Too Tall

Had a Superb 2 with the 140CR diesel. Great car. Commute was one hour, 95% motorway. Never had any issue for 6 years. I then changed jobs. Commute became 15 minutes, no motorway at all. Within 2 months I had to go and do forced DPF regen on the highway. Within another month I had injector failure. You can mock me, but I honestly thought I could feel the car was not happy. It really seemed to 'miss' it's usual commute... 3 months after that I swapped it for a Superb 3 150 petrol.

I went to the insurance and the garage. RIP. Mr pheasant! At first sight nothing major, just the foglight access panel was popped out. Nothing looked wrong, popped right back in. Next day in daylight however... Little bits of plastic fell out...then I checked the center grille...yep...cracked...

Have you tried it with the CC stalk pulled towards you? Don't know your spec, does the car have lane assist and adaptive cruise? Also you could try going into infotainment and resetting everything, it might be a setting.... One issue I've read about was someone messing about with the cruise control lowest speed threshold in vcds, and cruise could not be enabled because the car basically never was in the correct parameters

Have you checked the car for error codes? Might point you in the right direction. Dealer or independent garage might charge a fee, or find a local member with vcds/vagcom diagnose software.

Ah yes I'm in Belgium, maybe they are not available over there. Will also add that I would also prefer the 2.0, but in Belgium they are very expensive in tax so not an option...

I have an S3 estate L&K with the 1.5 DSG, excellent mileage and enough poke for me, but I'm a relaxed driver. Researched the DQ200 box before purchase. Not too worried about it, but I have budgeted fluid changes of the 'sealed for life' unit. If you are looking for a car, I'd prioritize general condition, service history, engine size, options, color. In that order. If you want to avoid all parts that can break, well, you will never buy a car. Also be weary there are some frustrated people on this board who had bad experiences with their Skoda, and they spend their free time in every thread extolling the virtues of brand Z or Y. Alternatively, they always go for the 'Skoda should do this' or 'nobody should buy this car', etc. They also love to change usernames every once a while. Bit sad really, used to be a fun place this. Good luck with the search!
