Karoqer130

Is there someone in Central Scotland that could do some reprogramming for me?

So the car is booked for Wednesday and I'll get a call from ŠKODA UK on Thursday about compensation.

So I got a call this morning safter spending a few days ringing the dealership and Skoda UK and mentioning the consumer rights act and as soon as that was mentioned it clearly ruffled a few feathers as my car is now booked in for Wednesday morning to have the control unit for the whole in car entertainment replaced. Apparently there are 3 major components to the head unit and they are replacing at the radio part and the control part, the third part the physical screen wouldn't cause the issues I've been having so it's not important to replace that. I'm still going to be on Skoda UK's case for compensation for my wasted time and diesel going back and forth to the dealership. Many thanks for everyone's help and I'll update on here after Wednesday to tell you all the outcome.

In order: the phone only pairs to the head unit occasionally, it sometimes takes and receives calls and it gets fussy about music and 9/10 times will display the previous song name and artist than the one you're actually listening to. I think they are clutching at straws because if they give the phone excuse then they might be able to class it as "solved" on their end and not have to fix it any more. It's a 3 month old car and I've had enough.

Yeah..... fun that's what I was thinking, cheers for the best wishes. I'm getting ready to kick some ass tomorrow if needs be

Yes they can but, it's an intermittent fault and 30 mins after I left the dealer I had the problem so I drove straight back to the dealership and showed the technician and he said "ooh that shouldn't be happening, I don't know how it's done that" so I'm not feeling full of confidence in the dealership

I've tried 4 different phones so it must be the head unit.

This is what makes me think that I have a faulty head unit and that it just needs to be replaced. I'm gonna call the dealer again tomorrow

It's a huawei p20 lite, there are a lot huawei phones that are compatible but mine is "too new" and should be on the list soon, so until then I have to wait and see what Skoda UK can do about it.

It makes no difference what I do, it keeps having issues, skoda have said my phone is too new and isn't an authorised device so I'm gonna call skoda UK and see what they say

Using skoda connect and it's the columbus, they are saying that my phone that was released in May 2018 is to new and that's causing the head unit to go into a fault state

So recently I let you all know that I was having problems with my Bluetooth in the car and it had been looked at by skoda a few times. On a recent 900 mile drive I had more problems with it so today my car is in AGAIN and they are already trading to blame the software and Bluetooth version of my brand new mobile for the problem. So the question I ask you all here is what do I do next if Skoda blame my phone and the 3 others I've tried and don't fix the problem.

Well they couldn't find a fault again today after diagnostic checks but the workshop guy has sent a tech inquiry to Skoda UK and will call me as soon as they have an answer, he did say that if all else fails then they'll have to take out the dash and fit a new head unit (luckily I wouldn't have to pay) although hopefully it won't need to come to that.

Get it vinyl wrapped, that way if you don't like it just peel it off

You just need the black grille now hahaha

So my Karoq is only 4 months old and I'm having issues with the Bluetooth on the car and android Auto, its an intermittent fault but every once in a while the car comes up with "Unable to switch on Bluetooth" and then no matter what I try it won't work for the rest of that day. I've tried factory resetting the head unit but to no avail. Has anyone had the same issues?

Where can I get a cheap set of 18 inch alloys or am I cheaper getting my current ones powder coated

If you find alloys on the official skoda website is the price for 4 alloys or just the one. Picture included for reference. Thanks in advance

Here's my 1.6 TDI SEL DSG petrol blue looking brilliant in the sun, 5 weeks of ownership and already done 3000 miles with no problems, I love this car!

So I've just gone out to my car and this is all the info on the fuel flap and it's left me more puzzled, what should I do now? Is the standard tyre a 225/50/r18 or is it my 215/50/r18 my car was built and waiting in Germany when my dealer located it so does that affect anything?

I have a 1.6 TDI

What different fuels are these? I'm guessing the big companies will do some sort of marketing

They look really good, I might just get my bragas powder coated

Happy to help and I cant recommend that guy enough for his easy to follow explanations for things

So my tyres are 215/50/r18 which seems to be smaller than everyone else's here, what size should I get if I want good winter tyres for my 18's?
