I wish I had rang them for their advice, I went with the 17" wheel and the circumference is way smaller than my 17" wheels. I will definitely only be putting it on the rear.

I will look at this next time thanks, price considered.

Quick update, oil change completed. Easy enough job just the undertray a bit fiddly needing 4 different tools to remove. I went with Castrol EDGE 0W-20 LL IV Advanced Full Synthetic Engine Oil in the end. Thanks for all the replies and if your thinking of having a go at it yourself.....do it.

Thanks for the replies. I have just rang my local Skoda dealership and they recommended 0W-20 LL IV. I follow this guy on YouTube, he has some interesting things to say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfSZQ2EyGtk I will add that I change my engine oil every 5000miles and I do about 10000 miles per annum. Thanks, Mick.

Hi everyone, I am going to change the oil and filter. Model is a 1.5 SE DRIVE TSI S-A, can you recommend a good oil please.

Thanks for the reply Rbz5416. I agree about the full size spare however my way of thinking is I would like to be in a position where I could change the wheel and get off of a motorway or remote location for safety with family in the car to a tyre centre or even a hotel.

I did not know that, good to know thanks! Is there a specific reason for that? Mick. Thankyou.

Hi, everyone. This is my first car I have ever owned that does not have a spare wheel. I was wondering what other peoples thoughts are on this. I don't have a lot of confidence in the gel that is supplied with the car. I was thinking of buying one of these. https://www.thewheelshop.co.uk/vehicle-year-2017-present-day/diameter-3f-17/?product_cat=skoda-karoq&filter_vehicle-year=2017-present-day&searched=true Has anyone else used this company? I will be driving down to Northern Spain in August and would feel a bit more chilled with one of these in the boot. Regards, Mick.
