|  vrs tdi I have a vrs tdi bought new in march,done 3500 miles,but compared to my seat leon fr tdi i previously owned the vrs seems realy flat when setting off from junctions or traffic lights,where the leon would pick up straight away the vrs seems to take a couple of seconds before it starts to go, anyone have any ideas what it could be or are they all like this. |

| Re: vrs tdi Which engine did you have in the FR? Was it the 2 litre or a.9 litre? The 170PD engine is very flat below about 1800-2000rpm. So you need to get the revs above this to get it to go well. It took me a little while to suss it with a few hairy moments on roundabouts when I floored it but not a lot happen for a second or so and then it all coming in at once. |

| Re: vrs tdi Lol glad to know I'm not the only one who has taken a short while to adapt to this, had a couple of scary moments pulling out of junctions so far!

| Re: vrs tdi You've hit on what seems to be a fundamental problem with the vRS TDI. I find exactly the same as you - had one or two serious 'moments' with very poor pick-up from rest. If your Leon had the identical engine then there must be some problem with the Skoda application. I suspect the new common rail enigine will help improve things - though that's small comfort for the rest of us. I'm intending to get the dealer to give it the once-over, but I'm expecting the usual 'they all do that sir' response...
