I use my rear fogs when needed, gives you more light as you reverse.

If it won't open you're doing it wrong, or you have a different key style.

@Cqrmine if you read the handbook most of your queries are explained there. Page 23.

Shouldn't need your CTEK. Our Karoq was left for nearly 2 months on our driveway as we were away on an extended holiday. Started fine on our return.

As posted I have both, Kamiq now 4 years old and Karoq 6 months old having replaced our nearly 9 year old Karoq in March. Both our current ones are 1.5 DSG. Kamiq being lighter is more nimble and quicker under acceleration, Karoq ride is slightly better and has more space overall, with more space inside the cabin although the Kamiq can comfortably cope with 4 adults and we happily take our Kamiq to France as mpg is much better.

My 1.5 DSG bought new in March seems fine both on the flat and going uphill. It acts the same as my Kamiq 1.5 DSG that I've had for 4 years. Only thing I do find with both is that on hills with bends and varying grades it can change too frequently so I tend to use sport mode which evens that out.

Tap the bottom left hand button under the scroll wheel on right of steering wheel, then use scroll wheel to switch display to mpg.

If you've used the paddles you're in sport mode ...

Ours displays in normal mode, that's a 1.5 DSG. Don't set it to any other mode except sport by tapping lever backwards.

We replaced our 8 year old Karoq with a new one in March this year. We also have a 4 year old Kamiq, both are 1.5 DSG. I don't recognise any of the problems raised by the OP. Gear changes are as smooth as silk, we have no problems with the infotainment system. I was anti ACC at first compared with the standard CC, and still wish I could switch between the two. I don't like the way ACC works on multi lane carriageways but it's ideal when following traffic on single lane roads, unlike CC. Overall though all our Skodas have been bombproof, only needing normal servicing.

Problem is folks mention when they have issues, not when they don't. Our first Karoq, which we traded in for another new one in March, was bombproof for the 8 years plus we had it. We've had no issues with our new one, or with our nearly 4 year old Kamiq. Having said that the infotainment system does take a bit of perseverance to set up correctly, with numerous options. Our salesman for our new Karoq told us one option wasn't included on our car, but I found it was switched off in the menu system, just needed switching on!

Our 1.5 TSI never cut out, bought new in 2018 and sold earlier this year after 8 years of trouble free motoring. Now replaced with another one, DSG this time.

Same as mine, checked yesterday.

Me too!

If you mean the infotainment screen then yes.

There's a switch on ours down by the gear lever, which switches it off. Have you inadvertently pressed it?

Works reliably on mine. The key is to make a smooth slow movement then step back ...

There's a setting via the infotainment system which needs to be switched to on. Our car came with it switched off and our salesman told us we didn't have it! Had I not discovered the setting we'd have assumed it wasn't there.

Can happen at any time if wipers are set to automatic, mine occasionally used to wipe when not raining. Setting in infotainment system, I turned the automatic setting off.

Yes, see https://www.skoda.co.uk/owners/over-the-air-update-restrictions

Just a coincidence. I get similar mpg on supermarket fuel.

Interestingly I too dislike the way ACC works and have asked in the past if normal CC could be selected and was told no. I'd be delighted if it was possible on my Karoq purchased new in March this year.

Agreed, a power only rather than a data cable. Not a usb c issue.

Useless idea anyway, all these gimmicks just cause more errors. Try turning it off in Settings, if you do you may not get the warning.

How? I've no wish to mess about with coding.
