You can buy a complete get you home spare wheel kit from Skoda. Skoda Kamiq Spare Wheel Kit Link for info but you can order from any dealer

There was a pretty big update for all VAG cars in early June. I think different brands deployed it in different ways.

I agree, try a power only USB lead. Also note that USB port power is limited so check the current draw of your HUD. It may well be that the only way it will work is the way you have it set up.

Well, it's not a weeks work to take the box out that is for sure. Keep going with the challenge, the gearbox going into emergency mode without warning does not sound like some minor adjustment. Ask if there is a specific technical bulletin (TPI not TP1) covering this issue and ask to see it so that you can make sure they symptom you experience is the actual one the technical bulletin talks about. Most technical bulletins have a section which says "customer reports" ... Make sure this is the problem you have or the bulletin is irrelevant.

I think you'll need to get the SOS module fixed first sadly. It has command of the in car microphone for obvious reasons.

On most modern software there are assistive systems that can be disabled on a per journey basis. Most of these cannot be shut off permanently. If emergency braking activated when you feel it should not have than get the car checked by a competent garage.

I don't think this is true for the latest generation of cars. It is true for older vehicles. In the latest generation of cars / software the setting are in the protected area. Not even sure a VW group garage can get to them.

Lane assist will do exactly what was described. In reality it resists your lane change unless you are indicating. So in the case of joining from a slip road it will attempt to keep you on the slip road if you are not indicating.

I'm going to disagree with the VW bashing a bit. 7 years ago my Wife, driving a GTi, was momentarily distracted and missed a car slowing to execute a right turn. The cars collision avoidance worked exactly as it should. Again my wifes 5 year old Golf R has range adjustment on the ACC to avoid the severe speed up or slow down that can occur if you set the detection distance to the shortest. It makes for very smooth motorway driving. I always try to remember this stuff is all "assistance" it's not a substitute for driving properly. It's essential to get a calibration on all assistance system you are happy with or if you can't live with a particular system then turn it off. Yes, I know some default to on and you have to manually deactivate on each engine start but it takes seconds.

The traffic sign recognition tries it's best. In the UK it is hampered by very poor maintenance of road signs. It's a guide at best and always worth remembering that. If can be outsmarted by signs on the rear of trucks or by misaligned signs on side roads.

I would not let them fire the parts cannon while you are paying. Get a fixed price for a guaranteed fix.

I only have one as well but the one you have fitted should be brighter. Suspect an earth fault.

ACC is NOT standard on that model.

I keep my foot on the brake when reversing. My car doers not need any gas when backing out of the garage when cold. Reversing when warm seems more controlled. but still foot on the brake and not on the gas.

You are right to be concerned. Car needs a full diagnostic and read of all fault codes by somebody who fully understands what they are looking at. TBH a DSG specialist might be a better bet for diagnosis.

I'd contact Skoda directly. All of your reported issues should form part of the vehicle service history.

Currently with a new car purchase the app is "free" for 3 years after that you have to pay for some of the stuff. I think the free period is limited to the first owner.

Fading of the display on this age of car normally indicates a fault in the display. If the display fades and then brightens it might just be loose wiring.

Laura is only as good as the map data when it comes to navigation.

You may find that you need to visit a Skoda dealer. While it's possible to download Map updates from Skoda I do not think they offer Infotainment updates this way.

This totally depends on what you select using the chrome scroll wheel. If you have MIB 3 try selecting Overview in the menu options. Then select. I'm not sure if selecting fuel consumption as potions in the left and right hand gauges overrides what you see in the centre. For sure I have my centre display set to Overview and I see fuel consumption information there both instantaneous and since I refuelled plus miles since I refueled. For the two round dials I use classic view and have gear selected in one and digital speed in the other.

Personally, being a fairly low milage driver nowadays Then it's always all 4 as by the time they are worn they are also old. Generally speaking tyres should be replaced between 6 and 10 years old even if they are not worn to the legal limit of tread. We have a 4x4 in the garage and that always has all 4 done at the same time. As a minimum I'd do the pair on an axle unless they were very new when the puncture occurred. You can tell the age of the tyre by looking at the 4 digit code on the sidewall. It's just 4 numbers, the first 2 are week no, and the last 2 are year. (1226 - this would mean made in week 12 of 2026)

Well it looks like a good deal provided it's not "nearly new". If you would be the first owner and you'd have all the usual first owner protection then looks good. Skoda don't have a deal anywhere near as good in the UK on their web site.

So have you created an account in the My Skoda app? does this include setting up an S-Pin. Once you have done these things you should be able to enter the vehicle VIN into the app and then pair the app to the car. If the app is paired to the car the opening page of the app will tell you vehicle status. Both car and phone must be in mobile range for all the above to work. Again, something the dealer should have done for you at handover.

Was there not a blunt tool in the fitting kit?
