I am also very keen to know this - as it means a reduction of 4% on BIK company tax if so. I have been patiently waiting for the new passat engines to be announced. So far they are all marked as "no" for RDE2 compliant, but I was hoping the 2l TDI EVO SCR might get RDE2 compliance.

I am considering a 1.5TSI engine for my next company car. Does anyone have any thoughts on pairing this engine with the DSG? I look forward to hearing from people who have actually driven the 1.5TSI superb and would love to know more MPG feedback.

I claim 15p a mile whether its a petrol or diesel. I was basing my back of an envelope calculations on a 1.5tsi being 45mpg and 2.0tdi 52mpg (roughly what I get now).

Really interesting, thank you. I certainly haven't ruled out the 1.5TSI yet.

For my mileage the savings in BIK on petrol is pretty much cancelled out by the fuel saving. I also hate filling up - so bigger range of diesel appeals. I dont have to deal with the dealers fortunately, that is all sorted by lease company. I sat in a new passat GT and I found the interior stunning compared to my current superb. But I think part of that is just wanting something different. I think both cars are great, and hopefully the 1.6 diesel might come along soon.

I was helped a lot on this forum 4 years ago when picking my company car which is now due to go back - 64 plate Superb Estate Elegance. I am now picking its replacement. Considering a Passat vs Superb. I am swaying towards a Passat SE business just for a change more than anything. I am also looking at the superb SE Technology and SEL, or paying a bit more tax for a Passat GT (that sunroof ). Either way, with the hikes to BIK and WLTP I am going to be paying more in tax and would like to keep it down. I am hoping the 1.6 diesel engines will be WLTP tested soon and have scrape into lower BIK bands. Does anyone know what the delay with the 1.6 is? Any rumours on when the figures might be out? Thanks

Superb estate SE technology is now in the configurator but not in brochure / pricelist.

No SE Technology any more?

Following with great interest. Thank you for all your helpful posts so far. I recently installed a phone charger using a piggy pack fuse. Using a similar 12v socket to what you are using which is velcro taped inside the fuse box. Considering just using one of these splitters http://www.amazon.co.uk/Triple-Splitter-Charger-Adapter-Supply-Black/dp/B003YTSS4Y to run one phone charger and one power lead to a mobius. Do you think that sounds reasonable?

Car is brand new, delivered a couple of weeks ago.

Hi, Searched for ages but seem to be getting mixed answers. Got my new suberb last week but music played from SD card is not showing album art. Haven't tried streaming from phone by BT for music stored on phone yet. Have also streamed music from Spotify on my phone over bluetooth but I get no artist/track information - just BT Audio. Any ideas? TIA.

Thanks for your advice. I have ruled out the standard bypass relay quote. For my cheapest quote using the "dedicated wiring kit" (£469) I have been told the following: "We use Westfalia electrics, which are OE spec for VW/Skoda vehicles, they are top quality and will do all you ask." Sherlocks - does this sound like the same part that would normally be fitted to a skoda superb?

Just wanted to add - the cheap £469 company were one of the ones listed on the Witter website as approved fitters.

I am excitedly awaiting delivery of my superb elegance next week. I am planning to have a towbar fitted straight away. After following some advice on hear I did not order the "tow bar preparation" with the car. I have received several quotes after specifying a detachable swan neck towbar, 13 pin electrics with dedicated wiring kit and the fitter to include recoding the car so that it knows it is towing and activates/deactivates various features. Most quotes have come in around £700 but I have had one for £469. This supposedly still includes the dedicated wiring kit and the recode. I have also had one fitter quote £415 but using a standard bypass relay rather than a dedicated kit. They told me they did a superb recently this way and it worked very well. They have also asked what functionality I hoped to get with the dedicated wiring that a standard bypass relay wouldnt allow. Just looking for any advice really. Obviously the quote for £469 looks great. Is there any questions I should be asking? Located in Cambridgeshire. Thanks
