Hello everyone. 

 

Recently purchased my vrs mk3 petrol!

 

Just a general question as to whether this is normal behavior... 

 

3rd gear, slowing down for a quick junction ( large roundabout or slip road for example) 

 

When lightly on the brakes and the rpm is around 1500. The revs will drop to 1100. Then when I press throttle. There is a large delay  1-1.5 seconds before anything happens! Then the revs jump straight up to 1800ish. 

 

Very uncomfortable. And doesn't seem right. 

I can replicate this 80% of the time. 

 I'm driving in normal mode 

Am yet to see if it does it in sport mode. 

 

Any input appreciated

 

 

A video would be handy. 

Are you manual or dsg?

No worries at all 👍

Depending on mileage it may be due a service. The DQ250 needs one every 40,000 miles. The DSG might also need a software update.

One thing I would do though is get it reset and adapted. This can be done by VCDS or OBDELEVEN. I have the latter and it does make the gearbox nice and smooth again. If not you could speak to Skoda or another VAG specialist who is able to do it. Equally there are people on here who have VCDS who do work for beer tokens etc.

If you purchased it from a garage I would make them aware of the issue purely from a warranty perspective, as every used car has 6 months under the Consumer Rights Act of 2015.

It's at 32k  I was planning on getting it done In the next 6 months or so! 

 

I'll try the readaption first and see if that does the trick. 

 

Cheers man 

Yerr - welcome to the world of time-based acceleration. All VW, Seat and Skodas are configured with a time based acceleration from the factory - as opposed to Audi - who have a linear based setup.  Transforms the car.

 

Scroll down to Gizmo's posting - who gives you the mods you need.

 

Whilst you are online on VCDS or ODBEleven - just make sure your pedal is not going faulty - because that will also give the same jerky throttle response.

If you have the driver profile button on the console near the gear lever you don't need to do any coding. If you leave it in sport mode it is in direct mode. All the coding does is to switch all profiles to direct as opposed to eco and normal being incremental.
