Welcome to the zoo. Our O4 more often jerking on start, 1.5 TSI manual, then it starts smoothly. It is better when AC is off. Looks like they have never resolved auto-stall issue or something else. It also has significant delay on reaction on throttle, and this is since beginning. Other than that, the car is really good, engine strong, but only you need to pass this jerking around 1400rpm during initial acceleration from stand still. What is interesting, people who drive roughly, and clutch above 1500rpm on start, will not notice our little down under friend.

Yes of course, I am from Serbia, all of us had Tigar when it was 15-20% of price of Continental or Michelin in same dimension, but now this is not the case anymore at all.

Riken. Are they made in Serbia? Total crap tire, good only for snow.

DHL ? I would have rather wait for a spare key instead of braking something. Have you managed to unlock the car?

Mine is also noisy on cold start since day 1 (5km). I can't tell whether this one is louder or not. On working temperature and if you disengage all electric consumers it is very silent. Maybe this should be correct test.

I can do this on mine to compare? In Belgrade is near 40 ever day past 10 days (after we returned from Greece :D).

Didn’t get it from your original explanation. Does it cool down after 5 minutes of working, when driving? I use recirculation immediately, in a minute already is getting bearable in the car and 2 3 minutes later quite fine.

Looks like too much expectations. There are cars with a/c sharp as razor, but not in this price segment. Turn on recirculation when it is 40C outside.

Touchscreen is OK now. It is not better then dials and knobs, but it is okay, plus you can talk commands to your Škoda, which also works decent. I do prefer my old RS230 comparing to newer O4 Style, but you are opting for a RS, so... If you old car is tired, why not.

Our O4 controls road noise pretty well, but it depends on the road surface. Before, all our roads were really noisy and you couldn't help it, but nowadays it is much better. It also depends on expectations, but comparing to similar pricing cars, it is quieter. Comparing to BMW 5 it is not. Wind noise is nearly non existing, road noise on our 205/55R17 wheels highly depending on the road surface.

If the readings are correct, it is blowing cool air, but it always depends on the outer air temperature and fan speed as you noticed. It is able to reduce from 40 to 15C, this looks like thing is working great. If fan speed is higher, there is less contact of this particular volume of air you measure and you get blowing out warmer - but in general complete volume of air in cabin will be exchanged faster. What I do when it is very hot outside, in the beginning I switch on air recirculation. Later on I switch it back to full auto. These days heat is extreme in our region, I suppose all A/Cs struggle.

Shouldn't be 245 without VAQ. Don't you have driving modes to choose individual and see there presence of front differential lock?

Why!? I think it can be set louder via OBD11 or VCDS.

KW DDC has its own central unit, so should behave more-less same as OEM DCC, probably even better.

Do you have Cupra's in UK? Formentor for example? There are 2.0 and 2.5 TSI, 4x4 and fwd. Why not new O4 RS?
