Apologies for delayed reply- yes it does kick in occasionally in Normal mode when I m taking it easy which isnt very often!

Maybe...I guess we wait to see if any other owners of same car do/dont get coasting in Eco/Comfort modes

@TheUltraRunner- Nope you're not going mad, I get coasting in ECO and Comfort modes...my car is Dec 2020 Mk4 VRS 2.0 245 DSG

@toot Thanks for the v useful info and links as I intend to be keeping the car for quite some time I'll be looking to get DSG oil/filter change done at 4 yrs as opposed to the recommended 8!! I dont tend to welly the car too much but do like the idea of having an extra bit of power ... always ensure that both engine / gearbox oil are nicely warmed up

Surely this is an improvement on predecessor with lessons learned and improvements made? Not heard of any troubling issues with these as yet...like any "auto" box depends how you treat them I guess

Thinking about doing this with lower torque with RacingLine...a little unsure tho as they say DSG map not required for low torque map but torque goes upto 480NM and (I believe) max on DQ381 box is 430Nm?? Am I overthinking it, being told gearbox can take it and more

@Toot - thanks for the update with the HILARIOUS illustration Pretty disconcerting that there is no "agreed" service schedule as such, I think I mentioned earlier that for DSG oil change it was a pick of....Not required/8years/4years!! Choose one!??

@toot different dealers stating different things..not needed, 4 yrs, 3 yrs...however been told by dealer who spent a fair amount of time confirming that its required every 2 years!!! Mind boggling!!

Hi All 👋 Does anyone know what the scenario would be when warranty expires in relation to software updates (infotainment), so far all software updates have been covered under warranty but no idea what the scenario would be when this expires...would dealers charge for this ? I think thats a given tbh...can car go outside of the dealer network for any software updates????

@Felix2021 - loving your last sentence, hahaa! I'll be using that quote a lot...at work!

@toot Thanks for the info 👍 Do you variant of DSG box in the VRS? (2.0 Petrol! )

Ive read depending on the tune, well more the torque, the DSG wont need a remap? Could this help with wheelspin in 1st/2nd gear? I do recall driving a Mk3 VRS Manual a few years ago (my nephew is a trader and focuses on hot hatches) remapped to 390 ish bhp...excellent map as max power/torque wouldnt cut in until oil temp was 80 deg plus and it Limited torque in 1st/2nd gear! That thing was v v quick, in 3rd gear way quicker than the Merc GLA 45 380BHP I had as a courtesy car...for 4months!

@tootOnce again, very useful information! Was looking at a service plan for next 2 yrs (Yr3 and 4) with Skoda but it only includes oil, oil filter and pollen filter change!!! Will be going via Independent route and have found a local place to change VAG e diff oil/sparks/DSG oil etc i.e all the mandatory items that arent covered by the service plan

UK warranty is 2yrs unlimited mileage or 3 yrs 60,000 miles...same as above for paint corrosion, pretty surprised that standard warranty is different in France

Do share :).... what are the power gains and do you have manual or DSG? Noticeable difference??
