13TSI

No… Have a 1.5 TSI Ateca now with its own issues but we won’t go there! Wish I had the Leon back! Ironically I listen to my neighbours 2018 Audi Q3 1.4TFSI start up each morning with exactly the same noise. I’ve been told it’s normal, as per above TPI.

exactly this. I’ve been struggling to explain the problem we now have with our 2019 1.5 manual. We had ‘the’ software update to fix the kangaroo ad low revs when cold but I’m now blighted by this issue you describe above. I can pull the clutch up whilst accelerating away in 1st gear and the car will almost cut the revs completely resulting in a jolt whilst the engine catches back up again and I finally pull away. Almost like it’s going to cut out/stall but it doesn’t. It really makes me feel like I don’t know how to drive but I’m certain it’s not me. This engine is the worst I’ve driven for years. I REALLY miss my 1.4TSI Leon…

Exactly the same happening in my 1.5TSI SEAT Ateca manual. I appreciate it’s a completely different car, engine and gearbox but I couldn’t have described my issue better myself. I did have the ‘kangaroo’ fix last year but this is something different and it makes me hate the car with a passion. So difficult to set off from standing with any decorum. Its in for its first service (two years old) in a couple of weeks so I’ll mention it then. But I’ll expect the usual ‘can’t find anything wrong’ line.

I commented on this thread a few pages back now to say that my 2019 (19 plate) Ateca 1.5TSI manual was suffering from the 1st gear kangaroo effect when cold. Thankfully I finally got SEAT to acknowledge this after a CS complaint and a visit to a couple of different dealers. I wouldn’t say the car got completely fixed after it’s ECU update but it was 95% better and I could only really feel the roo a tiny bit when warm. Fast forward to now (about a year later) and over the last week or so, I can pretty much say the car is getting worse by the day and the kangaroo is returning. It’s really getting on my nerves. I never got out of SEAT what ECU version they updated my car to but the action was carried out just over a year ago now and as I say ha been pretty much OK for the last year or so. Its gotten that bad that I just hate driving the car. It says something when I much prefer jumping in my Citigo as it just drives away no issues at all and moving off from a stop is much easier! does anyone know if any newer ECU updates were released during the last year? Anyone else experienced similar?
