Air in the Air Con system……?

I wonder how taxi drivers get around it, I’m sure the doors on taxis have to be unlocked whilst a ‘fare’ is onboard?

Yes, I noticed that too whilst trying to find a way around the problem……..

Seems someone at Skoda (or the dictatorial EU) have decided that owners cannot be trusted with the option to switch off ‘auto locking’………!

Yes it does - I find it irritating on A roads - you head into a dip and the car applies the brakes only to 'kick down' a moment later to climb out of the dip - I find myself knocking the ACC off momentarily to avoid the car braking - I'm pretty sure the following vehicle must get ****ed off with the constant brake light show? The basic cruise is better inasmuch as it doesn't mind gaining a few MPH going downhill - but it does need keeping in check on longer downhill sections.

Has your vehicle been retro fitted with a wireless type pressure monitor system?

Our 24 reg 1.5SEL is difficult to drive smoothly, the accelerator is very unforgiving leading to a jerky ride, especially on rough potholed surfaces........our previous 1.0 SEL was far superior in the ride.

Wireless (and expensive) on some cars but VW group vehicles mainly use the ABS exciter built into the hubs..........

Mine snapped off too - I had 30 minutes investigating the feasibility of replacing it and concluded the job was not worth the effort………

You need three hands, two to push the sprung loaded clips/hinges in and the other to steady the operation - keep at it, you'll win..........not sure you should have to remove any screws?

I have a 2022 fully loaded L&k Superb, traffic sign recognition seems to mean ‘speed limit’ only - never seen anything other than speed limits displayed on the top right screen…..?

What’s become of our member Aperture, font of knowledge in all things Superb? He’s not been around lately…….

Maybe - but our SEL has the speed limit chime business the autobrake and the 'lane departure' nuisance.......can't see the Sportline has any others unless the automatic cruise control counts?

In the Superb the blue full beam light is on all the time when not in a 30 zone and the gizmo just gets on with it, even illuminating up the hedgerows/sides of the vehicle I’m following!

Usual main dealer faff - when I first raised the issue 12 months earlier they claimed nothing was wrong and it was 'a glitch' - then, armed with video evidence we'd made they had to have it in the workshop to check what I was saying, and of course, they couldn't fit it in for a couple of weeks - then we had to wait for the new Controller and when the day finally came they broke some connector off the new controller although they claimed it was already broken - either way another delay but amazingly they were able to source one for next day though it took a further day to reassemble the car. It was mentioned that the part was north of £1100..........Good luck matey. When I filled the 'satisfaction' survey in I complained about the amount of time it all took, dealer came back with some gonads about how it could have been done and dusted in a much shorter time frame if I'd have been prepared to finance the repair myself rather than wait for Skoda warranty to sanction it....! Cheeky gits.

Had a similar problem - turned out to be the ‘OnlineServices Controller’ - expensive!

I wonder if the mileage was just the one journey, Milton Keynes to Rochdale?

Rear ABS ring, probably offside?

Quite painful to watch - to be fair, recovery services and the companies that operate 'em have always been shoddy (yes, I'm sure there will be exceptions) but you know what I mean....... I've been rescued/recovered a few times in my 55 year motoring career and none of the events stand out as commendable.

Yep, sounds almost exactly as I experienced - only difference is I turned down the hire car seeing as Škoda Assist and the AA patrol indicated it would be simple battery swap out - but as I mentioned, dealer wanted to do their own diagnostics and only when they were ready - took 10 days to resolve! I’m disappointed and saddened as to how far so called ‘customer service’ has fallen. Good luck.

If your Skoda dealer is anything like ours then you'll be in that hire car for a few weeks - I found there seems to be a disconnect between the AA, Skoda Assist and most importantly, the dealer - who in my case was most put out that they had to take the car in. Much mutterings about the word of a AA patrol v their own workshop diagnostic.........

Simply test / feel the timer for any heat whilst it’s charging - if it’s hot then stop using it but if you’re only pulling 7 amps then I doubt you’ll have a problem…….

Hmmmm…..curious.

There's a Polish site selling a Karoq windscreen with exactly the same code / identification mark as your photo - and it's heated? https://allegro.pl/oferta/szyba-przednia-skoda-karoq-lift-2020-sol-grzana-13550341579?dd_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F I think the AS1 code relates to the 'heated' screens - not sure why I posted A61 on the Superb thread.........

Aviva recently renewed my 280 for a very reasonable £72 lower than last @ £204 (full NCD) - I expected a similar sort of reduction on the Karoq, especially as it's in my wife's name and she's still building a NCD but no, last year £333 this year £338. I have asked Sergei the Meercat and his mates and they came up with the £290 yet only £240 if we trade up to a new Sportline? A law unto themselves Insurance companies........
