I agree with you and I'm only 47. This link will take you to castrol. https://applications.castrol.com/oilselector/en_gb/c/recommendation?data=c9b5b609cd13707b76b104dc305add59 Fairly sure all this info used to be in the service book on my mk1. I suspect if you ring a dealer they will give you all the info though.

Exactly the car I've got (except a year newer) mine also has the rusty rear discs and creaks a bit over speed bumps. It did have a new glove box fitted under warranty but that was pre purchase. Mines a manual and having driven a dsg karoq I'm glad I stuck with manual. That said if most of my miles were round town I would be tempted by dsg.

No it was in eco mode 😂 a karoq and sports mode don't seem to go together in my mind. 😂😂

I would say don't, my superb sel is a manual , my uncle has a Kodiaq DSG, I've also driven a superb dsg as a courtesy car. The fuel economy is much worse in my experience. If you don't pay for your own fuel maybe worth it. It was also very reluctant to change up. One big advantage with dsg (I think) is the adaptive cruise control will work better as it will bring you to a stand. If it's a company car and you don't buy your own fuel my issues with dsg probably aren't worth worrying about though

I frequently get 90 plus in my superb 1.4tsi manual. On a 350 mile trip back from lake district couple of weeks ago it was 96 and was doing about 59mpg I believe. If it goes under 85 I'm not a happy bunny but I'm tight! In my uncles karoq dsg I managed 100 once on a 5 mile trip. But dsg is cheating imo as one of the major factors is done for you. The first pic is my uncles karoq the last 3 are a proper car, the superb with a manual gearbox 😂 The last one was 100 miles in to a 350 mile drive , it had dropped to about 98 at the end

It is Sadly. Brochure usually says you can't rely on it and must check with the dealer before ordering. That said even when you do that it doesn't stop Skoda changing the spec between order and build without telling anyone as they did to me. You could try telling the dealer you don't want the car unless it's as specified in your brochure. You might just have a legal argument that the vehicle isn't "as described" as you could only order from printed material. Your best bet would be to Get proper legal advice BEFORE collection your hand is much weaker after you hand over all those thousands of pounds.

The internal tailgate release is missing as is the aux in socket

If you meant me . Ride comfort is great Engine noise is very good even at higher revs. Refinement is good apart from skoda changing the spec slightly without telling anyone between order and delivery. I do miss the economy of my 1.9tdi 130 mk 1 but the engine is still being run in and I knew I didn't want to gamble on another diesel at brand new. You'll be very happy.

I think it depends on the car tbh. I had a Honda accord 2.2 vtec that did actually run better and return better mpg on shell v power to an extent it was cheaper to run on that. However my superb 1.9 tdi 130 showed no difference on v power Diesel infact it was fractionally worse. Got a 1.4tsi superb now and I've been running it on supermarket fuel no problem. It's only done 450 miles though. In the summer when I can drive long drives that I can replicate I will try the v power petrol again to do a comparison over 5 or so tank fulls.

I will thank you xman. What a ridiculous size to put on as a spare lol. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi picked up my new 2018 hatch se 1.4tsi in quartz grey with rough ride pack, heated nozzles, front sensors, boot nets, rear wiper and spare wheel a couple of weeks ago.

I got a 2018 se 1.4tsi superb with rough road pack, spare wheel, heated nozzles, net programme front sensors and quartz grey for £16974 plus my 2003 1.9tdi comfort. Using skoda scrappage deal (£4000 for a car I paid £3000 9 years ago lol) so £20974 without the trade in. Think list price was a fraction under £24k. Think I could of got the same price on a Pcp but paid cash.

Not an answer to your question but might be useful for anyone else buying new. I have a 2018 se 1.4tsi. I specified a spare wheel at £100 On ordering. I fully expected a space saver but was very happy to see a full size spare under the mat. Yes it is a steel but I thought that good value (apart from the fact a spare should be standard in my opinion)

mine is quartz grey. I love it.

Never did get to the bottom of it guys. Chopped her in for brand new 1.4tsi using the scrappage scheme.
