Can't get Skoda Superb diagnosed for jolting from cold start soon after buying second hand

Featured Replies

I have recently bought a Skoda Superb 2.0 Diesel DSG auto 2016 and after a few months of driving I started to experience a lot of vibrations and jerking when the car is driven from cold start. This got progressively worse to the point where I need to warm it up to a 90 before it can be driven at all.

I've taken it to my local garage and they have spent hours on it and can't pinpoint what's causing this to happen. I had to eventually take it to Skoda dealership and after an hour of diagnostics they can't figure out the issue either. They've quoted me a £140 charge for each hour of the diagnostics which is simply diabolical, but I have no idea what where to go from here.

Is there any alternative route I can take to get this issue diagnosed? My garage has spent hours on it already changing sensors and other bits and bobs but we've made no progress, and I also don't want to pay the extortionate price from Skoda without knowing how many hours they'll take to get it diagnosed, and this doesn't even include the fix after the issue is found. So I feel very much stuck. Any advice would be appreciated!

You have a Mk3 Superb and this is the Mk 4 forum, so I've asked for your post to be moved - hopefully you'll then get some answers!
