Hello, thanks for your comment. No, it's a 6-gear manual. This is not the ACT for sure. I even notice this incidence when the car stands still and in neutral. So following a cold start the rev.is over 1000rpm for a while then it should go down to the "normal" set idle rpm but it isn't and it remains on 900-1000rpm which is slightly higher than it should be - I guess..... Then I turn the engine off and on again and the rev visibly gets lower, about 800-900rpm. But just until the moment when I push the throttle so the rev.goes up and down again but instead staying on the 800-900rpm normal idle it's 900+ again for some reason. I am wondering if my throttle positions sensor does not go back to full zero. If I let the start/stop system (which is annoying for me and I used to turn it off immediately) to start the engine, the rev. also around 900-1000 rpm again. So just the manual on/off normalizes the rev but just for the moment I apply a little throttle. I hope I was understandable..... I am about to make a short video of this issue to make it more visible. And still looking for solutions or confirmation that it's normal and another Scala users have the same thing (which may not be an issue but a normal behaviour). Thanks in advance!

Hi All, days ago when I was cruising at almost idle speed in 3rd I have noticed that for some reason the car goes slightly faster, so I stopped to check the idle RPM and it was around 950rpm. However in other days it just remains normal around 850 or something. Weather conditions and everything was almost the same, oil was hot etc. I've also noticed when I turn the engine off then on it makes itself normal and rpm becomes stable, around 850rpm again. Any idea why this is happening ? What could make the idle rpm to be higher sometimes?

Letters are just taped on so no worries. I have done that on my previous car (Peugeot) after 10 years and there were no marks behind the letters. I used a hairdryer instead heatgun as I didnt want the surface to get too warm and make some damage on the paint. However I like the huge S K O D A on the tail, I would rather swap to black ones instead removing them. Mine is a moon white metallic.

Hi, on my 09/23 Scala there's no cover as well. I was quite surprised but this fire issue makes sense. I don't think this plastic thing could reduce any noise, it's rather to keep dirt and dust out. However it could make some noise if those rubber gromets get loose.
