Brake pedal soft but brakes fine. Doesn't pump up, no fluid leak - air in system or master cylinder problem?

Also to add "Isn't the pumping hard with the engine off just depleting the servo vacuum though, nothing to do with compressing the air in the system by ramming more fluid in?"
Yes, I'm sure it is. But the differance is the ABS unit is off. I can only report the symptoms I had and I think it is because the ABS pump is not in an active state, valves in it closed etc.
I can only report what happened in practise until someone with confirmed knowledge tells me why.
The thing is if it was seals in the master cyclinder then the same seals would let by with the engine off, yes I can see more foot pressure needed as you'd have no servo assist but the pedal would not be rock solid with hard pressure even with the engine off.

Amazed Skoda has become so BAD..

Certainly the DSG in ours drives just fine. It changes up just about as early as is reasonable, and I think the downchange on braking from speed is something it's supposed to do.

The only time I've ever used Sport or manual changes in ours is for experimentation - I've never felt the need to use them in normal use.

Maybe newer cars are a bit different - could the OP have a more sporty mode being used by default in the driver profile (or drive mode)?

Ash load in DPF

Interesting, with my car i have done some "preventive" maintenance and it would seem that dpf cleaning is one thing to consider also.

As I said earlier i have now almost 250kkm or 155t miles on the dash and the dpf is original and never been cleaned before.

I dont have any symptoms yet with dpf clogging but maybe im asking when would i need to do that job? When the regens happen more frequently and there is a dpf warning light on the dash, maybe?

I have now and then checked with obd11 the distance last travelled before a regen has occured and i would say its in between 250-400km depending of my everyday driving trips. Is this normal distance between regens?

In the Octavia 3 its a big job to get the dpf out of the engine bay, you have to drop the subframe, thank god i dont have all-wheel drive, even more job involved.
