What is acceptable. I am astonished at the number of problems that are being found and yet the reaction to them is pretty much a shrug of the shoulder and "that's how it is". My most recent problem (probably my fault ! ) was that I managed to lock my key in the boot which resulted in a friend bringing the spare'. Can I turn off the electronic "stuff" that controls all this. When I first got he car (Qaroq Scout 4x4 2ltr Diesel) I had all manner of problems with the stop/start, worst and most dangerous in my opinion being a violent stall when attempting to pull out into a stream of cars. I was persuaded to persevere as it was supposedly down to my driving style and I would get used to it. A bit of a cheek I thought but I stuck with it on the basis that if when I have occasion to get the engine/drive-train reset my thoughts are "if it stays calm it's down to me getting used to it as the reset made no difference" "If the violence comes back it is because of the engine/etc " Guess what - back came the stalling !! I tried to get the car changed over as fundamentally it is a nice car but it has taken forever to get any response to that. A change of sales manager without letting me know and the COVID-19 nonsense has taken it's toll on time

I bought my Karoq 2.0 TDi 4x4 Scout back in April and ever since I took delivery it has suffered from what can only be described a violent stalling , especially in 1 st from a standstill but also sometimes in 2nd if already in motion. There are many similar problems with the TSi 1.5 but as has been pointed out that is a completely different drive train so I thought I would set up a separate thread purely for the 2 ltr car. This can be doing the drive train no good at all and I dread to think what is being held in store. There have been in excess of 20,000 entries in the thread "1,5 tsi petrol engines problems" which as has been pointed out is a different system entirely but owners are experiencing similar symptoms. I believe it is the fault of two bits of firmware fighting for dominance and my best guess is the 'hold' facility versus the 'stop/start' function especially when if you turn off the 'stop/start' feature the problem as good as disappears. If you chose the SE car the brochure says you can't have the 'stop/start' fitted. Can anyone out there with a SE variant confirm they don't get stalling. The dealership are particularly unhelpful claiming it is my driving style that is at fault but I find that hard to believe especially when my so called style must change whenever I press the button to turn 'stop/start' off or on.
