Cambelt change necessary after 5 years?
I had the 4 years service done in May by the official Skoda dealer I had bought the car from. Before leaving, I asked when the cam belt change was due and the guy replied that there was no cam belt change in the schedule, so my engine must have a cam chain.

KESSY unlocking temperamental
Mine disables the passenger door lock after three days of rest. I assume it does so to save battery charge.

Me too... Mine dims the conventional dashboard lighting to give that warning.

Start/Stop system no longer shuts engine off when stopping
I do the same on my MY2019. But there was a rumor that the option of switching start/stop off would be abolished.

Karoq cam belt change - start saving now !
My concern as well. According to Skoda Workshop manual, current cambelt replacement requires very careful handling of the new belt and a dedicated device for tuning the new installation.

12v Front Socket - Permanently Live?
Try first 10 min after the car was normally parked and locked. If the plug is on, then it's on permanently.

12v Front Socket - Permanently Live?
Mine is a MY 19 and is permanently live too. I have a V-meter permanently plugged in, so I can monitor the battery voltage through the closed window while the car is parked and locked for several days.

Locking Wheel Nut?
The wear pattern that you are getting may also be caused by severe underinflation. Check the pressure first.

Locking Wheel Nut?
My 2005 Octavia came with locking wheel bolts, the 2019 Karoq didn't. Check the wheels. You will need to search for the adapter only if one of the bolt heads on each wheel is different from the other four conventional hexagonal heads.
