[Side Mirror adjustmest keeps resetting]

I had issues with my passenger mirror moving on its own and not moving at times.

They replaced the complete drivers door switch panel (window switches etc) and it was resolved 

[Towbar wiring grommet - fumes in car]

I might be way off but i only notice it in winter! 

[Towbar wiring grommet - fumes in car]

Mine is the same as yours but unlikely any fumes are coming in from there. Especially through the boot carpet and mat I have. I used to get the very occasional odd whiff of fumes but I think it’s the auxiliary electric heater for the coolant that activates in winter to help heat it up quicker. You can turn it off in the menu

[Servicing - Franchise Dealer or Independent (North West Location)]

These days I don't think there is much difference between independent and franchise. Especially 3yrs plus. I had a fabia from Vantage skoda morecambe and I always found the service good.

I have 19's on as standard and the ride is fine, if anything it's the suspension that's the problem with or being too floaty, so I couldn't go to smaller wheels it would look silly on my sportline model

I find the suspension floaty/bouncy  on both sets of wheels. In fact it  feels worse on the 19” because the wheels are so hard and it sets the suspension off bouncing.
Completely agree the 19” are the best for aesthetics. 
I don’t think you realise the difference until you try a smaller wheel.

[Wheels help please]

I run 17” winter wheels and have 19” summer alloys  . I hate the road and suspension noise/ crashing with the 19” and look forward to having the 17” on. They are quieter, comfier, grippier and feel quicker.That being said the 19” are not uncomfortable just noisier with more trim rattle and more prone to wheel spin

ideally I’d of had 18” wheels for summer but the car came with the 19” upgrade . I personally think the 17” look a tad small but I don’t care when I’m driving it! 

[Superb vs 5 series]

Agree with the other comments.
It comes down to equipment/space  Vs the basics of a good comfortable drive/ gearbox. 
I love the superb equipment levels but having had BMWs  before miss the basics of good suspension/ noise insulation .

Personally I’ve been disappointed with the DSG (mines a 7spd). I find the hesitation at low speeds/ setting off a pain In our diesel . It probably doesn’t help our other car is electric.

Must admit the superb is brilliant on holiday trips with the space and loaded up. We also tow and it does it  really well. 

[2WD combi wheel alignment]

I paid £60 for full alignment 2years ago with printout. There was also a charge per adjustment depending which one it was. Think that was £5 per adjustment. 

[Do I need view button when retrofitting VC?]

My 2019 car has the view button but no VC. It does control the phone. If you have VC fitted does the view button stop controlling the phone as well?

[Start/stop... Linked to steering...]

Mines a 2019 superb and i don’t recall the steering getting heavy when stop start kicks in. I presumed the powersteering is electric and stays  active. Mine is like your kodiaq, slight nudge and it starts up 

[car delivery prices?]

I know getting a delivery over the next week or two is a nightmare due to the bank hol and year end. Demand is high!

[hunt for a car,se or se L exec?]

The bi xenon headlights are fantastic and look nice. If you can I’d stretch to the SEL, you get some nice features over a SE such as denon, leather, heated and memory seats, electric tailgate, privacy glass and keyless entry. 
I’ve not driven with the standard headlights on the superb but the Xenons are a big step up to other cars I’ve had 

[Superb SE L Executive - Blind Spot Assist]

There was Blind Spot (which also includes Rear traffic monitor), and a higher vision (including lane keeping)

Agree my 2019 SEL ex. Only has blind spot ( plus rear traffic monitor) but no lane keeping 

[Superb SE L Executive - Blind Spot Assist]

I think Blind spot monitoring only became standard spec in 2018. 

[Looking to purchase - things to look out for?]

I got mine from Marshall reading. I was really impressed with them although it was only 6months  old and an ex skoda car. I travelled 4 hours  each way and it was as described!

I was quite happy with the steering wheel being off centre and they paid for a four wheel alignment at my local garage.

Agree that there is plenty choice though.  I travelled so far because I wanted a factory towbar and canton! 

[Good brand of rims that are reliable and not very expensive for the Superb ??]

I would prefer a genuine alloy wheel to most cheap chinese copies to avoid cracking issues.

Agree and will be easier when come to sell the car. I got mine in the dark grey so looked a bit better than the standard silver in my opinion 

[Good brand of rims that are reliable and not very expensive for the Superb ??]

I got some genuine 17” alloys from Skoda for about £750. I think new zenith 18” cost around £800

 

edit 

skoda accessories 18” £216 each 

17” £205

Local dealer did 10% off the above price 

[Find me a Superb...]

I think they dropped the 2.0Tsi 220 around Feb 19 due to emission changes so it may reduce the choice for ones with the upgraded Mib 2.5.

 

Prices have shot up since lockdown has lifted due to a lack of stock as people have mentioned.
Most used skoda stock are Skoda Uk stock for management/ demos/ staff etc and it just hasn’t happened. 
I would contact Marshall’s or wait six months if your not desperate. When I got mine last year they seemed to have the biggest choice of high spec cars. I eventually got what I wanted ( Towbar, canton, alloys).

The issue with the 2019 FL is the dealers seem to be holding back on the options because it quickly pushes it past £40000 therefore higher tax!

When the dealers first reopened there where a couple of bargains to shift standing stock. I saw a few Passat RLine edition  272tsi or 240 bi turbo diesel 4motion with less than 1500 miles for 28k with full spec. They are now around 32-33k with 8000miles.

Agree with others that the prices are pretty firm, I wouldn’t bank on knocking more than a couple hundred off. Hopefully there will be choice in a few weeks once the new plate is out. 

Good luck with the search.

Yes one from above forgot that one!!! Looking right down at the back! Ah I see no washer her - doesn’t bother me tbh I make a point of a little wipe with a tissue each morning so it’s all clean. I have a video of the camera somewhere it’s super clear I couldn’t believe the clarity tbh! 

Which dealer did you use?  I am in the north west 

[L&K Contrast Stitching Leather Seats]

I thought the facelift Superbs with black leather all got contrasting stitching. I have seen it on a few mainly SEL and L&K trim. Obviously maybe different for ROI cars 

[Maximum Loading Weight]

I know my diesel SEL auto estate payload is at least 500kg, possibly nearly 600kg

[Maximum Loading Weight]

It will be on the sticker on the drivers door area. Think it’s the The gross vehicle weight minus the kerb weight

Really !! I never even thought of that. It does make sense - the vinyl does look a bit cheap and nasty.

Yes it will look much better with it removed 

[Minor Cosmetic Bubble in Vinyl Trim Piece]

I think they have just left the protective cover on from new, just peel them off. My car is white and those parts are gloss black. 
I suspect the dealer forgot to remove them.
