  1. Just wanted to say a massive thank you to @TasMan for the detailed guide. I'm not very mechanically-minded, but the whole thing took me about 10 mins on my Karoq and saved £87 labour - nice one!

    Winter tyres

    They arrived yesterday (great service from Mike @ Listers), and I swapped them over today. Already they feel better (no wheelspin, although it’s not been wet today), ride is slightly better and the noise is definitely reduced.

    Ah, I should have checked; mine has the pressures for 19/18/17/16 on it. Easy!

    The benefit of being an over-excited car geek I suppose Who knows, maybe Michelin will bring out the CrossClimates for the bigger wheels; there's got to be a lot of Range Rovers, F-Paces, etc. out there who would rather be running all season tyres.

    I have the same problem, these cold mornings where it’s close to zero or damp I seem to wheel spin out of most junctions! I’ve got the 19” wheels with Pirellis, but am in the process of swapping to 17” CrossClimate+ (see the Winter Tyres thread). It’s my first DSG, so maybe just takes getting used to - but I can’t think of a single time that I spun the wheels on my torquier (manual) Civic.

    Those of you that changed wheel size as well as tyres, do you still use the pressures listed in the fuel cap?

    Not received mine yet, but having driven this morning at 1ºC and wheel-spun on almost every junction I'm glad I made the decision to buy

    Ordered the set from Listers as recommended, just waiting for them to be delivered from the warehouse. Also ordered a set of wheel bags from Superskoda, not realising they probably won't fit my 19" wheels (description says up to 18")

    Thanks for the update! Did you order them with the CrossClimates fitted or just the wheels?

    @Marchinus did you get a chance to try out the new wheels?

    Thanks for the info, out of interest which size wheels did you have originally? Any other advantages/disadvantages you noticed after changing? Cool, so I'd still need to check the offset, etc.?

    They’d be 215/60, I hadn’t actually considered whether the suspension, etc. could cope with that change from the wider 19”s?

    Thinking of buying a set of 16" Castors to put CrossClimate+ tyres on (not available for the 19" Craters); anyone know where's cheapest to order a full set from? I'm going to guess it won't be from the UK dealers
  14. Looks great! One question, does it block the boot light / torch on the left?
  15. My only regret is that I've already kerbed an alloy Still, it was going to happen sooner or later and now it's out of the way.
  16. I think they have a little silhouette disk which slides in front of the light to make the logo. Will have to investigate if that can just be popped out, leaving a blank light.
  17. Thought of the next thing to change: those embarrassing SKODA door lights
  18. My Edition came with P7s I'm afraid.

    I got mine from the Skoda live chat (bottom right of the page, http://www.skoda.co.uk/about-us/contact-us) - I didn't even have an order number and they were able to find me by name and address.
  20. Fitted the vent covers this morning; sturdy and even come with adhesive strips. Really good for the price!
  21. It has a CD/DVD player, like you said it's in the glovebox not on the actual unit.
  22. Oh cool, I just submitted a request on the Hatchbag site, glad it's coming soon!
  23. Yes, there's a little switch down by your right leg - opens and closes it electronically.

    Email the CEO; you won't get a response from them personally but they usually have an 'executive team' who handles things like this. In my experience with other companies, these teams are a lot better at getting things sorted than the normal CS reps.
