So I’ve had the box serviced today and it’s even worse now. Garage said there is no problem with the box and there are no codes for anything. I pulled onto a roundabout from standing and the car changed into 2nd, banged into 3rd and dropped all power - then immediately changed into 4th. Foot to the floor in 2nd there is a 2 second delay in power and then a jolt as it comes back. 5/6th foot to the floor - absolutely nothing happening at all. Seems like flywheel symptoms to me?

It’s fine in S and manual mode with the paddles. Yes - once it’s on it’s way it’s absolutely fine, but I’ve never noticed such a delay on gentle acceleration after downshifting to 2nd gear in D.

Hi all, Before I start - I am booked in for my 3rd DSG service @ 120,000 miles in early June. The car is currently on 119,400 miles with FSH most being done at Skoda and paperwork for both 40 and 80 thousand mile DSG services and I have tried the “DSG reset”. Over the past 2 weeks I’ve been expecting some strange behaviour what I believe to be down to the DSG box. Mainly in 2nd and 3rd, for example when slowing to make a turn and the car changes down to 2nd gear under deceleration - when I start accelerating after the turn it seems like there’s a 2ish second delay in any power actually getting through. Similar in 3rd gear except it seems like the car doesn’t boost for 2-3 seconds and then after that it’s fine. The changes are a bit sloppy between 2-3-4. I guess my question is: do these boxes go a bit slushy leading up to the required mileage of the service, or should I be asking Skoda to investigate during the DSG service? I have no codes, lights, clunks, knocks or anything to indicate a problem anywhere else. TIA 👍🏼

I’ve done 800 and the car has never ran better, it’s on 108800 miles and is returning 35+ MPG and feels a lot more responsive.

The Bosch ones I got were definitely not remanufactured. Brand new sealed in the box and paperwork stated brand new. I’ve not known Euros to sell remanufactured parts ever.

If you can hang on for a week for delivery they were closer to £200 on AUTODOC, comes from Germany though. I had 2 injectors actually go, 3rd misfire & random misfire codes were just there for the party I think. When it went it really went, I thought the chain had gone to be honest. All 4 were replaced. My father in law owns a garage so it just went there and came back fixed, I only had to source the injectors as I managed to get them cheaper than he could (odd). In regards to the coil pack, once the new injectors were in it was running but a bit rough and it had a code for the coil pack, so that was done too. Not exactly sure what the reason was but I will ask 👍🏼

Had exactly the same problem on my petrol MK2 VRS. Driving fine, all of a sudden a smoke screen behind me and horrendous misfire. Stopped, turned off but wouldn’t start after - would only turn and turn and turn. I got Bosch injectors from CarParts4Less (euro car parts online only sister site) for £290 with discount code. Also had to have new coil packs, spark plug, the valves cleaned and fresh oil of course. Interestingly so much fuel was spewed into the cylinder that the pistons couldn’t move and it gave the impression the engine was locked on timing (thanks to RAC for constantly turning the engine to try and get me going instead of just towing me like I asked) It’s a fairly common fault on VAG 2.0 TSI engines, particularly the Audi version if you read up, so you are probably just unlucky like I was.

Had a similar problem on my MK2 VRS, it was the injectors at fault - spewing fuel into the cylinder and causing a misfire. I got the 3 cyl misfire and 1 random misfire codes
