Yes. Mine is in the workshop for a 2nd week in attempt to sort this. It's not clear what's causing this.

 

Really. Whats new ? Any updates?

 

Not yet fixed. The dash has had to come off. I expect a 3rd week in the workshop.

 

the problem is on driving 3rd gear on low rpm (specialy 1400 rpm) while driving and pressing the gas pedal slowly you hear the noise, like two metal grinding and when you drive it faster, (rpm increasing) the noise disappears.
I can confirm the issue is also on another brand new KODIAQ. it could be Kodiaq series issue i`m not sure , we should see .. but i can say that i`m very concerned.

On the Authorized Skoda Service, they replaced DSG and after that they said its normal. why would they replace on the first if it was normal? so wired!

 

any one who read this message can confirm that ?
p.s: to hear you have to focus on it, on silent road! i`t could be a series problem and any report could help them to inspect and resolve, maybe recall...

 

Dear Kodiaqqq,

Have you got a 6 gear manual Kodiaq ? My car do this same problem .( my car is manual 4x4). If yes i will sent to you my motor and other number it is not normal. Maybe and I hope it is a bad series. I also waiting the factory and distributor answer. Thank you in advance. Kodiaqhu1

 

Someone has experience with this 6 gear diesel manual(4x4) shift/gear problem ?

Loud noise, vibration from the gear/shift from under if you push the clutch in 1 shift again to put 2 shift or only just go in the traffic jam between 1 shift and zero shift. Never heard this other car not just a new one.

 

Hi,

Anyone has some kind of follow up on this subject ?
My brand new Kodiaq does exactly the same sound. It's a 4x2 2.0 TDI DSG.

 

Could those who have not already done so PLEASE put your vehicle details on your signature so those of us interested in this thread know which models(engine, transmission) the problems refer to.
Thanks.

 

I have the same noise. DSG 7, diesel.

After some time listening to the noise and trying to understand when it happens most, I am starting to believe this noise is the DMF.
Sometimes I can ear the noise when stopped, and if I put the DSG in Neutral, the noise stops. But when I return the DSG to D/S, the noise doesn't start until the car sarts to move (probably there is no gear engaged), so the DMF is stopped ???).

 

DMFs do fail, (usually on diesels, because of the greater torque,) but on a car THIS NEW???
I've never heard of one failing this early. DEALER!!

 

Can someone explain to me what 4x2 is - do you mean a normal FWD Kodiaq?

As for DMF's failing - plenty of instances over the years of brand new cars across all VAG brands with dicky DMF's - any component can fail, that is what warranties are for. If there was zero chance of a failure then you wouldn't need a warranty

 

4X2 is,as you correctly surmise, Front Wheel Drive.

 

Mine is a 6 speed manual diesel.But never heard any noise Kodiaqqq..!

 

Last night the noise was almost gone. This morning the noise was really loud. Worst when steering left.
I will take it to the dealer, but I like to go there with some information on my hands, as they always try to say that "It's normal"!

 

If they say it's normal ask why nobody else on the Forum has the same problem!!!

 

If they insist in the "It's normal" route, I will immediatly start the rejection process. The car has 1 week and I won't accept this kind of noises in a 49k€ car.

 

Not sure if I have the same noise as you all. Mine is most noticeable when turning a lower speed at a mini island etc but when in neutral there is no noise. Mine has been in the dealer several times do several days as I thought it wasn't steering related but maybe it is the gearbox? They could not hear the issue! Seems to be worse after a bit of driving and is not related to outside temperature.

I have even tried recording the noise but not managed yet!

 

Hi guys,

registered here to let you know that we have the same issues in a german Kodiaq forum. We managed to record the noise, here's a video of it:

Everytime you see the red X you'll hear the grinding noise. No solution yet from the dealers, a few cases have been opened with Skoda though.

 

Hi,

Some updates on the subject:
Car has been at the dealer. Noise has been identified by the dealer, although they say "it is normal" and was already reported by other customers, mainly with VW Tiguan. Since I don't accept it as "normal", they have reported the case to the factory, or so they say.
I asked them to explain to me were the noise was coming from and why wasn't it there all the time, but they have no explanation.

I am now waiting for the answer from the factory.

 

Hi guys
It seems like an electrovalve coil . There is a lot of electrovalves regulating the cooling water flow , the steering wheel hydraulic fluid pressure etc.
I owned before a couple of years ago a Polo tsi. It made exact the same ckinking noise each 10 secs at idle .

 

No noise on idle or with ECO mode in inertia (disengaged with engine idling), so it has to come from gearbox or engine.

 

You can also trigger the noise by going in the 3rd gear and let go the gas pedal around 23-27 km/h. Same noise. But best to get it while turning left. Also, i figured it comes after you drove a little. Fresh out of the garage it doesn't do it

 

Yes, that sounds exactly like mine.
After some investigation, it seems like the same issue is happening with VW Tiguan and VW is well aware of the problem. Apparently the noise comes from the steering rack/box and VW is working on a fix. Currently, changing the steering only fixes the problem for 10.000km or less.
