[Steering too light mk3]

This is definitely fixable, this is the setting you want to change:

It will change your throttle to a more linear acceleration pattern as well as make the steering a little ”harder”.

Did you keep the parts - and if so do they appear within similar condition to pictures within post #1? Placing a straight-edge across your pressure-plate should verify whether you have suffered the same manufacturing or assembly defect as I did. 

 

It's still being fixed at the shop, i got to see the clutch but haven't been able to test that out. Will do as soon as they are done

I’d send them the link to this post.

 

1500 miles is ridiculous for Skoda to refuse a warranty claim on a clutch.

 

If you fight hard enough, you will get it sorted. 

 

Sorry it's supposed to say 15000 miles, still not alot.

I imagine that it is almost impossible to destroy a (non-faulty) clutch deliberately within 1500 miles.

 

Skoda should almost certainly accept liability after such low mileage on a nearly-new car. I hope you kept the parts?

 

 

 

I was a little fast on the submit button, supposed to say 15000 miles (about 25000km)

I have the exact same problem as the poster on my vRS 2017.

 

Car have rolled about 1553 miles (2500km) and have the exact same wear on the plate with ALOT of clutch slip.

 

Unfortunately this was not within warranty according to the Skoda technician.

[Exhaust Options?]

Yes the 245 has a 'sport' exhaust. If you turn the sound actuator off you can hear it from inside. Sounds like my old Astra VXR, but a lot quieter. 

The only way to completely remove the actuator sounds is to either disable with VCDS or unplug the cable from it.

 

Even in the off mode from the car menu it produces sound, heck even in "Eco" it produces some sounds.

I have a Milltek cat-back system on my -17 vRS non resonated and i love it. Sure there is some drone at 2500-3000 rpm but nothing that i personally dislike.

[How do dealers get away with this?!]

You guys don't know how cheaply you're getting these services. First oil change costs £250 on my 2017 vRS in Sweden from a VW certified shop which is needed for the service book to get a stamp.
