I went from a MK7 Golf with lots of tech and spec to a MK5 Golf when i came back to the UK. Then when I went for the skoda, i was able to get a newer car in a reasonable spec for the same price as a less than good con and higher mileage VW. Another example is my other half has a Scala, which is newer than mine but a lot of the parts like the brakes are off a mk4 golf! Plus no Electronic Park Brakes.

Generally, i dont like to be one of those people to open up another topic that has been exhausted time and time again, but after extensive research, i really am struggling to find a forum response that matches fully with my issue. I brought my 1.2 tsi 2016 CJZD Rapid earlier this year. As soon as I picked up the car, i noticed the issue, but the garage i purchased it from had wiped their hands clean. Since then, i have been trying to research and diagnose the issue without throwing the parts cannon at it. I am experiencing misfires and hesitations at 1500 and 1800 rpm which generally can be replicated on the driveway as well as on the road when your at 30mph and your not under load. When driving, the hesitation and mini kangaroo hops occur when going from gliding to applying a little load. Similar to if you were slowing up to a roundabout and then reach for a few revs to pull away gently. The severity of the hesitation and hops can vary sporadically or with temperature of the car and even the temp outside. No codes on diag tool other than random mis fires on all cylinders. Unsure of when they were last done, first things first, changed the plugs with oil and air filter change too. Oil flush and injector cleaner used too. Technicians at work said coils all day long despite me testing them and the wiring. But i changed them, but it did not cure the issue. From there, checked live data whilst driving and it was running rich at low revs but not high. I checked all hoses and pipes and changed out some seals before smoke testing the system. I had a theory that if the coolant temp sensor was reading incorrectly and the ecu thought it should still be in cold mode, that would cause the timing to be pulled and could cause similar symptoms. So when the diag tool said 70 degrees when the dash said 90, i swapped out the sensor. Cold starts are better but the misfires remain. Performed a leak down and even though there was leakage, it was not terrible and was consistent across the board. Any ideas guys?

Afternoon all. Early this year, i made the plunge. I moved across to Skoda from VW. Perhaps they are all the same or perhaps im just getting older and actually, having a decent car with a few less gadgets and a more affordable price tag is more important to me. Anyway, hi all.
