When purchasing my car 4×4 with 190 hp in May, a cover was above the engine like almost all vehicles from the company. When the vehicle was picked up 2 weeks later, the cover was removed, as according to Skoda there is a fire risk in the slightly foamed cover (see photo). According to the dealer, a solution by Skoda is to be worked on. Now, after a few months, I directly asked Skoda and got the answer today. The engine cover of the ŠKODA KAROQ with the 2.0 l 140 kW TSI engine with all-wheel drive and direct gear transmission (DSG) is omitted at the beginning of 2022. Since this is the standard condition, the manufacturer, ŠKODA AUTO a.s., does not supply any engine cover. I find this reaction simply outrageous, because on the one hand I have paid for the cover available at the time of purchase, on the other hand everything is now unprotected open and possibly also lacks some insulation. The information of the dealer turned out to be a lie. Sure, I have no way to change something on the actual condition, but maybe someone here knows if a different cover made of hard plastic fits from corporate relatives or someone knows how to get the original cover.

My Karoq has had a very low cooling water level several times in recent times. Under the vehicle no water residues are visible. In the workshop the cooling system was tested under pressure, there were no leaks visible. My previous observation is, the problem occurred after a longer motorway ride, the morning after then the red cooling water indicator lights up and there is actually about 300 ml missing. The cooling water temperature was always in the normal range of approx. . 90° and during the ride nothing was displayed, as said only in the morning after. The cooling water in the container looks completely normal, no streaks or lubricating. Also the oil looks completely normal at my discretion, not muddy or foamy. I also did not observe any unusual smoke development (which is also difficult during the ride as a driver). The vehicle is 6 years old and has driven about 80tkm. Since the Skoda workshop could not really help me so far, I would like to know if others also know these symptoms and if they know a solution.

Hello Together, I ordered a Karoq drive 125, 150 HP, DSG on 19.6.. The friendly informs me of a delivery date in November 2020. What are your experiences. Is this realistic or can it be delivered sooner or later (hopefully not)? Thank you for your answers Dieter
