See above regards to the clutch. Thank you for your advice- I don’t have access/ any idea what VDCS / OBDeleven is! I’ll have a look but it sounds like the second option might be a better idea for the novice!

It almost depends what gear your in- sometimes is ok near the bottom, others it felt very high and therefore I ended up over revving by accident. Mum finds it incredibly easy to stall because you don’t get any feel through the pedal. With my Fiesta, my foot was practically sprung back in comparison. It’s really hard to tell where the biting point is as it doesn’t feel like it engages in the same way as a typical manual would for example doing a hill start- you have to pray for the best! I found myself constantly looking at the revs to see when I could change gear, and even then, that’s not always reliable. Edit to add: I asked mum and she says: “It never bites, you just have guess”

Hi my mum has recently bought a 2021 Skoda Suberb Manual (diesel) after having to trade in her Audi A6. She’s found that she’s constantly stalling, or feeling she’s out of gear and after 40 odd years of long distance driving and no claims bonus- I’m not sure she’s the issue. I offered to try it and see if I could help with the issue (I drive a FordFiesta 1L Ecoboost Petrol) and potentially give advice if I find anything she’s yet to spot. In comparison, the Skoda has no feedback through the pedals (this is marginally better in Sport Mode) and no feeling of being able to find a biting point at all- overall a very flimsy feel. Driving very leisurely, it’s ok but the minute you ask something from it, it over-revvs, stalls, or generally struggles. Is this a normal thing to expect from the Skoda or is it an issue? Is it genuinely just both the drivers not being able to drive? I’ve driven a couple other cars in my time as a driver and none have felt like this! (Fiat 500, Audi A6 and a Ford Fiesta Petrol)
