It is a bit confusing as various sellers contradict each other as to which flaps are correct and to compound matters in my instructions it states that 57A075111  fits without arch trims and the same number 57A075111 fits with arch trims (maybe error in the English translation?) but the packaging part number is 57A075111A  also the part number label on the package is also 57A075111A and these fit my Scout perfectly so in theory 57A075111 should be correct for a Karoq without arch trims.

 

Offer a flap up and you will soon see if it is not correct but it should be OK.

 

Thanks for that, I suspect that a bit of translation error is evident, but when the instructions clearly states that "57A075111 is for vehicles with plastic wheel trims PR-6EE" the only real option is to, as you say, offer one up and try it. Once the weather picks up, I'll get on with it. Don't suppose you have the part numbers either individually or as a set for the wheel arch trims do you, ?

 

 

Bought mine from Superskoda - half the price of the dealership and very clear instructions - fitting was a doddle and they were genuine Skoda parts.

Well, ordered my first set from Plymouth Skoda, genuine parts,  the non A variety therefore should have been correct but they didn't seem to fit correctly. Ordered another set, the A variety. Guess what, have a look at the photos attached and see if you can see the difference between them, then have a look at the part number.

 

If you look at your first picture the lug that locates under the sill where the lower screw fits is different between the two flaps the difference appears to be due to the relationship of the end cap of the sill cover and wheel arch trim where they meet which is different if there are no wheel arch trims, on my Scout with arch trims the "111A" flaps fit perfectly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Purchased these from SuperSkoda - Excellent service and perfect fit on my Karoq 1.5 SEL DSG. Doddle to fit and look good. Keeps the muck off the side very well.

Well someone is wrong somewhere as SuperSkoda state 57A075111  fits with arch trims - not on my Scout with arch trims which are 57075111A that was the correct part number when I bought them from SKODA PARTS IRELAND  but interestingly they are also now quoting  57075111A as the flaps without arch trims!

 

Plymouth Skoda centre have mud flaps https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-KAROQ-FRONT-MUDFLAPS-WITHOUT-ARCHES-BRAND-NEW-GENUINE-57A075111/183219005863?epid=4015922149&hash=item2aa8b429a7:g:ZDgAAOSwz4Fa9Clu which are  57A075111 (without arch trims) 

 

Go figure what is going on! 

Another fine day today so had a play.  Took the currently fitted ones off and fitted the other ones. Shock horror, they fitted! The difference between the two in photo one could be due to the angle. They lugs are both the same. Anyway, fitted the original ones again and there staying there!!! Well, until the wheelarch extensions arrive and then we'll go through some more shenanigans, probably!!!!!

So was it the  57A075111 part number that was correct for flaps without arch trims?

Well mine does not have arch trims and I had no issues at all fitting the set 57A075111A. 

 

If I had to put my name on a part, I'd go with the "A" designated number for mudgards for non wheel trim fitted vehicles. On playing with both types, the A part seemed to fit a little better around the block, see the picture below, but that's the only difference.

 

 

Judging by the confusion over the 2 different part numbers perhaps either will fit - sort of!

If you go to the SuperSkoda website it is very clear. The 57A075111A type is for Karoq without wheelarch protectors and the 57A075111 is for Karoq with wheelarch protectors.

Am I reading you right? You're saying the lugs are the same?

 

Is it just the angle of the photo you took? The lugs look very different between the A and non-A version to me (circled in red)?

 

Agreed they look different at that point, there has to be a difference somewhere manufacturers do not normally give different part numbers to the same part to fit two different applications.

Hi Canders, I've done the rears - no problems, though one of the pins on the rivet was fairly difficult to push in, given the limited space to work in.

I'll set about the fronts tomorrow but note that you have removed the section of trim that is photographed in your hand. Did you find this necessary to remove in order to fit the mudflap and, if that is the case, how did you remove it?

Many thanks.

You don`t have to remove the sill end cap as the flap is shaped to fit over it, when fitting the rivets use a little WD40 or wet them with saliva it helps the pins to move.

OK, thanks for that. I used a drop of washing-up detergent on the rivets as suggested in an earlier post. The first one was fine, the second one was really quite stiff and I wonder if might have been easier if I had cleaned the hole in the trim first instead of just feeling for it to check that it was there.

Afternoon, as Delanor said, no need to remove, I did as initially I couldn't get a close fit, but that was when I was playing with the two different models, the A and the NOT A! The end cap just pulls off, it is best to do this when warm as a cold plastic trim is more likely to snap. The plastic rivets are designed to be a tight fit, if you do lubricate the pin, best to do so with something like washing up liquid, that way, once a bit of moisture is present it could wash away and maintain the friction to keep in place. If an oil based or ptfe lubricant is used, they are designed to remain "slippery" for a long time, and although unlikely, the possibility remains that the pin could work loose.

I found the rivet pins were really tight even with WD40 and I had to tap them in with a small hammer and as the rivet expands once set they will not come out again. 

I initially couldn't get mine in at all, but with washing up liquid, they could be pushed in, albeit with a little bit of force, thankfully hammer not needed. !!

Of course they will, you have to to remove any of those type of fixings without destroying it, you simply drift the pin through the outer. You will probably lose it if your eyes are like mine but the pin can be replaced by plenty of other things lying around the workshop, garage or shed.

Of course they will, 

The discussion was referring to the possibility of the pins coming out of their own accord. 

 

I did the front ones this morning and the suggestion of 15mins each would be fair enough if you had everything at hand, didn’t have arthritic thumb joints and could lie down, kneel down spring up, kneel down again etc like an 18yr old. And, as usual whenever I do a job, I ended up with every tool box in the garage spread out round me! Fortunately, I had a new sharp 6mm drill bit and could do most of the boring by turning with my leather-gloved hand though I did discover that the inside holes to be drilled could be reached by my Makita. To get optimal access, I had to switch steering lock several times. The push-pin rivets  (Fairy Liquid lubricated) were dealt with very effectively by pushing the pin in using the head of a small tack-hammer grasped in my hand - I didn't have to resort to actually hammering.

 

My Karoq doesn't have the plastic wheel-arch trims so I used 57A075111A on the front. I had initially ordered those without the suffix A from Burns Ireland in January and, because of the inclement weather, hadn't got round to fixing them. By the time I came to use them, Burns had swapped the specification on their website after their earlier mistake; they exchanged them without question - it was their error, but I was a bit miffed at having to pay the postage. I am now wondering if Burns error stemmed from that printed on the Skoda instruction sheet [SKODA - SIMPLY not very CLEVER]

 I have just noticed that as the instructions supplied quotes in English the same flap part number for with and without wheel arch extensions that is a printing error as in the other languages  57A075111 is for with (arch extension PR-6EE) and 57A075111A for without (arch extension PR-6EA)  but PR-6EE & PR-6EA  refers to the sill cover part on which the flap sits so the arch trims have no effect on the fitting its all down to the sill cover.

 

Now with arch trims the sill cover and arch trim is all one piece, without trims the sill cover is separate but why the different flap numbers as the actual wheel arch trim is not touched by the flap and unless the cover part where the sill actually sits is a different size somehow I see no reason why as the complete sill cover would have to be different to match.

 

  This is my Scout fitted with front flap part no 57A075111A as the correct part listed and supplied by Burns when I bought them before Xmas, you can see it fits and the flap only locates over the sill cover and doesn`t touch the arch trim, its the same in the picture where there is no arch trims so I cannot see why the 2 flaps would need to be different.

 

If there was any doubt I certainly would not have fitted them had the fit not been good.
