Should I have Hill Hold?

[redline3345]

Very interesting that when I specifically asked the dealer I purchased the car from if the RS comes with hill hold, his reply (and I quote) was: "our DSG's are advanced now and therefore don't need it". Hmm.....

according to the my11 brochure (now available on skoda oz site....finally!!), the rs has "hill hold control".


doesn't state for "DSG only" either, implying the manuals should also have it.

hill hold was not mentioned anywhere in the previous my10 brochure.

Hill Hold certainly used to be mentioned somewhere but I'm not sure whether it was the VRS or just the Scout. For some reason early on I thought my car was going to have it then realised that it wouldn't.
Another Skoda "change things on a whim" feature I guess.

It was on the Scout's specs but not on the vehicle I received which is why I started this thread. They seemed to have changed specs mid MY. Never known any manufacturer with so much on again/off again specs like Skoda. Not the main stuff but usually convenience items, still irritating though.

It's not on my Scout as far as I'm aware. As for mostly minor, waas the mid-year change from PD to CR TDi major or minor

I received a MY11 vRS Combi with DSG a couple of weeks ago. I have noticed on inclines, that after taking my foot off the brake, that the car goes nowhere until I accelerate. After experiencing this a couple of times, next time I waited after coming off the brakes to see how long it would hold, and it is for a few seconds. I am assumung this is Hill Hold, even though I was told at least twice by different dealers that my car would not have it.

I also think mine has hill hold as i have noticed that the vehicle will hold on an incline.
It also appears when setting off that the brakes are applied slightly which i also think is part of the HH system.
