  1. Maybe. I'm not complaining.
  2. If it wasn't for the re-coding after fitting the new battery, it's a simple DIY I'm lucky, my original battery is 10 yrs old this month.
  3. Agree and in my case 100% trouble free. The OP has a Scout. Apart from his "off road" mode, should it behave as mine does when he selects S?
  4. You're using the gearbox exactly as I do for engine braking. For steeper hills I move the shifter left to manual mode and flick it to select which lower gear I want.
  5. Have you asked the garage about it and had the stock answer "they all do that"?
  6. Yes, 1.6 TDI. 7 speed. I've confused myself as I thought they all has the same characteristics.
  7. Mine is exactly the same, except I don't have paddles.
  8. OP is just talking about moving the shifter to the S position, not pressing the mode button. If you're slowing down then it will start dropping gears. OP say's his is not doing that, so there is a fault.
  9. Valid point. This is the 1st DSG I've had. If on the demo car I tried and it did not creep, I'd have queried it. If I'd been told "they all do that" I'd have been none the wiser and accepted it even tho I'd find it annoying. In queuing traffic, I try not to creep forward on the brakes by leaving a big enough gap to go forward on idle speed or slight throttle thereby avoiding some clutch slip. Putting the car into my narrow garage is made easy by creeping, without it it would mean using both pedals or using the handbrake, neither desirable. Auto's are for ease of driving and coupled with the start/stop and hill hold I'm more than happy. I'm also happy with my battery which is 10 yrs old this month.🎂
  10. I think you're the 1st person to mention this problem on this forum To me it's not normal. Every auto I've driven has the crept forward and it makes for easy maneuvering it tight spaces. I'd miss it a lot.
  11. Is a common problem. The last post in the above link mentions a sunroof specialist in Surrey.
  12. The check engine light is on because the engine is not running or does the rev counter not work?. It should go off after starting the engine.
  13. £200 is an excellent price
  14. Apologies. You're correct. Mis-typed when taking the info from the Transport for London website
  15. Run the engine with filler cap off and see if there are any or excessive fumes escaping. Could be too much pressure building up.
  16. To be ULEZ compliant, a diesel has to be to Euro 6 standard which was introduced in Sept 2016 for cars. 11k a year is not much for a diesel engine. Of course, it depends on your style of driving. I'm running a 1.6 DSG diesel and the two compliment each other. No issues with the DSG.
  17. Can't tell you about the error code, but the lights coming on with the ignition and then going off with engine running is normal. Start worrying when they come on with the engine running.
  18. You seem doubtful as to whether they're working or not. I don't understand. If you had full function before the service and now you don't, then the dealer has done something wrong. Most people know how their car behaves, so unless the car is new to you, as soon as you noticed something was wrong it should have been reported to the dealer straightaway. Why wait two weeks?
  19. OP is under the impression he has Matrix headlights which weren't introduced until 2019/20 on the Superb. He just has HBA.
  20. What system do you have at the moment?
  21. Does the window work with the key fob using convenience mode?
  22. What about the tensioner, re-use or replace?
