Bosch wipers a big step up from originals imo Got them F & R and very good

TBH, this is a piece of string question but fwiw I agree with CJJE's and PedalBin's figure for my MY22 1.5L DSG. Every one of the following will have an impact on what anyone can achieve. Traffic? Time of day you drive? Long commute or multiple short journeys? How much Pb in your right foot? Driving Mode? Passengers? Cargo?

Thank you Was just thinking out loud as to why the tyres fitted may be different. The fact both of our Karoqs had the same make & model of tyre suggests supplied with them. Possible both 'owners' changed to the Bridgestones but would be a helluva coincidence if they did.

Not sure about any uplift but definitely Bridgestone. FWIW, both were ex-Motability cars so maybe specced differently by them. My wife's car had them too before switching to the Pirellis. I took one for the Team by keeping the 4/8 tyres with the most tread and the mobile tyre fitter took away the other 4. Hortible tyres but didn't fancy coughing up the sheckles for 8 in one go.

My MY22 SEL with 18" wheels is definitely 2.5Bar front and back FWIW, mine still has the OEM Brigstone tyres. They are s***e and will be replaced fairly soon. They can lose traction when pulling out of junctions but never when pulling away in a straight line. It feels like juddery transmission rather than simple spinning wheels. My wife's MY23 has Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3s and does not experience that issue. So, you may wish to check if the car you're interested in has the OEM's fitted. It could possibly be those and not the transmission even if it fells like it is.

What did you lubricate it with? Hopefully not WD40. I made the mistake once of using that on the lock on my alley gate. The residue turns into a stiff/sold waxy substance when it's very cold and it is possible, even if remotely, that the on-going low air temperature is holding something in the 'wrong' position making the car think the door is not closed properly.

Apologies if I've got the order of streps taken wrong but here goes I got the low battery warning on the dash Changed the battery (admittedly a cheapo £ shop CR2032) Nothing/nowt/nada/... Removed and tested the voltage. Was Ok Re-inserted the same battery Nothing/nowt/nada/... Didn't try to re-pair/synchronise Inserted a different Duracell CR2032 Worked straight away Ok, the italicised bit. Is there a possibility that the battery fitted had enough oomph in it to corrupt the pairing procedure but not enough for it to do what you wanted in the first place? Or going through the pairing procedure effectively meant the key was never going to work even with a different battery? Based on my experience it took a third try of fitting a new fully charged battery before the fob worked. Varta should be good but ......

Hi John I read your previous post as you intended it to come across. No harm at all in emphasising the risks involved in messing about with the control units. The automotive equivalent of bricking a phone. TBH, I chose the VAG approved OBD Eleven as I didn't want to risk a warranty claim being rejected on the back of them being able to detect (if they could) a non-approved reader being attached and scanning the control units.

I wanted a better quality OBD reader to diagnose info about a problem I was having and managed to get an OBD Eleven 2 Pro sub for a very good deal a couple of weeks ago. £40 odd and not available now. Chose OBD Eleven due to the VAG/Skoda approval. Got the info I needed and the car is going in to a dealer for a warranty repair in early Jan I subsequently treated myself to some One Click Apps credits at a similar discount to the reader itself. Changes you can make to a Karoq include >>> https://obdeleven.com/customizations/skoda/karoq/2021 e.g. I have adjusted the Tear Drop wiping, Alternative Parking for Wipers and a couple of the external lighting options. Very simple to do using the OBD Eleven VAG app on my phone. I have no personal interest in dicking about with Long Coding or any of the SFD tied down functions and was really only highlighting above that OBD Eleven can help 'someone' do it if 'someone' wants to :)

You can toggle it on/off in-vehicle via Settings in my MY22 Karoq You can also do it with an OBDEleven One Click App. The link is about turning it on but it's the same process to switch. https://obdeleven.com/customizations/skoda/karoq/2021/auto-lock-unlock

I would try letting it connect and then selecting the other Infotainment screen options I always say yes IF it asks. Sometimes it just does it automatically and doesn't ask. But I always want it to so not a problem for me

AKA percussive persuasion 🙃

Interesting Maybe the screen I had retro-fitted to my MY22 Karoq in very late 23 was one that would have been fitted to a MY24 vehicle as I can't see any wires in mine.

Is there a possibility that Skoda had changed the method of manufacture? My car is a MY22. Those of you that have 'the issue' have MY24 or 25. Something? Nothing?

Just had a look at the screen in my 72 plate SE L. I bought it in Dec 23 and had a heated screen fitted. I mention the dates as this may be a factor. Maybe the method of manufacture has changed between the one I had fitted from Skoda's stock to how they were subsequently made and fitted to your vehicle. The car I got rid of when I bought it had one and I really wanted to have that feature available. The screen was ordered from Skoda and fitted by the Dealer before I took delivery If there are wires I struggle to see them. Is that the screen? Is that my eyesight? I have never experienced any issues seeing out of the car regardless of the weather and whether I am driving into a low sun. I have never considered it anything but completely clear. I do however see a slight iridescence when I look at the vehicle from the outside from my first floor window. It is a little more obvious when it is sunny. I assumed (you would wouldn't you) that this was related to it being a heated screen but now also wonder if it is also partly due to looking at it when the screen is perpendicular to my line of sight. From ground level inside or outside the screen will always be at an angle to my line of sight. Hope that makes sense. The only other make of car I can remember seeing this iridescence in the front windscreen is in Mercs. Again, I assumed this was because they had heated screens rather than having Gary'd/pimped up their rides with window film. I am therefore not sure at all why you can see what you can in your car.

PS What does the dealer say about it? Have you compared it with another vehicle at the dealership with the same screen to see if you have one with a fault?

I had a genuine one retro fitted but don't have the issue you describe. It is invaluable in cold but not necessarily sub zero temperatures.

Mine was the same and I renewed to get the discount. Confirmation message says it would be added on to run consecutively

I understand that the latest Bridgestone all season tyres get good reviews but the OEM version that cars are suppled with are generally regarded as a bit merde. FWIW, the difference in ride quality between the Bridgestone OEMs and the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 on my wife's MY23 Karoq was striking.

FWIW, I have not found that a problem with the aftermarket pad I bought

I'd probably just go for the appropriate one of these for the USB type (A and/or C) and W output you need https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=usb-c+car+charger&crid=36KM1NGXFIOWA&sprefix=usb-C+car+chargers%2Caps%2C181&ref=nb_sb_ss_mvt-t11-ranker_1_18
