Resurrecting an old thread here.... but how do users upload images to their posts on here, eg: For Sale threads?
Photobucket is no-longer free for hosting, the "xs" site listed in this thread...
This can be attributed to either the extra weight of the AWD system, or more likely, the lag due to the bigger turbo.
The IS38 turbos (Golf R/Superb 206) are noticeably slower to spool for...
I had a waterpump/oil cooler failure when my car was 2 weeks old. Yes, 2 weeks!!!
Replaced/repaired under warranty.
Yours is definitely another warranty case, as mentioned above.
DON'T go...
Interesting question.
I've done the same recently, with my current RS (RS162) wagon, GolfR Grid, Superb 206, and Tiguan 162.
Ultimately, what do you want from the car, and how much are you...
1-gazillion% this comment.
I wasn't after a freebie because my ice-scraper was missing.
I was after a goodwill gesture of perhaps 1 (maybe more) services may be subsidised, since my brand-new...
Well I got my car back on Tuesday, 2.5weeks after first dropped to service.
Happy with the results, in that it's no longer sounding like my rattly old Subaru, but unhappy with Skoda Australia...
The car has done 57k km.... not 157k! SERIOUS engineering problem (or extreme bad luck) if the chain/timing componenets have worn out before the cars first "major"service.
Well I can confirm that my Mk3 has some sort of fault in the timing gear, and they are replacing both tensioners (apparently there's 2), all guides & the chain, under warranty.
I haven't got the car...
This is pretty concerning, as my car is a 2016 Mk3 RS Octavia (CHHB), and over the last 5000km or so (it's just gone 57000km), it's had the startup rattling, like rattly old tappets or a loose chain....
You're kidding ? :O
Well if that's the case, just as well it has AA/CP connectivity to mobile phones !
So for those of us who have the original OBD11 dongle, will it continue to work, or are they phasing out support for it, in favour of the newer version?
I wish it was easier to just select Australia only, instead of being ALMOST THE ENTIRE WORLD ... there is NO reason we should have to d/l 23GB worth, when the Aussie maps I'm sure would be maybe 2GB...
I realise that - I was questioning how something in steering can affect throttle?
I know how it works, and I agree that engineers surely wouldn't deliberately design an inherent flaw such as this.... but I was unsure if there was a separate oil pump/active lubrication in the DSG...
I'm curious on the settings you're wanting to change
How does something in steering-assistance module, affect turbo lag?
What does this setting do exactly?
Sigh...... and if my posts were actually read in their entirety, I've made it clear several times that I'm not talking just about the change in engine revs, when shifting D to N while stopped. I...
While they are all very good examples, they don't count for the experiences (backed up by documented evidence elsewhere) that I described in my original post. Aircon kicking in is NOT the reason why...
You clearly didn't read my original reply on here. And I knew someone would try to negate the opinions of many other people who describe the exact same behaviour and concerns, as being "the internet...
Read my reply above !!!
There is commonly-documented evidence throughout the internet, which indicates the plates do NOT disengage fully..... this is why some of us go into Neutral.
I've read elsewhere (can't remember where) that it's advised NOT to shift to Neutral in DSG cars, as the oil-pump in the gearbox will stop pumping in Neutral - thereby possibly causing damage...
The problem is exactly that mindset, that SUVs are ONLY for families. Some of us want them for practical or health-related reasons, not for the 2nd (or 3rd) row of seats, but I'm a boy-racer at heart...
Go to Volkswagen Map & Softwareupdates
This is the VW site for satnav updates.
This site doesn't require a VIN, so it appears to be "unlocked" so anyone can d/l the appropriate updates.
Just make...
Where does it say this?
I was wondering this too? How do modern cars just get stolen, when immobilisers are factory fitted?
(Not having a go at the OP..... sorry to hear of the incident)
Is it a case of these...
