most of the 9/19 manual will surely still be relevent and you have a downloaded copy of the 6/20 manual, so if it was me, i'd just photo copy any pages needed from the new manual no need to copy the whole manual, should'nt need to have to do this, but seems like the easiest option, at least until skoda can come up with a paper version.

i think the water pump is more likely to fail than the belt

its easier and cheaper to code stop/start out though, remember, if you code it out, you can still stop the engine with the key if your stopped for any length of time, so for me, no real benefit of this device

its does'nt matter though if the dpf holds 45g of soot because it never gets to that level as regens always happen at around 24g [ unless theres a fault ] when at 24g the dpf app says 99% [ or thereabouts ] so you get to know that a regen is about to happen, which is the whole point of the app. As i said earlier, if you are sitting with say 21g of soot, there's no point in taking the car for a run on the motorway as a regen wont happen, in fact all you will do is make the engine do a passive regen and in my experience the soot level will just stay the same during a passive regen, so you have effectively wasted time and fuel and have achieved nothing

yea that would be good alot of people with diesels think you can just take the car for a long run and all will be good they dont realise that regens only happen when dpf is 99% or so full

i've been saying for years, that VAG should have the dpf app built in to the dash on all diesels, the app lets you plan ahead, as you know exactly when a regens coming.

the level going to 100% + 6% seems odd and not right i find regens happen at 99% - 100% and it will empty down to about 24% alot of people think you can take the car for a run on the motorway to empty the dpf but thats not the case as regens only happen when its ready to do it ie 100% full. if i was to go on the motorway at say 80% , what i usually see is the car doing a passive regen, but the % does'nt come down or go up, it would just stay at 80% which proves that you cant make the engine do a regen.

would'nt surprise me, the mk3.5 superb is the newest out of the vag cars you've listed. vag/skoda will call it continuous improvement, all it does is delay things for the tuners though, they eventually find a work around.
