Thanks guys. I’m not overly impressed with the gear change program on the Passat and I guess it would be the same as the Superb. In Drive it tries to change up way too early and doesn’t respond when it really needs to change down (and then changes down 3 gears …) In Sport it screams along in 3rd at 70mph until it finally changes up half a mile down the road…. Think I’ll leave it. Shame though as the rest of the car looks mint

Hello, Currently have a 2018 Passat 1.4 TSI business SE with 50k on the clock. It’s got the dq200 box on it, mechatronic unit has just started to leak but it’s been squealing when changing in to the odd gears for a few years (no loss of drive then). I’ve been looking at Octavia VRS but found a Superb with 10 miles on the clock, 1.5 TSI winter pack. Looks very nice BUT it’s also got the dq200 box…….. Has VW made any updates to the dq200 in the last 8 years or so? I’m also thinking that I could view this as just offsetting the cost of a rebuilt box for the Passat and get a ‘new’ car with a shed load more features on it (the Passat doesn’t even have climate !!)

ECU thrown a P0141. post cat sensor heater resistance too high. New sensor. Same problem. Next part is to test the wiring from the lambda plug to the ecu. how the **** are you supposed to get the ECU plug off? it’s got some sort of chastity belt on with two anti-tamper screws!!

Hello, got a 2015 Fabia with the 1.2 TSI CJZC engine. about 2 months ago orange engine light and a 2096 error code with is the lambda sensor down stream of the cat. only bought the car in July last year from a Skoda dealer hence it was fixed under warranty (they just replaced the sensor). 1 month ago same issue and whilst waiting for Skoda to get yet another sensor the car went for its MOT and failed on emissions (high CO). Garage says over fueling and cat might be damaged. back to Skoda. They now say that the post cat sensor needs replacing again but also the ‘vacuum sensor and pipe….). I asked if they meant the MAP in the pipe between the turbo and the inlet manifold but they were insistent that it was a vacuum sensor…. is there a vacuum sensor on the induction system ?? If so where and what does it do? as it’s a turbo charged engine the inlet will be running above atmospheric pressure (rather than below for a NA engine). any help gratefully received, have a good one Dave
