My Scala with the DSG 7 box is the best car I have owned so far, its comfy, surprising nippy if you poke it, very economical in the 55-60mpg area, big rear space etc. Its a great car, our previous was the Rapid SpaceBack and our next car will be a Skoda as well.

There are two point on my car - with foot hard on the brake and box in D or S, the revs are about 850-900 and no attempt to move, its in full neutral. As I release the pressure on the brake to say a light hold, the revs will lift to 1000 and the DSG will go to biting point on first gear - this is the point that you do not want to hold for too long as its the same as slipping the clutch on a manual. Check for the two rev points with handbrake off and foot hard on brake, then lift foot a little - the revs should change, if not I would consult a service garage maybe. I have not tried the same with handbrake but I would expect the DSG to be biting if its in Drive as It would be expecting a hill start maybe? Normally when handbrake is on the box would be in N.

It was the infotainment unit, a new replacement fixed the issue.

Hi yes i got a micro usb-c stick, its only about 15mm long and can hardly be seen when plugged in. A bit like these... Micro Stick

Found it - the USB needs to be in Window format not MAC, reformatted and loaded the music again and it works fine. Seems Nano's are not supported.

New info system fitted today, seems happier now

Hi all Loving the new Scala but having audio issues. It refuses to connect to my iPod Nano, tried new cable but no, maybe Nano not supported?? I then tried dumping some playlists on a USB-C stick in a folder for each playlist, audio says no files found. Can anyone confirm exactly what IS supported please or how to make it work please??? Thanks Dave

The car also will not connect or charge via the two USB-C sockets - my guess is the sockets are fubarred and need changing??? Anyone else seen this???

Thanks. Just hit a snag so it will be going back to service dept - went out today and the infotainment system has not only lost all its radio memories it keeps rebooting every minute or two. Not happy but i'll chalk it up to 'new car syndrome' provided they can fix it

Hi all, got my 1st DSG (115/SE) this weekend, love it so far, best Skoda we have had. My observations, can anyone confirm.... 1 - When stopped, foot light on brake, the revs are a little high, maybe 1100, does that indicate that the clutches are at biting point, i.e. slipping ready to pull away? 2 - When stopped, foot harder on brake, the revs drop to idle, does that show that box is in full neutral i.e not slipping clutches and not heating the clutch up? 3 - is it ok to sit with foot fully on brake for say a whole traffic light cycle - in manual i was taught to go for neutral/handbrake to stop wear on clutch mechanism etc Its a lovely car to drive and for such a small engine, surprisingly poky

Thanks the viewing went well and we placed our deposit Its an ex-demo car not loaner, which was good and the condition bears this out as it's mint inside and out. It does drive extremely well and is way above our base-spec Rapid in terms of refinements. I have drive auto before but they were the old torque-converter style boxes not DSG so I need to learn the do's and don'ts of it to get the best out of it. Glad to see the boot is a large as the Rapid SB as we have used that a fair amount. Pick it up Saturday

Hi all, we have had a Rapid Spaceback 1.2 for 4 years now and looking at a new car time. We like the Scala as it seems pretty much the facelift Rapid I have booked an appointment to view a 2019 1ltr auto Scala today, its an ex-delaer loaner which the Rapid was as well. Is there anything to be aware of on these, its a fairly low spec but has cruise control which i wanted. We are retired so its only low mileage travels now, plus one or two UK holidays if we are luck per year. Thanks for any tips

Yeah, colour coded :( Will get some prices.

Hi all, i'm guessing this will be a shop repair but... Opened the offside rear door on my 2016 Spaceback today and the handle fell off! I clipped it back but it falls off easy now so something broke :( Garage reapair??

Hi all, I have a 2016 rapid spaceback, and have been using an SD card for music but struggling with a lot of tracks not playing - just found out that is because of DRM :( I tried the wife's iPod Nano and it worked well but not a permanent option, my iPod shuffle does not work probably because they have no display so too simple to integrate?? Before i buy something cheap off the 'bay, can anyone tell me if ANY iPod (apart from shuffle) will connect?? Don't want to waste cash Thanks
