Got it booked in a week mon for door lock recall thingy

Yes , didn't open the door but it shouldn't have locked in the first place should it?

Hi all , Sitting in the petrol 1.6 Karoq 2023 today doing the crossword when it locked itself, well not quite , the doors locked but the mirrors did not turn in . pressed the unlock button on the key and it then unlocked , a minute later it did it again so pressed the key button and it unlocked. Thinking I had inadvertently pressed the button I put the keys on the dash and waited . Two minutes later it locked itself again. New key battery about a month ago but if it was that wouldn't it fail safe ? ie doors unlocked . The only other thing I noticed when looking around to see if the wife was near and playing with her key I noticed a VW Turog next but one up being loaded with shopping in the boot. Whats the chances of the VW key signals affecting mine? Or any other ideas of a cause?

Thats handy to know , Its still under the dealer warranty , another 5 months or so , I'll give them a call. Thanks

There was a message came up on the radio about a software update , last month , got it done over the air . I wonder if that was it?. If it was it didn't help.

Opened the Karoq 22 plate SE drive TSI the other night , then opened the bonnet to top up w/washers bottle and while doing so it locked itself. Bonnet open and key fob in pocket, should it do that ?. Once when drawing up to the fuel pumps it locked itself after I got out and could have been stuck there but for a key hidden underneath . It quite regularly refuses to acknowledge the key , even when pressing it as requested against the wallet? and only sees the key when I lock and unlock it a couple of times while sitting inside it . Any thoughts or ideas

Its a 22 reg petrol . I had to get brutal with them , 25mm hex heads on plastic studs , which had stripped the thread on the plastic bit and were giving the impression they were meant to be unclipped or something in a certain way. Hammer and screwdriver way was the only way I found . Two large zip ties are now there holding up the rear of the tray. just like yours but an extra 80/100 mm longer after the large torx screws at the rear drawing attached

How does the sump guard come off? There are 8 screws on the sides and 1 in the middle front, 3 large torx screws and 2 large plastic plugs at the rear . Its the plugs at the rear that I cant get off without cutting them off . Any clues any one ?

No issue here, only turns the engine off when stationary and brake hold has activated. Same here , no problem and in fact I quite like it.

Thanks for that , I was possibly expecting too much but its easier without the bonnet stay to latch/unlatch and now it doesn't get in the way when doing things under the bonnet.

Been following this thread and thought I need them. But after waiting a fortnight them 10mins fitting, adjusting the bonnet forward to allow the brackets to fit , I find I still have to lift the bonnet, or is that just wishful thinking that they would actually lift the bonnet on there own with no lifting from me ?

Is it not the Front Assist Distance Warning, you're too close to the car in front? .On my 2019 1.6d karoq its like a two car shape nose to nose . Back off a little and it disappears , this is adjustable on the menu

With hindsight we had trouble at the first call to the RAC , maybe they hadn't registered that we had broken-down because after 2 /3 hours we phoned again to see what was happening, things started to happen then ie a phone call to say someone was on their way and shouldn't be too long. Still took 2 hours after that before anyone turned up and its the injector he says £600 please. Ebay has them about £250/300 same make .

After sitting in a A1 layby last year for 4+ hours and paying £600 for a new injector in my old Octavia I.6 the RAC got the boot. Wish I'd known about Britannia.

I thought there were some models had a noise maker , unfortunately its not on mine . I would have turned it off. I think I'll need to look at the air feed pipes , Moving or a split somewhere. Need to chase up the stealer again. Another niggle is the headlight switch keeps turning the headlights to ON position, must be knocking it with my knee when getting in and out. Its just left on Auto normally.
