Different size spare wheel
Ah, I see, yes they will be the same and therefore will be compatible / interchangeable. Can’t say if it’ll fit in spare wheel well though.

Different size spare wheel
Yes, almost identical circumference.

Skoda Karoq 16" Steel Wheel & Bridgestone Winter Tyre Set
The ET of my Audi alloys is 42 - thus pushing the centre of my wheels 1mm further out of the wheel arch than the Skoda spec - I can live with that.......

Hands free / End call
I think pressing the right hand side roller ends a call?

Eco light on even though in Normal mode
You can switch off the light and message but the car will still use 2 cylinder mode when the conditions are right.

Skoda Karoq 16" Steel Wheel & Bridgestone Winter Tyre Set
I have a set of 16" Audi alloys with Michelin Cross climates on for use in the winter months - I'm sure if I was the type of driver that pushed to the limit I might notice some differences in steering feedback / response, but I'm not......😄 I do like the extra sidewall depth, gives me added blase regarding the state of the roads around here.

Rear wiper driving me nuts!
I've been out this a.m. and had a play with the wiper settings - my personal default position for the wipers is to leave them on 'auto intermittent', this suits me, the rear wiper givers a single wipe when I select reverse, but only if it's raining and never wipes of its own accord as I drive along. However, if I switch the front wipers to 'on', that is operating continuously, the back wiper gives a single wipe every 30 seconds or so.........perhaps I've never experienced this before because I only use the various 'intermittent' settings?

Can I add Lane Assist?
I'd give it a test - find a well marked road and deliberately wander (gently) across the center line. The visual central (at the bottom) dash display also monitors the 'lines', amber for having trouble finding the line and green for locked on........

Karoq Edition
Looking at the new brochure there seems to be an anomaly inasmuch as the SE is described as having the front and rear sensors as well as a rear camera but in the ‘extras’ it comes in at £890 extra!

Can I add Lane Assist?
Curious - sure you've got it switched on? Ours is forever tugging at the wheel, not quite as aggressively as my Superb, but nonetheless you know about it - I some times also get the admonishment chime and 'stay in lane' visual notice. Unless you drive like a saint and signal each and every lane change I'm very surprised to read you've never felt it......

Rear wiper driving me nuts!
Owners with the unwanted random / intermittent rear wipe must surely have something incorrectly set else there’s a fault - I’ve had a 2019 Karoq and now a 2024 model and neither had / have this problem. The only time the rear wiper operates of its own accord is when I have the fronts on and select reverse in the rain.

Vehicle Status - Never Noticed Before……
Been driving Skoda since 2018 and never noticed the vehicle lights all feature on the ‘Vehicle Status’ display - that is to say whenever any lights are on, such as indicators, brake lights etc, they show up on the vehicle depiction screen - has it always been so and I’ve never noticed or it something new?

Just picked up new SEL DSG - some minor unexpected differences to MY2021
You’re going to need those Bosch wipers……

Just picked up new SEL DSG - some minor unexpected differences to MY2021
Our July 2024 SEL does the steering wheel wiggle engine start - I miss the gear indicator though - have to do the old rpm / road speed check - I do find it quite reluctant to go into 7th, around 50 needs to be achieved - a quick way to check is to move the selector momentarily into ‘M’ and the clear number is displayed.

Skoda SIM required for wireless Apple CarPlay?
I’ve had to turn the in car WiFi off in my Superb thus losing the wireless CarPlay as I got fed up of the SatNav, the oem Skoda fitted one as well as Waze/Google Maps getting the position wrong, sometimes by 50 miles, that confused the in dash speed alert into forever chiming and rendering the ACC unusable. Strangely, some days it would be fine but then other days, no chance!

New oener
Yep, mine too, although I didn’t know the reason the parking brake would suddenly active - opening the drivers door whilst manoeuvring!

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Ah, I see now, I misunderstood, I wrongly assumed you were spraying via the outside air intake……….apologies. 🫢
-
What have you done to your Superb III today?
Not that I've had cause for many years but I’d have thought the pollen filter would catch any lubricants you spray into the inlet portal? The distribution flaps are all, I’d have thought, after the pollutants have been filtered out? Then again I might have it all wrong………
-
What have you done to your Superb III today?
😎You took the pollen filter out first, yes?😎

DAB radio issues
Some might say a bit extreme - good luck with the new motor........😎

Dash Rattle / Vibration / Buzz
Mine comes and goes, could be temperature dependant, though I'm not sure of any pattern - if I apply slight pressure in the area indicated it sometimes disappears, though not always........

Paint touch up/repair
That looks like a £450 - £500 body shop repair……….?

Flat Battery and multiple error messages - systems unavailable
Did the new battery come to you or did you drive to get it - inasmuch as after a battery change much of the strange stuff needs a a few hundred yards and even a bit of lock to lock?
