I'm currently looking after a '65 1.2 Fabia for a friend while they're on extended holibobs.

 

When pulling away from stationary there's a momentary delay in drive, so it revs before engaging drive, much as like might happen with a manual gearbox if you rev before the biting point.  In all other aspects the DSG is fine.

 

Mrs Gaz's car also has the DQ200, but her Polo's a 1.8 (also a '65 plate) and doesn't do this.  My DQ250 doesn't do it either.  Both are driving from the get go.

 

I was momentarily disconcerted by it, but then wondered if it's normal behaviour for a DSG on a 1.2?

 

Ta for any thoughts, comments or observations.

Drive it like you stolen it... Sounds like it needs to be treated with a bit more stick.....

@GazIt might benefit from a reset of the DQ200.

 

How many miles on the car?  

It maybe is just slipping.

 

So try it held on the Hand / Parking brake rather than the brake pedal and see if as you release the hand brake is the delay the same  as the brake pedal to accelerator delay. 

 

?

How is it when you go to S and the RPM is up and then you move off in the slug of a car?

(Skoda 'rally heritage and motorsport success' and they turn out cars with more show than go and 110 ps max.)

 

There was the issue and still can be with the early ones that never got the software or clutch update.

This can be a sign of a crack forming in the accumulator mounting. We saw this on a Leon 3 a few months ago and advised the owners to get the Mechatronic replaced as they depended on the car as he was very poorly. We ordered a new one which is a Vehicle Intelligent Part ordered to VIN and has to be paid for when ordering (and cannot be cancelled or retuned from the moment of ordering) and it took so long to arrive that we installed it around two months after he passed away! Thankfully the Mech held out through the trauma his widow had to deal with.

45k miles, FSSH (whatever that means, as we know).  It could be needing a bit more beans from me, or a reset.  Could be as simple as me being used to a DQ200 that's set up differently.

 

This was pulling away without the handbrake on or any pressure on the foot brake.  With the recent wet weather, the brakes were stuck on, but only a bit (the owner had left the handbrake on when they dropped it off with me) and just enough to hear a light clunk as they released.  It does it hot or cold, didn't think to try switching to S (Doh!) so will give that a try.

 

Don't know for sure but I think this is a post mineral oil update car.

 

It is quite literally that first moment, not even a second, as you pull away.  And only from a standstill - it behaves impeccably otherwise.  The owner's not a car person, so likely as not wouldn't even be aware of it.

 

I'll dilly with it a bit more, obviously with some caution as I don't want them coming back to a broken DSG and me looking sheepish 

 

Cheers @Crasher about the accumulator mounting.  Were it my car I'd be having the DSG checked out, and I'll likely advise them to when they get back.

It is inside the mech
