how are owners finding it ?

 

my observations : so-so around town . a beast when overtaking uphill on the motorway .

 

lack of pedal / thrust linearity . first few cm quite soggy, then there's a sudden great gob of surge when the second turbo kicks in and DSG downshifts concurrently 

 

i came from a 250 Nm Superb, and am surprised that the 500 Nm Kodiaq seems to require the same level of downshifting to provide a given amount of acceleration

 

wish it was more perky in the 0-50kmh range

Switch to Sport mode with gear lever (or through drive mode selection), response gets better.

Or use VCDS to activate Direct Acceleration. Throttle pedal gets really sensitive. Too sensitive for me though.

How many miles done? It wakes up after 20 - 30 000 km. But I felt it was still lacking the last bit.

So I remapped it to 215 kW / 590 Nm and now the RS is perfect.

gear lever Sport mode : does it sensitise throttle input , or only DSG shift points ?

 

VCDS for Direct Acceleration : warranty breaker ?

 

1000km 

 

that's a sweet remap . not concerned about warranty ?

No.

 

1000 km - it only has started it`s run in.
