i wouldn't mind start-stop if mine had the bark of an RS 3

my wishlist currently looks like this. any worthwhile additions ? permanently disable stop-start locking car while engine remains running permanently disable headlight washers disable loud beeping when driver’s door opened while engine is running one touch key fob boot opening

don't do Cupra, mate. on their forums, all they talk about is MPG, and all manner of warranty-busting, purpose-defeating mods eg LPG conversions

i'm a sucker for tan leather

can i see some photos of how you use your parcel shelves, please. taking up space in the house, about to bin it unless it demonstrates some utility

can't see the point of wireless Carplay - the charging pad is so inaccessible for larger phones that wired charging makes more sense

halogen DRLs are the work of the devil

any DSG durability or other downsides i'm failing to consider ? am unconcerned about fuel economy. Kodiaq RS with the DQ 500

does this bode well for quality and prices of replacement parts ? what other implications would there be, for private owners ?

i'm considering installing full-width third-brake-light strip on the inside of the rear windscreen. or, if a suitable product exists, horizontally-scrolling indicators. would appreciate product / technique recommendations. thank you

do they interfere with indicators / wiper / ACC stalk operation ? any downsides ? feedback particularly welcome if you've driven a car with prominent paddles, not the dinky VAG ones

downsides ?

i wouldn't bother with the other products. Alloygators work surprisingly well. car simply bounces off kerbs. an experienced installer is essential. alternatively, get a tyre with inbuilt rim-protection (sidewall bulge). i'll report back once i've tried Michelin PS 4

very tidy. how did you mount the front plate ?

cleaning off brake dust is getting old. any compatible brake pad replacements i could use instead ? Kodiaq RS on factory wheels

@ZacDaMan72, is such a price schedule available for Nz ? wanting to avoid surprises after my prepaid package ends

a feckin Kamiq Monte Carlo gets Vega wheels as standard, but you'd have to give Audi $3000 to get a lookalike on a $120k RS Q3

i'd happily pay for triple thickness clear-coat as a factory option, than faff around with PPF etc

with hindsight, i should've swapped the Extremes for Vegas. amazing that Skoda give Vegas as standard on a $60k car, for which Audi charge $3k in a $120k car (RS Q3)

stunned at how good or how poor the rim protection was ?

have settled on PS 4 SUV. anyone know if they have sufficient sidewall overhang or inbuilt rim protectors, to prevent kerbing ?

have found the tyre options for my 20 inch Extreme alloys so limited and over-priced (here in NZ) - i'm thinking of getting higher profile tyres to broaden my selection. what downsides are there ? not bothered about speedo accuracy, as i'll drive to compensate. am quite happy to sacrifice some handling for improved ride too

how normal is it, given the low odometer reading ? i’ve topped it up with distilled water, off to see dealer asap

new Scala. what might be causing this ? windscreen is wet IMG_8917.MOV

heard it after switching engine off. front right. brakes weren’t used much. help with possible diagnoses, please. thank you FullSizeRender.mov
