My Mk2 is now 13 months old with 14k miles. In the last month this has started to happen to mine, thought i'd left something in the glove box or door pocket then thought it may be the seat itself. Very annoying part of a car I've loved driving.

Thought they were Hamilton. I'll give them a call nearer the time. Glad you rate them. You see more AC signs and showrooms than anyone else, or they hide their name like on the BMW garages. Christ knows how they got BMW back after all that fraud back in the day, mileage tampering... Used to own Seat's and was glad I found Livingston's in Uddingston. Prefer independant garages, better service. 🤌

There based in Hamilton? I'm Renfrewshire and the thought of hitting the M8 traffic works is a big turn off. As this was recall i thought it wouldn't matter (tell that to my poor door). But I'll use Henry's for it's first service. Cheers!

I dropped mine of last Monday at Skoda, collected my courtasy car and my car was ready by close of business on the Tuesday (next day). Unfortunately Arnold Shark have a monopoly on Scotland and had to use them resulting in me finding a wee chip on my passanger door.

Morning All, 2025 March registered Kodiaq Sportline PHEV 5 Seat. Just back from a family vacation where I put the Kodiaq PHEV to the test. 2nd July Trip from Glasgow to Newhaven Port England. 2 adults and 3 kids (12, 6 and 3 year old) Roof box filled with clothes at shoes (480l) and the boot filled with all we need for 3 weeks at 2x Eurocamp sites. (4 litre airfryer included for my kids who only eat yellow food) 1/2 tank of fuel + 2x stops to 50kW DC charge. (1st stop Tebay farm shop, 2nd stop M40 South Services) Got to Newhaven and topped up the tank at the local Sainsburys, no local DC fast charges, seems like a loss of revenue for them. Overnight ferry to Dieppe, drove to nearest Total Energies station and fast charged, then on to Eurocamp, east of Paris (Le Chene Gris). Drove in and out of Paris 3 times (Disney). Filled tank before leaving the next day, no local fast charger. Left Paris and headed towards the Vendee for our site at Chateau La Foret, stopped once to fast charge. Only drove small amount at the 2nd site to the local Super U. Filled car and fast charged for journey home. Filled once more in South England and charged twice more on route back to glasgow. Total Distance. 1932 miles Avg Fuel Consumption. 53.7 mpg Avg Energy Consumption. 13.1 m/kWh Space. Comfortable for 5 with all the kids needs in the back seats while still giving us adults plenty of space upfront, I didn't change my driving position, wife stretch out with chair slightly reclined. 5/5 Stars. Purchased the sport seat media holders, expensive for what they are but thankful i bought them, well used. For my last two holidays we have used a VW T6 SWB Transporter Kombi, I was a little worried about fitting it all in the Kodiaq, we did cut back on extras, however not by much and with the added roof box we had no issues. Instead of suitcases we used clear packing cudes, 6 fitted in the box (5 clothes, 1 linnen with towels and trainers in the gaps). We used 2 plastic boxes, 1 for food the other for cleaning products, my wee boy took his balance bike (front wheel removed) and my middle took her foldable skooter, everything was packed around these (including the airfryer) As much as I love french wine, i also love bourbon, so packed 2x 2ltr bottles of Jim Bean and in the "lower boot" under the flap I filled this with pepsi max (48 cans), wife loves gin so remainder space was filled with tonic, kids colouring books and the required 5x hi-vis vests. We also managed on the route home to bring back 57 bottles of wine. All packed so i could still see out of the rear of the car. This is a company car, I chose this (and the tax burden) over another kombi as I missed driving cars. I've got it for 2 years handing it back March 2027 before the tax burden near doubles for PHEV's on my P11D. This car never missed a beat, 1.5l engine is ore than capable, keep it hybrid and charged and it'll run supper efficient, yes it's noisey when pushed hard, but why push it hard, it isn't a SQ5. ACC all the way to France and back, no issues. Used inbuit sat nav over google maps. Happy to answer any questions people may have as I've probably missed something important. Also French charge 0.59 euro per kWh, the English charge 0.89 pounds per kWh. 50kW charge to around 80% then drops down to around 10kW for final 20%. average charge time 45min to full. Salut, David.

I'd cry BS on that statemeent made by any VW fanboy.. VW drivers (and I have been one a few times) will always think their brand is more "premium" than the Skoda. The interior on my Sportline is far supierior to that of my previous Tiguan R-Line, everything feels great and the seats are highly ajustable and very supportive. Looking at the SEL trim levels these are also top notch, with i could've spec'd the tan/brown leather in mine.

To begin with you could try turning off interior monitoring. Then you'll know which area is the problem. Seems like a good place to start.

Thanks for the visual, the mottled (black dotted) area on the MK2 is a lot smaller than on your MK1.5. I've seen a few other ask this question over a number of forums after looking in to it, think it's a stuck it and see.

Hi All, Solo travelling to France soon and while I love the French toll roads the thought of getting out in a panic to pay or stretching over the passanger seat is something I don't want to do. I've just puirchased an Emovis Tag for easy toll usage. Simple, or so i thought. The insturctions say to pop it on the "mottled" area next to the rear view mirror however this is a rather busy area with little to no mottled area avaiable. The instructions then say if this is is case to pop it on the clear glass as close to the mirror as possible, fine, but then warns if you have an athermic/metallic coated windscreen it'll interfere. So the question is, do MK2's have an athermic/metallic coated windscreen? My last few Fords had amazing deforst windows, but don't think that's the case with Skoda/VW. The only additional packs on my MK2 are the winterpackage and light & view plus package. Thanks, David.

I looked at the Tayron too before choosing the Kodiaq. The Tayron's interior falls short of the Kodiaq and the styling i found to be too corporate/bland . The extra's that come standatd in my SportLine are expensive in the similar styled R-Line.

I collected my Sportline iV on 7th April, I've covered near 1000 miles in this time. I can say without a doubt This is one of the most refined PHEV's i've driven/owned. I've had no issues (touch wood) so far. With mine being a March 2025 registration i gather most bugs have been dealt with. My only gripe with this car is that it can feel underpowered, howeve this is only when trying to get away fast from junctions and it could be down to the DSG rather than the engine. I drive all my short journey's in EV mode and charge dauily at my work FOC and on long hybrid journeys I'm seeing circa 70-80mpg. Hope this helps aliviate any worries you have.

Did you get a better delivery? I ordered my Sportline PHEV end of January, confirmed today to be in UK port, hoping for delivery early April. (I think, if anyone knows different let me know).

Just arrived from the Ford Owners Club where i owned and ran a Kuga PHEV for a few years. While mine wasn't effected my colleagues was and looking into it the early Kuga PHEVs all had 12v battery drain issues, if you left charing too long it would drain the 12V etc. Ford started software updates etc, not saure it ever cleared things up. This may be an issue with all PHEVs. ??

Hi All, Just joined today after ordering a new Kodiaq Sportline PHEV. Delivery is due April which fits nicely into the new finacial year given that this is a company car. I'll enjoy the 11% BIK for a few years on this PHEV before diving into a full EV. Ordered in Graphite Grey, with the added winter and light packages, it's cold and dark here in Scotland so want to be warn and see the road safely. Looking forward to snooping about, seeing what people like and don't like about their cars and what hidden features there are. All the best, David.
