Yep, especially when you know a cable connection will run the GPS and charge a almost empty iPhone fully within an hour or so...........

I run a Halfords 14ltr box that uses 40w and claims to draw 3.5amps - I'm happy letting it run up to 2 hours unattended - it's quite a small battery on the Karoq..........not a problem in my Golf inasmuch as the socket is ignition controlled but the box is poor at retaining any 'coolness' without constant supply. Been looking at the highly regarded 12v compressor boxes but they are serious money, cost more than a domestic fridge!

Perhaps you need to test the voltage available and confirm the cut-out is indeed 11.6.....?

All seems very expensive to me……..?

This same problem came up a few months ago, very similar picture, can’t find it using the ‘search’ but I’m sure it was something quite trivial………..

Crikey, that's a long time ordered.....!

Very nice - what would that cost new in Australia then and do you have any punitive crippling extra road tax to pay as we do here in the UK for running a so called 'Luxury' motor?

Ah, so it is.......

Curious......

Yes, 14mm x 1.5 wheel locating pin - lots on Ebay or a little cheaper on AliExpress.. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002664263391.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.25c26a22fCphTR&algo_pvid=c69836d4-65bc-46ff-b4b7-78b223785f32&algo_exp_id=c69836d4-65bc-46ff-b4b7-78b223785f32-8

All well and good until you meet a MOT ‘Nazi’ - I had one a couple of years ago - he was taking ages to do the paperwork so I popped my head through into the office and asked if there was a problem - “not sure” he said and went onto explain that he was searching for confirmation one way or the other about my Golf not having its engine cover on……..he was convinced it was a ‘fail’ but couldn’t find the relevant section so I got a pass. Jerk! - Not been back there since.

Well, that’s one of the joys of operating a branch of ‘Kerbside Motors’ eh……….as for the heavy wheels, I agree, especially when, like me you’re approaching 70. I use one of those locating pins, well worth the £5 I paid. Glad you are sorted and you never know, that knowledge on how to remove the bottle may come in one day……….

Me. Yes.

Seems it’s not possible to get a definitive answer- personally I suspect you get very little with the ‘prep’ option, I mean, it’s less than £200, can’t see Skoda doing cooling and electrical upgrades for such a low price?

Just as long as the new screen is not a cheap Chinese version - too many screens are very poor quality and once you tilt to the rake on most motors the inferior laminate quality / material is all too visible.

All very curious - not to mention worrying………

I think the on/off is in Vehicle Settings.....?

Thinking about doing that myself but, as you say, no recess for the badge - might look naff........

Yep, it's been discussed many times, mine comes and goes - there were some early cases of the headlamp plastic cracking near to where the bumper meets but I think it'll be obvious if that's the case........just wait a few days, see if it clears / gets worse.

I suspect it’s to reset the control system if you’re having trouble, nothing to do with poor cooling temperatures……….?

Not me, electric tailgate is in the same category as Kessy - quite unnecessary.

At slower speeds the rears do lock-up and drag - found that out as I plucked up courage to actually pull the switch. Didn’t try the higher speed routine until after seeing Chris Harris and Rory on Top Gear doing handbrake turns in a Golf with electric parking brake. I suspect the rears do actually momentarily lock at higher speeds but some electronic gizmo backs the pads off…..?

Hmmm………I’m not convinced - if that was true it’d stop much quicker.

You should give 'em a regular 'scrub' - clear road, 60 mph, pull the parking brake switch and keep it up until almost at a stop, rinse and repeat a few times. I must say, considering it's only the back brakes the vehicle slows very quickly.......... It won't rescue already buggered discs but it will keep the new ones clean.

Same here, my former 'clutch' foot doesn't know anything other than down to the floor, though to be fair it's always been a mistake on my part - thinking (or not) that I'm about to change gear! Amazing how quick a motor can stop with un-calibrated 'left foot braking'......... But that said, in ACC mode my right foot is normally hovering around the pedals to 'override' the all too regular bad calls made by the system.
