FortyXRoq

Had my 1.5dsg petrol Karoq from new and its just past 10k after having it a year. Long term MPG shows 43.5mpg which is acceptable I think for a petrol SUV. Sometimes see 50mpg on a trip if I drive like my Dad...

As far as i know the emergency call system relies on the inbuilt SIM card in the car. Up here in Scotland there are some blackspots (especially in the Highlands) where mobile signal drops out completely so my guess is that you entered the twilight zone temporarily. I assume it came back on green at some point later?

Agreed KennyR but this is rather a jab on and off again instantly. Not the same as a jab for power which you continue to hold.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but it concerns coasting while in Normal (D) mode on the 2021 SE L DSG ACT 1.5. I remember a question around whether other owners had noticed this happening in D or only in Economy mode and I had certainly noticed it but it seemed random (unlike in E when it disengages and coasts as soon as you lift your foot off the gas). Anyway, to cut to the chase I have (accidentally) found a way to make it go into coasting (if that's something you want to do) in D - whilst rolling along in gear as normal lift your foot off the gas and then give the accelerator a quick light jab with your foot. That seems to force it into coasting and the console shows D (rather than D6 or D7 or whatever) and "Eco" also shows in the display. I quite like coasting when it's safe and appropriate to do so as it helps with the MPG, take it or leave it I guess. Anyone else noticed this? Cheers, Ed

Found it. In settings there are options for switching stations, either "station list" or "preset list". Then the left and right thumb buttons on the left had controls on the steering wheel flip between your presets. Easy when you know how 😜. Thanks!

Cheers Chris, will have a look and report back 😎

So, 1st world problem I know but... I can't find a way to scroll through my DAB presets from the steering wheel controls. When on the presets screen and using the wee thumbscroll it scrolls through ALL the available DAB stations rather than just my R6, Kerrang, Planet Rock, 5 Live, RScotland etc etc. I was used to this on the Leon, it just worked but not so on the Karoq. Anybody found a way round this? I don't like having to take my eyes off the road to switch channels on the touchscreen.

Yeah it's the SEL with Varioflex, pic shows liner in the boot.

I got this one https://www.bootsliners.co.uk/SKODA-KAROQ-BOOT-LINER.html. Fits perfectly and is good quality, does the job.

Can someone elaborate on the s hook magnet mod please if it relates to securing the rear seats when they are flipped down and forward? I can just about hook the side seats to the front headrests but there is no danger I can hook the middle one, there's just not enough length!

Late to the party but yeah mine coasts in normal mode under certain conditions too, MY21 SEL 1.5. I don't mind it at all and managed 52mpg on the trip from Glencarse to Dundee earlier in the week, first time it's hit 50+ since new last month 😀

That's a shame ianbenny, there's a lot of adjustments you could make that should get you comfortable so hopefully you will get there soon. I've done 900 miles in my first month which included a 300 mile road trip in week one which allowed me to find a good driving position eventually. I guess it all depends on your height and build, I'm 6ft and lanky with fairly long chimpy arms but I do need the armrest raised to its highest position and can rest my other arm on the door handle bit.

Aye, I wondered! I could coax up to 70 out of my TDi Leon when the DPF wasn't trying to regen 😜

How, in the name of the wee man, are you managing to get 66mpg in a Karoq? I like to think I drive economically but in the 3 weeks and 750 miles I've covered since getting my MY21 1.5tsi SEL DSG I am only getting around 41 at best!

I also got a set of Skoda branded valve caps, pretty cool actually.
