Seasider

I've no idea. I've had various messages about software updates being downloaded but there is never any reference to what was updated. The car has also had a service when the dealer would check for any outstanding downloads and download them. I would interpret 21.8 as maybe being August 2021, and as I took delivery of the car in June 2020 if my interpretation is right, then there must have been at least one earlier version installed.

Navigation database is 21.8. Does that answer the question?

Oops! lockdown lag, the car is mid-2020 and I'll check the mapping tomorrow.

Just a thought, the topic is about lane assist and not about when to indicate and when not to indicate.

As regards cruise control, I have only ever managed to engage it by accident.

Apologies for the delay, my car is mid 2021

My Amundsen offers me alternative routes automatically on the route map.

Recently, I've found lane assist less of a problem. Maybe I have got used to it or maybe there has been some sort of update to the system.

I've noticed the effect with the front windows down of an unpleasant feeling in the ears. Can happen at low or high speed, so not directly speed related. May be a combination of effects, vehicle speed, wind speed and direction, how far windows are down and whether they are down the same amount, even possibly effects of reflection of wind or sound waves from buildings.

Since refuelling resets on refuelling. I feel that 2,000 miles isn't very long for "long term".

A blast on the horn usually helps them on their way clear.

Yes, my Kamiq which I ordered in Jan/Feb, 2020, and was delivered in June, 2020, has a footrest like that, fixed, as you say, by a bolt screw. As a front passenger can put his/her feet wherever they please in the foot well as there are no pedals to obstruct them, a foot rest is surely unnecessary.

Checking, my passenger front seat is the same as yours. I must admit I have never tried to fold it flat but assumed that it went reasonably flat as on my recent Fabia Estate. As regards seat configurations, the Kamiq is not, of course, a hatchback but a small SUV, so we can't expect the seat configuration to be the same. As regards the difference between t boot floor and the ;level of the back of the rear seats folded down, that is much reduced if you have the variable boot floor fitted. (Actually, it's not so much variable as removable.) When choosing what to replace my Fabia Estate with, I test drove both the Scala and the Kamiq and the Scala had the best boot floor/rear seat back configuration, giving a long loading area and the top of the seat back level with the boot floor if I remember right, although the seat back sloped upwards so not an entirely flat loading area. However, I found the cabin area rather gloomy compared with the amount f light betting into the Kamiq cabin area.

You will probably need to have the seat as far forward as it will go too.

With my Kamiq, now 13 months old, I miss the ability to have a more or less flat extended loading area as I had with my Fabia estate where the back seat cushions could be folded up or removed entirely and the rear seat backs folded down. However, having the rear seat backs folded down in the Kamiq is better than nothing and if Skoda have discontinued this standard facility, it seems a pretty major adverse change. Check with you dealer.

I use D M Keith at York (although I bought the Kamiq from the Morecambe dealer thanks to a very good deal) and have done since the Pickering dealer (17 miles away) lost the dealership shortly after I bought a Fabia in 2011, and even though there is a Scarborough dealer npw. It's a round trip of about 90+ miles to York, but D M Keith's service is well worth it.

Your problem may be solved then. Who did you buy the car from?

I'm sorry, I can't help there. If you look closely at photo 5 in my post on 1st February, you will see that the bolts have an unusual pattern for tightening them up and I don' have the tools for that.

I think the lane assist is aimed at major roads and motorways which do have lane markings, hence, it doesn't come into operation until 40kph (38mph).

My 1.0 DSG Kamiq with some 2700 miles on the clock gives 54-56mpg on most runs of any length, otherwise largely in high 40s and even three miles into town from cold gives about 40mpg. Best typical run has been 61.3mpg, best overall, 67.4mpg, but not typical as it started on the top of Sutton Bank and was largely down hill.

The same thought occurred to me. Both use the MQB A0 platform, but the Scala's is a "stretched" version.

Parts don't appear to be available in the UK.

I recently installed the weather app in my Kamiq and I keep finding a notification that there is an update waiting to be downloaded in the Skoda shop. Presumably, it relates to the weather app, but when I tap on the notification it just takes me to the Skoda shop with no indication as to where to find the update. If I tap on the weather app, it just opens it.

Try the Skoda website. There are a number of videos there for owners, although I can't guarantee there is one on using the satnav

No problem, I'm glad I could help. Let us know how you get on.
