After 3 years of ownership it finally hit me how to hold the false floor in the boot up! The parcel shelf hooks have dual purpose - to latch the parcel shelf to the boot lid and also to hold the false floor. At last, I no longer need to hold it with my head so that my hands are free to pull out things 😅🙈

Usually this means that the camera and/or radar are blocked with dust, snow, ice. I get similar issues sometimes and even if I clean the debris I still have to restart the engine to stop the beeping after I clean them. On my older Octavia I had the same issue with the radar (no camera), but it would beep just once and if I clean it then in 5 minutes it will be functional again (no need to restart the engine).

The full led tail lights 🤤. How to retrofit??? 🤪

I must say that compared to Octavia my current Karoq can carry 2 sets of wheels thanks to the varioflex seats. In addition this summer I had to transport a desk 160x80cm and all I had to do is remove 2 of the rear seats and push the passenger seat forward and it fit nicely. I used to have Octavia estate and I did a lot of Ikea trips and my current Karoq is not much worse of space, just the times (Corona) and the number of children has changed 😂

You should be able to connect wirelessly since from 2021 Karoqs come with MIB 3 which has wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto support.

I have not decided on a specific make or model, but Bissell seems reasonably priced and with good reviews: 1. https://www.amazon.se/BISSELL-SpotClean-fläckrengörare-tygmöbler-36988/dp/B07GXS35PG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1VVU8Z0QYUDDK&dchild=1&keywords=bissell&qid=1633950596&sprefix=bissel%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-3 2. https://www.amazon.se/SpotClean-Professional-fläckrengörare-tygmöbler-1558N/dp/B075LJWKCY/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1VVU8Z0QYUDDK&dchild=1&keywords=bissell&qid=1633950596&sprefix=bissel%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-4 Rug Doctor is not sold directly in the Swedish Amazon from what I can see.

I have the varioflex seats so removing the seats was easy, then below the seats you have 5 plastic rivets that you can remove by hand (3 of them are screws, the other 2 you just pull out) and then you can pull out the carpeted plastic plate. Then you get the exposed metal and some wiring for the seats sensors. There are two pockets that have collected almost all of the liquid. It looked quite a lot harder to pull out the footwell carpet and I think there was very little to none spilled liquid there, so I am not sure how do you remove the carpet in there.

"What have you done to your Karoq today?" - I've spilled some coca cola (400ml) in the trunk and under the rear seats! Long story short, I've removed the rear seats and the carpet under them and cleaned off a lot of it, but I plan to get an extractor vacuum for Christmas and clean the carpet deeper. The seats and upholstery were not affected and most of the liquid was contained in the pockets under the carpet under the rear seats. It could have been worse 😅

I forgot to mention - in order for the travel assist to be able to resume the adaptive cruise control, first you need to turn it on by pulling the lever of the ACC towards you. (I can't edit the original comment any more 😦)

The left one lets you turn on/off assistance systems (e.g. lane assist, blind spot, etc), and the right one turns adaptive cruise control and lane assist at once, so it is useful if you are on the highway and you want to turn everything at once or if you are in a slow moving traffic (traffic jam assist). The right one is way more useful than the other buttons around it

I feel like my car (Karoq 1.5TSI, 2021) has the same sound when idling cold. It also sounds similar to when the "Eco" / ACT sign is on while driving. I think it's just the sound of the engine running on 2/3 cylinders instead of 4 I am quite sure that the sound is louder sometimes compare to other times, so it is not like every single time when I start the car I hear it (for some reason). I can't wait to get an EV. WLTP has ruined the ICE cars 😞 Meanwhile, turn the radio on or enjoy Spotify on your wireless Apple Carplay / Android Auto and don't let the pup-pup-pup sound annoy you.

I live in Sweden and I too can no longer find Braga wheel listed on the local Skoda parts retailer website. I suspect that they have new more aerodynamic wheels and they wont sale the originals to meet more strict emission regulations or some other BS excuse 😞

Many French manufacturers offer minivans or similar size versions of their cars, which have more space on the middle seat and usually even a pair of isofix points and a 7 seater version. E.g. Peugot 5008, Citroen C4 SpaceTourer. The only German cars with enough room for isofix points in the middle seat are of the rang of Audi Q7 or minivans like VW Sharan or Touran / Seat Alhambra. I think Renault Grand Scenic has a 7 seater version, so you can assume it is just designed to be a more spacious car and the middle seat is bigger. Skoda does not offer minivan-like models and the closes you can get to a large 7 seater is the Kodiaq, but even that model has no isofix pair in the middle seat, which makes it inferior to a proper minivan. I’ve fitted 2 kids and a mother in-law for 3 hours long trip on the back seats and there were no complaints. If you have large adults that will seat there for many hours and often, than the space might feel cramped 🤷‍♂️

I suspect you need to have "Amundsen" (not Bolero) to get the directions in the VC.

Enclosed LED fixtures would overheat and get damaged. They need to have some way to get ventilated, which is probably how the moisture gets in. https://lampslab.com/led-bulbs-ventilation/
