Skoda Kodiaq rear right wheel arch cover lump

[stjorge]

Hi everyone,

 

I own a 2019 1.5 petrol 150 Hp 2WD Skoda Kodiaq. I' ve recently noticed a lump (or bulge, if that descibes it more accuratelly) on the wheel arch of the right rear wheal. It is located at the rear part of the arch, right above the mud cover. It's not symmetrical i.e. the rear left side wheal arch is completely "flat". Has anyone else noticed anything similar on their kodiaq?

 

Thanks a lot

Strange ! Mine is a 2018 4WD but I have no lumps or bulges. A picture might help people understand better.

Is the “ lump or bulge” at the back of the rear offside wheel arch liner not there to accommodate the fuel tank filler pipe?

Even if it’s not I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Thanks a lot for the replies! I am uploading some pics from the "lumpy" rear right wheel arch:

OK so this is the lump or bulge I am talking about. It does make sense that it could be the fuel tank filler pipe under there. I just had to ask the forum if anyone else had noticed this in their own kodiaq. I will ask my mechanic during the anual service next month.

Mine has a more pronounced bump in that location. Bigger and squarer but for certain different to the other side.

Thanks lowedb, that is helpful

Yep I have one as well, didn't realise you meant inside the wheel arch. It's moulded into the wheel arch liner, so it's obviously meant to be there. I don't really care what it's for .

Why not stick your phone under and slightly behind there and take a photo upwards to see what it's bending round?

Well mines a diesel with SCR, so maybe on mine the AdBlue tank hides there?

Mine has the 'lump', but mine is petrol.

 

It's unlikely Skoda produce different wheelarch liners for different configurations, especially the rears.

Though I'd tend to agree, mine definately looks different to the OPs. As I described, it's squarer and larger. I'll try to take a photo at some point.
