As per the title. We've had our Fabia bought used in June 2016, ex Motorbility car had only done 900 miles. Its my partners car. Since getting my petrol Karoq I've realised that the Fabia appears not to have Hill Hold, On a  slight uphill slope in D it will roll back on releasing the footbrake back unless the accelerator is pressed, which is not ideal. I thought all DSG VAG group cars had Hill Hold. So should the Fabia have Hill Hold and its not working?

Yes,my 2016 110 dsg had hill hold as standard.

Fabia DSG has Hill Hold but not Auto Hold.

 

Karoq has Auto Hold and Hill Hold.

 

Does the Fabia immediately roll back or after a few seconds off the brake?  Have you stayed in Drive while stationary or switched to N or P?

Hill hold assist is only holding the car for 2-3 seconds as you go from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

?

So is it doing that, if not then no hill hold assist, but pretty sure it has got it. 

 

If not activated / working now then there are threads to check out.

Its rolling back immediately the brake pedal is released. This is on a slope up to the house and garage where my other two DSG equipped vehicles (DQ250 and DQ381) would move forwards on tickover without rolling back.  From your post @logiclee in the Karoq forum I realise I've been expecting the dry clutch DSG to behave the same as the wet clutch DSGs, which Ive had for much longer, and I now know that it doesn't.  I will have to do some tests to see whether its driver at fault and or there is an issue with the Hill Hold.  On this slope I find I have to increase the revs slightly to engage the clutches and 'catch the car' as it rolls back. I do suspect that the Fabia may have a slight problem with the clutches as the revs will rise and fall without any alteration of accelerator position, you can feel the drive engaging and disengaging.

I suspect the difference is that there is no Hill Hold Assist, & no Autohold.

It is a 1.2 TSI if that is what you have, low miles and a DQ200 doing as a DQ200 might do.

From the Fabia 2015 brochure.  All DSG have Hill Hold as standard (Bottom right option, two astrix bottom for DSG)

 

 

We've had four Fabia's from 2011 to 2017. Hill hold has always been standard on the DSG.

@logiclee   As we know the Skoda Brochures are sometimes wrong.  Actually often wrong. 

eg Mk2 Fabia vRS do not have Front Fog lights.

 

So if all those that say their Mk3 had no Hill Hold Control / Assist were just wrong then fair enough. 

I have conducted some tests and our Fabia does have Hill Hold and it works correctly in Reverse and Drive. The slope of my drive is too shallow to activate it - hence it runs back if the accelerator is not pressed. as the dry clutch requires accelerator input to engage the clutches. All working as expected and this driver will now learn to drive it correctly. Thanks to @logiclee for the explanation in the KAroq forum.
