I am thinking of changing my car to a Skoda Karoq 190 ps 2 litre petrol engine 4 wheel drive with a Dsg gearbox. I have previously towed using an Audi Q3 TDI 184 bhp 4 wheel drive automatic and was wondering if the Karoq was a suitable vehicle as it is not a Diesel engine. I would welcome some feedback from other people…
I have just taken delivery of a nearly new V 40. The Mickey Mouse "Supplement" to the owner's manual found in the glove box, has several pages devoted to fitting and using a towbar.

Does anyone have any experience of the longer term reliabilty of the Passat DSG…
Yesterday I took my Mondeo automatic on a decent run at speed to both put some charge in the battery and to burn off deposits in the exhaust. This morning the car won't start. It is as though the battery is dead, (2 year old battery). I keep the car in my garage but because of the car's length the front of the bonnet is…

What are people's thoughts, particularly with regard…
