titles thru the 85 pages of this Kodiaq forum and was about to ask you, since I had noticed you do drive a diesel one. Maybe @ZacDaMan72 could give his opinion too (if still there since he ended his Kodiaq RS ownerswhip) ?

"Only" 55l ? I would have bet it was closer or similar to my Superb (70l). Anyway, not bad.

Thanks for this first reply. This seems a quite acceptable range, though I don't know the fuel tank capacity 🤭... Fortunately, though I live close to Paris, I never drive there and most of my commute trips are traffic jam free ('average' speed is at speed limit, 80-90% of the time) . Any owner who'd like to share his/her consumption? Maybe a TDI240 owner ?

I wouldn't mix All-season with summer tyres too. it's a bad idea. Here's a demo: Having a 4x4 shouldn't make a big difference on the conclusion, I guess...

Hi all, Currently owning a Superb Mk3 Estate (MY 2017 TDI190 DSG6 4x4 in L&K trim), I'm tempted to replace it by a Kodiaq RS MY2021 or younger. Could some RS owners tell me what kind of fuel consumption that have? I'm not fixed yet whether a TSI245 or a TDI240. Thus information on both engines are welcomed. Of course, I know fuel consumption highly depends on driving style and trips kind. It's just to have a rough order of magnitude. My driving style is neither eco-mode addict nor 'lead sole' mode. I drive gently 95-98% of the time, and sometime put my right foot down. Additional question, what is the fuel tank capacity on a Kodiaq RS? I'd like to assess if a 600km trip can be done without refueling in between. Thanks for your answers.

Good choice that changing from 68Ah to 70Ah. I did it too. 10 years old is a good performance though! But... Maybe your Mk3 has the chance to "sleep" in a garage?... Back to your question: changing the serial number via VCDS is only a way to warn the battery management system that it has been replaced. A more important point, is to change the autonomy parameter and set it to 70 Ah instead of the original 68 Ah, otherwise it won't take into account that your new battery has a larger autonomy and the battery management system may consider it's fully loaded, whereas it is not. These 2 mods are only a 10-minute job via VCDS.

Master Jedi @ApertureS talked. To chose you have. Either forget the idea you must, or prepare yourself for several hours of DIY you will... 😁

Hi, Did you have a look here? http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Fault_Codes Not sure all codes are there.

No, "L" is not like a BMW 750iL compared to a T50i for instance. It's just a question of trim level.

Hi @47Sportline, You may be right. But if I remember well, I think I also made a test with right rear fog lamp block disassembled and plugged, directly on a 12V battery. I've switched to something since else since that time, considering it would not work. I will most probably reconsider activating my right rear fog lamp. 😁

Thanks for a that. could you PM me this technical note please?

If it works fine again, then forget it…

It’s used for ACC and front assist.
