the combination of stop/start/dsg and 3 cylinders make it exciting to pull away and not in a good way

I would strongly suggest you try other engine/gearbox combinations, other models/makes within budget

1ltr petrol dsg is sluggish

Smallest ive had, 1 child seat seems to fill it Mondeo Superb (3) Etate (1) Octavia Karoq Epica Passat (4)

hire one for a week... you may change your mind and the boots tiny

how do i do that?

Agreed, worse thing ive come across apart from crossply tyres...

Had a 1.5 petrol 150bhp manual Karoq R-line for 5 months, took some getting used to, grip in the wet/snow awful but it went well, did 46mpg (urban mainly) .... Got to 10,000 miles and got told to swap cars, got a brand new Kamiq Monte Carlo 1ltr petrol DSG with 30 miles on the clock, god what a difference...not in a good way having to stick shift it to get it to pull from a standstill, then use "S" on auto.... and rag it to move well and avoid other cars the box is the worst ive come across, slow to kick down (when im in D), thought i was going to die joining a rounabout with cars to avoid... driver lane correction refuses to go away (or i get it off with warning lights) automatic central locking wont go away/cant delete it rear sensor only, no front sensors (is this a budget trim?) Getting 40mpg so whoever thought it may cost less to run should have his/her abacus taken off him/her/them..... it might win on a 200 mile motorway cruise but all my miles are on the urban school run banger race circuit

I stated the fact Ive driven loads of autos, from a Rover P5 to a E250 merc, the gearbox on mine, whichever it was, was crap

The 2019 68 plate octavia dsg exploded at 40,000 miles, skoda fitted new engine FOC To be honest the car drove awful, and the gear box was a right POS, slow late soggy changes I got it back from Skoda, next time it moved was onto a Cazoo transporter I made £1400 on it but it was the worst 3 weeks of my car owning life Ford or MB for me now

I've invoices for services but no service book, how do I access the online record?

*Note to younger members (i.e. anyone under 40 years old) We didnt need laptops either

Injected was the MG Efi. I'm sure that was a different engine, im certain the MG turbo had 1 SU carb Any more would have made your eyes bleed on full chat Pity the brakes weren't as good I believe for a while the MG turbo Maestro was the quickest factory production 4 door The Tickford body kit was nice Rarer than hens teeth now

Well it was factory built Might be loads like it As for the Montego... Hairy and a Licence loser for sure The MG Maestro turbo was pure lunacy

Also had a MG Montego Turbo Flying machine

I had a 2300cv viva (not magnum) Basically a VX 4/90 engine and box shoehorned into a HC viva, Vauxhalls answer to hot fords, looked standard except for RoStyle wheels No room to work around engine and box

my 68 plate 1.6 diesel is far noiser and harsher on the road than my previous Superbs and Passat, like tyre pressures are 60psi...(they arent) though ive new Dunlops on the front...?

I recall when white was a non-seller for dealers............... (white id the only no cost paint on a Tesla)

I only recall a removeable panel in the bellhousing, cheap clips didnt work, i borrowed some sykes pickavant and it took under an hour

Or Bang n £6000 No bang no £6000

Not keen 7 speed DSG changes up early causing engine to labour unless I use the stick shift Its stop start cuts the engine whilst car is still moving

Correct term is interference or non-interference

Thats its trick I did mine, £40 job

I had a cambelt fail on a 1.8 Sierra turbo diesel, £400 skim head/new valves, back on the road, the 2.5di transit could shed a belt and be running again with a set of cam followers fitted we are going backwards not forwards Special Award if anyone can tell me the special secret of the FWD Vauxhall Cavalier (at least the petrol models)

I recall possibly the 1st engines with cambelts in the UK (Ford Pinto) and the soft camshafts they had too
