The car is brand new from 2022 mid december and has driven 4100 km. It has been to the workshop 4-5 times with a fault in the ABS-sensor which resulted in multiple error messages, a front shock absorber that rubbed against another part(they replaced the shock absorber completly), squealing front brakes at low speeds when the car is warm, not cold (which they haven’t fixed yet) and then the problems I’ve metioned in this thread.

I run E10 95 octane. I’ve tried E5 100 octane a couple of times, but seems about the same. It says “approx 1330 - 3200 rpm”, but it idles at 700 rpm. So unless it doesn’t have to meet all these requirements, then yes, it seems that it activates.

Hi I have another thread on the forum regarding vibrations from the ACT-system (which I first thought was a suspension problem). I’ve now been back and forth with the dealership to try and fix the problem, but sadly the answers has been “It’s just how the car is”. My Scala has just been at the workshop and I asked them if it’s normal, that the engine has these small “hickups” at idle when the engine is warm, where they replied “It’s the ACT you can feel.” My question is; does ACT really activate during idle? And are these small “hickups” normal at idle? (These “hickups” doesn’t affect the revs, but can clearly be felt through the steering wheel and the seats)

Okay, so a short update on my Scala. The dealer had my Scala for a day, and they noticed the vibrations from 2-cylinder mode too(more than other similar Scala’s they have in stock). They tried to look for errors in the system but couldn’t find anything. They told that since the car have only done 2500 km it might get better with time (we’ll see…). Interresting though, they found that the front right shock absorber is rubbing against something(didn’t quite understand what), but that it needs to be replaced fully – under warranty luckily.

Okay so after some more driving and testing, I may have found the issue. I’ve noticed that everytime the car engages “2 cylinder”-mode the shaking and vibrations begin. It’s especially noticeable at 110 to 130 km/h. I’ve contacted the dealer and the Scala is going to the workshop the 18th january.

The All of it. After leaving the highway it even seems worse at lower speeds for about 15 minutes or so. Then it sort of settles down.

So I’ve just been at the dealership. They rebalanced the tires and checked the car, so everythinf should be fine. Sadly though, it didn’t resolve the issue… It feels like driving on gravel 😩 So I’m thinking about what to do next. Going back to the dealer for sure, but considering going to another Skoda dealership and letting them look at it.

I’ve taken some pictures of the suspension. It doesn’t seem like there’s any transport blocks, but i’ve never seen cable ties used on the suspension. The cable ties are on the rear suspension – is this normal?

Thanks for the quick answers 😊 Yes the dealers fit the wheels. I’ve checked the tire pressure. It was 2.6 in front and 2.8 in the back. I’ve changed it to 2.4 in front and 2.5 in the back, plus resat the TPMS. I’ll mention the transport block when i’m at the dealer… really hope they have removed them though, although it doesn’t feel like that when at higher speeds 🫣

Hi I’ve just received my factory new Skoda Scala 1.5 TSI 150 dsg about 2 weeks ago, but i’m having trouble with the suspension. The ride feels really jitterich and unsettled and on the motorway in jumps/vibrates a lot. Is this normal for the Scala? Testdrove it before buying, on a and b roads and it seemed fine, but didn’t test it on the highway. I’m riding on 16 inch winter tires (Goodyear Ultragrip) I’m taking it to the Skoda dealer, so they can look at it at the 5. January.
