Hi all,
I appreciate this has been covered in other threads but have searched and can’t find a definitive answer / list regarding the kangaroo / jerking issue.
Recently picked up a late 2018 1.5 TSI EVO 130 and during test drive no issues but during my regular commute (stop start traffic) notice this issue slightly.
It’s not overly bad but noticeable and also the occasional flat spot / hesitation.
Reading all the other threads this seems to be the issue that others have experienced but the dealer I bought the car from along with another dealer (for verification) have advised my car is not affected and has the latest software already being late 2018 and updated prior to being sold (but can’t prove it).
I just wondered if anyone has a definitive (or even rough) list of build date, engine codes, vin numbers etc. that are thought to be affected or if there is a way to check what software is installed without going to dealer (who advised may be a charge for the service if no issue even though under warranty and a reported issue).
There’s definitely no recalls for my vehicle but think this currently (and likely to always be based on the info available) outside of a recall.
Any
help greatly appreciated as not sure if I’m just noticing it now I have read up on the issues as it doesn’t seems as bad as some have stated.
Also, anyone know if/when the gpf / opf was fitted to the 1.5’s?
Thanks!
