Drive Mode selection
Posted: Mon Aug 19, 2019 10:52 am
Every time you start your engine you have to go into DM selection window and choose the one you want. A friend has a Golf R 18 reg and it stays on the selected option every time it is started up.
I know some of you find this infuriating (including me!)
I have asked them if there is anyway dealers can upgrade the system to current settings. I await the answer, but do not hold out much hope.
This is their less than helpful reply.
Dear Mr Lambert
Thank you for your email providing the additional information provided. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you.
I have had a discussion with Technical Support Team who confirmed that when the engine is turned off and on the setting will reset. On new models, our factory have changed this system to set back to the original mode. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
I hope this information proves useful. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me on the details below.
Thank you for contacting ŠKODA UK.
Kind regards
