The only occasion I had an Automatic (conventional or DSG) stall was as a result of a fault (idle control valve). Not sure how an automatic would stall otherwise?

There is an individual mode where steering, engine, AC and suspension (assuming you have DCC?) can be configured independently. The car can only be in a single mode at any given time.

I have the same car and despite taking seats out many times have never come across anything resembling this. Google image search suggests it might be an upholstery washer? https://upholsterywarehouse.co.uk/products/washers-50mm-diameter

And the closest I'll get to a Bonfire this week 🔥 😀 20241103_170436.mp4

Glorious autumnal colours this afternoon 🍂

Yes - still stalls if the revs drop too low - suspect that aspect is a characteristic of this engine, which seems to not tolerate 'lugging' at lower revs? The throttle does however feel more positive and I find it easier to modulate, especially at lower speeds👍

The supplying dealer took a look at the car yesterday and said they've seen similar issues with other Karoq's and now plan to change the front antiroll bar - car booked in shortly and I'll report back regarding any improvement 👍

Good to hear 👍

Thanks for that - I must get around to test driving a 2.0 TSi 👍

Not had that problem for a while as I think I've got used to the engines tendency to stall at lower revs, so tend to drive around the he issue and use more revs. Car feels more positive to drive with the alternate throttle setting though.

Yes - these were the options displayed for my 2023 1.5 TSi Karoq 👍 I'm running the latest Carista Beta.

A few hundred miles now covered with 'direct' and the car is noticeably easier to drive and less prone to stalling 👍

Blimey - not a box to own out of warranty! Certainly agree regarding ZF torque converter boxes, based on my experience of 6, 7 & 8 speed iterations.

Car is now more positive to drive in traffic and the throttle is easier to modulate a lower speeds - I've covered a few hundred miles with the new throttle setting and will stick with 'direct'👍

Carista has this:

I'll check when I'm next in the car and will report back 👍

Same for me - hoping to take mine in for a further attempt at rectification shortly

Glorious again this afternoon.........

Which VAG cars have the DQ381 transmission?

Early indications are this (https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/527560-throttle-adaption-now-available-in-carista/) alteration to throttle mapping has made a positive difference to the cars drivability👍

Initial thoughts are this is a positive👍

I have the same car as you and my understanding is the mode button (by the gearstick) allows you to select between one of four modes in which throttle mapping, AC mode and steering weight are varied. On each restart the car defaults to back to normal. There is a small indicator in the top left of the virtual dash to indicate which mode the car is in. The blue 'Eco' light (lower right) comes on irrespective of car mode and reflects when the engine has switched to two cylinder mode. I'm not aware of a method of disabling 2 cylinder mode, although guess it might be possible with VCDS?

What a great choice of colour 👌

In all other VAG cars I have owned Carista had the option to switch throttle response behaviour between 'gradual' & 'direct' but this wasn't available for my March 2023 1.5 TSi Karoq until now! (I'm on Beta) Given well publicised difficulties with driveability / ease of stalling I was keen to try this option and will report back on my experience with a switch from gradual to direct 👍
