Best Oil for our Kodiaq (mine is a 2.0 TSI 4x4)
MyKodiaq168 replied to MyKodiaq168's topic in Skoda Kodiaq MKI (2017-2023)

Thanks, it's pretty clear to me now. VW 502 FULL SYNTH for a fixed OCI is the best, and fulfill the manual SPEC for my Kodiaq's EA888 GEN3B ENGINE. -

I would probably stick with a FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL - and a fixed OCI (1 year or 15000KM) The oil I am using is a Mid SAPS PAO based Ravenol 5W-30 VMP https://www.ravenol.de/en/products/usage/d/Product/show/p/ravenol-vmp-sae-5w-30.html Do you think if it's a good choice? -

MyKodiaq168 replied to MyKodiaq168's topic in Skoda Kodiaq MKI (2017-2023)
But isn’t VW 504 a tougher standard to pass (protect better, less wear) oil than VW 502? -
Dear Kodiaq owners, My Kodiaq 2.0 TSI coolant temperature once it reaches and keeps staying @ 90C and being steady like forever during 2 hours driving journey... But I check the engine oil temperature did go up and down according to the driving condition (mountain climbing it goes up to 110C, if freeway it goes down to around 100~105C) What are you guys' experiences? Is my Kodiaq's coolant reading normal?

7 Speed DSG Gearbox, wet or dry clutch ?
MyKodiaq168 replied to roughrider10's topic in Skoda Kodiaq MKI (2017-2023)
1.4 TSI Kodiaq has the DQ250 DSG BOX (WET, 6 speeds). 2.0 TSI Kodiaq: DQ500 (WET CLUTCH, 7 speeds). -
Reminded why STOP/START is nonsense
MyKodiaq168 replied to BoxerBoy's topic in Skoda Kodiaq MKI (2017-2023)
It's under warranty and they replace it for new one for free. -

Our Free Service Plans don't cover DSG oil change either, it's scheduled @ 60000 KM. It however included the engine oil change @ 15000, 30000, 45000 KM (using 5W-30 LL III oil, looks like a Castrol one) The Haldex oil change is also included (45000 KM) Halex oil is relative hard to find here, but probably a good idea for me , will give it a try -

Haldex oil exchange is included in the free-of-charge service provided by Skoda @ 45000 KM. -

I am the guy who intends to keep my Kodiaq for 10+ years,... 15 is even better... lol, not sure if it's a realistic idea though.. So, I feed him the best oil I can get form the market (it's a Vollsynthetisch oil made in Germany), https://www.ravenol.de/en/products/usage/d/Product/show/p/ravenol-vmp-sae-5w-30.html and change the oil every 7500 KM We do have 3 times free oil change service in Taiwan, the factory suggestion oil change interval is 15000 KM or 1 year, which comes first. And I am also considering to change the DSG ATF oil on 30000 KM, which is half of what Skoda suggests in the manual. Fortunately, after one and half year my Kodiaq is still working like perfectly, but only has one flaw: the headlights case getting "blur", and it's under Skoda warranty ..they replace it for free. -

Nope, only can be set to either DISABLE or ENABLE. So the 1st thing to do for me after getting in the Kodiaq is to disable it by pushing the button. I rarely need it to work... unless waiting at a very long stop-go signal. -

It's doable to disable it by default (Auto Stop/Start) via an OBDEleven. -
