I got told that the door protectors would be removed as it would no longer be standard as my Škoda was from a new build date not offering this. I then asked how I could purchase this as an extra option.  It that was not possible, as it hadn’t gotten a partnumber yet. So even if I knew, there was nothing I could do about it. Seems unfair that things are removed after a signed contract with specific accessories. I see no harm in upgrades, but downgrades is a no go.

Removable as in the owner can remove it from the boot, not Skoda removing it from the standard specification.

I know that, Roy, that was the joke.

 

"A 2-3 year old Kodiaq won't be the exact same spec as a factory fresh one. The point of this thread is to highlight the changes / differences..."

 

Again, my point was to highlight that other manufacturers competing against Skoda have maintained the same level of equipment throughout the lifetime of the model, and even added to it, whereas Skoda choose to penny pinch whenever they can, no doubt to offset the rising costs to VAG for Dieselgate.

 

It is also all the more galling that they chose to remove an item that featured so prominently in press reviews and their Simply Clever campaign.

Just became a part of the family pack. Annoyingly Skoda New Zealand nor my dealer notified me that it became part of the (new for NZ) family pack for like $350, would’ve gotten it just cause it was so cheap.

Just bought new Kodiac Style with adventure pack in September. I was wondering does anybody know if the wiring loom is in the mirror for puddle lights? There is a clip off cover on the mirror......and it is possible to purchase the lights. We were alittle disappointed here also with respect to spec change......1 umberella, no recharchable light in the boot and no puddle lights in mirrors. Written in small print is SUBJECT TO CHANGE....BLAH BLAH...If anybody could shed some light.....on wiring loom I would be very greatful

 

Many thanks

From comments in this similar post it seem highly unlikely that the wires will be there.
