So the arrival of my car, which was due on June 9th, was delayed even further when it failed the PDI at the dealer. At the time I was told that the dashboard contained warning lights and they did not know what they meant, really!! Customer services, who have been holding things together, didn't understand why they could not find a fault, but they later confirmed that there was and ABS error, but it was just a warning display problem. Now today, I finally get a delivery date, tomorrow!! When quizzed about the fault, they came clean "The issue was factory recall on the ABS control unit which had to be replaced. " I appreciate, that in the 2 weeks it took to ship it and the 2 weeks the dealer has sat on it, the factory would have issued the recall, so the dealer/customer services should have known about it? So I wonder if anyone else with a MY18 Superb that was due to be delivered between June and July also experienced the same thing.

Brochure still says 280ps https://tools.skoda.co.uk/content/brochure/brochure_superb.pdf

According to the latest Skoda brochure, KESSY is only standard on L&K https://tools.skoda.co.uk/content/brochure/brochure_superb.pdf and now £150 option on SE L Exec, however, Skoda still say my order still has it as standard.

Yes, that is the same head unit I saw in the Superb SE L EXEC that was in my local showroom too.

OK, so I have had some feedback from Skoda Service team on my SE L Exec order. They confirm changes include: - SmartLink as standard - CareConnect - Emergency Call button - Keyless entry and start/stop - Electric auxilary heater - TV Tuner No longer available - Co2 115 - Price on the road 27,830.00 GBP What, KESSY is FOC now?

The total viewing screen size has increased, which will include the HMI soft buttons. I do not know if the buttons sizes themselves have changed.

OK, so I had an order placed for Superb Est SE L Exec, due for June 9th delivery. Just got an email today, saying that it was going into production on June 12th ready for end of June delivery, because Skoda have delayed orders to upgrade them to 2018 specs which includes: MY18 upgrades Launch of new glass design for infotainment system Enlargement of Columbus screen 8-inch at 9.2-inch Launch of SmartLink+ (Standard for all models) SmartGate + SmartLink = SmartLink+ SmartLink phone integration now incorporates further connectivity with the introduction of SmartLink+, which enables the infotainment system to communicate with smartphone applications via Wi-Fi – sharing information with smartphones such as driving data, fuel economy and efficiency.

Enables online remote access of the vehicle and proactive servicing. Emergency Call - now standard across Superb If the airbag control unit reports major accident the vehicle automatically initiates a connection to the ŠKODA Emergency Centre. The system also transmits data about the vehicle position, the direction of travel, the number of passengers and the seriousness of the collision. The driver or passenger can also call for help themselves by pressing a button, for example if they witness another vehicle having an accident. This feature delivers prompt professional emergency assistance. Contact is maintained with customers via voice connection until the arrival of emergency services. Superb models with duel zone air conditioning now feature ‘AIR CARE’ label. Hope that helps someone, no mention of any other changes.
