Any idea when the change from chain to belt occurred, any model spec or year?

Agreed, 100k/4 years absolute max

Looking at petrol kodiaq, skoda tells me the CAMBELT is not a service item Are they belts or chains and surely belts need changing?

the combination of stop/start/dsg and 3 cylinders make it exciting to pull away and not in a good way

I would strongly suggest you try other engine/gearbox combinations, other models/makes within budget

1ltr petrol dsg is sluggish

Smallest ive had, 1 child seat seems to fill it Mondeo Superb (3) Etate (1) Octavia Karoq Epica Passat (4)

hire one for a week... you may change your mind and the boots tiny

how do i do that?

Agreed, worse thing ive come across apart from crossply tyres...

Had a 1.5 petrol 150bhp manual Karoq R-line for 5 months, took some getting used to, grip in the wet/snow awful but it went well, did 46mpg (urban mainly) .... Got to 10,000 miles and got told to swap cars, got a brand new Kamiq Monte Carlo 1ltr petrol DSG with 30 miles on the clock, god what a difference...not in a good way having to stick shift it to get it to pull from a standstill, then use "S" on auto.... and rag it to move well and avoid other cars the box is the worst ive come across, slow to kick down (when im in D), thought i was going to die joining a rounabout with cars to avoid... driver lane correction refuses to go away (or i get it off with warning lights) automatic central locking wont go away/cant delete it rear sensor only, no front sensors (is this a budget trim?) Getting 40mpg so whoever thought it may cost less to run should have his/her abacus taken off him/her/them..... it might win on a 200 mile motorway cruise but all my miles are on the urban school run banger race circuit

I stated the fact Ive driven loads of autos, from a Rover P5 to a E250 merc, the gearbox on mine, whichever it was, was crap

The 2019 68 plate octavia dsg exploded at 40,000 miles, skoda fitted new engine FOC To be honest the car drove awful, and the gear box was a right POS, slow late soggy changes I got it back from Skoda, next time it moved was onto a Cazoo transporter I made £1400 on it but it was the worst 3 weeks of my car owning life Ford or MB for me now

I've invoices for services but no service book, how do I access the online record?
