I have noticed a loose cable in the passenger (nearside) footwell. Photos below. Any ideas? Also the foam type material to cover the underside area of the glove box is secured by one plastic button (about 1cm in diamater, looks like a push in securing button). Should there be more or other securing devices? Skoda Karoq SE L 1.5 TSI reg Nov 2018.

I found this thread whilst considering whether to buy Skoda's extended warranty as I was particularly interested in the long term reliability of the DSG box. There is mention of whether to service/change oil in the DSG at 4 years. My Skoda service plan has "DSG Gearbox Service" at end of year 4. Previous automatics have been a K reg Volvo 240 Estate 2.0 auto - the auto box was problem free for at least 17 years and still going ok when we sold it. A Y reg Ford Mondeo Estate 2.0 auto estate that continued to go well when my parents sold it at 12 years old. The car is a 68 reg Karoq SE l 1.5 DSG. It had it's 3 year service last week and also now has an MOT. The car will be 3 years old around 27th Nov. Mileage is 25k. I drive it with the stop/start off. Note - stop/start not used as I find it a nuisance in car parks, most of the stops at traffic lights, etc. are on slopes - stop with the foot brake. We rarely encounter M25 stop/start traffic as the roads around here are freeing moving and being retired we can avoid rush hour queues. So I am thinking the DSG will be reliable long term - the plan is to keep the car for around 10 years or so and then buy a zero emissions car, i.e. electric - or perhaps sooner if suitable cost effective cars appear - the 50% uplift for electric is a bit much and there are other more effective greener 'investments' for less money. The Skoda extended warranty being offered is around £150-£200 depending on the excess - so I think I will take this up for the 4th year. Any comments welcome on the DSG and warranty.

Two photos of the Karoq Vario Flex rear seat electrical connections. One shows the floor pan with the nearside seat connections (the double block of which only one is used on my Karoq) and the red warning triangle flap cover for the centre seat. Why does only the centre seat have a flip over red triangle warning flap? As you can seat one part of the cover for the nearside seat has got broken, probably by the heavy seat being dropped on it in the wrong position. The second photo shows the missing part which has broken into 2. Is this small flap available as a spare part? It has the following moulded in - >PBT-GF20< and 10138397? If not available, your suggestion(s) please as to which type of glue could be used to glue another plastic strip across the back or the front to hold the 2 parts together.

To Ash West. Do you have a photo?

Our second key fob is not working. There is no red light when you press any button. The second key fob battery has been tested with a meter and shows 3.0 v. I have changed the second key fob battery for a brand new battery which also shows 3.0v and still no red light when you press a button. The second key fob resides in my wife's handbag who does not drive so the second key fob is not used to start the car and we do not know when the second key fob was last used to open/close the doors or how long the red light has not worked - we just spotted this today. The first key fob works fine. Any suggestions?
