Is it possible to restore the chrome trim around the window or will it be back looking oxidised with faded water makes within a few months again? What causes this? Does it happen to all chrome window trim over time?

Thanks, I've decided to pass up on that one with 24k service interval. Plenty more to choose from with better history. Does the CR170 share the same engine as the 170 Audi A4? Edit: More to the point, does it share the same design/problem with the oil pump drive? Is the oil pump in the CR170 chain driven? What's changes are they between CBBB and CFGB engines found in the 170 superb?

Thanks for all the feedback. I've looked at another car that has variable service intervals. The recorded service mileage is 20k, 40k, 60k, 71k and 95k. Would it be possible the car would let you go 24,000 miles until the service light comes on? The car was serviced by skoda each time. At each service it has just had oil and filters. Would this sould right upto 95k? It's 4 years old. How does one identify if the car has an upgraded sound system? There was some badging either on top or below the speaker on the drivers door.

Thanks for the advice and replies. My concern with variable service is that a few people I know who had engine and turbo trouble were on the long life variable servicing. Personally, It wouldn't be my choice, but good to know they are people had good experience with this option. Cheers for that. Would it be wishful thinking hoping the 170 would return 50mpg on a motorway journey sitting at 80ish? On motorway journeys, will the DPF need replacing at some stage in its life? Anything else I should look into or keep in mind before purchasing? Thanks again for the help and advice.

Would the 20k service intervals upto 60k miles be classed as well looked after though?

Hi, I'm interested in buying a superb CR 170. The car I'm looking at was registered in late 09. I thought they didn't introduce CR's until 2010? It's registered as 1968cc with 153g/km on car. I'll know the difference in engines anyway by having a look. My main worry is it has main dealer service history, but the first owner went with 20K mile service intervals upto 60K miles. First was 20k, 18months after purchase, 2nd 40k, 14months later, 3rd 60k, 15 months later. Then it had a change of owner who serviced it every 10k upto 90K. Would this common practice with CR170's, and is it something to be cautious of and look elsewhere? There is 100k on it now, and had its timing belt changed at its last service. Is there any major bills coming soon that I should consider when purchasing one with 100K on the clock. Any other common problems I should check for on the test drive? It's an elegance model with manual gearbox. What's the rear world MPG for just motorway commutes with the 170 CR engine and manual gearbox? Thanking you in advance. I've searched all evening, but it must be a good sign when I haven't come across much common problems. Cheers.
