Re: Rattle from dash area

Seems your answer is in Paulio’s thread 02/01/2022. Certainly a good starting point. Let the forum know how you get on.

Re: Reset the oil service on skoda kamiq

I certainly don’t think it can be done from the ‘in car’ menu system. Authorised dealers have dedicated diagnostic pc’s that can reset it or there are spurious hand held units that can talk to most makes of cars. Find a friendly local garage that may be willing to reset it for you or look at purchas...

Re: Front Assist

If you enter the menu programme you can adjust the sensitivity of the system (a few pre-sets I think)

Re: Car cut out

By pass the dealer & write to Skoda UK (copy the dealer, that will scare the crap out of them) & include the article to Skoda that you’ve posted on the forum. It might make Skoda listen a bit more. Have you sufficient evidence to contact the motoring ombudsman?.

Re: Brake query

Jrif I would go to your dealer armed with photos on this forum & insist it’s a Skoda problem (I agree with the post office scenario ) Demand to see the service mngr (receptionist are robots programmed to give fixed responses). You won’t get all the costs due to mileage already covered but a cont...

Re: Oil change

Many thanks for sharing your experience, even more convinced that I don’t need to change the oil.
Just wish the dealerships were a little more knowledgeable.

Re: Oil change

Early investigation seems to indicate it’s “for life gear oil” & should only be renewed if the gearbox is stripped for any reason. A colleague working on reception in a VW garage said the T-ROC is sealed for life so we’re assuming as the Kamiq is a t-roc in disguise (they’re from the same stable...

Oil change

Has anyone experience of oil changes on their Kamiq. I’m looking at getting an oil change on my DSG auto gearbox. Although with less than 12k on the clock I do lots of short journeys so the gearbox works hard. I know the oil is not cheap (I had the oil change on my auto merc 4yrs ago total cost at m...

Re: Windscreen wipers shuddering across windscreen

Mine has been perfect now 3.5yrs from new, no problems at all. There is definitely something on the surface of the screen. Try a very strong solution of good quality car shampoo (glass only not on bodywork). If that doesn’t work try a gentle rubbing of white spirit on a soft cloth & as a last re...
