It wouldn’t worry me.

I used to use the stick change method on prev cars (Disco 3s & 4) quite a bit but have never found myself needing to do so with the DSG box. Even with overtaking I find it responsive enough to get to the right gear when I need it. To paraphrase Rouge One, I am in tune with the DSG and the DSG is in tune with me!

At least we sorted the auto wipe, not a lot we can do for the torch or the flappy paddles. Got both (MY20 SE) but never used the torch and only played with the paddles a couple of times, never used in anger. Not that that helps much.

What’s on the left side of the stalk graphics?

Right side shows the wash function, wipe is left side. I read the INT as variable intermittent and that goes to full time wiping and fast as the car decides, pretty much auto.

Re auto wipers, not up one notch then controlled with the twiddle wheel on top of the stalk?

Now that’s deffo worth a try, many thanks.

Right, 555 miles long hauling with no adjusting, seat went from: to: Deffo needs sorted but will wait until the 1st service in December. SWMBO did wonder why I’d started driving with the seat so reclined, as pointed out above it’s so gradual I didn’t notice.

..... switch off your VPN. This was the first issue I had with CarPlay on the Karoq, it just wouldn’t connect no matter what I did. Rebooted the phone, change the cable, checked whatever settings I could check, until I noticed that the VPN on my iPhone was trying to connect. Switched the VPN off and CarPlay worked instantly.

Just done near enough 600 miles and the data used was the princely total of 6mb. @Kenny R do you have an iPhone and can look in settings and see if the app is eating data?

My ConnectLTE app has only used 52 meg since started using it, prob a couple of hundred miles and about a dozen journeys. I’ve got a 1,500 mile trip planned next week, will see how much it uses on that.

Take a vid clip with it making the sound, for the sound rather than the pics, post it on YouTube then post the link.

SE’s the discerning choice. Just enough creature comforts but no hassle items like leaking sunroofs and inbuilt satnag. Just sayin.

Now that is good thinking.

Luckily there are 2 cup holders for two cups of coffee at any one time. And doubly lucky SWMBO doesn’t do coffee and thinks tea out of a steel cut tastes mingie. No pics of it but I did buy a cheep steel car cup in Woolies when in your part of the world for 3 months early 2020. Worked a treat and if anything kept the coffee too hot, but not bad for A$9.99! Might fit. Shame it got binned for return trip as hand baggage only.

The Nespresso car cup I use is 63mm across the base, fits like the holder was built around the cup.

A pic might help.

Also a new model iphone SE.

Next time out in the car I’ll have a look and see if this happens with cars that don’t have the keyless malarkie.

Oi, less of the spoilers please!!!

Remember a few years ago when Arran got hit really badly in spring? ISTR it was several feet of snow on roads between hedges. Started to snow heavily here again, I might well get to see how the 4x4 side of my Karoq behaves without the magic glue that is on winter tyres! PS And re lambs, hope the little new born lambs I was running past yesterday are OK, this will be a shock to their system!!

It’s all my fault! Just N of us. PS Just looks out the window and it’s snowing here!

There is a very good plus side to all seasons vs a set of pure winters plus a set of summers, you don’t change them over too early like I’ve done! For both cars! We are slightly up and slightly left of the red dot in the cross.

Auto lights and wipers are std on SEs, at least they are on my MY2020 SE. It doesn’t have SatNav but nav via CarPlay works a treat, plus no leaking sunroof. The discerning choice, but I would say that!

Before I bought mine (2.0 TDi 4x4 DSG) the Skoda configurator showed mid 30s mpg ISTR, I’m presently averaging 52mpg (real world). Glad I ignored those numbers.
