Karoq Tyre Sizes
Phil, my ex-demo MY21 edition 2wd 1.5tsi dsg has Crater wheels and 225/40R19 Bridgestones as standard. Those tyres were appalling and I swapped them as soon as possible for Michelin CrossClimate2s. Which, in contrast, are superb tyres with incredible grip winter and summer.

Some Facelift SportLine Questions
That was the best move I made. Surefooted, more comfortable, excellent tyre life.

Skoda Karoq key battery number
I replaced the original Panasonic CR 2025 with a China made Energiser - no problems.

Skoda Karoq glovebox pen clip
I reckon so as the pen holder isn't attached to the lid, but the LH side of the glovebox.

Skoda Karoq glovebox pen clip
Wow, I went straight out to the car and, yes, it does have a flimsy pen holder. Who knew?

SOS issue again, and some info travelling in Europe
@Routemaster1461, When I got my MY20 1,5tsi Edition, I was having the SoS problems you describe. Sometimes it was triggered when going into a 5G area or changing towers in the 5G area. This was fixed by a software update until about 2 months ago when parked in a 5G area, I pressed the start button to continue listening to the radio while I ate my lunch and the SoS light and warning came on. It would not go and eventually I had the SoS module replaced which included reprogramming both keys. I never got to the bottom of the 5G question. Has anybody else had SoS issues associated with 5G I wonder?

Cambelt change necessary after 5 years?
Good to see some clear info up to MY20 but my Karoq is MY21. Is there a difference? Has anybody got any documentation to confirm the correct regime my car?

Thanks @Kenny R. Now if only someone could tell us what Elsapro said......

....... So what does 'Elsapro' say? (And what is it?)

Fuel gauge reading.
I can confirm that is normal. My fuel gauge usually moves after 70 or so miles from full.

Corrosion on 68 plate Karoq - disappointing
Is this a common problem? My 2020 built 2021 registered ex-demo Karoq has thesame rubber seal partially detached on one side too.

Daytime Running Lights with rear lights
Thanks to all you guys for the info and feedback. Sorted. I just need 'Scandinavian' mode switched on to achieve what I wanted.

Daytime Running Lights with rear lights
Thanks for all the suggestions. @kodiaqsportline, @BoxerBoy @J.R. Not obsessed, just trying to be safer. Appreciate the point about leaving the sidelights switched on as I usually leave them in auto headlight mode. @Phutters Wow

Daytime Running Lights with rear lights
Thanks @Phutters. Had a quick look at costs for Carista and it seems a lot for a one-off exercise. Any realistic alternatives?

Daytime Running Lights with rear lights
Sorry I cannot find the answer here so: I'd like to know if it is possible to have the rear lights come on with the DRLs?

Rear Brake noise
My 2021 Edition has the squealy brakes when reversing mostly when I have not used the car much. After a good long run the squeal does not happen.

Battery problems with key fob
When my battery went, I replaced it with an Energiser one that I'd had unused for a few years. I didn't knowingly press any button for 5s but it worked fine. Strange?
-
Rearview camera, any options?
@Kenny r, It depends on whether you have a Rear View Camera or an Area View Camera. Your extract is for Area view and the Karoq manual is similar, but the Rear View Camera gives the view described by @KaroqyBalboa

Anyone fitted 19" all weather tyres on their Karoq?
@kodiaqsportline Glad you're sorted.

@SurreyJohn I managed to buy 4 CrossClimate 2s in 225/40 R19 for £773 last December through ASDA tyres but fitted locally. Best thing swapping the Bridgestones!
