Couple of times recently i've been driving along in fourth gear, roughly 2k revs, eased off the throttle then when applying the throttle again get a slight jerking.

Has happened in other gears i think but seems more noticeable when in fourth.

Is this the dreaded 06 vRS stutter? Checked the service book and it seems i have the BLT ecu code as do many others.

Whats the next step to reporting this and is there anymore news on a fix?

Cheers

I'm afraid so, that's a perfect description of it :(.

Go to your local dealer so they can get a VAGcom reading and send to Skoda UK along with your details, so that when a fix is found you can be contacted.

Howdy,

Yes im afraid that is the classic symptons of the "stutter". I was speaking to Skoda Uk today who are apparently still "working on it" but again they stated that VW and Audi have decided to call this a characteristic rather than a problem.

This means that they are not trying to fix it nor will accept anyone trying to reject car because of it - despite Skoda saying that they are not doing this and are still trying to come up with a fix can you really see Skoda contradicting what VW, Audi and Seat have said ? - I think not.

Also as ahave just been reading thread about new Fabia and production of current one ceasing in December I cant really imagine them spending a great deal of time on this engine only used in 2006.

Unless anyone knows any different ?

Perhaps it would be better to reject car now rather than hanging on for a fix that may never come ?

Let us know how you get on whatever you decide to do

Cheers

I have not noticed the stutter for a while now. done 1100 miles and all is good.

not an issue to be honest and seemed to fade away for me. I am over the moon with the car. Whats really funny is that when the car is loaded up with people and luggage it still performs really well which I can imagine other petrol hot hatches will have a serious performance drop in similar circumstances.

anyway i'd still take the car if I was you knowing what I know now.

My two half week old vRS at dealer today getting a few things checked out (creases in rear seats, knocking coming from driveshaft/steering column when turning over rough ground, stutter etc.) and have been given their vRS demonstrator as courtesy car.

It is an 06 plate and guess what it does ?!! - yip it stutters also, however it does seem to be a bit more lively than mine. My one feels like the turbo dosnt kick in at all in comparison.

Its done double the miles of mine - is this something that will happen with more miles ?

Cheers

yes. the performance will keep increasing with the miles, up to about 10k !
