Released in 2019, the Kamiq shares similarities with the Kodiaq and Karoq and is the smallest of Skoda’s SUV range. Don’t let the size fool you, this compact SUV is packed full of clever features that maximise space and offer the clever comforts that Skoda has become known for.

The Kamiq is a front wheel drive and powered by a 1 or 1.5 litre turbo petrol engine. The main competition is BMWs X1 or the Audi Q3, but these have significantly higher price points giving the Kamiq a hold over the lower price premium market.

Problems with the Skoda Kamiq?

As with all cars it is essential that you maintain regular services and routine maintenance to ensure you are driving a safe, reliable car and identify any potential problems early on. Here are some common problems that you may encounter with the Skoda Kamiq.

Software Fault

Skoda stopped selling the Kamiq on the Australian market for a time due to a software fault that caused persistent error messages to be displayed. The cause of this was a delay between airbag signal and the engine control due to the different layout of international models. This issue has been rectified, but if you are having any trouble with your car then we always suggest bringing it in and have an expert assess the problem.

Excessive oil consumption

There have been some reports of excessive oil consumption with the Kamiq. While this may not cause an immediate problem, it is something to be aware of, as driving with inadequate oil levels can cause serious problems. Auto Studio can replace your oil at your next service and ensure there are no bigger problems at the cause.

Fuel pump

The fuel pump is an essential part of the engine and it’s possible for them to fail from time to time. Signs of a problem with your fuel pump can include any of the following symptoms, difficulty starting; misfires and or decreased power; whining noises from the fuel tank and loss of power.
