Look to be the same versions here:

Based upon my experience of that engine in a SEAT I'd say it wouldn't be ideal in a fully-laden Karoq, although as previous posters have mentioned the DSG box does a reasonable job of disguising the (relative) lack of power. I recall a 1.0 TSi SEAT I previously owned was pretty reasonable on the motorway, but was unable to reverse up relatively modest inclines

I noticed this the other day too - just a dot as a notification now🤷‍♂️ Guessing it was an Android Auto update?

Looking like the weather takes a turn for the worse after today ☔️☔️

Noticed some cracking crepuscular rays on the way home yesterday 🌤️

No longer available for sale

In my view first and second are too low geared. Sadly this car won't live long in my memory, unlike several previous Yeti's, and the Suzuki which preceded it

Disappointing isn't it, especially given the cost (and subsequent depreciation).

For comparison I drove a mates 1 4 2017 TSi Oxtavia and found it a much more pleasant thing to drive. As much as I'm not keen on DSG I very much regret my decision to go with a manual.

Yes - I had the same message on the dashboard👍 My wife and I have pretty much lost faith in the car, as it's so difficult to drive smoothly, especially in traffic.

Indeed - I was interested to read comments where they had achieved.higher feel economy with E5, which I've never managed to replicate over many miles logged (on Fuelly) There is however a noticeable improvement in low end torque and as I'm a sucker for collecting points I do use the odd tank of Shell V-Power 😀 https://www.fuelly.com/car/skoda/karoq/2022/pinkpanther/1200251

Interesting to read this, as our 2023 1.5 TSi manual has stalled numerous times since we picked it up. No fault found at it's recent first service. I'd initially thought it was just an easy car to stall, but have on several occasions found the engine 'dead' when trying to pull away. The automated re-start cycle seems to take an eternity when it's stalled in a precarious place! Never had this issue with any number of manual petrol or diesel cars. The issues noted in the link above certainly resonate with me so I'll try a few tanks of E5👍 This had become such an issue I was keen to move the car on (or swop to an Auto) but recent used car prices falls mean this will be a hugely costly option.

New price!

The OEM front and rear wipers on my 2023 Karoq became noisy with a few months of delivery. Replacement Bosch blades all round and now silent in operation 👍

Glorious weather today 😎

All about the Snowdrops (@ Calke) today 🙂 I honestly never realised just how many varieties there are!

Just completed a very straightforward transaction with varaderoguy Highly recommended👍

Interesting - the A335H I purchased from eBay looked entirely different, although did donate it's blade to the OEM arm🤷‍♂️

The descending mist and sunset were a lovely combination earlier (taken with Samsung Galaxy S23)

Thank you 😊 I started my SLR journey with a Zenit, before moving to Praktica and then an Olympus. I remember the Zenit was fully manual and hugely noisy in operation. My first DSLR was a Nikon D50, for which I paid a friend £40! I then had a Sony A200 and lastly a Nikon D90.

Many thanks - food for thought 👍 I previously had a few DSLR's, but then migrated to Lumix Bridge cameras (currently FZ1000) and Lumix compacts (TZ70 & TZ100 currently) but am hankering after another DSLR.

A couple from a recent visit to Kedleston Hall............

Stunning picture(s) Mick - what kit do you use?

I opted to butcher the A335H and extract the blade! After a little experimentation I was fortunately able to non-destructively disassemble the OEM item and successfully translated the Bosch blade, which is silent in operation😀 Not easy to take apart, but pleased I avoided paying £28 for a sub-standard part👍 Hopefully Bosch will update their catalogue with the new part 🤞

I purchased the A335H from eBay, but unfortunately it does not fit my 2023 SE-L Karoq. The original (top & right) and A335H are below for comparison. The local main-dealer quoted £28 for OEM replacement, which I'm not keen to go with given the original has performed poorly (juddering) from just a few months old. Guessing I'll try one of the others mentioned above👍
