Not often you see a speed warning sticker on cars in the UK with Winter / Snow tyres fitted. I used the Winter Tyre warning setting to let me know where a driving ban would be a certainty. The other Speed warning setting also used at a lower speed.

@SurreyJohn You thought right. They never went with all the spin with the Skoda Citigo iV did they expecting to pull them so soon in the EU or the UK? They were not exactly giving them away as a loss leader. Who are the VW Group losing sales to with one of the lowest priced EV's where people want a small car? Smart maybe, but i doubt that. They produced the low range e-Up! for long enough and it was at a crazy RRP.

@shyVRS245Plug in hybrids are just a temp thing for kidology about being green and people travelling around in still big heavy and in many cases still liquid fueled cars with few people in them. They are among the ICE vehicles to be banned from sale new eventually.

There is a post on here from last week. The switch is on the door pillar to disable the 'motion' sensor / alarm. For use on ferries, transporters and with living / moving things in the car. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/484661-how-to-disable-alarm

Lots of Councils and Local Authorities are talking big grand schemes and were after EU money and you end up a couple of years later with a few chargers and they can be out of order for weeks.

@greenstripe What sort of range do you get with your car? Obviously everyone in an EV would not need to. Just as people might not go to a fuel filling station every few days or even weekly, maybe not even every month. Travel a distance and not start from home or work or where ever or not have a home charger and you want to charge someplace. You will likely want to charge after getting someplace before continuing your trip that day or the next and that can be at a public charger, maybe at a hotel. The point is that the infrastructure has to keep expending as EV vehicles on the roads increase, especially if Taxi Hybrids and other plug in hybrids are going to be occupying chargers for 'Long time Mr. and sometimes like all day.

@Jfhuk When was your car built and how many miles has it done?

@Skodbuster Does your Karoq with DSG not have 'Autohold' so that there is no need to sit with a foot on the brake or apply the 'e-brake' when held in traffic? Stop /start can be switched off at a halt / stopped traffic and 'Autohold' holds the car until you touch the accelerator or the brake or twitch the steering wheel.

Dealerships will not need their arm twisted up their backs to take demonstrators. That is what the best profit is made on when the time comes to flog it. There is going to be enough interest in getting a Enyaq that there will be a greater demand than the available supply. Maybe not outright buyers but those looking to lease. Skoda UK just needs to be on the ball and deal with any snagging issues. Get Public Charging points available at or beside Dealerships and not only for when a Dealership is open.

Anyone wanting a nearly new vRS Kodiaq in the UK should be able to get a bargain. These are 'Asking Prices' so not automatically 'price to buy prices' as Dealers will want them punted and then more lease cars will be coming back into trade. Not like they are going to be scarce as Dealers had Demo cars, never raced or rallied in the first 3 months, well apart from a few infamous cases immortalised on here.

It could well have required the Software Update. There should be a sticker in the spare tyre well showing it as done. Best not trust to them knowing or admitting to anything. You need to be Asking Skoda Customer Services as well as at a dealership. Try your VIN in this one. '34H5' was not coming up for a couple of years but seemed to after Australia called it a RECALL there. http://skoda-auto.com/services/recall-actions This was the 2014 letters but should not apply to cars late 2012 on.

@loha Best ask them and if they say no double check. ? Is your DQ200 DSG one that should have been part of Service Campaign / Recall Action '34H5' started in 2017 on some boxes produced between 2013-2015? A software update as a preventative measure which causes failures and leaks. (This is now a yet another RECALL in Australia started in 2019 but covering the period of the last 2 recall / service campaigns.) '34H5' has nothing to do with the World Wide Recall and European Service Campaign '34F7' which was on DQ200's from 2009-2012. That was the change from Synthetic Oil to Mineral and a Software update.

Costing more for a EV and cost very much less to run is rather important. As it is today nobody yet knows what ICE vehicles and EV's will have imposed when imported to the UK from the EU and Rest of the World. 0-60 mph figures for the likes of the US are to often confusing the 0-100 kph / 62 mph times.

^^^Lots more EV's going on the roads weekly and not all just going about towns but on journies. It will help if those getting a Tesla bother to get to understand what chargers give them what charging speeds if they are not using Tesla chargers. It is sadly becoming less true about the UK & 200 mile ranges when you are going to have to wait an hour or 3 to get your turn charging or you have to move on and try try and try again. 'Robert the Bruce EV charging. Then certainly in Scotland unless more Rapid Chargers become available and those that provide or maintain them bother their back ends to do it promptly. So both 50kWh and 100kWh chargers are needed and even more 350kWh chargers.

@Gonzini Scary to think you collect a car and drive it with tyre pressures that someone you do not know set them too. But then many do just that. I hope after the service you check what the pressures are for how your car is used and reset the TPMS then check the pressures regularly or at least as the seasons change.

@Rocketeers Would you not like to share with others what the story is with the car then and it's VIN?

@Stuart-h A Mk3 Octavia with which engine?, this is to give an idea what brakes it has.

Just standard tyres and valves and nothing on the wheels. Enough of a drop in PSI / circumference of the tyres will trigger a change, it might be 4 psi it might be more. Once you have the tyres sorted out you can experiment by setting the pressures, resetting the TPMS. Then later drop a tyres pressure and see when you get a warning.

Thomas needs to get a grip. He wants all sheep exterminated or to die off in horrible circumstances with maggots eating them to death. For him to be happy Skoda need vinyl seats or other materials manufactured from vegetables so that will be oil, or recycled from the bones of dinaosaurs

Best read the owners manual because the 'offroad' button does not mean you then go into permanent AWD. That is not what it is all about.

If it is a 'Going too fast' warning look for the setting for that beside where you set the Speed warning for when Winter / Snow tyres are fitted. There is that as well

Nothing on the end of the stalk like a rocker, and nothing on speed limiter in the manual. Does not sound like 'Simply Clever' from Skoda. ? @ What speed does your it tell you that you are going too fast?
