Yes, this is correct. In the vehicle sales info it will say that Skoda Connect service is free for first year.

Hi M5AIO, I also have a radio installation in my Karoq SEL, and can confirm that there is a good grommett behind the battery to go through the bulkhead. I run quite a bit of comms kit in my car, and have an auixilliary battery in the boot with smart charging. This obviouly saves loading the vehicle battery, but as the car (being EURO 6) has a BMS (battery management system), if you pull an unexpected load (e.g. high power tx) from the battery, then you may get a waring on the dash. Here are some images of my installation 😄 Cheers, John (G8SYD)

I have a set of 35mm lowering springs for Skoda Karoq, NU 2017 on... These are made by H&R and have TUV certification approval. I bought them as ex-demo, but they don't really show any signs of having been on a car? I had intended to get them fitted to my Karoq, but haven't got around to it, and am now used to the standard ride height. Looking for around £155 for the set. Collection from Hemel Hempstead, Herts. or SW London. Can send, but need to get the price.

Kust to conbfirm that these are SOLD - collected this morning by Mike. Once again, thanks to everyone for your interest. John.

Provisionally SOLD - will confirm when completed. Thanks everyone for your interest.

Now added photos. Laqueur is a little marked in places, but these are ultra-presentable for use as winter wheels. They are worth £400 and I have the receipt for the tyres from December 2021 and can give exact mileage that they have covered. And, I am included the protective covers for storage. 😃

I have for sale a set of 4 x Skoda Yeti Matterhorn Alloy Wheels, size 7.0J x 17", ET 45 complete with centre caps - these are a really nice style wheel, finished in black gloss/silver and are in good used condition. They are fitted with Nokian WR Snowproof P 215/55 R17 98V XL (Wi) which were bought new on 2nd December 2021 and have done no more than 3000 miles. I had these on my Karoq, but of course they will fit a range of other Skoda models. Only selling as I changed my normal 19" tyres to Michelin Cross Climate all season, as they they needed replacing. I am sure that the set is worth £400 and I will include the storage covers that they are currently in. I can send images of the wheels on request. I am based in HemelHempstead, Hertfordshire. PM (email removed) Thanks, John.

Thinkware has a great range of dash cams in different designs and with various functions, including the T700 with 4G connectivity. I much prefer a dashcam that has an adhesive pad fix to the screen, unlike Nextbase which uses a suction cup fixing. At the end of the day, it's what your preference is 🙂

Yes there is - put your foot hard down on the throttle and it will over-ride the limiter.

I got my Karoq 1.5 SE L TSi DSG at the beginning of October, and was concerned that there was a facelift on the way. But having seen this info, I'm not unhappy, as there is little change to the design or possibly even spec. My car has a lot of options on it, including virtual cockpit, electric driver seat with interior LED pack, winter pack (screen/steering wheel), paddles, 19" Crater wheels, Leather, heated rear seats, towbar prep & rough road package so not a lot wanting anyway 🙂

I have always used Travall guards (as a load guard, not dog!) and always found them excellent, in both fit and quality. I have bought one for my new Karoq, but haven't fitted it as yet. I like it that you can still use the load cover and put the seats down with the guard in place.

View Advert Octavia Combi VRs Tailgate Spoiler I bought this spoiler to fit on my 2018 Mk3 Octavia Combi and basically never got round to having it painted and fitted! I am just about to take delivery of a new Karoq, so this spoiler is no logner required. It is supplied in bare plastic, so will need prime and paint. It came from Super Skoda (now Kopacek) when it was easy to buy from them!!

Update: My Karoq arrived at the dealer this week (Tuesday 28th) and is being delivered to me next Friday. So all in, not too bad a time from order to delivery, eben accounting for delays caused by component shortages. Talking to the sales guy, there are loads of delays in build of all new Skodas now 🤨

I ordered, (through Drive the Deal), a Karoq SE L 1.5TSi DSG with a lot of options (including Virtual Cockpit) around 5th June. Had a message on Monday 6th September from the supplying dealer that the car is built and has left the factory.

If anyone wants a dog/load guard for a Karoq, I found this online shop which has the genuine Skoda item, part ref ZGB57A017221 listed at £69.99, although when you purchase, it comes out at £71.99 but does includes delivery cost. https://www.pminhafe.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=710671 I have ordered one for the new Karoq that I am in the process of buying (via Drive the Deal) , as it is signicantly cheaper than the Skoda price of £145. It would appear to be a Travall unit, which I rate very highly and have used these for many years in my Octavia estates.

Thanks very much Kenai - I didn't find this thread on a search of the Mk3 Forums. Noted the minor difference and also that the other lamps are still filament bulbs - bit dissapointing really, but there we are. Cheers, John.

This may seem a strange question to ask, after a year's ownership of my Octavia Estate! When I placed the order I selected option 8SP LED Rear Lights (High) as I had overlooked that the car already has LED rear lights. The question is, can anyone tell me what I actually got for this £130 option? - I haven't managed to find any info on it. Thanks in advance. John.

I used DtD to buy my Octavia which is now just over a year old. Excellent price, about £3k discount, plusat the time £3k contribution from Skoda, gave a net price of just under £20k (including extras) with free driven delivery from Simpsons Skoda in Gt Yarmouth. oh, and first 2 services included. Definitely recommend DtD - efficient & courteous service from initial enquiry to completion.

The AM/FM & DAB antennas are in the glass and not in the Sharkfin antenna - on a SE L with standard Amundsen unit, the Sharkfin only has a GPS antenna inside.

My fourth Octavia Estate, bought new at end of June 2018. 1.5 SE L DSG - very impressed with the petrol engine; always had diesels before :-)

Hi Yme - thanks for the quick reply. The design of the mirror has obviously been changed then. Cheers, John.

My new Octavia Estate SE L 1.5DSG was delivered today from Simpsons Skoda, Great Yarmouth. As I have been busy working, only got a chance to have a good look at it and do sdome configuring this evening. As it is SE L spec, it should have an autodimming interior rear view mirror, but the mirror fitted doesn't appear to be anything special. My 2014 Octavia Elegance had an autodimming mirror that was more substantial and had a green LED with a switch to enable/disable. Has the type of mirror changed in the later versions or has my car been fitted with a standard unit? Any suggestions, greatfully received. Cheers, John.

No Sorry.

NOW SOLD As my 2014 Octavia Estate is going back to the lease company at the end of this month, I have a Travall load guard for sale. This has been in the car since end July 2014 just as a security guard - it's never seen a dog! and is unmarked.

This is the link to the product on Travall website. https://www.travall.co.uk/skoda/octavia-estate-2013-/travall-dog-guard-tdg1404 New price from Travall is £110.00 - so asking £55.00 or can send for £60.00.
