tony2311 replied to clover's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
how old is your car? mine was replace under warrentee. With labour the job was over £2000 it should always be smooth. hot or cold i still struggle to know when the car changes gear. i had the car from new and have cover 50,000 miles. still amazes me how it changes gear and i feel nothing -

Had similar problem and Skoda change the mechatronics unit. If you drive normal. You wouldn't feel any gear changes.only way you know it has chang gear is when you look on display or rev counter. It is really smooth -
Map update is very expensive on Kenwood units

£80

You will get very little discount as car has just came out, nothing like the vat free that was on octavia for months

Mine is a jul 2011, after 18,000 gentle miles in a 1.2 tsi, it has fail and a new unit is to be fitted after new year. is the electronic clutch assembly chan110 when you test drive a DSG it should be smooth and under normal driving you shouldnt know the car has change gear, the mechcanic during testing took my car to a hill start, it jerk a little when it should be so smooth. if you dont know dsg you wouldnt know there was a fault in mine. just test drive a new one and see how smooth it is so you will know what to expect -
