I don't know exactly but from what i have been able to deduce I'm quite sure it's 05E 906 018 AL.

That means my theory is wrong. 
Perhaps the reason is still in different alternators. As I understand it correctly, there are 3 different ones.  It would be nice to make statistics with which cars are jerking. 
But how to find out exactly which alternator is installed in the car?!

One thing that differentiates is whether it was built with preparation for towing or not. A more powerful alternator is then installed. Mine does not have this.

My MY19 Superb 1.5 TSi had a retractable towbar which I chose as a factory-fitted option, but it also suffered from both the second gear flat spot and the kangarooing.

 

So, in the Superb at least, even if the towbar prep led to installation of  a different alternator, this was not a differentiating factor in the presence of the "characteristics".

Thanks for information.

Nevertheless, it would be interesting to compile statistics knowing exactly which alternator is installed.

They are 110A, 140A and 180A. Two firms, Bosch and Valeo.

 

I'm so tired of jerking that I’m ready to take a chance and change the alternator current generator. Because it seems to me that VAG does not care about us. And they won’t do anything to solve the problem.

Are you sure? The only parts Skoda claim are different is the fan and grill.

 

The battery and alternator are unaffected...

I think it might be different whether it's retrofitted or done at the factory. When I tried to look up the details what preparation for towing included I couldn't find the details anymore. What I was able to gather from other sources is that at least a larger battery and increased cooling is included in the towing preparation package. Maybe I'm wrong about the alternator as I only have it from memory. 

Which are running their 202 car survey.  If you had first gear problems you may wish to enter the survey.

Hope your diesel BMW came with ear defenders as I can hear my neighbours 64 plate BMW 420D when it clatters into life and rumbles past my house. That's when  he is not using his horn to wake me up when I'm working nights. Hardly surprising no-one will let a BMW driver out of a T-Junction.

I have to say this is first time and probably last time with a VAG brand. There are problems, lack of solving them, the whole approach from the business us so cut and dry and business is too big too care or to hurry

Neighbour has been given an ASBO and his best friend found guilty in a Magistrates Court of aggravated racial comments aimed at my African wife so hope you don't share any of his character traits. Also had the joy of waiting 20 months for VAG to sort out the mess which was the first gear hesitation so don't appreciate someone poking fun at my/our experiences.

Sorry to hear you have nightmare neighbour to. One round every corner unfortunately.

Had the 24EV Engine control unit update done on my Skoda Karoq SEL 1.5 on 1.10.19. Problems in 1st & 2nd gear are still present. Waste of time taking it to a different dealership, they stuck by the "characteristic" story & told me to put the car into 1st gear at 10mph. Then I had an independent inspection carried out by Dekra. They confirmed 1st & 2nd gear issues to be present at the inspection & to be ongoing. They did not diagnose the fault as I thought they would, but consider it to be a mechanical fault & to refer it back to the manufacturer. I sent in my final right to reject and am now waiting to hear from dealership. Skoda UK refer me back to VWFS. VWFS say they are not responsible because I repaid and withdrew early. They say "there is no fault", "Indeed, unless the expert is able to identify a fault there is no evidence the vehicle is not of satisfactory quality".  They also said "There is no recognised fault", "there are no recalls" and "the software update is not a repair".

@Karr3

Is your car not part of a Recall where the DVLA in the UK gave Registered keepers details to VW UK / Skoda UK?

http://skoda-auto.com/services/recall-actions

 

That is flagged as a Safety Recall.

Not sure, the dealership insists that mine was not a recall although the paperwork they had did say recall. They would not let me have a copy. I have sent V888 to DVLA for more info. 

The thing with a Safety Recall is the Registered Keeper should receive a RECALL Letter,  not some vague call from a person at a Dealership. That is a recall action / service campaign.

 

The next thing is with a car, if you own it or even just drive it you are responsible and not some muppet at a desk refusing you information on any actions being carried out on your property for your safety, your passengers and the innocent public.

 

Data Protection is for your protection and maybe their Employees, but that does not make them the Skoda Secret Service. 

 

Get all the records from the Warranty Provider and those putting Service Campaigns & Recalls or recall actions in place.

After all they are the ones that say you must comply with them in the Warranty T&C's.

I can't believe that after all this time the problem hasn't been fixed to every owners satisfaction, the bulls**t coming out of Skoda is mind boggling, either fix the cars to the owners satisfaction or take the cars back and refund the owners end of. Does anybody know if the latest versions of the 1.5TSI Evo engine in all VAG Group cars are trouble free or are VAG perpetuating the "characteristic nonsense"

I don’t know if anybody is aware or it has been mentioned but both the DACA (130) and DADA (150) variants have been replaced by the DPBA (130) and DPCA (150)

 

this is on the seat leon, my leon on a 68 plate (first of the 1.5tsi’s) is a DACA and the most recent 69 plates are either DPBA or DPCA, seems strange an engine would be updated within a year of release. Points to me a major issue that required a whole new engine.

 

owners of the newest engine codes report no problems.

 

paints a pretty clear picture to me

If someone can highlight the differences of the new engine...

That i do not know, i have only been made aware of this information today,

 

seems strange in the leon anyways the DACA and DADA 1.5 tsi’s came out on 68 plates and were already replaced come 69 plates with the new engine codes DPBA and DPCA. So 2 engines that had a run of 1 year and thousands of complaints, seems to me they must have a fundamental design flaw and needed replaced quick smart. Thats just my theory
