Hi James, Feel free to Txt me (removed) VCDS - can't remember all of them to be honest but dipping passenger mirror when selecting reverse. a slight change to the virtual cockpit. the one i wanted to do like the other car was high beam assist but the modules were different and i couldnt do it as the MY20 cars changed a lot from my other MY15. I will be near Yelverton from 6th August for 3 weeks

It was really well specced. Only problem was the towbar electric connector was stuck down so hopefully they fixed that and was going to be done at next service under warranty. I had zero faults on the car since new. I have a DTUK tuning box for it at home if you are interested and also the remap module for the gearbox that is specific to that car and could be used again( it's a one car use only upgrade module that plugs into OBD port and reprograms the box). can talk through that if you are interested. I'm guessing Skoda have completely reset the car. I have a DTUK box on the other Vrs we have and it's been on there from 600 miles and its now on 95k with no issues. It was a great upgrade. I had also done a couple of VCDS mods and again, I have the cable ( cant sell it as we have a manual MY15 vrs in the house) but one of the 3 uses was on that car. I will be in Plymouth area for the last 3 weeks of August. Steve

I sold the car to a Skoda dealer in Warrington. Happy to give you more details if you PM me Steve

Hi, Due to delay on my new car, yes it is still up for sale although I currently don't have a build date on new one ! thanks Steve

I've also had Limo tint done on B pillar back (4 windows) and 20% less tint done on rear window as the Limo tint was too dark for that one Steve

Edit to add rear camera and electric boot that I forgot about ! steve

Thanks for the advise. will try that

Yes, the car has the adaptive suspension as well so mode changes the throttle map and suspension setting but all do the same.

Hi All, any experts out there made any changes to the way DSG is performing ? My car is a MY20 Diesel VRS 4x4 but not been totally happy with the application of the DSG box since having the car nearly 2 years now. the problem is only up to 3rd gear and once in that it's totally fine. To give an example if i floor the throttle from a standstill it feels like massive amounts of clutch slip is happening. i can overcome this by a slight lift and that causes a quick upshift as long as there is enough speed for the higher gear to engage. Once in third there is no clutch slip. main problem is the slope from my house and the box not wanting to change from 2nd to 3rd until about 18mph which is a higher speed then needed due to built up area, parked cars and kids etc. but the car is revving at 2,000rpm and tractor sounding when cold. has anyone been able to change the speed threshold where the box changes gear ? Previous manual model would do that at 1000rpm and be into 3rd and there is tons of torque in these motors. I tried a 330d Touring at the weekend and the ZF box in that is a revelation as it just seemed to change up as needed and ride the torque of the motor where the Skoda seems to be pre programmed and not fitting the engines torque. Last chance before considering a move Any comments welcome. Steve

If I get to use the car soon then it will be in for a service soon after and I'll report back on here any findings Steve

Thanks for that. It's due a service at 10k so I will report it to the dealer. and push the oil change. The car changes ok. It must be the slope I drive up from the house and the right speed is about 17mph so its revving high for 2nd and wont change to 3rd until about 19mph..Its a side street so I don't want to go fast as kids are playing etc. it just seems wrong to be holding 2nd gear at 2,500 revs. It wont manually change to 3rd at that speed. My last car was on variable servicing and that's what this one should be on but I took the offer of first 2 services for £139 or £149 (cant remember which) as it seemed a good deal and the sales guy had made a mistake (he forgot I was on Variable and still offered the fixed servicing deal) as I thought i wouldnt pay anything until 3 years old ! I'm doing about 17k to 18k per year. Cheers Steve

The other annoying aspect. I live on a bit of a slope and park facing downhill. On a cold start, select reverse and it’s got to rev to about 2,000 to 2,500 to just get moving which also feels really weird as with the manual, any manoeuvre like that was done without use of the throttle and at tickover so I don’t get the need to slip the clutches so much. steve
