Hi, apologies for not updating this post since, life got in the way and all that! My mate did adjust the level of the stoppers by a full 2 'levels '! There is probably a technical term for these movements but I'll stick with 'levels ' lol!! Ok, so I started driving off, 1st thing I notice is that warning light in the dash comes on, indicating that the boot isn't closed properly!! Thought oh ffs, what have I done, well my techie mate tbf!? I then close the boot harder, and dash light goes off, PHEW..!! I then drove over usual patch of **** road, and yippee, rattle has completely gone!! So yes, for my particular issue, adjusting the boot stoppers has worked! I always have to ensure though that the boot is FULLY closed after opening, ie apply a bit more muscle than usual, but nothing too extreme mind..! I'm tempted to ask techie mate to adjust stoppers 1 level back, but not going to tempt fate!!

Each time, it only got to around 2.5k, but happened about 10 times in about 45 minutes, so each time the brake was on at a junction, or traffic lights etc, and then when I parked up on my drive at home.. Ps. I have digital cockpit, but I could feel/hear the car physically revving each time..

Apologies, it's a 1.5l petrol, and just concerning that it's only 3 months old..

Hi Folks, hope we're all enjoying the fine weather!? Probably something and nothing but today my 3 month old Karoq SE L had a mind of its own with revving! When I've stopped, brake kicks in, so stationary, or when I've engaged P, the car just started revving all by itself! Happened quite a few times today, so a tad worried.. Is this perhaps just one of the Karoq's little quirks?? 😳 Many thanks Andrew

Cheers, certainly another avenue to go down if adjusting the stoppers doesn't work! Hopefully my Skoda techy acquaintance can have a look over the Easter weekend! I'm determined to have the issue resolved, watch this space!!

Hi, yes, checked tyre pressures and all spot on actually! In an effort to 'soften' the ride, I reduced the pressure in all 4 tyres, although not entirely sure that was wise lol!? The whole process was in hindsight a bit rushed, not helped of course by covid! I'd pretty much decided even before the test-drives that I was going to buy new, but one already I stock! Well, it was one actually en route to the UK I believe.. It was only after said test-drives that I learnt the car would be coming with 19s, so was hoping upon hope that the ride quality would be similar to 18s!? My p/x Golf R was losing money fast, not to mention the service that was due, AND brakes replacing AND 2 new tyres within a couple of months, so time was of the essence so to speak.. Still have boot area rattle, but hoping my Skoda techie mate can resolve once we can start meeting up again..

Alas no lol, as in even attempting it yet I mean! After reading some of the comments about needing a couple of pairs of hands, I've decided to wait until the law permits and I can get my Skoda mechanic mate to give me a hand.. That said, even he has said it's a simple job to do, but I have this knack of unwittingly making things worse when I start trying to fix things with my hands lol!! To be fair, still only driven 310 miles since new on 5th January!! What really confuses me is that for the first few days at least, this rattle was non-existent!! Every time I've been out since, it rears it's ugly head! Yes, I've tried putting some tape on things, silly me, and perhaps I've misaligned something when doing so!? Hope upon hope that adjusting the boot stops eventually will work!!

Lol, cheers!! I'll walk away quietly...

Good evening All, probably something and nothing but does anyone know plse what that symbol in the pic means? I can only think it resembles 2 cogs of a wheel (1 smaller than other)! I've scoured tinterweb but nowt coming up.. As I said, probably nothing but thought I'd check with you wise folk first.. Cheers Andrew

Cheers, when you say move the mount by one tooth, will I know what you mean once I finally get round to doing it lol?? I'm assuming that as it's one tooth, it's easy to adjust both sides the same amount? Apologies for being hopeless at what is probably very straight forward for most people..

May I ask plse what size wheels came with the car, ie what you use (I'm assuming) most of the year?

Cheers, will do my best!! Coincidentally, spoke to Skoda technician earlier, a mate from my golf club, and he's advised when I do adjust that screw in the boot stops that I loosen it, and then actually pull OUT towards me, then re-tighten! I was under the impression that when I loosened said screw, I was actually moving the stopper vertically down so to speak!! Surely if I'm pulling it out towards me and then re-tighten, it will simply go back to exactly where it was lol??

Cheers! Will try and adjust sometime this week when I can pluck up the courage lol!! At least I know now (hopefully) how to potentially resolve it!! I'm working off the premise that I'll need to lengthen the boot stops..

Cheers, thank you! I'm assuming then that once the screw is loosened, you simply need to pull the rubber stopper down/up as required, and then pop the cover back on? Thanks again..

Cheers, yes, just spotted these, thank you! Clearly I was performing a bloke's search up until now lol!! As you say though, goodness knows how they can be adjusted, if at all!? Perhaps it just needs a bit of pressure with a screwdriver for instance to invoke a bit of movement!? I'll have a further look online, as surely these can be adjusted...!!
