The OP says there is a problem and says why. But apparently there is no problem just the car doing what the car does. So really not that complicated.

It invalidates the manufacturers warranty, just like it says in the Warranty. Non Factory approved Software or Hardware.

Watch the many youtube,s of a 1.5 TSI ACT DSG mHEV,s accelerating or POV,s and see them go to the red line. Mk2 Fabia vRS 1.4 TSI Twinchargers have a DQ200 and you can rev beyond the red line. 250 Nm / 180 ps. and can be mapped to over 200 bhp / 320 Nm and still go to max rpm with that at about 4,500 -5,000pm. Polo 1.8 TSI 2014 on re 192 ps / 250 Nm and rev to the red line.

VW,s Media Department must be a right lazy bunch along with the management. Someone must just send across to the crazy people at AutoExpress some info and they publish it. We are still being told around £20,000 & 2025. 'Soon' must have a different meaning at Autoexpress!

You know now what it is all about. So how many miles has the car done?

@Samstan The next trial is do it again with boiling water and then pour cold water on right after.

What will be will be. Time to look back on things in a decade.

Boil the kettle and then pour boiling water on the cap and try loosening the cap.

A member has an Octavia with this engine / DSG. @djorouscould maybe say how it is. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/516512-how-to-find-out-the-what-is-my-gearbox-model-octavia

Well yes it is with a Hybrid or a Diesel or driving with care. Maybe a Panamera E-Hybrid whuch seems popular up in the Oil Capital of the UK. If he wanted an ICE Porsche and visits a dealer today i am sure they will take back his rented car and rent him another. He could then maybe tell us the difference as a business user the annual cost to him. What he plays at is when the charging is at the cheapest he brims it. If he was running just between going down to 10 % and filling up to 90 % with the he would be doing well. 80% use. There are 93 kWh or 79.2 kWh usable. so since he got in 78.9 kWh i take it he has the big battery. But one should never assume.

Someone will be along and explain or look through threads posts on here. Your 9 year old TDI with a DPF has to clear soot so do regens.

Bump.

How few Petrol & Diesel Vehicles have to be left on UK roads before there are no filling stations? When does there actually come a time when car parts are not available to maintain ICE vehicles in the UK or the rest of the world? Much of the Youtube stuff is becoming ridiculous from those making a living producing pure guff pro and anti EV. Mostly telling what others said about the future and their predictions & guesses and just general nonsense. *30 pence a kWh for him on Ionity with the Porsche card.* 78.93 kWh for £23.68. If you gets 3.5 miles a kWh that is 276.5 miles. If he was in a Porsche ICE getting 45 mpg that would be 6 gallons ish. 27.7 litres. If £1.46 a litre £40.00. Surely he is a Business user for Tax Purposes and the EV vehicle is a tool of the trade for the utter tool.

Is it a diesel and is it doing regens?

@lol-lolthat is ICE CARS he is talking about not 'Mass ICE vehicles.'

The key should not be able to be removed with the shifter in D. But it should and could in N.

7 speed wet clutch DSG, put it in D and drive. Like every rep / Sales person in a Demonstrator does. The only difference is they are in a unloaded car. The p1ss in owners manuals has been the same for decades. @NX01If you are buying oil for top up,s or asking the Sales Person for a litre free, it is to the spec VW 508 00 / 509 00. 0w 20 FS IV. So not the 0w 30 FS III or 5w 30 FS III if that is what have have available. that is VW 504 00 / 507 00

Have fun. Run in the tyres after checking and resetting the tyre pressures. Get the newness off them. Run in the brakes / pads and the suspension & the engine and gearbox will be fine. Check the Oil cold when you get the car and then when at the normal operating temperature and know where the levels are for future refferance.

Well it was around freezing this morning and yesterday in places in Scotland and below 10*oC in lots of places & it is September. So maybe on Average for 4 months the ambient day and nights could be below 10*oC. That is what the EV drivers travelling in some areas need to remember. That and the AA, RAC, SMMT , Uk Government and many more are in a parallel Universe, or a bit Southern based. Even the Scottish Government can hardly see north of the Central Belt of Scotland.

^^^ Fantastic. But every time the cost of Rapid Charging compared to petrol or diesel then Home / Work fast charging or Fast public charging need not be brought into it. If the Average Rapid Charging is 50 pence a kwh and you want 30 kWh that is £15.00 & if getting 3.5 miles to the kWh that is 105 miles. So OK compared to a ICE if getting under 52.5 MPG & if a Gallon is £7.50 or more. Petrol @ 146 pence a litre, £6.64 or so. Rapid Charging at Public chargers is not just an average 50 pence a kWh though. So lets say 60 pence. 30 kWh @ 60 pence is £18.00. ............. I had 13kWh of AC charging free yesterday and today, & @ 4.2 miles per kWh that is 54.5 miles free miles. I have had 43 kWh at no cost during the week, so that is another about 170 miles worth. Nothing to do with the cost of Public Rapid charging though. If i had paid for Public Charging near to home on Council Chargers with 50 kW DC that would have been £23.00 With Aberdeenshire Council £26.32 If in Perth & Kinross on their councils chargers £19.60 Edinburgh City Council £30.80 & Highland Region Council £39.20 To get @ 4 miles a kWh, only 224 miles.

http://autoexpress.co.uk/news/360979/electric-car-rapid-charging-cheaper-petrol-or-diesel-pump-prices-soar The 'Averages' are a load of b0llocks and as for the Corsa electric and if it is 50 kWh usable battery and 222 miles, that is pure Pith. based on 4.4 miles / kWh. Padstow, Pontypool or Perth. I just know about Perth. 35 pence a kWh on Council Rapid chargers, 62 pence @ PodPoint, and as much as 79 pence a kWh at others, maybe the TESLA chargers are helping their averages. ( there is a lot of the UK north of Perth and of Inverness were the Highland Regional Council has a tariff of 70 pence a kWh for rapid charging.)

Do not DIY, unless you know about DQ200,s as these are different from a DQ250 which is the one oil in the Box & MCU. The DQ200 has 2 oils. There is a DIY thread, and i could link 2 of them but i will not. Leave the DQ200 well alone unless a high mileage done and maybe even then. There was the World Wide recall 2012 which excluded Europe and that was in DQ200,s 2009-2012. '34F7' changine the oi from Synthetic to mineral and a software update. In Europe a Service campaign started in 2014 to do these. Then in 2017 Service Campaign '34H5' was started on some from 2013-2015. a Software update. This has been restarted 2 times since in Australia because there were missed cars. This was about Heat /Pressure and failures, cracks, leaks & the accumulator. There are TPI,s covering DQ200,s from 2015 on, Clutch Slip & there were Clutch Pack Upgrades and Software updates, There are threads on here on that. With a 2017 on DQ200 DSG working fine, leave well alone IMO.

Welcome. There is no service schedule, guidelines, recommendations or specification for Servicing / Oil changes. It is a DQ200 DSG.

2.0 TDI though and the 115ps and a DQ200 DSG. Mapped / Engine Management all about the WLTP / RDE2. So they need driven to see if they suit. (The Golf issue was the no physical buttons and the stuff you needed to use at night was no back lit. The ACC was amazing though and the GPS & backing off and power cut / coasting available automatically) This was the drive home on back roads but once used to it the economy was as good at NSL,s.)

I have not driven one of these Karoqs with this drivetrain. I have had for a week a VW Golf 2.0 TDI 115ps DSG. It could do very good efficiency. The DSG in D pulling away from a standstill was dire. The shift from 1st to 2nd. I had to put it to S when stopped at a junction and have it shift up and get a move on. Otherwise it was good and fine in D. 70 plus mpg was easily achieved.
