This might be better: Read down to my bit as it's not really necessary to take the door trim apart. The link to the parts are at the top of the thread.

Have a read through this thread in the Karoq section: INSTALLATION OF THE WELCOME AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS (RED) OF THE FRONT DOORS. Really easy mod to do

Yes, 14 x 1.5 is the correct size for your Karoq. I bought one of these from eBay a few years back - absolutely brilliant bit of kit. Makes changing wheels a doddle, as I swap summer/winter wheels annually. Mine was from TRS UK, but they're all of a muchness.

Just curious if any Karoq/Kodiaq owners out there has had any problems with the rear fog light not working? I haven't had the need to use the rear fog light for ages but when I did try it a couple of days ago it was very dim (they have 3 LED's) and flickering. After a few seconds a fault light comes on the matrix, together with the message "Please check right rear fog light" (even though it only has the one). The fault light and message does not latch, and disappears after switching off the engine and doing a restart. I've bought a replacement fog light from Skoda and intend to replace it asap as there is a very good video on YT regarding taking off the rear bumper. The only dodgy bit is doing it in the very cold weather as, after removing the two light clusters and lifting the plastic clips which retain the top of the bumper. Probably a job for a hot air gun to warm thing up a bit. Thanks.

My tuppence worth too? Unless the AdBlue system was calling for refilling, to my mind it should have been left alone. I usually let mine get down to about 200 miles to go, then refill from a 10 ltr container. It normally takes about 9 ltrs, and then I put the remaining 1 ltr in a couple of months later. It sounds to me like they have either grossly overfilled the tank or not followed the correct refill procedure. For a salesman (who could have been selling shoes a month ago, or could be selling carpets next year), to say it 'should' disappear in a day or so, and it was not unusual is complete twaddle. If the proper procedure was followed ie refill until the first cut off glug (for want of a better word), then switch on the ignition only for around 30 seconds (no engine start) so the the AdBlue system recognises the quantity. After that, you can start the engine and all should be well. The status of the AdBlue can be seen in either the infotainment screen or the MySKODA app if you have it - from about 1k miles it will display the remaining milage, other wise it will show FULL. It's a pity your first venture into Skoda ownership has been spoilt by poor customer service because they really are good cars and represent excellent value for money imho

Cheers Kenny.

Out of curiosity, is the Haldex gauze filter a replaceable part ie clipped in, or does it form a fixed part of the Haldex unit?

My Karoq has always done this, temp up or down. I don't know the significance of it is, but it doesn't seem to have any detrimental effect on it.

Yes, fortunately it was still under warranty, so I took it back to the dealer and got one of their tech guys to have a look at it. The BLIS indicators flashed very briefly as described above, and I believe they simply re-flashed the software and it all was well. Touch wood, it has never gone wrong since, which is just as well, as without it being in warranty I would reckon they would tell you there was all sorts of catastrophes, not to mention costing nearly £100 just to hook it up to the diagnostics. The whole process was done in the time it took to have a coffee there.

Mine did exactly the same thing a few months ago. The passenger side mirror sometimes did not move at all, other times it would dip down but then return to its original position. The drivers side mirror had no control at all for a while. tried everything you've done, but in the end I reset the whole seat memory position, then reset the dip on reverse passenger side mirror. So far so good, everything seems to be working fine for well over a month.

As Root says, it's a PITA if you're stuck behind a car with its brake lights on, as is being behind a car which has its indicators flashing away at an obvious left hand turn. In situations such as being stopped at traffic lights I make a point of waiting until the next car coming up behind has fully stopped (and maybe the next car along, if the traffic is racking up) then flicking the parking brake on. The dashboard brake light indicator changes after a few seconds after doing this so you know your brake lights have gone out.

Hi Warrior193, yes you may be correct about that but it should be fine for the time left before a coolant change when the water pump is replaced next December. Not sure about other VAG vehicles, but when I asked the Skoda parts guy he told me that they no longer sell the tank with the silica bag inside. Not sure if that's 100% correct or not but hey ho.
