Seasons greetings. It appears, as with many new cars, there is no such thing as a hard copy owners manual anymore. Skoda confirmed they do not sell them. I have found a PDF version online but find these hard work to read and impractical to use when in the vehicle. I don't have a printer and moreover it would be a mega task to print all the pages. Does anyone have any suggestions to this issue. Many thanks

God bless ya, that's just what I wanted to hear 🙂👍 Very early days so..... Really doesn't help when the owners manual states "not suitable for short start stop journeys" Thanks

Hey, thanks for your reply. I have a feeling that it is as SurreyJohn says. This only happens when the car starts and for the first 5 minutes or so. Being an auto the higher revs means the normal creep and hold is affected.

Did a search and didn't find anyone who'd had an issue with a blocked one. Just really p****d off that going to petrol to avoid constant DPF issues I'm confronted with GPFs not suitable for short start stop journeys either. Seems manufacturers are puppets of net zero regs. Thanks for all the replies

I would like that link please. I thought GPF was American and PPF here.

Thank you for your reply. That's reassuring to hear, appreciate it.

SurreyJohn, thanks for your reply, Higher revs at start up would explain why the car doesn't slow down as expected in traffic. I've just bought this car to replace Yeti diesel as people say diesels are not good for short start stop journeys and they're right as constant active regens were getting to be a pain. To read that these cars are not suitable for this driving either is a bugger. How many people do any other type of driving, especially in a city where most journeys are short stop start and idling in traffic. That leaves the choice of earlier euro 5 without PPF or hybrid, full EV. Only just bought this so time will tell if this is, as you say, less problematic as a DPF. Hey ho

Hello Rooted, Thanks for your reply. That is the page I saw which alerted me to this issue. I also noted that it said that, as with diesel cars, short stop start journeys are not good for petrol cars either with this filter. As I've just changed to petrol from a Yeti diesel to avoid regen issues this isn't good news. Time will tell.

Hello, 2019 1.5 SE I heard particle filters were fitted to some newer petrol engines but was surprised to see this in the owners manual. Does this model have such a thing ? Thank you

Newbie. Looking forward to a wealth of helpfull info from owners who know more than Skoda.
