    DSG clutch slipping when cold? Only 1200 miles old

    Thanks the car is a November 2020 car. the feeling does go away when engine is warm but it definitely resembles a slipping clutch when cold. my wife has a Kodiaq with the same and engine 1.5tsi and DSG and this does not happen PITA

    DSG clutch slipping when cold? Only 1200 miles old

    Another moan about my new car. When cold and accelerating it feels like the clutch is slipping on the DSG. The rev counter needle does not rise smoothly and it revs at random rpms when accelerating a bit like a clutch slipping. This is my 4th car with DSG and this is the first experience...

    They are Bridgestone Turanza. Never had them before. I had P4s on my Cupra and they were great. I also had the Potenza on my Leon FR and never had any problems

    1.5 tsi DSG wheel spin

    I have a new Ateca now with 140p miles on it. Even under what I would call a light foot it has a tendency to wheel spin. Is this common? I recently got rid of a Cupra 290 and I can't remember that wheels spinning as much as this when pulling away ad that was twice the power

    2021 CUPRA Leon 245PS eHybrid Review

    good points - Decent paddle shifters, decent seats, Cupra button bad - the wheels are horrendous, its sitting on stilts, the plastics are worse than ever, needs larger spoiler I'm sure it will all be sorted for the petrol models but as a teaser into the full Cupra model, it is pretty bad. I...

    What did you and your ateca do today?

    New Ateca FR arrived on Friday at 7am! Really impressed with the car and the new steering wheel and infotainment is miles better than what was in my MK3 Leon Cupra. The 1.5 is really eager to get going, more so than in our Kodaiq 1.5 tsi

    what did you and your mk3 leon do today

    good to hear someone settle down with the change to a completely different car. I lease my cars so for me the Kodiaq was cheaper than the equivalent Tarraco we have also ordered a Karoq Sportline to change our Q3, wont get another Audi again i think, overated.

    what did you and your mk3 leon do today

    Confirmed my return collection date for my Cupra (11th August). Sad day but bigger car is now required. jumping ship to a Skoda Kodiaq. I dot think the 1.5 TSI will give much enjoyment but I am sure I will enjoy the extra space and creature comforts that come with it
