Installing piggy back fuse to power a GPS tracker

Followers

15 June, 202515 Jun

Looking to install a GPS tracker unit connected to a permanent feed fuse. I will make the connection by selecting an always on fuse to piggyback on (probably fuse 21) . Question is where is the best location from the fusebox to connect the earth? I am driving a RHD version with fusebox behind the glovebox. Any photos to help locate would be super useful - Thanks in advance for any help

I usually either find a bolt in metal under there or drill a little hole and put a ring on the wire and screw it down on that.

Northcoastnobes · 31 March31 Mar

I have owned my Karoq 140TSI Sportline for a few months now, and there is only one thing that bugs me. I travel on motorways a lot in Australia, where we drive on the left side of the road. When I am driving in the left or middle lane with the ACC operational, I notice that the ACC will match the speed of the vehicle in the next lane over (either the middle or the rightmost). This is very frustrating, as they pose no threat and it is lawful to pass on the inside on a motorway. If I hit the acce

Fans running on after engine stopped

Fans running on after engine stopped

lippy427 · 6 hours ago6 hr

Hi, I have a '2025 Kodiaq purchased March this year. Car first registered last May and was a Skoda vehicle and had covered approx 5000 miles when I bought it. It's been fine all this time except yesterday when I turned the engine off one or more fans continued to run - and they sounded like they were running at top speed. It was only a 15 min journey and the weather wasn't that hot. It did the same again travelling back home. Did wonder if maybe doing a regen, so running hotter, but have been

Intermittent jerks after a few kilometres of driving followed by Error codes

ptapaskar · 1 August, 20251 Aug

Hello All, I recently purchased a 2018 Skoda Kodiaq style Diesel. After about a month of purchase while driving in traffic the vehicle gave intermittent jerks a few times and this stopped. Later after another kilometer or so the Glow plugs and ESC error code started flashing followed by a park assist code. Reverse camera stopped working. The idle RPM went up from 900 to 1200 RPM. However the codes went away and the RPM was back to 900 after stopping and restarting the engine. The mechanic did

Looking to buy a vRS TSI - how can I tell the difference between the 227BHP and 242BHP?

Sinbad1900 · 4 hours ago4 hr

I’ve seen two cars on Autotrader, both 2018 and the technical and details in the ads suggest one is 227 BHP and the other is 242. Both appear to be the facelift variant, based on the split front headlights. Is there any other way of confirming the engine BHP apart from relying on the advert contents? Thanks
