Thank you for that addn info. How do you feel about driving your car with all the assist systems disabled? Or is it still at the dealership like Celli’s car.

So just to be clear, Celli - is this single issue what is meant to be causing every/all Assist system to close down and present fault conditions?

My car is now back at the dealership. I know they keep these issues under wraps but my impression is that they have no previous knowledge so they will be validating my report in the workshop and seeking guidance from Škoda. I am expecting a report on Tuesday afternoon. I have a loan car to use.

Just as an aside my previous superb would restart at standstill (autostop) with a nudge on the steering wheel. My new one doesn’t. Is this also a software fault or have Škoda deleted the function? It was quite useful for making sure you could get away pronto rather than the slight delay whilst the engine re-started. the dealership service receptionist didn’t have a scoobie doo. In fact - didn’t know there was such a function!!

‘Safe to drive’ doesn’t really cut it with a brand new car and furthermore ‘out of sight out of mind’ whilst you’re making do with a vehicle bereft of all safety systems. The dealer will have my car taking up space so hopefully will try a bit harder to get a resolution. I haven’t paid well over £40k to have a seriously substandard vehicle to carry me around.

I collected my new model Superb L&K 2.0 Tsi 265 last Monday and became aware of a couple of software glitches (including no parking brake operation when at standstill) which I intended to take up with the dealer. Today all the warning lights came on and every safety system closed down - even the adaptive headlights. I drove the car briefly but it was evident that it was now unsafe to do so. I will be limping to the dealer tomorrow and will expect a courtesy car until the problem is sorted. If there is an ongoing issue or any delay I will reject the vehicle as unfit for purpose. My previous Superb Sportline+ 2.0 Tsi190 was my 4th ŠKODA and the best car I’ve ever owned. I guess I should have avoided a brand new model (the first out of the dealership). I am now suspicious as to why there have been no reviews of the 2.0 Tsi 265. Hmmmm… I was also unhappy on collection with the alignment of the chrome trim between front and rear doors (below the windows) which don’t line up - it looks dreadful. All the showroom cars were spot on so it’s being referred to ŠKODA for attention (now the least of the issues).
