No, it's a Karoq

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!

We are honoured Chris - the famous CJRP that started the longest running Delivery Times thread in February!
The benefit of being an over-excited car geek I suppose
QuoteMaybe I will end up doing the same as you with wheels and tyres.
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?

I just did something similar by buying a set of Triton 17" alloys and CrossClimate+ tyres and got a good price, about £300 less than my local dealer who supplied my car, and service from Mike at Listers who can be contacted using this email: [email protected]
Thanks for the info, out of interest which size wheels did you have originally? Any other advantages/disadvantages you noticed after changing?

See my post above with link.
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
-
Looks great! One question, does it block the boot light / torch on the left?
-
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.

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.
-
Thought of the next thing to change: those embarrassing SKODA door lights
-
My Edition came with P7s I'm afraid.

How do you get the build week numbers? Is it just if you order from a Skoda dealer?
We have placed an order through a leasing company and havent received a BW.
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.
-
Fitted the vent covers this morning; sturdy and even come with adhesive strips. Really good for the price!

It has a CD/DVD player, like you said it's in the glovebox not on the actual unit.

Oh cool, I just submitted a request on the Hatchbag site, glad it's coming soon!

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.

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!
