I often find that the voice control fires up during normal conversation interrupting to say " how can I help". +1 for crankcases comments regarding the voice control volume being accidentally set to zero. From the navigation screen settings menu you can adjust the volume back to a normal level. You can also press the voice control button on the steering wheel (or say hello Laura) and then say "turn up the navigation volume" to do this without the settings via voice control... I'll check the exact phrase in the morning.. Gabbo

If you don't know why you need the service, let it expire & see if something stops working you miss. You can always subscribe again at any time. For me it's all a bit useless & Im against buying into the subscription service as it will encourage them to add it for more features. However as Gaz said it's only £30 a year so if there's a particular function you use (remote locking or heating) it's probably worth it.

Asked them by email for the price.... 65Chf.. !!! Think the VW 18"-21" for 41chf are still the correct buy & can easily be found on Amazon or eBay slightly cheaper.

I was at my local garage for the post-delivery check on my new car & I noticed that Skoda had a new set of tyre bags advertised for the SuV vehicles. Its not written on the pack but the guy told me they were from 18" to 22" for the Kodiaq & Enyaq but would likely also fit the larger wheels from the Superb.. Part Number: 5LA 073 900

I have an Octavia diesel 2L 184PS (Non SCR) from 2014. It's covered almost 240k km in 10 years and I have had no problems with the DPF. My commute is similar to yours (40-45 minutes each way, 4 times a week). Regularly serviced & I've had 2 issues. Water pump, replaced out of warranty with 60% contribution from Skoda (common issue in many VAG engines). Boost pressure sensor wiring, a known build issue from Feb 2014 apparently. (Free under warranty). Even this diesel is warm in around 5-10km except in very cold conditions. My current superb diesel warms even faster. On a 35min commute, a diesel would be fully warm for most of the journey. I am biased because I've always had diesel engines. I always enjoy the fuel economy around 5l/100km from the Octavia & at 6 with the Superb 4x4 DSG. Our last petrol GLE was smashing 18l/100km but is guess in a superb a petrol engine could give you pretty decent returns driven suitably. I still believe in Diesel for high mileage, petrol for short mileage but I guess with modern engine technology & current fuel prices the gap between is less transparent than before.

There are two pinned threads at the top of the forum with a list of VCDS changes for the original and facelift models. However I don't recall it contained any of the items you mention. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/368574-vcds-options-on-superb-iii/

I didn't have this problem but talking with my colleague whos car arrived a few months before mine he has this issue. I told him to try to start the update to see if it removes the behaviour.

I would say the same over the last few days since the update. The rear view cameras refresh rate is now stable whilst the system is booting up during the first minute or so. Previously it was very jerky and hard to view what was really in view as you were moving.

On the Superb, there was a changlog given on the MIB3 when the update was offered. From memory there were three buttons, update now, cancel & release notes but I didn't find a way to get these back or find them online

No hanging around... Bosh! Will be interested in the photos, comments etc when it arrives.

Is the MIB3 still available in any current models? I'd assumed that future updates would be thin as the latest system is the VW like unit with a standup display & touch sensitive volume slider....

I was hoping the rear view camera update might improve the refresh rate and usability at startup. It was really jerky before & difficult to follow clearly. It seemed fine this morning but I'll have to give it a few days to see if it's really better. The release now were quite vague in their information

I'm surprised about this unless there is a known problem with the VW software. Freezing of adBlue is known since the beginning of the technology. Normally when you stop the car, the SCR system will purge the AdBlue from the system sucking it back into the tank to make sure the lines are clear and there's no chance of freezing. The tank has a heating system which is activated when cold temperatures are suspected to ensure the AdBlue is fully thawed before activating the injection. It's strange that frozen scr lines would prevent the tank from recognising you had added additional fluid unless the car was very cold at the time??

I am also a little bit. The car is only 3 months old so I kind of expected it to already have the final SW and there to be no more updates except for the maps...

It seems as though patience is needed, young Padawan... I was presented with this scary message today. "Get out and make sure nobody is left inside"
