You are right, it could be just another VAG gremlin or it could be something like snow obscuring the sensors (I’ve had this). My point is that is is usually temporary and nothing to worry about.

I’ve had this, then it disappears the next time I’ve driven it. Another VAG gremlin.

You’ll love it. Put it this way, in over 30 years of driving everything from Audi to Peugeot to BMW etc this is the first time I’ve ever replaced a car with exactly the same model and spec. Love it.

Enjoy mate, great cars👍

As I’ve already mentioned above, the DSG 7 (dry) isn’t serviceable, your dealer is wrong.

It will be a DSG ‘dry box’ auto therefore requires no servicing. As for the engine/gearbox combination I’ve read several times on here that the DSG box is better suited to the 1.0 engine, so you should be good. I don’t know why it’s better suited to the 1.0 but I’ve definitely read it here from one or two members. As for the 1.0 engine, well I was frankly blown away when I was lent one from a dealer, it honestly doesn’t feel much behind the 1.5 in terms of performance, and it is very very refined.

Surprise surprise 🙄

In my experience Dealership salesmen have very little knowledge of the cars they sell. In this case he’s probably glanced over the specs of the facelift model and assumed that the car he sold you also has matrix lights. I could be wrong but just saying, pretty much every salesman I’ve dealt with over the years knew very little about the cars they sold me.

Now that looks miles better to be fair. In the original pic it looked baggy and a bit clumsy, but your adjustments have made it look pretty good👍

Mate it’s only my opinion, if you like it then it doesn’t matter what others think. I personally think that the standard cloth on the armrest looks fine, but again if you don’t like it then that’s cool. Mods to cars will always be subjective, and there i things I like that others don’t and that’s cool. If you like it then stuff everyone else (including me). As for it wearing, well I had my previous MC for over 2 years and it looked as good as new so honestly you don’t need to worry about that.

Whereas I much prefer the fabric, not cold on a winters day and not hot on a summers day. With due respect, that looks truly awful. Not only does it look baggy but the stitching doesn’t match with the seats.

I’m on my second Kamiq Monte Carlo (first a 21 plate, current a new 73 plate) and both came with Good Year Eagle F1’s. On my 21 plate I’d covered 17k and all tyres were good, with around 5mm tread left. As for the brake discs, I never had an issue on the 21 plate, and it’s far too early to tell on the 73 plate although I don’t anticipate any issues.

I’m now on my second Kamiq and they have both been the quietist cars I’ve ever owned in terms of rattles and squeaks. The build quality is second to none. Every car will produce the odd rattle, squeak or vibration, no matter whether it’s a Dacia or a Rolls Royce. Thousands of bolted on, screwed on, riveted on and moving engine parts on our crap roads will unfortunately result in the odd noise, it’s simple physics. Unless it is horrendous (in which case I’d insist the dealer deals with it) I would not go to the trouble of the previous poster, screw that.

Agree with most, especially the rubber car mats which I too have….but a screen protector for the infotainment screen? The ONLY reason I might use a screen protector is on my phone, because it’s used daily out and about and they protect from drops, bangs and scrapes…but for a car infotainment screen? Overkill.

I am 6’2 and well built (not fat- kind of similar to a typical rugby player) and my Kamiq MC is easily the most comfortable car I’ve ever had……if that helps.
