mistac

I have also just done this. Bought 100mm s hooks and craft magnets from the range. I found that the fitted bungee cords are so tight they cut into the front seat back/headrest when used. This way it is still tight but not quite so tight - even then I plan to use a cloth or similar to prevent marking/creasing between the s hook /bungee and front seat back/headrest

Don’t know that model? Are you uk based ? Is that a uk model ?

As you mention acc, I assume you have adaptive cruise? Can you add which model you have to your signature ( via profile) as this helps fellow forum users? I don’t have acc though so don’t know the answer!

that's fine, 4x4's don't need washing

Now looking all clean and shiny! my initial thoughts after a weeks ownership have always had red cars in recent years. Must say business grey does seems to clean up/dry nicely with a little sparkle/fleck to it so I think it will reasonably easy to keep it looking good? Black plastic rear bumper looks like it may scuff up with time (I suspect plastic side lower door panels won’t be so bad). - what are people using to clean/protect the plastic panels? Can’t remember the last time if at all I had a car with plastic bumpers? Is the front face of the 18” bragas diamond cut? If not, it is very similarly to that finish and seems a slightly different finish to the rest of the alloy? I think they look great but are quite fiddly to clean so have protected them with Collinite 845 wax nice to see when opening the doors that the sills are more or less spotless - I have still ordered door sill scuff plates from Ali express though 😀 I can just about reach the middle of the roof panel to clean it without a step ladder! Have also got to grips with the varioflex seats - have also done the s hooks and magnet mod to help tether the rears seats to the front headrest tubes when when folded forward

We have had years of practice so no issues! We have another parking area to use if need be as well

many thanks - will order one

I guess I am a bit picky . I am often told I am also a car salesman nightmare!

One of the very few things I dislike about the karoq is the windscreen mounted parking ticket holder! For me personally it seems a bit of a distraction and I catch it in the corner of my eyesight. Is there any way of either removing it or adjusting it so it’s higher or lower on the screen?

A few more questions. I have done a few tweaks using Carista as below 1. Passenger mirror fold on reverse (it now shows as ticked on infotainment menu) - unless I am doing something wrong, nothing happens when I select “l” on mirror switch though? 2. Fan speed in auto - works ok 3. beep on lock/unlock - works ok i now have mirror puddle lights and think I selected that on Carista but not sure if they were already standard/working? Is there a way to also have mirrors to only fold out on ignition rather than on unlocking car? fInally, checked oil level and when pushing dipstick back in, when it is seated it seems to be “loose” / does not click/lock in - is that normal? sorry for all the questions , but that’s me when getting a new car! I am now a freedom lite member so can edit posts, but there does not seem to be a delete facility? Is that normal ?

My new Skoda Karoq 1.5 DSG SEL 2021 in business grey - delighted with it so far

However I’ve just put another post on and doublechecked immediately afterwards and it still says report and share are the only menu options?

This might be a strange question. I thought I’d doublecheck the tyre pressures on my new car. I’ve got a Michelin Digital gauge foot pump with a screw thread. Never had an issues with it but the screw thread on the foot pump does not seem to seal/shut off the valve to read the pressure on the foot pump. Looks like the valve is a bit longer than I’ve had on other cars. Are there any adapters or any tips that I can use to use the Michelin foot pump or is it a case of finding another foot pump or 12 V inflator? cheers

When I hit the three dots, it just says report or share?

How do I edit/delete posts? Can’t see any way of doing this or is it because I haven’t posted enough to the forum yet?

Dirty already due to ****ty weather yesterday on collection. So far, really like it - pleasantly surprised 😀😀

As a prospective new owner tomorrow, I totally agree with you

Forgot to say, as it’s all been done at very short notice it does not have a spare wheel et cetera only an inflation Kit. Will be exploring options as to getting some sort of aftermarket kit spare wheel kit et cetera. Also was a little bit horrified to find that if I ever need replacement tires, they’re up to 50% more expensive than what my golf GTi tires were! I guess it’s because it’s an unusual size and supply and demand et cetera?

Folks. Unless there’s any last-minute hitches, due to pick up a new car 1.5 SEL DSG in business grey tomorrow. Son already has one and I was very impressed with it so have traded in my golf GTi as now at an age when I want a little bit more relaxed motoring and potential space for future plans et cetera. Will update and send pics once it arrives.
