My new Karoq 1.5 TSI does not have an engine cover. The pictures of the engine I have seen show it with a plastic engine cover. I assumed that the cover was not just decorative but helped reduce engine noise. However when I asked the Skoda service manager about it yesterday, he said I was the second person to ask that day and confirmed that the new cars they are getting in do not have an engine cover. The engine is very quiet so perhaps it was just for decoration.

I called in to the Skoda dealer today. They have ordered a new umbrella for me to fit my Karoq. Well done Thomson and Potter.

Thank you for your detailed reply. I had already cut off the tag with the part number. I suspect you are correct and it is the Kodiak one. When I tried it in the glovebox it was a neat fit at the back so I will just leave it there. David

My new Karoq came with the Skoda umbrella in the door pocket. I thought I would put it in the holder on the front edge of the passenger seat. It doesn't fit! It is about an inch too long. Have I got the umbrella for a different model or am I missing something?
