RE my last post. On thinking about it the last statement. "At least with the lock/touch method even if the thief has captured the 'signal' once the 10 seconds are up they can't use it." boils down to an assumption on my part. Not sure how you would test it however. tom

I have only just got back to this. Regarding the three reasons above: (a) you have to remember to do it. You also have to remember to carry the Faraday bag/tin box. (b) you have to assume the system is working correctly, i.e. that the button-press on the key followed by the touch on the handle really has disabled Kessy. If you are that concerned you can just test it while you are there. Walk away, wait 10 seconds and return with the key and touch the handle. (c) you have to assume thieves have not (yet) developed a way to overcome that. ?? You are already making assumptions e.g. that the Faraday bag works, that the stationary key has switched off, being two that come to mind. The latter will be even harder to test Thieves won't go to that much trouble in order to nick a Skoda. I'm not sure Skodas are nicked 'to order' to be shipped in a container to the Middle East. Range Rovers will be way ahead of you in the queue. At least with the lock/touch method even if the thief has captured the 'signal' once the 10 seconds are up they can't use it. tom

I don't understand? Doesn't the procedure where you lock the car with the button on the key and then within 5 seconds touch the 'lock' sensor on the handle not work with the motion sensitive keys? This disables Kessy and means the car can only be unlocked using the button on the key. tom

I have never understood filling with nitrogen after all air is 78% nitrogen anyway. tom

Some hints here, it is unclear whether it is for a Karoq. note the date, 2019. tom

How about getting the dealer to raise the tickover by 100rpm? tom

Torch was deleted at some point. My 2018 does have it. Our car was a 64 mile Skoda/dealer preregistered one. No umbrella. Dealer gave me one from stock, also too big. Decided life is too short to make it an issue. We had an umbrella that did fit so used that. tom

Isn't it the list price when new that counts for the extra VED, not the price paid? tom

My heating/aircon is never switched off. Tom

Mine only get used when I need to do quick an overtake. Using the left paddle to drop a couple of gears feels marginally quicker than using the kick down. Holding the right paddle then puts the car back to whatever drive mode it was in before. tom

Isn't there something in the menus where you can set up that the doors lock when a certain speed is reached? Try turning this off and see what it does. After a while see how it goes then turn it back on. tom

Breaker's yard? tom

My understanding is that speedometers can over read by up to 10% but must NOT under read. Looks like you app readings (if accurate) being slightly under are OK. tom

Same happened to me. No problem with the dealer he gave me another. But check the replacement fits. Mine was the 'standard' Skoda umbrella carried by dealers, it did not fit in the underseat storage. I just left it, life's too short for chasing umbrellas. tom

My 2018 SeL has the removable bootlight/torch that was deleted on later models. I'm not sure but it's in my mind that the paddle shift was also deleted. tom

I think (not sure) the general situation regarding Council claims is that if they didn't know about it -tough. If they did know about it (i.e. has previously been reporter) then you might be in with a chance.

I thought warnings generally showed in red not green. tom

This might be what you are looking for.

Thanks for your unhelpful reply. There is a big difference between your post implying I am stupid and saying something along the lines "there are various replies in Google". For your information I am not looking for replies for Fabias Octavias or Superbs. It would be nice if someone who had done it on a Karoq would give me some helpful advice especially as airbags are involved. I am fed up reading your acerbic replies. If you can't say something useful then....... I'm blocking you.

Nothing came up when I searched per the topic title. I have broken mine on a 2019 model year Karoq. How do I replace the plastic holder? It looks like I have to remove the A pillar trim but what about the airbag? Any instructions/advice? tom

Why not get them wrapped as per fabill posted on 26 October: tom
