Kodiaq jittery shaky ride at stable speed 50-80 km/h
I wish it were just me shaking but unfortunately everything in the car is shaking a bit (as you can see from my fingers). I am in the Netherlands - hence it's the right side of the road for us

I tried to take a video. You cannot see the vibration that well on the video, but if you watch my hand or later my finger next to the steering wheel you can see the vibration. In this case most of the time it was driving in 2 cylinder mode, and then later it switched to normal 4-cylinder, yet it did not seem to have any effect on the vibration. IMG_7063.MP4

Yes, I can see when the 2-cylinder mode is engaged. Based on my investigation, vibration happens both on 2-cylinder and on normal (4-cylinder) mode.

Kodiaq jittery shaky ride at stable speed 50-80 km/h
Thanks a lot for your explanation. Indeed I notice vibration the most when I am driving around 70 km/h and DSG is in 6th gear and the engine is around 1500-1600 rpms. I just now tried manually downshifting to a lower gear, but cannot tell that the vibration changed in any way. Although to be honest it is a bit difficult to tell. I will try more driving with downshifting to a lower gear and see if I notice this at higher RPMs or not. If low RPMs are the cause, perhaps changing the driving mode to Sport would be an option as I believe it normally maintains higher RPMs and switches geras a bit later. Anyways that would be easier to maintain long term than keep downshifting manually. But still - is this normal behavior if indeed I can confirm that it only happens at lower RPMs? Or is this still cause for potential warranty repair?

Clear, thanks. Will try lowering to 2.3 and see if the vibration disappears. The dealer has loaded them to 2.7 upon delivery, and that's what the sticker says as recommended pressure for eco drive.

It's petrol, front-wheel drive, 1.5l 4-cylinder engine (with 150 horsepower), and a 7-speed DSG trasmission. Sorry, typo above - should be 18 inch tyres. These are Pirelli Scorpion 235/55 R18. On the car sticker it says that 18 inch tyres should be inflated to 2.7 bar for eco drive.

I checked all the tyres, they are all at 2.7 bar and holding pressure well (at least over the course of the week that I had the car now).

Thanks! I was thinking of doing that too, but wanted to first try to figure out what could be the possible cause. I am thinking maybe it is as simple as wheels not being balanced correctly?

Kodiaq jittery shaky ride at stable speed 50-80 km/h
Hi everyone! I just bought a used Skoda Kodiaq 2019 with very low mileage (<20k km). Everything seems OK in the car except for one thing - when driving at stable speed of 50-80 km/h (for example on cruise control), the car seems to jitter / shake a bit. It almost feels as if it is riding in too high of a gear and has this almost stalling effect. It is also relatively subtle - not something that you notice immediately, but you can feel your feet, your hands on the steering wheel, your phone on the holder vibrating. The car is automatic with 7-speed DSG, has 19 inch Pirelli Scorpion tires (inflated to 2.7 bar). Should I be concerned? The car still has 3 months factory warranty on it, hence I am considering taking it to a dealer for a check, but has anyone else experienced this problem before? Or is this "normal" expectation? I had a Toyota Prius+ before, which had a very soft & smooth ride but perhaps I should not be comparing them?
