If you look at the thread above, you will see that we don't know what petrol we are getting. I don't think we know whether there will be a price difference, and probably won't know until October.

I'm not sure that my post was clear. It is net relevant that 99 octane fuel is E5 or E 10. 99 octane will give better economy than 95 octane E5. 95 octane E5 may give better economy that 95 octane E10. If you try to compare 99octane E5 with 95 octane E10 and economy gets worse, is it due to the decrease in octane rating or the extra ethanol. You have changed two parameters and you don't know how much each parameter change has affected economy. Also, with the confusion at present, I'm not sure anyone actually knows what fuel they have in their tank. So speculation about economy is probably pointless.

The issue here may be that you should get better mpg with 99 octane than E5. If you are using E10 and the mileage drops you are comparing E10 with 99 octane, not E10 v E5. if this is what you are doing the results are practically meaningless.

Have you checked the bulbs, or the power to the bulb holders with a multimeter? That would have been my first check. Strangely bulbs sometimes fail at almost the same time.

Interestingly, I was told that my Karoq was build week 28 or 29, which places it in the middle of July.

I've encountered a similar issue on a different manufacturer's forum. Advice from the manufacturer is to only use Panasonic batteries. Don't know if it will make a difference, but no harm trying.

Hello all. We have surprised ourselves and ordered a new Skoda Karoq. After placing the order I have suddenly started to notice how many Skodas there are on the road. We wanted a replacement for our current 6 year old car, and I wanted to avoid diesel. We started looking at VW group cars. My wife wouldn't even contemplate and Audi, the local VW agent ignored us, the Seat Ateca didn't appeal so we finished up at Skoda. We looked at a Karoq. My wife was smitten with the removable seats on the SE-L, but we wanted the sunroof and power rear door. By the time you have added them we found that we may as well have an Edition, so we ordered one in Velvet Red with a few options. Ordered mid May, originally quoted 12-16 weeks delivery, but I'm not expecting it until mid October. I'm told the build week was week 29, if so it may be built or sitting awaiting chips. Plenty of questions to be asked later, I'm sure
