Hello everyone,
Been reading this post for the last few days as trying to get some info on issues I'm having with my Skoda rapid 1.6tdi DSG.
It suffers from the same slip that seems others are mentioning, especially during kickdown.
What's different on my rapid, is that the car is a nightmare when first started. It suffers from a very rough idle and this results in very jerky movements in 1st and reverse gears. When it jerks, if I don't hit the brake, the car will stall. Has anyone else had this symptom? It's a nightmare when parallel parking, so much so that I can't wait to get rid of the car.
Here's a short clip of the revs when idling and pulling away slowly in 1st.
Rough idle
I took it to a few specialists and the first couldn't find any obvious fault, and nothing on diagnostics. The second garage found a Skoda TPI for similar symptoms that recommended replacing the clutch.
Having been quoted 1400 to replace the clutch and reading here that the slip symptoms remain, I'm hesitant about spending the money until I know 100% that it's the problem.
The car has a few service recall stickers but I don't think any are for the gearbox. It's had 20v4 48L7 and 23R6.
I'm thinking it could be something fuel or air related as the symptoms are worse in park, and would think the clutch is disengaged.
Anyone else having similar issues?
