Took delivery of our 1.5 tsi EVO T Roc in early December, right from the start it suffered kangarooing when pulling away in 1st gear but I put this down to my control of the clutch and throttle in this new car and would adapt to it. Not to mention potentially catastrophic consequences. My next trip will be taking it back and rejecting on a quality, or lack of, issue. I've emailed dealer who is yet to respond.

Cue irate recovery driver giving me a piece of his mind, not quite a piece of his truck. I changed down to second and the same thing happened. The result was a recovery truck almost rear ending me because it happened again.ġ00 metres down the road, the next red light changed earlier to green. Sure enough I was front of the queue and had almost stopped, the lights changed to green so I changed into 1st gear. Approaching lights on red, thinking to myself, I hope they don't change to green before I've stopped. I thought to myself that I could live with this as I would just not 'make it happen'.įast forward 30 minutes on way to supermarket with kids in car. You have almost stopped but the car is doing below 5mph, you change into first to get away and then it happens. If the car has fully stopped, pulling off in first doesn't seem to be an issue.
I was curious as to how and why this was happening so went for a local drive this afternoon. The upcoming Volkswagen T-Cross small crossover is also set to use the 1.5-litre TSI Evo engine. The move was intended to improve performance as well as provide better real-world fuel economy. With the launch of the 1.5-litre engine, Volkswagen bucked the downsizing trend by replacing a 125PS 1.4 four-cylinder unit with a 1.5 four-cylinder producing 150PS. When pushed about whether this could lead to a recall for all 1.5-litre Volkswagens in the UK, a spokesperson said they had "no further info to add to the statement at this stage". "We are currently developing a solution to prevent these rare effects in the affected vehicles.”

In a statement from Volkswagen in Germany, the company said: “Volkswagen is aware of reports from customers complaining that some vehicles featuring the 1.5-litre TSI Evo engine with manual gearbox can be slightly hesitant in the cold-running phase. uk contacted Volkswagen after a report from a reader that his T-Roc 1.5 manual developed a 'kangarooing' sensation when cold - something we've also experienced in our SEAT Arona long-term test car. It's currently available in the Golf, T-Roc and Arteon models as well as other Volkswagen Group vehicles.
The 1.5-litre TSI Evo petrol engine made its debut in the Golf in 2017 and is now being rolled out across the range as a replacement for the old 1.4-litre turbocharged unit. Volkswagen has said that it's aware of a possible fault with its 1.5-litre petrol engine - and not ruled out a possible recall that could affect thousands of cars in the UK.
