Hi, Thanks for responding! I wasn't aware skoda didn't use the 130 that's really useful. I've dug through the seat forum and there are a lot of horror stories. The dealer in question only offering a 15 minute test drive so will pass I think. Thanks for your help! Jamie

Hi all, After 5 happy years in my superb estate I'm moving to pastures new... The car i'm looking at (a Golf) has the 1.5 TSI Evo (130) and after reading through some stuff on Briskoda from 2019 I'm now terrified that this engine is a complete lemon and I should avoid at all costs... If the car had the kangaroo-ing issue would it be 100% obvious in a test drive or is it of the intermittent variety? Do most engines have it or is it not that common? After reading the stories of unhappy owners having a software update that didn't actually fix the issue it gave me flashbacks to having the emissions update done and then promptly removed from my superb... :-D I was intentionally looking at the 1.5 because i thought the 1 litre would be under-powered. Is this the case? Anyway, any thoughts or experience appreciated. Thanks all! Jamie
