Hi Folks, 

Had my 68plate Skoda Karoq a couple of weeks now and generally I love it, even considering I came from my golf r estate.

However, I have noticed that at around 16-1800 rpm the engine noise seems really intrusive (even at cruising speeds). General cabin noise is fine but I feel the engine noise seems much noise than expected. The only way I could describe it would be if the engine cover was loose or if the airbag was loose (checked these and its not the case). I know this could be just be the fact that its a diesel, but I have owned plenty and feel like this is is noisier during that particular rev range. Has anybody else experienced this with the 1.6tdi?

 

Also not sure whether this is an issue or not but it seems like before the DSG box changes gear, it gives it a tiny overrun before shifting into the next gear? Only ever so slightly but I have come from 2 7 speed DSG boxes before, however mounted to a far bigger engine.

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

 

Totally different 7 speed DSG's then compared to the 7 speed Twin Dry Clutch one you have now. 

 

Sorry but no idea about the noise you are getting.  It might just be the 1.6TDI's noise at that rpm.

Thanks roottoot,

 

Do you know what the difference with the DSG box is? As in characteristics? Im assuming my 17plate A4 avant and Golf R Estate would have had a wet clutch then?

 

Thanks

Well it is Twin Dry Clutch and has 2 oils in it and needs no oil or filter changes.

They are used where the cars are FWD and no more than 250 Nm or 150 PS petrol / diesels in Skodas (180 ps in Fabia Twincharger) and 192 ps in a VW Polo GTI 1.8TSI.

Brilliant, thank you for this information. Looks like I have got some research to do
