Hi Im looking for info on my aircon system, just been for a re charge at ATS and been told theres a leak on the system somewhere, they dont have the equipment to test for leaks. I take it Im going to have to get it checked by a specialist and wondering if theres a common fault? Thanks

Brilliant I'll sleep better now, dont know why it suddenly occurred to me after having the car nearly three years...

That's reassuring thanks.

With the increase in Cat thefts Im wondering if my car could be targeted are the cats of any value in the mk 3 ? Iv seen a lot of newer Japanese hybrids cars getting theirs stolen.

That would be great thanks

Like an idiot I did a run to the tip and put some long lengths of timber down the middle of the car and scratched the leather on the sliding arm rest, long shot but does anyone know if its possible to change the sliding lid only ? thanks

Thanks for the replies, at the moment Im gathering information but wont be jumping in until I can actually get to see and drive a Karoq which at the moment will be March if I'm lucky, please feel free to offer more advice it all helps. cheers Dave

Iv found out that the Karoq Scout has been dropped from the list so I'm looking at the Sportline DSG.

^ Brilliant thanks thats what I was expecting.

Hi the Karoq has caught my eye and Im trying to find out a few things about it, cant go into showrooms at the moment and the Skoda website isn't great for detail so I rang my local dealership and asked if the 4x4 system was permanent or Haldex...they dont know and dont know what the Haldex system is so can any one tell which it is please?

Ok thanks grateful for your input.

Thanks that’s great to hear do you have a link to the bulletin?

Thanks that's pretty much what my man said he isn't a bit concerned about it, its me I like to get repairs done as quick as possible maybe Im over thinking it. At the moment theres no noise or vibration.

Thanks I’ll get it done ASAP in case it starts vibrating and causing more damage.

Iv got a Mk3 2016 Scout 42k miles, just had an oil change and inspection where it was noticed that the prop shaft coupling has some cracks in it, the garage is an independent VW Audi specialist, he`s actually a mate but says he`s not seen this before, he said its not a panic issue and the cracks are minor at the moment. Can anyone shed some light on this please, any experiences, cost to repair, thanks.

Only for the snowflakes.

Not really I wish it was, it's a one off concept.

This has to be one of the strangest..daftest threads Iv seen on here, firstly stop start isn't hard to get used to, its good for so many reasons like saving fuel and can be turned off with the press of a button. One day you will want to change the car and that will probably bite you on the arse.

My warranty ended a couple of months ago, If and when something goes wrong i`ll go to an independant I dont like main dealerships never have they just want to fleece you at every possible opportunity. My Mk2 Scout was the most reliable car Iv owned just a fuel pressure sensor in 8 years, if my Mk3 is half as reliable i`ll be happy.

Thanks 👍

Did Skoda start fitting a modified pump at some point? a rough date would be useful, my car was registered March 2016

I would say the SatNav on my car is the worst thing about it, its always having brainfarts from simply putting a postcode in to getting confused on route, Iv resorted to using my Garmin.

Most mechanics can navigate their around cars whatever the make, the Haldex system isn’t unique either.
