Must admit that after years of using Amundsen sat nav in a number of Skodas I'm now preferring Google on my screen via the phone. For a start the voice control is so much bette and more precise, the vioce actually speaks good english and I can tell what she says ! The Skoda voice well?? I do prefer the Amundsen screen layout to the Google but Google is so much better when on the move and you can tell it where you want to go in plain language and it will do it.

If you have flex seats it's easy to do to fit 2 bikes if not I dont know, I have flex seats and remove all the seats, remove front wheels on 2 MTBs fit a piece of wood with cut outs between the seat posts and use 2 buckle straps from the tie down points around the seat posts and they are realy secure. If I didn't have Flexy seating I would use a tailgate carrier, ( last resort )

I had mine replaced by Auto Windscreens and apart from breaking the backing for the rear view mirror which they sorted ! all was and still is good.
-
I have a 18 reg and as far as I know you must use the card Skoda provided, I updated mine some weeks ago no problems.

I took out the All In One around the end of November 2021 by the end of February 22 I wouldn't have paid in as much as it cost for the service or MOT but other than any none covered work I paid nothing. Last service MOT was this February and I'm still paying £25 per month untill Oct/Nov when it expires, then I will see what happens regarding any over / under payment and wether or not to renew it. I did get new door locks and an ignition switch done under All in One. So happy with that.

Rory. what's done is done, I do intend keeping the car as it suits our needs at this time. Dont want an all electric and at 77 I will just bide my time and see what life brings. If we keep our good health for driving and our outdoor hobby we may get a Honda Jazz as a hybrid it looks good and seems to have space and good reviews. Nothing in the Skoda camp of interest to me as far as hybrid.

Vehicle Service - Red and Amber Items - FUD or serious items to watch out for?
Gomezz replied to MJ1's topic in Skoda Karoq
My 5 year old 2ltr TDi failed due to disc rusting in March with 32,000 miles on it. I also have the all in one package, I took it to a local garage for new discs and pads, cost around £190 then my dealer did the retest to pass it. I had had the cam belt done at the same time!! so a big bill would have been even bigger had the dealer done the discs. -
It was simple on the 2018 SEL. Pull the little switch on top of the LH stalk that activates the cruise control then press the button on the lower side of the stalk to change to limiter and toggle the speed you want.
-
Yes had my 2Ltr TDi 4x4 cambelt done in March at 32,100 miles with water pump and tensioners for £779. Done at recommended 5 year. Now feel I have been had,

Then carry a spare battery in your wallet or in the car.

I had a chip about as big as a match head repaired a couple of years ago, It didn't last and had to have a new screen, it was done by Auto windscreens and all was ok after. a 2018 SEL 4x4

Intermittent Passenger Dock Lock Fault, anything I can do?
Gomezz replied to tsedge99's topic in Skoda Karoq
It's a well known fault!! I have had my locks replaced at different times under "all in one warranty " so dealers and Skoda are well aware of it . -
Temperamental ENGINE stop/start button
Gomezz replied to hanf's topic in Skoda Kodiaq MKI (2017-2023)
So did I on my Karoq. -
I got a set when I bought the car in 2018 and can say they are really good, the lip keeps any soggy footwear from mucking up the car and they fit very well. Well worth the price what ever they cost and easy to take out to clean.
-
New front discs and pads on my 18 reg Karoq £195 at my independent garage. Dealer wanted £460 ish to get it through the MoT at 5 years and 34500 miles !
-
Yes guess they are different animals, but I'm sure someone who has a car the same as me is reading this post with interest and may find any info helpful.
-
My 2018 4x4 2ltrTdi is booked in for the cam belt including tension fittings and I have been quoted £779 at the dealers.
-
I have heard it is due to too much grease in the locks when made by contractors causing problems with electrical contacts. My locks were intermittently working not working, auto locking when moving going nuts, dealer just changed the locks as they were aware of the problems.
-
A lot of posts on here about this problem, it's a well known fault. If you have had it from new and serviced at main dealer see if they will do it. I had my locks renewed under the " All in One Warranty" service plan.
-
Why buy a car with obvious issues? Lots of other cars around.
-
I quite often use eco / freewheel mode on undulating roads and have never found a problem but have found better mpg. As Toot says a dab on the throttle or brake puts you back in full control, not that I feel out of control anyway. As an old guy I was told not to freewheel in the good!!! old days.
-
Both locks replaced , drivers in March passenger's in October. Under All in One service plan. 2018 model.
-
If you intend keeping the car after the warranty expires I would recomend taking out the All in One Plan ! Had my door locks replaced, don't know how much it would have cost but I'm sure it would have been close to the 2 year cost of the plan and there was no hassle. Will keep a watch on my car for ignition problems.
