Thanks @silver1011, I meant to mention this. When I fitted mine I did not use that third fixing point (told myself I would drill it later, but still haven't done it two years later...). They have been perfectly secure without it.

Great result - enjoy!

Definitely 'A'. The older ones will damage your car - see pics in the thread linked above by @SimonB68 I'm surprised the old ones are still available, to be honest. I've haven't heard of any of the Kodiaq models having different wheel-arches, not sure what they meant there. To be fair, it must be hard to keep track of lots of minor revisions and differences between all the different Skoda models.

Definitely do not pay loads of money to have these fitted! It is just a screwdriver job. EDIT: Sorry, as above, it is a job for a mini socket set, not a screwdriver. As above, you need to get the 'A' revision ones for the front. The revision wasn't to do with running boards (you still need to cut them if you want to fit with the OEM boards). The original front mudflaps required you to cut away part of the plastic trim on the car in order to fit them. It also sometimes caused damage to the trim over time. This was all fixed with the 'A' ones. The rear ones haven't needed revising, so no 'A' on them.

@kodiaqsportline That is a really helpful distinction to make between servicing and maintenance, I hadn't thought about it like that before. I suppose my worry would be that the policy wording doesn't really make the same distinction clear, and also specifically mentions a lack of maintenance as a reason for the warranty not to be honoured: Servicing – To ensure that your vehicle is maintained in good condition, it should be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. If it is not, we cannot be held responsible for any faults it may develop which could be attributed to the lack of service or maintenance. For this Warranty to remain valid, each service must be completed within 500 miles of the mileage recommended by the manufacturer or within four weeks of the recommended time period, whichever occurs first. If you fail to have your vehicle serviced in accordance with the manufacturers specification, cover will still apply for components which are not connected to vehicle servicing. I wouldn't be so sure about that. You're buying a car from Skoda, but its Volkswagen Financial Services who are supplying the warranty, and who are going to be the ones deciding whether or not it's valid. And after the Approved Used warranty has expired, many people will go on to buy an extended warranty or 'All-In' policy, which will be directly with VWFS. Agreed . It's just annoying that buyers have to be so proactive in making sure that the servicing/maintenance that should have been done, has been done. And that the 'Used Approved' tag seems to mean so little in practice.

Yes, it's been wireless since MY21

That is definitely a fair decision, but I don't think this one issue would have been enough to deter me personally, if the car ticked all the other boxes. Worst case scenario, if the Haldex pump did fail and the warranty wasn't honoured (which would seem very unfair), a new pump can be had for a shade over £200, and can be fitted yourself. On the other hand, if you're confident of finding another car that fits the bill, there's no need to take even that relatively small risk. Good luck with the continuing search 👍

I don't think it's unreasonable of you to ask that the Haldex service is carried out before buying the car. When I bought my car I subsequently found out that the Haldex service had not been done. When I complained to the dealer, they offered to carry it out for free themselves, or pay half the cost of another dealership doing it (it would've been a 600 mile round trip for me to go back to them). I was pretty annoyed at the time, as, like you, my expectation was that an 'approved used' vehicle sold by Skoda would have had any 'missing' services done before being sold on. Clearly this is not the case, and I didn't know enough at the time to ask. As above though, if this car has reached 40k miles I would be a lot more worried about making sure the DSG service was done (if it has a DSG, of course).

They are relatively cheap, and quick & easy to fit. Why not? Some protection is better than none.

Just 2.0 TSI engines since August 2020. Check out the link posted above by @roottoot for a list of models affected.

And the same goes for the brakes - your car doesn't have brake drums and linings, just pads and discs.

What happens when you push the button for the top glovebox? Is it completely loose, or is there resistance? There is a cable that goes from the button to the catch on the top glovebox. It's possible someone disconnected it at some point while removing the lower glovebox, and forgot to reconnect it. It could also be broken. I can give you some tips on taking the upper glovebox out to examine it, but the dealer should really be sorting this for you, so I would push them to do so.

As long as genuine Skoda parts are used, the warranty should be honoured. Experiences vary, however.

@MesaSunriseThat's good news, hope the work gets sorted soon. In terms of further warranty, if you are intending to keep having it serviced by a main dealer, then the 'All In' plan is good value. In addition to a two year extended warranty, you also get two oil and inspection services (one of which will be 'extended scope', and you can also get a new set of spark plugs, air filter and pollen filter included), two MOT's, and two years of roadside assistance. It costs £32 per month for two years, or £768 upfront. https://www.skoda.co.uk/owners/all-in-service-plan

No DQ200 on any Kodiaq, ever.

Indeed, as I found from experience when I bought a 3.5 year old car which later turned out not to have had Haldex or brake fluid services done. It should be a moot point in this particular case though, because of the warranty. And at only 22k miles, the first scheduled DSG service is still a long way off, so a missed DSG service can't be used as an excuse.

Sounds like a mechatronics issue. Something as simple as a temperature sensor could cause this issue (that was/is a common issue on one of the other DSG gearboxes), but the probability is that it will need a new mechatronics unit regardless of what the exact fault is. As above, push hard for this to be done under the approved-used warranty. Even if the warranty had expired, I would be pushing for Skoda to at least contribute to the costs, as the car is less than five years old, and it sounds like it has a pretty good service history, and obviously had been checked over to some extent as part of the approved used process. Good luck - please let us know how things go.

As above, the dealer is not going to do this. From a purely technical standpoint it is absolutely possible to do it - an independent retrofitter will be happy to charge you somewhere in the region of £1,100+ for it (it's an expensive part, and there is a reasonable amount of work involved in the job). But, as has been pointed out, it will almost certainly be used as an excuse by the dealer not to carry out any future warranty work. The 2.0 TSI is a lovely engine. Enjoy your car, you'll soon forget about the VC.

Yes, it's normal. It's a temperature sensor.

Sorry, can't help with your question, but just wanted to say that you can get Carista from Amazon with next day delivery (depending on where you live, I guess) for £25. Can the job wait until tomorrow, for the sake of doing it right?

Hi, could you tell us some more? It's not clear what you're asking.

I put 56G920790 in my car, it's fine.

This is the third thread that you have started on this same topic. D will not work. C will not work. You need 565920790, 565920790a, or 56G920790 I do not know what the difference is between the first two. The third one is China part number. Anything newer then these will not work. Please stop asking, it won't change!

No Kodiaq has ever been fitted with a dry clutch. I believe some versions of the Karoq did have the DQ200 dry clutch at some point, but not the Kodiaq.

Turn cruise control off.
