Echo others above, I'm at 35mpg long term after 2 years. A long motorway trip fully loaded will see me get 40/42mpg without trying too hard. B roads to work (I live rural), depends how late I am, 28-39mpg, usually 35mpg. Without trying to go either slow or quick I always end up around the 33/35mpg mark. Mine is 220 dsg.

The only time I find a little frustrating is in normal coming in and out my estate, it's very twisty and lots of parked cars. The dsg will often (in normal mode) constantly flick between 2nd and 3rd. I just reach enough speed for 3rd at the same time have to slow for a corner/parked car/car coming the other way. The box will jump 2nd 3rd 2nd. To resolve it like many others have and also do in stop start town traffic is flick it into sport mode so it hangs on to 2and. I'm only reaching 2200/2500rpm but in normal it will change to 3rd. It's not really a gripe as such as I only switch it 50% of the time. Like 64vrs said for that 10% theres the paddles. I find myself just pulling down and flicking into sport for an overtake or slip road, once done flick back to normal.

Hello all, Wondering if someone may be able to suggest anything else regarding below. 2015 Vrs TSi DSG 49k. FSSH all services completed as scheduled. Serviced on Friday, all filters including air con, no spark plug change, all in order drove 8 miles home car sat there for the night. Sat am on start up eml remains lit. Small test drive showed no obvious issues, but it was driven gently. Look under the bonnet dipstick, oil cap all other caps appeared on and tight. That's the extent of my knowledge. All lights working. Following fault codes found. P006800 MAP/MAF throttle position correlation (this code appeared 3 times) P227900 Intake air system leak. Garage noted onnopening bonnet the small rubber hose going into air box not attached, presumably taken off when air filter changed. Cleared codes tok for test drive for 15 mins all fine. Picked car up no eml. Drive 100m (supermarket) popped in popped out start up eml on again. Back to local garage who confirm same faults present. Car under warranty so suggest dealer before they look further. Fault codes reset. Driven several times since and no reappearance of eml. Was it just that hose or from knowledge anything else I should be looking at/aware of before it goes to Skoda (along with a complaint) Cheers Steve

As 64vrs said, cant believe I waited so long. I spent ages finding a manual in the right spec but only found dsg. Went for a test drive and now I wont go back to manual. Even the wife who was hesitant in dsg would look for dsg/equivalent in her next car. 64vrs; my wife wanted Rallye Green ended up with Race Blue. Great colour and suits the 19's.

I used the vcds map here to find someone relatively local to me, dropped them a private message to see if they would assist and they did. I've used this twice once in Kent and once in Norfolk and both owners were really helpful. Definantly a friendly bunch on here. I went along with my lights fitted them there and had those along with a few other things coded in too.

I have the same car and my number plate lights needed coding. I bought oem ones from the Rapid and they fit straight in no cutting or modifying.
