Both my front ones on my karoq have come off in the last year. Passed the mot last week with no mention of them missing, and car was serviced at the same time and it wasn't mentioned during service either. Therfore o would say do not worry yourself about them being missing.

I run audi wheels for the summer with 235 50 18 tyres. Non standard wheels and tyres but my insurance don't care. The standard skoda alloys are 215 50 18 winters. Both give a much better ride than the crap bridgestones it came with. And it's a 1.6 2wd. Maybe swapping your 19s for 18s all season and informing your insurance could be a way to go.

It's a nice looking car, but I would walk away needing welding underneath and the prospect of more. Unless you were to buy it much cheaper without the mot and welding done and know a good welder who would do the welding to a good standard, not just a cover it patch and loads of underseal to hide it.

I'm late to this party too. I always change two at once. Always fit the new ones to the back and move the back to the front. I replace then at approx 2 mm. For the first time ever I have twosets of wheels with summer tyres and winter tyres for the Karoq. The winters are vredestein on the standard karoq wheels, have done 3 winters now, probably about 9000 miles and two showing slight wear and to still look new. The summer wheels have one Bridgestone, one budget and two Kormoran tyres on. They are what came with the wheels which are audi a4 wheels. I'm away to get 4 tyres for it before the mot in a few weeks. The fronts are 2mm and 4mm, the rears are 6mm and 7mm but are showing signs of perishing which I do not like. Probably would pass mot though. But as this car is a forever keeper it's getting a treat. I'm expecting to go for uniroyal rain expert, I've never had any problems with them in the past.

It's too shiny for primer lol. Right colour though. Maybe soda does do gloss primer😂😂

My Karoq. I didn't really like the colour when I bought it, but have came to love it. Incidentally what is the colours name. I know it's grey lol In the background is my project golf mk4 1.9arl gttdi. It's better for a thrash being manual than the auto Karoq.

I know about inclement weather up here. I'm a bit further up here than Skye. It's a beautiful island, I've been around it a few times. I run two sets of wheels and tyres, I have vredeisten winters on the standard Karoq alloys and kormoran SUV summer tyres on the other set. Kormoran are made by Michelin as far as I'm aware, and have been great on the karoq and previous yeti. They are 5 years old, done over 30k. Two are about done, two still have about 5mm just starting to perish.

What size tyres have you on them, and were they included in the price? I'm guessing not, but you never know!

I got a recore kit fitted by a local garage to my golf 1.9td about a year ago. It lasted 7 miles. Got it towed back to the garage where he refused to do it again and refused to reimburse me. I ended up buying a used turbo off Ebay and getting it fitted. Not had a problem in the 8500miles since. I wouldn't go down the recore route unless it was with a turbo rebuild specialist. Incidentally the garage that did the job originally is now defunct.

My Karoq was registered the very end of 2018. It is a 1.6tdi dsg SEL. Recently in the downpours that there has been I'm getting drops off water coming through the door seals. The seals themselves seem quite soft, I can pot my finger between door and frame along the top. Has anyone had this happen? I am debating in my head of some brute force bending the window frames in a little, or putting stick on draught excluders on them, or replacing the seals completely. The 3rd option is likely the best, the other two seem like bodges, especially the stick on draught excluder. Any advice, thoughts or fixes gratefully received. Davies.

I was lucky when I bought the Karoq. I sold my previous yetiformore than I had paid for it, I only had to find 6 grand to put along with it for the Karoq. I had 4 grand saved up which was going to be a new shower room and won 5 grand one raffle so bought theeKaroq with no loan. In the 2 and a half years since I've managed to get enough so my new shower room is now fitted too. The karoq has only cost me twice in the region of £250 for a service and mot and two tyres. If that continues for another three years or so I may be able to get a newer car then.

I get the higher rate on personal care on ADP, and the lowerrate of motability so I don't qualify for a car. Not that I would take it at the moment anyway. I can hardly walk to the end of the street and I live in number 3 so without measuring it would be about 20 meters max. I'm 62 and have been like this for 17 years. I would rather have my health back and be able to still be working and be providing for myself than having to put up with constant severe pain physically that nothing can be done about. My condition cost me my marriage and worse my selfrespect having to ask for help for everything. Yet I am lucky because I own my home,don't drink or smoke so I can afford to own my own car. Having done the sums often I am better having my karoq dsgwhich is 7 years old and absolutely perfect for me than spending a few grand to get a pos corsa or the likes that would not suit me. I would swap positions with anyone who has their health and happily pay my taxes, as I did before I became unfit. And I hate the word "benefits" to describe what I relieve. I paid national insurance and now am claiming off that insurance. Benefits to me insinuates that I'm a lazy git that never worked a day in my life and I've got everything for nothing.

My Karoq does that too. It's the most annoying thing ever.

Mine is a 1.9 pd so yours probably a newer engine if it's a 2.0

I have eventually got rid of all the Bridgestone my karoq arrived with. Two of them were over 5mm and one was 3mm. The 4th tyre was a brand new budget. The Bridgestones went to the skip they were that poor and the budget one is in the shed in case I need an emergency tyre replacement. I expect it will stay in the shed forever. I now run kormoran summer tyres on one set of wheels and vredestien winters on the other.
