Nope - the hatchback protector is founded under 'limousine', 'combi' under.....'combi'

I have the 190ps version of the 2.0tsi engine with 7 speed dsg and tow a trailer + boat. Works very well - but be careful when crawling in slow traffic, especially uphill - the gearbox won't like that so much, could overheat. The advice I found is if you are in a traffic jam is to let the traffic ahead move forward a bit and wait before you move so you avoid slowly crawling along. Also, in this situation put the dsg into sport mode so it holds in first gear rather than shifting to second. I guess you could do this using manual mode too.

The 190ps petrol was only available, for a short while, in SEL and L&K trim, unlike the Superb there was no Sportline version. The 4x4 version 0-60 is 6.6 seconds.

Thanks - I was very pleased to get it since it was the only 4x4 petrol within my budget at the time. Got a great discount through an on-line broker too (who has since gone into administration!)

I am indeed - it was only available for a short while in early 2019: 2.0TSI 190 SE L 4x4 Has Arrived.... - Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 onward) - BRISKODA

Car Wow included these comments: The new Sportline is also offered with a 190hp 2.0-litre petrol engine that isn’t available on lower-spec models all-wheel-drive and a seven-speed automatic DSG gearbox can be paired with the top engine offerings. I have this engine in my Mark 3 SEL estate. Since it's 4x4 it is slightly quicker than a FWD VRS to 60mph.

Good to hear that it is ok now - btw did you get a warning light come on when it first happened?

it was referring to the Gti version

GPF's 'passively' regenerate when off the throttle, needs more oxygen not fuel. I found this explanation : GPF regeneration can only be performed in “non power” conditions, meaning that regeneration is normally achieved under deceleration. Deceleration increases the amount of oxygen following through the engine and exhaust system. This in turn raises the temperature of the GPF to around 400c – 700c, igniting the soot contained within the filter. In conditions where this is not possible, the vehicles engine management systems alters timing causing it to run lean. This “lean” burn increases oxygen and therefore GPF operating temperatures, allowing a regeneration to occur.

I'm not sure if it's passive only - I've Googled about it and found references to active regeneration in other engines (e.g. VW Up and some Kia's with GPF's). I'd be surprised if it didn't have the ability to regenerate actively, just in case. The handbook refers to the warning light but doesn't say whether it is just for diesels or petrol as well.

I have the same engine, but I've not experienced this issue. If maybe you've only been doing short journeys recently I wondered if it might be doing a GPF regeneration?

Took delivery yesterday of my Race Blue 4x4 estate - this is the new version with the 2.0tsi petrol engine, giving 190ps. First time for me with a DSG semi-automatic box, and after about 60+ miles it's so far so good Other than my left foot occasionally looking for a clutch pedal when coming to a halt, I've generally found it pretty easy, after driving manual boxes for nearly 50 years. With just 7.9 miles on the clock (it arrived on a low-loader) it's being driven appropriately, but it still makes easy progress with a smooth and torquey feel. With less than 70 miles on the clock, mpg at this stage is probably meaningless, but with mixed urban and short motorway driving it's reporting 32 mpg at the moment. On standard 17" wheels, with tow bar, winter pack, reversing camera, chrome surrounds and silver rails:
