I used to worry about the Kessy vulnerability but no longer - it's not Skoda branded cars that attract the scumbags and scroats.........

Doesn’t look right to me - if it feels like clutch slip then……. -does it behave the same in 4th or 6th? I’m no expert but I think 1 3 5 7 & 2 4 6 use separate clutch workings - I recall a work associate having to drive his DSG manually using just every other gear…….? I don’t think holding in a particular gear would induce what we see in your video clip…I often use 4th on long twisty climb, never experienced any noticeable problem.

I have the so called ‘high view’ with the options but I can’t get back to the original view - for a couple of weeks the standard rear view (before / without selecting any option) was a seemingly high definition, normal focal length, no number plate visible (perhaps just a smidge of bumper edge) nice rear view. Then, as on my last Karoq, something changed, the default view is now wider with less definition………curious.

I’m finding that TSR fall well short of what I expected, the only signs it recognises are the Speed Limit ones - I occasionally get a warning in the Superb about a bend or roundabout but these come from the mapping / guidance software, not the TSR - even then it’s not consistent.

I’m taken aback at how sharp / dangerous a little delaminating chrome trim can be - and equally, how much mess blood can cause in a motor whilst grabbing a tissue!

It does on the our mid 24 model - in fact it grabs any number it can - speed alert going off regularly for random signage.

Nothing to ‘reveal’!

Snap - you made the same mistake as me tt - I was convinced I had the button too……!

Apologies - just been out make a video of the function and I’m mistaken - it only features on my Superb, not the Karoo where the space is blank. Sorry mistac, my mind playing tricks on me - I will say though, that digital display and the buttons are all a bit much, talk about distractions…….

Standard spec. Edit: Getting confused with my digital displays and cars mixed up, there’s no such button on our standard spec Karoo.

Question 1 - Yes. Question 2 - More difficult to answer. Our 2024 Karoq without Adaptive Cruise - No. My 2022 Superb with Adaptive Cruise works differently inasmuch as it knows well before a lower limit area and enters the lower zone at the correct speed - if it picks up a lower limit signage, be it temporary or a 20mph school area, it just nags and flashes the lower limit on screen, just as it does if I exceed the posted speed limit. Question 3 - I've not noticed the speed limit missing on any screen choice on either vehicle.

On my 2024 SEL pressing that button brings up a selection / list of things to switch on / off like lane guidance etc.

Had to change both fronts on my 2024 Karoq this week - making an horrendous noise - delivered 1st July, just 10 weeks ago, less than 1000miles. Very poor quality the OEM ones - Bosch are by far superior.

I run a 2010 1.6tdi Golf - bought it new when the belt interval was hailed as being 100k - that was quickly revised down shortly after to 5 years. If the new belts are indeed 140k with no time limit why doesn’t the criteria apply to earlier engines after a belt change? In the 80’s when belts became fashionable I was in the driving tuition business and lots of my competitors were suffering expensive premature failure with no help from manufacturers. The reason given I recall was that lots of engine stalling puts excessive sudden strain on the belt. Could have been true? Either way, despite my Golf being DSG and thereby giving the engine a easier life I’ve stuck to the 5 year regime, coming up to my third change in a couple of months - the pain and expense suffered by my competitors all those years ago still has a haunting effect on me….😁

I’d return the car if possible - if the belt hasn’t been changed in 6 years / 75k miles - it’s a risk that could result in a very expensive repair.

My 2022 Superb had only done 3k and never been near a car wash let alone a third world ‘scratch & shine’ franchise - only ever been washed with cold water and a hint of Autoglym shampoo - yet the trim, especially around the doors, has gone off - pretty poor quality really, pretty poor.

I was on a 24” 3/4 bar and socket with a 36” extension slider over the top giving more than enough humph but 90nm plus a quarter turn was my comfort limit - based on almost 60 years of ‘gut feeling’…….😳

I’ve recently changed a rear hub and the spec was 90nm plus 180 - there was no way I could confidently take it to +180 - I quit at 90nm + a quarter turn.

Thanks for the correction P4T - either way 2mm shouldn't make much difference..........

I think your 45's will stick out 2mm more than recommended - can't see that making any difference - I'm running on 16" wheels with a 42ET measurement.

All good then…..👍

Ah, I see now - apologies - sorry can't help with that - let us know if you find the bugger.......

Not fully sure what you mean by ‘catching near the push button’? However, the release of the glovebox is simply depressing the 2 spring loaded ‘stops’ and allowing it to drop - the soft open mechanism / light switch just slides out. I normally start by releasing the nearside stop, applying downward pressure by twisting the box slightly to keep it released and then the other - three hands would be useful as with many dismantling jobs.

You are not getting this are you - it's not about lowering the speed limit or phoney / lip service public consultations - if you read the thread it's about the speed warning technology in new vehicles being quite clever and alerting the driver to a change they may not be aware of. Now, you infer that drivers (me?) don't look out of the windscreen, oh but I do, I see almost all that matters - what I don't see is things that aren't there anymore, like a missing 40mph sign that had been there for some years! I challenge anyone, especially you Stonekeeper, to notice the removal of a 40 sign, not a change, a complete removal - drivers are simply not looking to notice something that's no longer there - now bring the limit down from 50 to 40 else 30 then the changed sign would be quickly recognised by a driver paying attention. There was a time any change in posted speed limits would have been accompanied by temporary rectangular information signs advising of the change, most especially in this particular 30 to 40 to 30 scenario you so diligently uncovered but alas, Notts CC don't think it necessary and thus, as logiclee points out, the greatest income from the fines comes from locals, that is them that use the road, not live on it.
