Tangent

Anyone else experiencing this? Very annoying. It takes about 20 minutes with the heating on before I can plug in any addresses into the satnav, or change the station on the radio. The car went in for a service, and I guessed what they'd say, so I showed the guy who picked it up, and he witnessed it not responding at all, and yet, when they called to report the findings of their inspection they still went with the classic, "we can't replicate the fault".

That's what I'd have thought - but the dealership is consistently referring to it as recall.

Thanks for the info. Skoda dropped the car off just before 6pm (so in line with what they said) then asked if they could pick it up again this morning at 7.30am. Just got into work at 7.20 to find the guy ready and waiting. Good job so far.

Just had mine in for a service and to investigate why the windscreen has been fogging up so badly. Apparently there is a recall for a door seal. Anyone know anything further - bit miffed because they've not managed to do the recall work, despite seemingly knowing it was needed, so all they've done is the first service and the car's still not going to be back until 6pm.

I've just got our new superb and it's mainly great, but I can't connect my phone (Samsung galaxy s6). It is recognised by the system (as Samsung_android) and the phone launches android auto, but then the system says "no compatible apps. The device may not be compatible with mirrorlink". I thought some apps would work, like maps, or Spotify at least. A guide to get Spotify working would be useful. Can anyone please help? Thanks for any assistance.

http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/SUPERB-III/Rear-bumper-panels/ I have a question - what is the finish on the visible metal already present around the rear of the car? Polished or brushed?

Interested in views on this. I think I've ballsed up an order from Superskoda - I ordered a steel bumper protector - I went for brushed effect. I've still to get delivery of the car, but from photos it looks like there's some polished metal just inside and so a polished finish would have been a better match.

Thanks guys. That's a shame. Looks like I'll be needing a phone holder.

Hi there, there's mixed reports on whether it's possible to get the excellent free satnav app Waze to work in the Superb. Dies anyone have any info?

I looked at that double seat width style and dismissed it from my options because I thought it would be too much hassle fitting seats (and cutting holes in the cover), but if you did go for that style, I thought this one looked like better quality fabric... IMy view (which is probably only shared by me!) was also that while these things can never look good, it looks better if they resemble a flat peice of fabric laid over the seats as opposed to something that is badly fitted. In that format, it could also serve as a groundsheet if need be. YMMV

Yeah - prices are good, but postage is high - which is why it struck me that it could be worth adding bits and pieces to an order. I was buying floor mats and mud flaps so it made sense for me to do it that round.

Thanks - that's interesting reading. Our seats both have isofix bases and footwell bracing legs. The reason I went with the cheap covers above is so I can cut them if necessary to fit around the isofix anchor points. I'm fairly confident that this will ensure they're safe. I'd not considered the added risk you highlighted though - so many thanks.

Too late for me as I just clicked the "confirm purchase" button, before thinking about it, but I thought it would make a good thread. Is there anything that you may as well add to an order from Superskoda? I looked around for a bit after going there to buy mudflaps and floor mats, and ended up adding these to the order as they seemed cheap and worthwhile:- Superb III - original Skoda rubber mat over the rear tunnel - 7.99 € Superb III - official Skoda Auto,a.s. Superb III merchandise glasses - 5.99 € They both seem inexpensive and worth adding on. The glasses don't look great but I have a "car coat" that is so ugly I never accidently wear it and forget to leave it in the car. I think the glasses actually don't look too bad, but hope they'll serve a similar purpose. I was thinking someone might say - definitely order these headlight bulb upgrades, or something like that - that's what I'd have benefitted from.

I'm interested in any answers to this thread too. Hoping to take delivery of a Superb estate on Friday, and having recently had to clean up a borrowed car after a trip a bit too soon after the boys' breakfast I thought, "I don't want to have to be doing this in the new car". Hunted around a bit, and probably not for everyone, but I went with these:- My thinking was that one could be more easily replaced than the double width options (and the other could then be substituted for it in an emergency). I'm just hoping that when they there's a satisfactory means to tie them down

So yesterday afternoon I was told the problem is with my signature - with the implication that, after 6 months, my signature on a document sent earlier that day means I'm the one at fault. So I ask "What happens next?" I was told she didn't know and that she would get the right person to call me this morning. Nobody called so I've just tried them. Spoke to the same person who, before I could say anything put me through to a voicemail box. I've just called again and asked to speak to the most senior person in the building and have been told he's in a meeting but will call me back within half an hour. I'm not holding my breath.
