Karoq Instrument Panel & Servicing Generally

Featured Replies

I decided to have my MY2019 Karoq 1.0 SE Tech DSG serviced and MOT'd at a local garage, who had impressed me last year when they did the MOT. Previously, servicing had always been by the Walthamstow Skoda Dealers, who to be fair had on the whole been pretty good, but my All-in-Ones, Warranties etc. finally expired last year.

My car has the non digital speedo & rev counter instruments, but the display in between - forget the name - is digital and seemingly has various setting options. The car came back from service with a different setting, now displaying a big friendly speedo character. I'd rather have what I had before (can't recall all the exact features) but I can't see in my handbook, how to choose the options. Can anyone help?

If I'd gone to the Skoda Dealers, they would have changed the brake fluid, as the car is 7 years old (44,000miles) and that's what the service schedule says, but my new garage tested the fluid and said it was fine and not needing topping up - so that saved some money. I noted last year that the Skoda Dealer was previously (2 years ago) suggesting that I'd soon need new brake pads (identified by their MOT place), but my new garage said the pads were fine and the car passed the MOT last year and this, no problem. The new garage said they'd look at the air filter too, even though not due for replacement and must have decided to change it. Car economy seemed to improve a little after the service, so not unhappy.

I found a 2nd good garage locally, who had replaced the shock absorbers with Konis - Special Active that I supplied them with, a few months ago. i thought the workmanship charge reasonable and they noted that the brake pads had plenty of wear left and were OK (that's why I trust them too), but did comment they rattle around a little in the calipers, which i notice only when the windows are open. They said there are better makes that fit better and don't rattle - I forgot to write down the names.
