Update: After further diagnostics Skoda has agreed to replace the clutch free of charge They will need the car in for 1 or 2 days once part arrives

Thanks for that Paul. I'm hoping they can come up with a reasonable proposal or it might be Small Claims Court based on Consumer Act (part not fit for purpose)

After I further advised my dealership of my clutch issue based on knowledge in this forum they took it in again today for another diagnostic check (free). They have now agreed and confirmed it needs a new clutch. As 2019 Karoq is out of warranty they will further advise in a couple of days whether they will pay for parts, labour, everything or nothing. I will then decide whether or not to start a media campaign highlighting the DQ200 clutch problem prior to the launch of the new Skoda range in February 2024

I have a 2019 1.5 TSI DSG and have exactly the sound you described when accelerating in 1st/2nd gear. I am sure it's a DSG issue and hoping it doesn't get worse. Dealership heard sound and said they were 90% it was rear brakes as the discs were scored and pitted (£426 quote discs/pads) . This morning I was booked in with an independent and they they changed the pads (£32 + labour) and said there was nothing wrong with discs - not scored or pitted and perfectly within legal limits. We took it out and the short whirring noise is still there so we are fairly certain it's the DSG. Dealership say it's not covered in warranty and would charge a fortune to try fix problem in gearbox so i might contact Skoda directly
