I’d bet it’s impossible to get significantly less fuel to produce significantly more power. I’d also bet that as the tuning box sits between all the sensors and the ecu that it can tell the ecu it’s using whatever amount of fuel it likes. Trip computer may say one thing, but brim to brim will be different.

Allspace and Terraco both really not to my taste. They are both available with the 245 4wd DSG at a far better price than the VRS though.

I couldn’t agree more. The interior was pretty bland back when it was first released and they’ve made no real improvements in 5 years. Ok, steering wheel and some stitching… That said though, I too have one on order, I appreciate its bland but it also does what I want it to very well.

Yes, sleep pack contained it.

I’ve been told Skoda have removed acoustic glass from all kodiaq orders due to shortages. No option to wait. Given the prices now it’s starting to look a more appealing to just buy a better car. A GLB AMG is about the same cost as a decent spec VRS now. Q5 265hp quattro or Mercedes GLC also if you don’t need 7 seats.

I haven’t looked for them, but if you are struggling you could use 3M paint protection film on it. It’s very cheap and tough, you can fit it yourself. If you get the clear stuff you also can’t see it, which I like. Search on eBay for 3M sill protector if it’s of interest.

In my old Kodiaq without the virtual cockpit it displayed the road name if you changed the central instrument display to nav whilst no route was set, I.e the compass would display with the street name above or below it.

Don’t worry, Skoda have righted their wrongs and it’s gone back to order accepted

Yes, paint may have been a bad example for that one! In the 15 years I’ve been driving Skodas, they’ve never been any better at scheduling production. Same problems, different reasons. 🙄 anyways, should anyone care. VRS, black, pano roof, usb-c, sleep pack, winter plus pack. Ordered mid October, given BW2 but not heard anything since…unsure which year BW2 belongs to…

My understanding of how it works is that they use “just in time” methods at the factory, meaning the parts are fitted to cars almost as soon as they arrive because no warehousing is available for the quantities they use. If a build requires some of the more difficult to get hold of components then it’s possible that they haven’t managed to find a week when all these line up. I.e week 3 they have a batch of pano roofs in so want to build cars with pano roof, but no DSG gearboxes of the correct type that week or even if they have both the (grey) paint line doesn’t have a slot left etc. I know it’s not great, but it’s the system almost all manufacturers work…BMW are removing spec from their cars ad hoc when they don’t have the parts. No touch screens being delivered in a lot of the models at the moment. There’s also a possibility that the dealer/Skoda UK has exceeded quotas or is holding back orders once they’ve met targets for the year/qtr/month etc. It’s rubbish waiting though!
