Aha got it now. Thank you.

Has he been to the skoda service to ask them about the problem?

Agree with you. The reason i'm asking is that the 1.5 tsi has the dq200, what i've heard is the least reliable DSG. But maybe they've been improved lately. Time will tell. Thank you.

Got it. Thank you.

Yeah just like you say, i think the ACT vibration is on every 1.5 tsi but it is a question whether you feel/hear it or not. Can i ask why you chose the manual instead of the DSG?

I think they know what problem you talking about but they act like they dont. Hope it comes a update soon to solve both the kangarooing and the vibrations.

Nice to hear that. Thank you.

Great to hear that. I wonder the problem is if some cars get it and some dont. Sounds like a fixable problem. For how many miles did you use the 1.5 tsi and 1.5 e-tec?

Yeah the usual "we've never heard of that" by the mechanics. Disappointed at Skoda for not taking the problems to seriously on a otherwise very good engine imo. Thank you for the answers.

Thank you good info. I live in a very cold place, around -15 in the winters so i wonder if its gonna be even more "kangarooing" the colder it is? Have you been to the service and asked them about it and dou you have the manual transmission?

I see. Have you been to the skoda service to ask them about the problem?

Yeah i also heard that the jerking is when its cold, do you have the 1.5 tsi with ACT? Manual or auto?

Thank you for good info. Dont think you should just let it be like that, maybe wanna get it fixed somehow before the warranty ends because when it does they wont be helpful at all those bloodsucking retailers.

Agree with you. I really like the Octavia but i often hear the problem with the vibration and really disappointing that the VAG group is yet to fix the problem. They could at least have a on/off button like the start/stop to decide if you want it on or off.

Do you have the manual?

Sorry to hear that. Do you feel that it has gone worse by the time or was it like that from the beginning? I've read on other forums that you can somehow turn the ACT off, dont know by going to a tuner or you can do it yourself with a scan tool. Maybe an option for you. Btw do you have any problems with kangarooing with the car?

Thanks guys.

Hi guys. Im looking into buying the new Octavia with the 1.5 tsi engine, i've seen that the earlier model have had some strange noises and vibrations when going into 2 cylinder mode. I wonder if the problems continuous on the new car.
