Hi I had an aftermarket bar fitted to my 70 plate edition 1.5 model, removable swan neck = I don't tow but carry a number of heavy bikes on a rack with zero issues.

Last week - Weston-super-Mare to Liverpool - 48.5 mpg and yesterday - Liverpool to Weston-super-Mare - - 231 miles - 49.1 mpg - 1.5 TSI - used CC a lot set at 73 / 74 - due to having just attended a speed awareness course 🙂 These are the best figures that I have achieved with the car since I bought it

If only I could start the car - I'm waiting on AA to arrive so that they can give it a kick and then I'll try what you say

Hi - thanks for the reply - just using a digital multimeter on the battery terminals. I'll speak to Skoda on Monday. I already had it booked in for a couple of other glitches - intermittendly not being able to turn on cruise control being one of them. I've had more issues with 14 months of ownership of this Skoda than 20 years of Audi before it. Frustrating.

Good morning - this is a really interesting thread to me. I went out to the car on Thursday morning and click - nothing - dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and then warning message after warning message saying that all the systems were unavailable. Message appeared - battery low please recharge or take a drive. So I had to call the AA through Skoda (great service by the way) and he turned up and my battery was reading 11.3. It had been static for a few days but last week I did a number of 30 mile trips although interestingly I noticed that stop / start was reducing the number of times it kicked in. Also, as a result of a speeding ticket / bad boy driving course, I have been driving far more 'economically' than before. Saying that, Mr AA said driving style made little difference. Anyway, a quick jolt from his starting pack and off it went. The car is only 14 months old and just over 6k miles so I'm thinking I may have a dodgy battery. I'm keeping an eye on the charge is 11.3 and sure enough, trying to start the motor na-dah, nothing.

Like BoxerBoy I have experienced it a number of times but it always involves the vehicle in front turning right using a filter lane. The system seems to think I'm about to hit the car that 'was' in front as I go up the inside of them. The only other time I have had it triggered, I was driving down a narrow country lane and there was a large bush / tree over hanging someone's garden wall. That triggered the warning also. It goes as quickly as it appears.

Congratulations - I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine.

Hi all I received notification of a new infotainment app called traffication. Anyone had any experience of it? Seems to be limited to Columbus head units at this time and coming to other units later this year. I'm Just installing it so I'll see what the difference is https://www.skoda.co.uk/news/details/new-skoda-traffication-infotainment-app Jon

I've just been out to my car for the first time in about a week and thought I would check versions of software etc. and I noticed that my navigation database has been updated to 21.1 - haven't done anything apart from taking it for a run last weekend for about an hour.

I have a late 2020 Edition and I have the bright Skoda on the ground and also more gentle lights under the wing mirrors - Only noticed those recently.

Just checked my 2020 Edition and I don't have the little LED down lights. Feel like I'm missing out :-(

I'm happy, very happy with my Karoq and I do have SatNag and a sunroof

I bought my car unseen and I had never driven one, nor had I ever driven a Skoda in any guise. I laughed at adverts on TV saying buy a used car and we will deliver it to your door etc. I thought who would be daft enough to do that? buy a car without a test drive. Errrr me so it seems. My dealer - Fish Brothers in Swindon did a 1hr video around the car, showing the details, how various things operated and when I went and picked it up I gave it the once over. It was officially deemed a 'used car' but it had 90 odd miles on the clock so practically new. Do I regret my purchase? not one bit - I love the car - its nice to drive - not very economical but I'm not doing that many miles. Would I buy it again? without doubt. Any issues? Only the poor sat nav / infotainment. Using CarPlay to get around that.

I hope you get it sorted - so annoying but I agree with Scot5 in getting it done professionally, especially when the car is so young. I'm seething tonight as I kerbed my nearside front wheel this morning. Only have 900 miles on the clock. Grrrr Jon

I was thinking the same...

My car was built in August 2020 and the Apple CarPlay is indeed wireless. 2 USB-C sockets in the centre console.

Thanks for the update Chris. That really is pretty poor all round isn't it, especially the web radio aspect. Disappointed doesn't come close. Jon

Might be an idea to raise it with Which as well. Surely, given enough noise, they should take note.

@DSL - Thats a beautiful part of the country you live in

Thanks Chris - I'll send a mail to that address also.

Absolutely agree with you. Seems to be a backward step in many cases. It really bugs me that the manuals supplied - both in hard copy and online are out of date and don't relate to the actual device in my car. Very poor.

I have a Columbus, so similar, but I have not been able to update the maps via the USB-C port. Nothing recognised by the unit.

I too have downloaded the 25gb update, expanded it all to a USB-C drive, plugged it into my MIB3 Columbus and .... nothing. Setttings->Information->Update doesn't show anything available. I did have an over the air update on Wednesday for the online store but nothing else. Really not impressed with these issues and its sort of souring my first Skoda experience. Hi there. Did you mail a particular address at Skoda UK?

Yep, thanks for this but I'm not seeing this whatsoever - I'm have a Columbus unit. I'm starting to panic - lots of people on here talking about screen x or screen y and I don't seem to have any of them. I'll continue to investigate.

Thanks all - I have checked that I have Manoeuvre Braking activated. I'm just at a bit of a loss at what it actually does, when does it invoke and is my system faulty - questions, questions questions. If only the manual was better :-) I'll keep the thread updated with what the dealer says.
