Fabia vRS kangerooing after 40mph

Featured Replies

So my 2011 vRS has been kangerooing in higher gears 4, 5 and 6 it’s been like this for a week, on Sunday the EPC Light came on at 60mph on the motorway and car went into limp mode and was slowly losing power. Pulled over took the key out and restarted it and got back home, yesterday I changed all four spark plugs to the upgraded ones recommended on here in which the problem is still there but not as severe but it is still kangerooing/juddering.brief history Car has full dealer service history latest service was 3000 miles ago in June which included the fuel filter and air filter. New engine was installed in August 2016 13,000 miles ago . Service campaign on the gearbox oil was done 5 years ago at service. Clutch pack 1 replaced 3 years ago. Any thoughts would be appreciated it goes into the dealers tomorrow.

It will be the original Water Pump / Magnetic Supercharger clutch that is fitted to the engine i imagine, so maybe that needs replacing.

 

PS

Service Campaign '34F5' was started by Skoda UK in May 2014, 

so maybe that was when the Oil was changed in the DSG, the date should be on the sticker in the boot.

Was dreading it would be the supercharger clutch/water pump was hoping a faulty coil pack or map sensor, yep the dsg oil was changed in 2014.
