Have you tried a reset?

@oldstan If any help my wife's Karoq has run perfectly in the 4 years we've had it and my new Kamiq has been perfect in the 4 months I've had it. These forums and similar generally just show the few issues folks are having, not the many who are quite happy with their cars

As I understand from previous comments here the DADA engine doesn't require a cambelt change until well over 100000 miles

It is instant. I've tried it in manual mode and there is no difference. You say it's the same effect so not fully following your argument.

Advice now is to use brakes to slow and gears to go, but unfortunately far too many don't look far enough ahead and consequently do far too much hard braking then wonder why their pads wear so quickly.

Agreed. Sport mode then kickdown is more than sufficient.

Our 4 year old Karoq with 33000 miles on the clock is still on original disks and pads both front and year.

@Sanqhar Using kickdown achieves the same effect, no need to touch the paddles for an overtake

Very true. I test drove the 1.5 and it had more than enough for me, even though it was around 40bhp less than my previous car.

He has the 2 litre and suggested 1.5 wouldn't be good enough. In the smaller Karoq the 1.5 is fine.

You do realise this is the Karoq forum?

Perhaps better in the car then

I use E10 whenever I can get it, no real difference, all modern engines are designed to run on E10

My wife has that engine in the Karoq. The same in my Kamiq with the DSG box is a completely different beast, particularly if you use the manual mode, loads of poke

Thankfully my manual blind spot check is 100% accurate. I'd never rely on some gizmo so wouldn't be an issue!

Our Karoq came with a full size spare, boot is so huge it really isn't an issue and we find the compartments in the raised floor very useful.

Well having picked body parts off the road numerous times in the past thanks to someone's idiotic behaviour you'll have to forgive me for pointing out your error.

Brake checking is not only dangerous but illegal, you're lucky you haven't (yet) been rear ended or caused an accident and faced charges, which could be as high as causing death by dangerous driving. Only an idiot brake checks someone.

Got my Kamiq in December and had to turn it on. Available in Settings in mine. Same in my wife's Karoq

I corner by turning the steering wheel, I assume you still have that?

Easy enough to touch a button on the steering wheel and nudge the display to something different. Others have reported front assist going off for no apparent reason, reducing the sensitivity in Settings generally resolves it.

Might be better posting in the Octavia forum

If you have a full sized spare you need the riser kit

Sometimes only confusing if you ask via forums rather than read the information from Skoda

Don't have an issue in our 2018 Karoq
