Can anyone kindly help please. Heavy traffic. Done probably a mile at less than walking pace. I'm in D2 on the DSG controlling speed of creep on the foot brake. Suddenly with no warning engine revs rise fast to 3200. Hold for 1 or 2 seconds then drop to normal. These revs have no effect on road speed or I would have smashed into car(s) in front. I know how fast this thing can accelerate. In fact it is very unruffled and feels fully under control all round. Like the car or just the gearbox is pretending not to notice anything unusual at all. It has done this three times (all in crawl) in the last three months. Dealer says never heard of it but "lets get it in and see what we can find"--like my wallet. Thanks.

I've failed to find the answer to this, probably because I have not yet looked in the right place. Is the suspension ,all the components ,tougher on the Kamiq compared with the Fabia Scala or Octavia, so more likely to survive the potholes. I look on the Kamiq as a mini off-roader. Thanks

Can one of you very smart blokes tell me this. (It puzzles me). Is the fuel used to start automatically greater than would be used by sitting and idling. Or does it vary with how long it is between stop and start. OR in other words does stop start REALLY save fuel or just make you feel good about saving the air quality (while wrecking your starter motor and your battery). Just for info I really like stop start (but hate its lousy performance when everything is cold) but don't like the feeling I might have been "had". Could have been researched by some students one day. Best wishes. Thank you very much.

It is easy to confuse Automatic Braking warning and Unsmooth ( or Non fluid )driving warning

I am trying to like the Scala enough to buy one to replace my fabulous Fabia estate. Before the Fabia I had an early Rapid which had a good engine and gearbox and nothing else. I keep looking at the Scala as an updated Rapid Spaceback. But my head tells me it is just much better than than that. It must be mustn't it? Does anyone reckon on a Scala estate one day? Any thoughts will be much appreciated.

The day I change my Fabia Estate for whatever I get draws near. I've just discovered the cars I'm thinking of do not have 12 volt fag lighter sockets -- only USB-C. You can get USB to 12 volt female socket converter adaptors. Please does anyone know, are all USB outlets the same size. None of the convertors say what USB type -- B or C, they are. Or is there any other way of using my Tyre pressure pump or Garmin. Progress eh? Thank you.
