Oil For 110 Exec Auto 2022 model

Hi, the handbook just tells me to use real oil ( thanks for that ) , I do need to top the oil up slightly but the Halfords database doesn't have my model entered yet.

Does anyone know which grade to use - thank you

Re: Executive 110 Auto with M1 setting

I did search through both the supplied handbook and the one displayed on the screen.

It was not mentioned in either nor were Skoda customer support able to help other than say some handbooks are generic and may not supply all information.

Your reply was incredibly unhelpful and cheeky l.

Executive 110 Auto with M1 setting

Last week I accidentally knocked by Auto gear stick to the right and was surprised to find it had gone into an M1 mode which I assume to be a manual gear.

I can't find mention of it in the handbook so I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across it.

Thank you

Re: Scary incident. Auto Brake.

Hi my red warning light has come on several times when nothing in front. Just as puzzling my distance warning symbol came in while I was on the motorway with nothing in front but refused to come on when I was testing it by tailgating a friend. I was told by a franchise that the system has been vigor...

Re: Kamiq 110 2022 Executive Front Assist

Well I was starting to feel a bit exasperated continually being told that there was nothing wrong with the car systems. The dealership the sold my car couldn't see it until late November so I took it to a more local Skoda dealership. And anyway the guy who sold me the car has left the company. Howev...

Re: Kamiq 110 2022 Executive Front Assist

Hi nothing wrong with being a careful driver. I've already tried coming up at speed behind my friend's car and ended up have to apply the brakes myself. No proximity warnings with yellow or red and no brakes applied by the car. I also tried a pedestrian test yesterday by mounting to cardboard boxes ...

Re: Kamiq 110 2022 Executive Front Assist

Have either your brakes - red warning light or brakes ever activated ?

If so, can you remember the situation? Many thanks

Kamiq 110 2022 Executive Front Assist

I'm not sure mine is working properly although both a mobile mechanic and a Skoda Franchise said they could find no errors when they did a software scan. Perhaps I'm expecting too much from it but the only time the red warning has displayed ( around 4 times ) is when there has been nothing in front ...

Re: Tyre pressures

Hi I'm currently keeping the pressure at 32 - the rude still feels firm but the handling has not been affected.

I stuck to 36.5 for the long journey home

Tyre pressures

After some research I decided to reduce the pressure in my tyres from the advised 36.5 to 31psi. Obviously the ride has improved greatly and handling remains fine. Given the the Kamiq shares the same platform - and has a similar weight to a Golf - I'm still at a loss to understand the higher pressur...
