  1. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for everyone. Even the manual says it's something to try. Personally, I've had mixed results from that expedient. It sure must be attempted several times before giving up.
  2. ... unless it's of the KESSY kind. For those, a spare battery in the wallet helps.
  3. From standstill, there is practically no difference between S and D, at least in mine. As long as the car is moving, yes, S will keep the revs higher and the car will thus accelerate more promptly when requested.
  4. My 2019 1.5 TSI DSG is my first non-manual car. With this technical soul of mine, I can only be amazed by the smoothness of DSG gear shifting. My only grievance is the inability to jump briskly in a fast moving traffic gap, except by launching, which seems pretty extreme. When normally starting from standstill, DSG engages the clutch far before the revs reach the turbo boost threshold.
  5. Actually, on the following two balancing sessions I did remind my tyre fitter of that detail and he didn't seem to mind. He is a nice person.
  6. There was no problem fitting my 215/60R16 6Jx16 ET43 wheels at all. As my fitter was using two sizes of balancing weights, he pointed out that the lower profile weights should be used in my case. Just a heads up. 🙂
  7. Low profile wheel balancing weights may be required on front 16" alloy rims.
  8. To keep in mind that wipers for a LHD Karoq differ from those for a RHD model. For continental Europe the code is Bosch Aerotwin A863S.
  9. +1
  10. Long before shutting down subsystems, low battery will start developing sulfation, which deteriorates the thing. For this reason we should not let the battery rest at less than 12.4V. I don't drive much and so I have to charge the battery with the external charger rather frequently. A Bluetooth battery monitor helps me keep an eye on the battery resting voltage.
  11. Keeping the speedo error within prescribed limits is a car maker's concern. As long as the user mounts wheels from the approved wheels list, they are not responsible for any speedo reading inaccuracy. Mounting wheels that are not approved is illegal, but still, excessive speedo error is not the main reason for that.
  12. Is the Lights setting item missing in your Car Settings infotainment section ?
  13. On my 2019 I can set the halogen lights' height on the infotainment: Car > Settings > Lights
  14. At first it seemed too empty looking, but after a while it started to grow on me... I'd certainly redo the test on a picture taken in the open, in soft light.
