Paddie 3rd Gear July 27, 2018 Share July 27, 2018 Just to check with you all, is the free servicing 3 years means 1 year 1 time servicing? like that is good enough for the car? i doubt so as i still feel every 6 month or 10k should change engine oil I think a car manufacturer should know what is good for its vehicles. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelicious 3rd Gear July 27, 2018 Share July 27, 2018 Its based on the 2013 Octavia which is already running well in EU and Middle East, and its a GTI engine, with the 7 speed wet DSG . So when you combine all these up you can see it already reduce the common issues of piston crack + DSG uplorry. I am not saying its gonna be 100% faultless as there is no such thing in a car, but the chances of vRS with the combi of these parts, in theory, are much more reliable as proven by the sibling car models that use these parts. oohh. thanks for the feedback! is it available in both auto and manual? how's the running cost in terms of FC? maybe go check it out tomorrow.

Only Auto. FC i duuno i also havent collect the car but online review mention 14-16km/l , however their weather is cooling so might help... I think for us shld get 13-14km/l which is good enough for such engine of better power 2.0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator July 28, 2018 Author Share July 28, 2018 first day FR.. headache.. gentle press of the gas and the car surges. Driver needs to upgrade firmware That is a good problem to have. I suggest you do the following : - Find an open car park to practice, get yourself familiarize with the car, in term of it size, blind spot, gas and brake pedal response, etc. - Disable the auto hold function, so that you will not need to press a little harder when moving off (which could have cause the surge) - It is OK to drive slower (and stop exploring other functions of the car) initially while getting use to the car, think of the time you just pass your driving test... 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvinng8 1st Gear July 28, 2018 Share July 28, 2018 I think this is purely sales talk. As long as its dry clutch use by 1.4 and below models except tiguan, ateca, kodiaq, it will not work well in our start stop traffic. I believe the gearbox model is DQ200 which is dry and has issue. Got this from one of SA - model number for the gearbox. Wet clutch for Kodiaq. Not sure the other models. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoldjaffa Hypersonic July 29, 2018 Share July 29, 2018 Got this from one of SA - model number for the gearbox. Wet clutch for Kodiaq. Not sure the other models.Great info. Thanks! But got typo in that article. DQ-250 in the green column should be 7F. This is for the 2L variant cos the 1.4 uses the 6-speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixus75 3rd Gear July 29, 2018 Share July 29, 2018 Got this from one of SA - model number for the gearbox. Wet clutch for Kodiaq. Not sure the other models. kodiaq 1.4 should be wet gearbox DQ250. other 1.4 and below should be all dry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic July 29, 2018 Share July 29, 2018 (edited) kodiaq 1.4 should be wet gearbox DQ250. other 1.4 and below should be all dry Yep you're right. Kodiaq 1.4 is using the 6-spd wet which is the more reliable ones compared to the other 1.4 and below variants in the VAG family using dry clutch.
