hope not, just bought used Karoq. best car in my life. (best was Yeti 4x4 but this Karoq was most expensive) 😅

there is something that slows down, prevents people who want clean air, water and soil from improving it over time, for their children, grandchildren. human society as a whole is selfish. while in the EU and the rest of the pro-western countries every gram of CO2 counts, countries in Asia pollute 20x more, recently I saw a city on a river in Asia, one after another, trucks with municipal and other waste in a row unload all this in tons into the river that carries it all into the sea. disgusting to see. there is hypocrisy here too. in eco tests when registering a car, you in the UK call it MOT, diesel can pass even with the exhaust gas purification components removed, while on a petrol car several chemical compounds are measured per gram, in accordance with the ecological standard. What is measured on diesel? gas opacity? ridiculous. yes, they only measure that because no diesel car can reach the environmental norm assigned to it, maybe when it's brand new, but I watched a documentary where mechanical engineers, mechanics and a few others compare complete tests of all exhaust gases of a diesel and a 1.5 liter petrol. the 5-year-old gasoline had everything within the norm, while the diesel had gases that were increased by 100%, while the PN, the number of particles was twice the norm. norm 5-6 for diesel or gasoline prescribes the number of particles at 250,000 in 1cm3. on a new car, 6 months, 5,000 km, 1 million was measured, on a 5-year-old diesel car with 100,000 km, 2 million were measured, which is 8 times more than the norm., diesel will never be in accordance with the norms. they are going through lobbying and scandals and now the plan is to remove all ICE cars from the streets. many scientists agree that it is too late to stop environmental change. we should have reacted in the 1980s. sorry for the long post.

this is enough of debris.. strange.. you ofter driving off road?

pull it out and wash it. i used 7% HCL and shining like new.

Torsen - quattro system is real 4 wheel drive, when all the time all 4 wheel are engaged in different ratio. Haldex is system of rear dillerential with hidraulic clutch, in normal use work only front wheels, rear diff is working when some of front wheels slips. but that happens in miliseconds, so you dont feel any slipping. i had Yeti 2012. with Haldex 4 and enjoyed driving it.

usually on cars below the real price you have a lot of investment waiting for you. maybe there is some serious defect. you need to investigate it well. it is possible that there is no DPF or EGR for a long time, everything has been deleted. get ready to invest, if you don't do it yourself, but go to a service station for everything, it may not be profitable for you. this is a newer model year, on those from 2010 or 2011 I can already see corrosion, which is incredible, I had a cheap renault megane 2010, sold it to a colleague and there is still no corrosion anywhere and it is 15 years old. i hope the karoq won't corrode at 12 years old.

air in system or variable water pump not working as it should.. also thermostat can make problems.

i plugged simple obd2 tool and with Torque app monitored some stuff. also, charging voltage ov battery goes up and down, even to 13V to 14.5V. as lond as none error displays on dashboard its ok. smart battery managment - smart batteries - EFB, AGM, new technolgies. their reason is again ecological, an unnecessarily loaded alternator puts a strain on the engine, which then consumes more fuel and increases emissions.

Right. My mistake.

i dont know. i was first prepair to made this tools with high quality steel M18 threaded rod. maybe i still do it. just cut 25 cm of rod and I remove 20+ cm of thread by machine. it will leave 3 cm of thread and 20+ 17 mm rod which i shall polish. 😉most simple is buy this bolt and just cut it on 2 places :

I ordered steel one, silver. Will buy one plus too. Thaks.

How much brake fluid i need to bleed braking system? i have Karoq 1.5 tsi 2019 and i think brake fluid was never changed. i will change it manually with minimal loss. i buyed 1 litre of ATE 6 SL, will it be enough? which order do i have to take, first rear wheels, than front? i did it many times on my cars but i never had VAG.

i ordered one from aliexpress 😆 say should i order one more?

did they check gasoline is goin normally in cilinders, or theres no spark. it can be only one of this. on my friends car, not a skoda, but renault, in the fuel tank, on the cap there is a small valve, like a small hole, plus a large vent. it was clogged for him and during a long drive he could no longer start because the fuel supply system was under pressure. after 15 minutes of standing, it returned to normal and started normally. it is necessary to check whether it throws fuel at the nozzles.

mechanic said those are most confortable. it does matter to me because i have sciatica issues.. harder ones are bilstein, Kayaba..

i will replace them, think will buy Sachs 318198..

i am planning on my 2020 1.5 tsi evo 150 turn off ACT and raise power to 170-175 ks and torque to 280-300 Nm. my friend tuner says it is by stock not much tunable engine, small turbo, small intake, small coolant etc. he says its ECO engine, beside 2.0 tsi which you can get from stock to 180 ks to stage 1 remapping to 256 ks and 435 Nm of torque..

all manufacturers have been using weaker materials lately, except where they consider it critical. yesterday I changed the coolant and the outer belt on my 1.5 tsi evo 150 hp and I also had a tensioner roller, I didn't think to change the entire tensioner because it's good. I'll do that at 120,000+ km, now it has 85,000 km. I didn't think to change it now either but I got an NSR Japan tensioner roller for 8€. I tried to unscrew the M10 screw that holds the roller to the tensioner but there's no way, I thought it was a left-hand thread so I even tightened it a few degrees. I took the entire tensioner off in a vice. but there's no way. I guess they put a lot of strong glue on it and it won't go and won't go. In the end I only replaced the belt, even though it wasn't needed, I saw that the old one was original without a single crack, not a single thread sticking out and it was thicker than the Contitech belt Made in Germany that I bought at an aftermarket parts store. I struggled a bit with the coolant because I don't have a vacuum device, VCDS asked me for a token, which I don't have, so I manually poured in distilled water first to flush the system a bit, but it didn't work, my temperature was almost in the red for a minute (121°C) until I found specific instructions somewhere on the internet: start it, let it idle until the fan started. turn it off, after turning it off the electric intercooler pump turns on by itself and runs for 5 minutes and turns off. I repeated the procedure once more and then went for a test drive. It was ok. then I drained the water and poured in Glacelf Plus Evo coolant at a ratio of approximately -28°C, because I don't like to put -38°C coolant on the old pump, a mechanical water pump can leak quickly. old coolant (factory from 2019 was at -23°C) repeated the bleed system and it was ok. my front right shock absorber is leaking a little but very little, barely noticeable, I won't change them again. strange after 5 years. it was on the yeti for 8 years and all 4 are completely dry. the quality of everything has gone down.

I recently got a device, it's actually a hose with a non-return valve, it's aluminum and after each use you have to disassemble and wash it, but it works great, one side is put on the bleeder valve and fixed with a string and the other in a container. you pump the brake - or clutch until the bubbles stop coming out. you tighten the bleeder and that's it. all together not even 5€ https://share.temu.com/Up4o7KI0RYA

yes.

this tensioner is dancing too much i see..

I found for myself here. https://mibsolution.one/#/1/9/MST2%20-%20TechniSat%20Preh/Firmware/SKODA_ZR/EU Username/pass - guest/guest

On my karoq 2019 also no TPMS, but abs is counting wheel turns and lenght. Cheaper to maintain.

Air filter 90000 kms is too much. Half of that have no sense.. Do you have that manual to share? I dont have that. Thanks

Thats only option. Today i put anti glare foil to central display. Enough dust and fingerprints 😆 It should be done from factory. Why they dont look to laptops and pc monitors. All have non reflective coatings on displays.
