12v sockets weren't working.

Do you mind me asking what the problem turned out to be?

One day whilst topping it up I noticed that it said 'inside' on the sidewall facing me.

It's really concerning that a tyre fitter can fit an Asymmetric tyre the wrong way round. Mind you, not as bad as seeing a car with Directional treads facing the wrong way.

The engine has an uneven idle for about 10 seconds just after starting. It could be a software.issue, but I've not had it.looked at as it goes away before the Android Auto connection is made and I've set off anyway.

Think the chances of your average main dealer being able to fix this are rather remote. Living with it is the best option.

Always good to read a genuine review and appraisal. Interesting point about the fuel filler flap. Vag models have changed from a plunger pin type lock to a rotary device. Always in trouble now.

That's exactly it - it's like a T profile that rotates when depressed. Very sensitive to getting gummed up or frozen.

Same type that my car has. Not had a problem with it, but it might be because I keep my car garaged at home and park in a sheltered multi-storey at work. Do you know if it's the T profile that sticks in the flap, or is it the T profile that sticks where it comes out of the body?

Glad you're liking and getting on well with the car.

12v socket was either there are two fuses or I'm an i**** and changed the wrong one.

Yes, the tyre was a bit weird. I think it was brand new, so the dealer had probably done. The service rep looked extremely annoyed (not at me) when I pointed it out. It's kind of embarrassing ths they do these 'x hundred point' checks and missed two very easy ones.

The 1.5 TSI had an issue with hesitancy that was supposedly fixed by a software update. Some people say the update fixed it, others say it did nothing. I know mine has had the update, and I think this idling issue is a residual effect of that.. It annoyed me at first, then I realised it is completely inconsequential and it no longer bothers me at all. As I said. It stops before I set off unless I decide to play getaway driver.

With the fuel filler lock, I presume that pressing the flap is supposed to push the latch in turn, causing it to twist open. I think the mechanism of the latch (i.e. the bit sticking out of the body) probably gets stuck and doesn't twist. Whenever it's happened.to me, a sharp whack with my hand is enough to release it. It comes up a lot on the Karoq Facebook page and the advice there is always to lubricate it. Apparently, when it's very cold, the headlight washers can pop out and the doors can even misalign and jam. I live in the south west, so never been cold enough to experience either.
