Yeah the garage are actually bmw specialists primarily so not used to working on VAG stuff as such but glad we got there in the end. Never expected it on a newish low mileage car but the car came from a car supermarket and no idea who previous owner was or if it was ex rental etc. Back in the day buying a car I would always ask dealer to see log book and then try to look the previous owner up in telephone directory 😂 data protection doesnt allow you them to show you anything anymore. If an old receipt or invoice has previous owners details on that has to be removed as well.

Thank you very much for this that seems to explain things better. I will get the one from Ebay and that should sort it out. Much appreciated and kind regards.

Thank you yes I would really appreciate that. Who would have thought buying a wiper blade would be so difficult 😆

Yes thanks for this it looks like the right one. Says on Ebay it won't fit and is 04/23 onwards but looking at the picture of the fitting it may be correct.

Yes thats what is on mine thanks for this very helpful

Thank you for this. So I assume that there is no bosch alternative available? £27 seems a bit excessive for a tiny single wiper 🤨 ill take a look online now at the part number and see. Very useful info. I looked also on euro car parts but the 2 different ones listed for the car on there are not right either.

Hi fellow skoda enthusiasts. I have a 2022 Karoq GL72FAK. I have recently serviced it and have replaced all wiper blades as we're making a horrendous noise. The rear bosch wiper I ordered based on assured fit from eBay using the registration. Also cross referenced this and A331H appears to be only one suitable. However this does not fit the car. I have contacted the supplier and they insist that this is correct for the car but the fitting is wrong so I suspect some kind of change during the production run of the car. I dont suppose anyone has encountered this issue and what the correct replacement is please? Many thanks.

Yeah all appears OK now. Think they reset the selector cables. Also plugged into computer and had to tell ECU that it has a new clutch which then resolved the hold assist feature and seems to release nicely now. Fingers crossed thats the issues resolved now. 🤞

All sorted now. Garage were able to plug car in and said they needed to tell ECU that a new clutch had been installed which then sorted the hold assist out and now releases perfectly. They also did rear pads and everything feels OK now 🤞

Just had a new clutch flitted on a 2022 1.0 Tsi with 37k. Old one was burnt out and feels loads better now. Got an issue with very sticky 2nd gear. I've tried resetting selector cables but not improved matters. It's going on tomorrow to be looked at. Had issues engaging 2nd when cold and also 6th didn't feel great. Just wondered if anyone has any suggestions why this might have happened please. Also got at issue with hold assist not releasing but that's another story 😔

Well the clutch has now been replaced. I had a look at the old friction plate and it was completely knackered worn down to the rivets and disintegrating on the edges. Unfortunately now 2nd gear is very notchy and struggled to engage it when cold so it's going back in tomorrow to be looked at again. Also now noticed an issue with the hold assist. Green light comes on when stationary but then doesn't release until clutch pedal fully released by which time the engine stalls. Wondering if this was part of the cause of the worn out clutch. Either that or the previous owner was a bad driver. Having had a look online othere have reported this and was fixed by either a recalibration or software update by skoda. It's still under warranty until November so looking like may be a trip to them to resolve. I have tried a hard reset by disconnecting the battery for an hour (every dash light and warning came on afterwards) Also tried to hold the button down for 5 seconds and then another 5 seconds but nothing has worked. I've just serviced the car and noticed that it needs new rear pads so ordered a set but have since seen that you need a diag tool to put the electric caliper into service mode 😮‍💨 my obd2 tool only reads and clears codes so probably going to have to pay for that to be done Also. Whatever was wrong with manual handbrakes? 😌

Thanks its been back in today and decision taken to install a new clutch so fingers crossed that cures it 🤞The biting point feels better since it's had a new slave but is still slipping so they think that the faulty slave over time may have damaged the clutch.

Hi it seems fine starting on a hill no judder or anything unusual. Seems to engage ok and accelerates under moderate load but then starts to slip under heavy load.

Good evening fellow Skoda owners. My daughter purchased a 2022 Karoq about 8 months ago from a car supermarket. It has only got 38k on clock. Had a few issues initially with suspension noises which the dealer eventually sorted out. Recently on a long drive got a message on dash "Clutch temperature too high - drive on" which was accompanied by the EPC light coming on and another message "Ensure clutch pedal not depressed" I have driven it myself and found that particularly when in high gears and putting foot down hard the revs increase and then the EPC kicks in and cuts the revs before all of the above messages appear. Took it to a trusted VW garage who suggested that it could be the slave cylinder which has some kind of valve which are known for not fully releasing the pressure in the clutch hydraulics and could be causing the issue. I think at some stage there was a recall for this, not sure if on this particular variant or if on another platform sharing the same drive train. The slave cylinder has been replaced and unfortunately has not cured the issue, so its going back in soon to be looked at again and potentially looking at a new clutch which is going to be costly. There is no smell of burnt clutch when this happens and the biting point is not high as I would have expected if the clutch was worn out so its a bit of a strange one. The slave is not concentric which rules out fluid leaking onto the clutch, not sure if oil could have found its way in there. Just wondered if anyone has experienced this issue at all and if the only cure was to replace the clutch. Its out of warranty with the dealer now but from past experience its a wear and tear item anyway and wouldn't be covered. It still has a couple of manufacturer warranty left but guessing that's going to be pretty much useless now anyway for this issue. My last car had 105k on clock when I sold it on its original clutch but I guess it depends how the previous owner drove it. Cheers guys!

Only about 3 months.
