My immediate though was the OP was asking about the lithium-ion battery, I hadn't considered the 12V battery!

Mine is working again . Using Samsung Galaxy with app version 8.2.0 Looks like something took a while to update at the server end but all good now - until the next update!

Took my Superb into Skoda today for its 5th variable (longlife) service. I had it from new, its now a little over 2 1/2 years old and just reached 90k miles, front brakes still fine but the rears were 90% worn so new discs and pads fitted. It came with continental tyres when new, these were replaced at 35k (at one year old) with Pirelli P7 which are still on and have proven to be extremely good from a wear point of view (I can't fault them in any way for my usage - mainly motorway), the fronts are still on 3.5mm the rears 6mm.

Picked the car up from Skoda and all seems to be working just as it should so good news 👍

I'll try mine later today, it's currently in with Skoda having a service as I type this, fingers crossed mine also works.

This Skoda web page suggests lithium-ion battery type is used. https://www.skoda.co.uk/news/details/new-superb-iv-phev-open-for-order-with-up-to-eighty-four-of-all-electic-range

I wouldn't go quite as far as to say that, there is still a 20mpg difference from 50mpg to 70mpg, that represents a considerable difference (40%), especially for higher mileage drivers like myself, but if you don't cover many miles it doesn't really matter so much.

I'm also on 25.1 maps in the car. Had a look for app version 8.3.0 but can't find it, the app was last updated 23rd April.

I'm having exactly the same issue, I'm on Android using app version 8.2.0 and since the update nothing has been arriving in the car. I have also opened a case with Skoda support online. Hopefully like others have found it will start working again as I use this feature extensively.

I was going by the https://comcar.co.uk/companycar/tax/select/ website which indicate relatively little difference between a Superb SEL estate plug in and an Elroq 85kw Sportline as shown in the attached photos.

I fully appreciate you position regarding the BIK (I currently have a Superb diesel company car) but if you really want a Superb estate (plug in hybrid) it will cost you less than an extra £15/week over the Elroq BIK which isn't too bad, a price well worth paying, in my view, if you really need the space and that's your ideal car.

My wife has a mk3.5 facelift Octavia with the Amundsen nav unit, I have a 2022 (2023MY) Superb facelift with Amundsen, the earlier Octavia version is by far the better unit in terms of all round functionality - not sure what the software department were doing, like you say they its like they ran out of time late on Friday afternoon!

When I test drove a 2022MY SEL in early 2022 it didn't have the digital dash (an option at the time) but when mine arrived late 2022 (2023MY) it came with the digital dash, so not sure exactly when this became standard but sometime in the later half of 2022, worth looking for one with the digital dash if finances permit, but if you've never had one you won't miss it.

My SEL is exactly the same, drivers door mirror dims but not the passenger side, but on the wife's Octavia SEL both mirrors dim, it's no big deal for me but strange there seems to be no consistency throughout the range.

Pretty sure mine's two hours.

Greenergy is wholly owned by Trafigura https://www.trafigura.com/news-and-insights/press-releases/2024/trafigura-completes-acquisition-of-greenergy/

I have no experience of using this company myself but have heard good reports from someone I know who has used them, they have a rolling road at their main site in Milton Keynes which they use for development work, used to be wholly owned by VW UK and now have dealers that sell and fit their products across the country. https://www.racingline.com/skoda-performance-tuning-modifications

Recently had this on my Superb, apparently there was a spider and cobweb between the ACC cover which is part of the front bumper and the ACC unit itself which is behind the cover, cost me £140 at my local Skoda dealer. Have since found a way to remove the cover from the bumper as shown here but haven't tried it myself yet.

Late 2019 was when the EVO TDI 150PS engine was introduced, perhaps the revised oil spec was introduced for the newer engine specification. From what I've found on the internet the 0w-20 also gives improved fuel economy and better engine wear reduction at lower temperatures so not purely for emissions improvement.

If you open the bonnet there should be a sticked just above the grille stating which oil your engine uses, my 2022 TDI 150 (2023 MY) uses 0w-20.

I have a mk3 facelift and ordered the rear wiper (free option). In over 80k miles I only ever use it so the rear camera gets a wash, if I didn't have it I wouldn't miss it.

I'm biased as I have a 2022 SEL Superb which I really like, but given your choice I would take the mk3.5 as the mk4 has lots of software problems many of which are still unresolved, I'm sure the mk4 will be a lovely car once the software issues are sorted out but until then buyer beware, have a quick read from the link below.

That's not technically correct. Standard warranty in the UK is 2 years (unlimited mileage) - the 3rd year only applies to cars that have done up to or less than 60k (whichever comes first). I cover a few miles in mine so the day it was two years old it had something like 75k on it so that's when the warranty finished, and while you can get an extended warranty it finishes at 100k, so in cases like myself that extra 25k of extended warranty to get to 100k (or an extra 8 months at my mileage) works out quite expensive on a monthly basis so I don't bother with it and take my chances that nothing will go wrong.

My last car was a Tiguan, the rear pads needed replacing at about 85k, the fronts lasted to just over 130k (I do a lot steady of motorway miles), and my current Superb is heading the same way, my vehicle health report last time it was in the garage reported the rears were more worn than the fronts, it seems quite normal these days. The Superb now has 82k on the clock so I would imagine they will need replacing soon.

It would help if you say if these are front or rear tyres, if rear tyres it looks like sawtooth wear?.
