  1. But if the system should be sealed any fluid loss will degrade the performance it will just take longer! Like equating an engine that burns oil to a total loss system or a 2-stroke. It wasn't designed that way so it's wrong!
  2. Mine seems to react differently in differing temps, like most of us, quicker when warmer.
  3. No worse than other cars does not indicate it is good just means others are worse! Maybe there is scope for differences in the specification or numerous vendors are making the part slightly differently, I don't know but as different people have different experience something's going wrong. I do not wear rings and find it has degraded as have the wheel centre caps.
  4. Got the net set form new, along with the velcro dividers can be used t stop thing moving about, the boot is quite large after all. Can string it across and keep hat, coats just below the retractable cover. Could try these: https://www.skoda-parts.com/catalog/superb-3/spare-parts/accessories/glovebox-nets-luggage-compartment-covers-156.html
  5. Also need to build in price difference, as there appears to be a premium for tractor versions so any thing you pay over the price for an equivalent petrol is initially free fuel.
  6. All of the above, still cannot get an answer about when misting becomes a leak!
  7. Poor quality the same as the wheel centre caps, you might get it changed if lucky but the problem will return as the specifications for the item is poor.
  8. One's a nice pleasant car to drive the other is a tractor 😉😆 It's not just about fuel consumption! I find the petrol quiet and refined, cannot hear motor running once warm, comfort and noise level inside is excellent. Personally I hate the sound of diesel engines rattling. But as fuel consumption appears to be the focus, for mine since new: 68k miles 9214 litres Average 33.96 mpg Best 41.8 mpg😴 Worst 26.18 mpg😈 I used to use tesco super unleaded when I first bought it and it was only 5p per litre difference and that reflected in improved MPG but since that fixed difference has been removed I have used only regular and found it all good. Great car for trips, keep filling it up and get more in, this includes trips to the tip. Great in snow, with winter tyres, skiing trips to the Alps, getting up this drive to a private parking slot, and do not see need for 4*4: Also the 4*4 was something like another 4k when I bought it so happy with that saving. What would I change, perhaps have bought Dragon Green but that was not available when I bought this, the only thing I wish I had specced was the heated steering wheel. So if you can put up with a diesel then everything else appears to be much of a muchness but I would strongly recommend you drive both engines before you decide.

  10. This also caught me out when I must have turned down the volume on Waze warnings and instructions, and took quite a while to realise and reset the volume so I could hear 🤫
  11. @Steviedakotacould be anything see how many torx drivers @ApertureS found when he removed his dash
  12. I was advised this is "misting" not leaking. I asked when does misting become bad enough to be considered a leak? Couldn't really give a response.😒
  13. Go out and play with it. Use the stick, rock it sideways and into manual then nudge forward and backwards to change also use paddles watch the indicator and see how it prompts upshifts but will also force a down shift if you are dragging the engine. Then once you are happy nudge rearwards when in normal D or Eco mode and see how that drives differently, pick up is quicker and revs are extended before shifting up. Give it a go on differing roads to ensure you are comfortable and then adapt your driving style to exploit a great feature.
  14. I have been through and read up a few threads on the early degradation and corrosion of brakes 😶 Now just coming to 50k service and MOT, although brakes appear to stop the car OK I feel they will be a fail😒 Škoda currently list rear brakes, discs and pads @ £370🤨 Independents likely to be cheaper 🤑 But did I note correctly there is a TSB for rear brakes? If so what does it say and how might it affect my decision? Cheers all.
  15. Very lucky, I once had a scratch on a hire car and no products so thought I'd try toothpaste, plain old white toothpaste and I got a good result with no comments when I dropped it off. Also brought his to mind: Vincent: What's more chicken**** than f***ing with a man's automobile? I mean, don't f*** with another man's vehicle. Lance: You don't do it. Vincent: It's just against the rules.
  16. Removed and cleaned the winter wheels (now in isolation in the garage). And refitted the pegasus wheels, PS4s on the back but still have P7 on the front🥴
  17. Or the next bloke eh! If we are all that good why do brakes lights rush back towards as when we hurtle down the motorway with a gap far too small?
  18. I specced the space saver spare with the car, so left all the kit in the foam but trimmed the foam so it fits inside the full size spare. Sold the space saver on its own on eBay😀
  19. Yep, the one that's not flat 😃 😉
