Owww a spare without a subwoofer… 😇 Mine runs on 18”s, firm but comfy. The 16”s are in the shed, being almost brandnew, and staying like that. On 16”s it feels wobbly in corners, much more prone to understeer.

Had octavia tdi 2006 driven that for 9 years, traded it for a yeti, which was fine, but not a roomy as the octavia (duh), I found the yeti very noisy. Traded the yeti for an 2019 Karoq; very pleased. More space, more comfort, and, very quiet. Obviously going from diesel to petrol makes a difference, but my octavia tdi was quiet as well. Over all after 9 months of ownership and 35.000 km I think it is a great car. On 18” and with no problems whatsoever.

A ltr should do the job. ASkoda is no different as any other car, so the bleeding sequence is as usual. You might want to use a reader to bleed the abs unit, although it can also be done by a good abs break on soft soil. Abs comes in.

Injector #1 is nowhere near 3&4. Understand that you’re stumped… I would be too. Sorry that I can’t help you any further.

That is serious leakin’! Mine did only a bit. If you have a leak this serious I wonder if the valve cover isn’t cracked?!

Mine (yeti)had the same. Replaced the injectorseals of #3 & 4, did not cure the leak. I just cleaned it once in a while. No worries. Btw, show me a 2008 Karoq😇 Did they use this problem engine in the karoq? They should have known better.

Mine has the Canton system. Came with the car ( I’m second owner-) happy with the system, can’t judge the normal sound system.

Yeah sucker you do! Found out today, after a good 7 months, that I do have DAB. Reception is excellent.

Should I have DAB? Really dunno, just use the radio as is, and it functions really well. ( mine’s a 2019)

Fitted a nextbase with rearview cam attached to the front view cam. I used the green route, but I removed the A-pillar trim ( very hard to remove, needs some persuading, not for the faintharted)) feeding of the cable behind the dash was not that easy (LHD). Used piggyback on rearwiper. Functions flawlessly.

Good engine, but, as it starts to get hilly, like in Belgium with long steep climbs, it lacks power, even when kept in right gear. But as I live in the Netherlands, and just drive through Belgium 2 times a year heading to France: excellent car/engine combi. It does what it says on the package. Don’t expect more.

The rear wiper is not constantly live, only with the contact on, engine off; is no power. looks to me the garage made some contact somewhere, as mine is piggybacked to the rear wiper as well (by myself) and has no issues whatsoever.

10k-km… barely run in. Give the engine a good chance to prove itself, however, contact your dealer ( you did). Preferably in writing ( proof), so they never can deny that you did complain about it. My (ex-) diesels always used a bit of oil, but there was no need to top between the 15kkm service intervals, both of these ran on 0W30 ( a 2.0 tdi pd and a 1.6 tdi cr) Currently running a 1.0 tsi and this also uses a bit of oil (0W20), but les than a liter in 20 kkm.

You need an obd appliance to put the rear brakes in service mode as you have an epb ( electronic parking brake ) as mentioned above. The front calipers are full traditional straightforward calipers of the push back type.

Sachs is oe.

Only change what is broken. Soft sprung on the front is not okay. It should be comfy firm. change in pairs!

mine, 2019 model, purchased in september ‘24, 85000 mls at the moment, 76 at start. 1.0tsi on 18” which give a good ride, far better than the 16” which resides in the shed now, still almost brand new.

Go for it. A Karoq is so much more car. (Yes me former was a Yeti)

I’ve purchased me Karoq 4 months ago, with 122k km on the clock, it is on 137 now, and the front shockers have been replaced recently by the seller under warranty. They fitted Monroes. a Karoq is by no means a weak sprung car, and is by no means a stiff sprung car, it is just allright. If you drive over a speed hump and you have to slow down to let say: 10-15 mph because otherwise you will be crashing over the hump, your shocks are gone. A karoq should have a firm but comfortable ride.

Can’t or may not? I can tell you that both fit the 1.6 tdi greenline, as I run wintertyres on the 15”, and summer tyres on the 17”. ( not bothered with stupid rules here in the Netherlands, that said, at least not with car tyres/wheels)

Warm after an hour….that has been hot! Well worth investigating. Keep us posted!

For example. But also check your wheel center after a drive; the should not be warm or hot.
