Last night I placed an order on a new Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSI manual and I’m really looking forward to having it,
One thing that I’m unsure about is having the auto hold feature?
As it already had an electric parking brake, what would be the point in having an auto hold button next to it?
I’ve used an electric handbrake before and found it works well but surely the electric handbrake is all you need, or am I missing something here?
Help me decide which car is the best option,
I can buy a new Škoda Kamiq in SE L trim with a 1.5 TSI engine , including a spare wheel for £25,000.
The Karoq is available in a SE trim 1.5 TSI , no spare wheel for £25,550
Both cars are 6 speed manual,
I appreciate the Karoq has a bigger boot but in terms of quality, driving experience and value for money,
which car would be the better choice and why?
I have the same battery in my MK2 duster from new - 2019
I recently had it tested and it’s about 77% full capacity.
It’s done well to last over 6 years,
When I read about this online it’s recommended to replace the battery when its capacity drops to around 70%.
Do you think it should be replaced?>! !<
Has anyone replaced and upgraded the infotainment screens on their Dacia duster?
I’ve seen a few YouTube videos online and wonder if there be a benefit in doing so ?

My Eversolo has just stopped working with Spotify today and won’t connect through Spotify app.
It’s very annoying as I thought Eversolo had fixed this issue a while back and it’s starting to happen again.
Not acceptable for something that costs so much.
Never had any problems with my old blue sound node
So recently I drove a Skoda Kamiq 1.0 TSI 116bhp and I thought the 3 cylinder engine was quite noisy compared to my 4 cylinder 1.3 duster tce
Has anyone compared the Skoda 1.0 TSI 3 cylinder to the 1.5 TSI 4 cylinder and did you think the 1.5 engine was quieter ?
So after a fairly disappointing experience with a new Dacia duster Journey yesterday,
I have decided to return it and pay a bit extra for hopefully a better quality car in the Skoda Kamiq SE L 1.5 TSI
my old MK2 Dacai Duster that I owned new from 2019 has been really good with no problems.
The new duster 3 cylinder engine is noisy and slower and generally feels like a downgrade from my old 1.3 tce engine.
But of the biggest problems is the rattling noise from the A pillar dashboard area that I encountered just after 30 minutes of driving.
I have read reports that the Kamiq does this too?
Has anyone else noticed or heard rattling or squeaking noises coming from the dashboard in Kamiq?
Any input would be appreciated as I hope I can put this bad experience behind me and move forward with a much better car in the Kamiq 🤞
So today I drove my new duster Journey and I was disappointed to discover that the car suffers from an annoying buzzing sound whilst driving.
It seems to be coming from the corner pillar on the drivers side next to the dashboard .
others have mention this and I had hoped it was just an isolated case.
It doesn’t give much confidence to be experiencing problems like this on day one and I don’t know if it’s easy to fix or if my dealer is actually prepared to sort the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Does anyone know what’s going on with the SVS auto - EQ update?
At the beginning of the year they said it was weeks away from being released but now we are into May and there’s still nothing.
I feel more sorry for the people that invested in SVS almost 2 years ago and bought the SB17 or 5000 when it was promised back then.
I’ve only owned my SB3000 Revolution for about 6 weeks and its dialled in pretty well but I would very much like to use this new - promised software update and I’m beginning to get a little bit annoyed with constantly waiting and being told it’s just around the corner!
SVS make great subwoofers but i feel they have let customers down with this failed promise that sometimes feels like it’s never going to actually happen.
I’ve just bought a new Dacia Duster and was wondering about any upgrades or additions to the car that might be worth having.
I bought the rubber boot liner as I think this is must with any family car,
I had been looking to add mud flaps , has anyone got these and are they worth buying?
Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in advance
I’ve just bought a new Dacia Duster Journey mild Hybrid and I’m looking for a boot liner,
There are quite a few on eBay but it keeps saying not compatible with my Dacia?
Someone is even selling one because it doesn’t fit there Journey and they said it’s only compatible with the expression and extreme trim?
Has anyone had this problem and managed to find one that fits the Journey?
So I’ve been looking at replacing my Dacia duster prestige 2019 mk2 for a new duster Journey with the mild hybrid engine but one thing that concerns me is the new engine is actually a smaller 3-cylinder over my my current mk2 duster that has a 4-cylinder engine and slightly more torque.
Has anyone compared both of these engines and is the new one actually better?
I’m looking at buying a Skoda Kamiq and have been comparing different trims,
I prefer the 1.5L engine variant but unfortunately it comes in higher spec trims like the SE L and Monty Carlo.
The Monty Carlo comes with a panoramic glass roof, it looks really nice but in wonder how practical it is?
My concern is that on really bright/sunny days it might be too much for rear passengers ,
Also from a reliability perspective is it easy to brake?
And are they prone to leaks?
Just looking online at the new duster that is being sold in India and it looks to be quite an upgrade over the European version with better engines and interior design etc.
Personally I think this is a little unfair that in Europe we have to accept a cheaper version with inferior engines and infotainment systems,
Especially as one of the main complaints with the duster is its budget design, I’m sure most people would prefer to have the option to buy this better specced variant.
What do you think?
I’ve got an annoying speaking sound when press the brake pedal on my 2019 mk2 Dacia duster,
It’s only seems to squeak when the engine is running rather than when it’s stationary.
Any idea what it could be?
