Found the following tool on Amazon, appears to make changing wheels a lot easier. Of course you may find it cheaper elsewhere. Sealey WheelEazy™ Wheel Fitting & Alignment Tool - AK7500 - £35

Looked in owner’s manual & can find no reference to spark plug type. I understand these should be changed every 4 years. can anybody help?

Need put a cover over my Karoq, as parking under trees results car being covered sap from tree & bird crap. Please can anybody recommend a suitable cover.

Just got vehicle back from dealer, having had new turbo fixed under warranty - extended 5 year taken out when vehicle purchased costing about £550. Saw cost of new turbo just under£1k, excluding labour & vat. Cause of turbo failure was seized actuator. On enquiring as to reason for this, it was suggested that not using vehicle for some weeks was likely cause!

After having vehicle on charge for 24hours no change, still got same warning messages & fault symbols for engine. Had a look at error codes P25B3 & 4. Turbo wastegate stuck open & closed. Vehicle now with local ŠKODA dealer, they confirm Turbo fault. New Turbo on order, so glad I opted for 5year warranty. Think I may have got my money back. Not sure about Stop Start & ACC error messages, surely not due to Turbo failure?

Many thanks for all the replies to my post. I too suspected the battery. It has now had 12hours of charging & a 35mile drive. Unfortunately still getting all the original error messages etc. Next I need to see a friend who can check the fault codes.

After leaving car used for 10 weeks, started ok but, messages- stop start error, Acc error plus EPC in orange & engine symbol in orange & message don’t exceed 4000 rpm. Drove for couple of miles, stopped & switched off. On starting up no change. Any thoughts please, as to cause, problem & cure.

A couple of months back my Karoq 1.5 DSG was serviced. On picking it up I was informed that the rear bushes on the front wishbones were coming away from the metal. These bushes connect the wishbones to the anti-roll bar. I was informed that Skoda were aware of a batch of bushes that had a manufacturing defect. Both bushes have been replaced under warranty. With the new bushes I realise that there was a knocking coming from the front.

Has anybody found & installed a wireless charger in what would have been the Phone Box?

Many thanks for all your comments. I have just order the alloy wheel fitting tool, like so more things so simple & makes refitting wheels so much easier.

Yesterday I got bored, realising I had never tried to jack my Karoq up, I thought it would pass the time. Removed jack from storage place by the spare wheel, found the front offside jacking point & jacked the car up. No problem, jack lifted the car very quickly compared with some jacks I have used in the past. So what next, I will try removing the wheel. So lowered the car, loosened the wheel nuts, sorry studs & jacked car up again. Removed the wheel, then realised just how heavy a 19” x 8J alloy wheel is. Replacing the would not have been a problem if there were studs. After a lot of wasted effort trying to lift the wheel, line the holes up & inset the stud, I found the only was to slowly lower the car until the wheel could be lined up with the hub & insert the studs. That will teach me, but at least it was an emergency! Does anybody know of another way to replace a wheel?

Using the Compatibility checker for this item, it states that it is not suitable for Karoq 2019 1.5tsi

Having not heard from Skoda UK for over 7 days, I gave them a gentle reminded & received the following “Thank you for your email regarding updating our systems to fully reflect Model Year 2020 changes on the ŠKODA KAROQ. I have checked for contact from the Product Team and have received a response: Currently the car configurator, price and spec guide and brochure are planned to be available from 20 August. The KAROQ 1.5 TSI 150PS manual engine, will be available from September onwards. I hope this information proves useful and thank you for contacting ŠKODA UK.” so so I wait & see!

I raised the question with Skoda (UK) & here is there response “Thank you for your email regarding brochures, price lists and updating the car configurator to reflect Model Year 2020 changes. “I have checked this with our Vehicles Support Team and we believe that this query requires further investigation. Therefore, I have sent your query off to the Product Team so we can gain further information on this. Once I have received a response from our Product Team, I will endeavour to update you on this matter as soon as possible. Thank you for contacting ŠKODA UK.” As we are now close to the end of July 2019, the factories, I would think should be starting to build MY2020 vehicles. Skoda are currently holding an event offering extra £1k Karoqs ordered between 25/07/19 & 07/08/19. How can you expect anybody to place an order then brochures, price list etc are not available?

Having been told earlier year that the Karoq Edition with 1.5tsi DSG was only available in 4x4 form. I now hear that the MY 2020 Edition with 1.5tsi DSG is coming back in 2 wheel form. However not sure if it will have the panoramic opening roof. No form confirmation from Skoda though.
