Hi all,

Recently purchased a Skoda approved used 2019 Sportline with the 1.5TSI DPCA engine.

On test driving I thought it felt quite sluggish, but just put it down to me coming from a Octavia VRS TSI.

I recently drove a friends 2022 sportline (also with the 1.5TSI DPCA engine) and it is completely different (both manual)

My friends, when you acclerate from 1000RPM the turbo feels to kick in alot sooner and with more punch.

Mine, it just feels like there is no turbo up until say 3000RPM, it is also quite kangoroo like at low revs.

I have read about software updates, but wanted to see if anyone else on this forums has a 2019 TSI (DPCA) and experienced the same sort of thing I am experiencing?

Cheers

I would be wondering about a stuck turbo actuator rod.

Sorry I should have said, actuator rod seems to move as it should.
