I would go back to the dealer. It’s clearly a fault with the fixing/adhesive they use to secure the part.

My opinion, after switching from a 2.0 diesel Yeti to a 1.5 Kodiaq… You’ll miss the low down and mid range torque but it doesn’t take too long to adapt.

It will be a complete ball ache and very frustrating for you, but you have the option to reject the car if the options you paid for are not fitted. I had specified ACC and heated windscreen and the car was delivered without both. It was even worse, as I need adaptations, which were fitted to it before I had a chance to check the car was what I ordered. Turns out that the admin doing the paperwork missed them off the order!! I managed to get a full tank of fuel, posh mats and a boot mat as compo. IIRC, it’s not possible to retrofit either, so I rejected the car and had to re-order. The first car took 7 months to arrive and the replacement another 7 due to Covid. Cingers crossed the ACC is fitted when your car actually arrives.

Have a look at this thread… Top of page 6 there is a 3 section hard rubber/carpet reversable mat. The one with a split down the middle of 2 sections. You can fold 2 sections over so it fits with the 3rd row up. I actually cut the whole width section off so I could use it for the lowered boot floor and the other 2 bits taped together for the seat backs when folded so I can get my wheelchair in.

I use a couple of faraday pouches at home. Perfect every time. Don’t forget to put the spare fob in one.

As you said, one file 2 folders

Well I followed the instructions to the letter. downloaded the zipped file, unzipped it and copied all 3 folders to a 64Gb SD card formatted to exFAT. in sorted it in slot 1 on the Columbus and started the update. I had to turn the car off to go into work, but it kept on updating with the ignition off and the car locked. 6 1/2 hours!!! later all done, although it showed an upload error message, all the country maps have updated to 2021. result.

Worked for my MY20 Kodiaq today, at

Why stress? get down to halfrauds, buy some reflective yellow and white tape to cover the website, job done.

So, having got the wifi to work, I noticed that I never seemed to get a signal when parked up. Purely by accident, I discovered that when I switch the ignition off, the wifi switches off after a short period so to use it when parked I have to have the ignition on Can anyone tell me if this is normal and if there is a setting to allow it to work with the ignition off please? TIA

Thinking about it, you’re right. I was going by what I was advised some time ago. Every day is a learning day.

That is the same with the piggy back type. The only difference is that the fuse on the piggy back for the accessory is directly on the fuse board. The flying lead type needs an inline fuse as close to the fuse board as possible.

That was first thought too, but can’t work out the E

Revisiting this, I came across these... https://www.halfords.com/tools/fuses-electricals-and-fixings/fuses/halfords-blade-fuse-plus-breakout-wire-15-amp-hfs294-704953.html?istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istFeedId=367c5610-f937-4c81-8609-f84582324cd6&istItemId=rwxatlwq&istBid=t&_$ja=tsid:94971|cid:865695754|agid:43902127335|tid:pla-403443993023|crid:203186037801|nw:g|rnd:1257354947433158536|dvc:c|adp:|mt:|loc:1006786&gclid=CjwKCAiAlNf-BRB_EiwA2osbxYs2PxRnP7EZU75eOozXSpk1j-F0PqLILsC2_reg910WITcdL3xeQhoCD9kQAvD_BwE I’ve not been brave enough to remove the glove box yet, but would one of those work, or would the fuse box cover not close over it?

It’s a bit too cold outside for that!

Right, so I have just been out with the fob in the pouch. No response from the car when pressing any of the buttons on the fob so I know the pouch works as it did when I first bought it. The tailgate does indeed open from about 5 meters away but will not close unless I’m much closer ? As for the dog, she’s a toy Manchester terrier and couldn’t see out of the window even if stood on her hind legs!

Maybe they reduced the distance for some reason, on later cars? This from the latest manual The key was in the pouch, hanging on a hook 4 feet from the ground all night, so even the dog couldn’t have pressed the button by mistake. She can’t drive anyway. We do live about 10 miles from Luton but nowhere near the flight paths. A disturbing thought though.

What year model is yours? Mine was built this year

Well I went out to the car this morning to find the electric tailgate fully open!! I am 100% certain I did not cause it with any keys. I got home at 4pm, locked the car as normal. Indoors, I put the key in the faraday pouch, the spare is also in one in a drawer. SWMBO got home at 6 and it was closed then. It can’t be either of the keys for two reasons: Both were in faraday pouches that work, I have tested them. The tailgate will only open with the keyfob if it is within 2 meters of the tailgate sensor, also tested. I have to be standing by the B pillar at the furthest for it to work. I know the Yeti used to unlock itself every now and then, but at least it wasn’t noticeable. Luckily we live in a quiet close. Does anyone have a constructive answer as to why? How many other people have the same problem?

Don’t matter, it’s still fooked!

If you go with the Karoq, you might be disappointed with the size of the boot if you are used to the cavern that is the Octy. The Kodiaq boot is about the same size with the 3rd row of seats down, deeper vertically too.

thanks Johnboy, very interesting 🧐 I have to say, I reckon the screen does seem to keep a lot of the heat out. The car had been in full sun all day and it was nowhere near as hot inside as the Yeti in similar circumstances.

I’m glad I found this. My previous Yetis all had heated screens and you could see the element. I noticed that the Kodiaq doesn’t have any visible elements so was a bit concerned that it had not been fitted as ordered. Can anyone give me a quick explanation how the wireless screens work please. TiA

Finally collected (long story) a emerald green 1.5Tsi DSG with heated screen and ACC as options. A great improvement on the Yeti it replaced, but changing from 20 years of diesel ownership to petrol is going to take some getting used to. I’m missing the mid range torque!

Try the hook rails from a Yeti, perhaps?
