imho the upgraded sound system is a waste of money and the speakers rattle and vibrate at the slightest prolonged bass, dealer is doing their best and it is a shame because rest of car is excellent, going to get airbox padded hopefuklly should assist bass.r

Yes nice motor, you are having same problem as me - at even quarter volume whole door surround rattles and vibrates with anything with prolonged bass in it, even radio 1 !!!, every time I play Muse think the doors are coming off. IMHO the audio quality is nowhere near what i expected. Apart from that car is excellent and as usual dealer is bending over backwards to be helpful.

touch wood - my replacements have been on since christmas - no more water yet

GrahamElegance - My two pennorth -consumption about same as yours when worked out on petrol receipts but computer shows better, i am impressed compared to last superb as i think dsg when on form is excellent - in sport mode very rapid from stand still - i like down lights but each to their own. My dealer has been excellent and changed my front fogs no problem. I had a gearbox glitch on boxing day and they looked at it as soon as reported on monday, awaiting a reply from skoda technical who are off !!! Overall ,glitch aside, for comfort, practicality and pace well pleased. Lack of 7 fig post code irks me but apart from that love the columbus too. I would not swap it .

quick update - dealer replaced today no probs - my view speedyholm is a lot of money for car so expect it to be right plus if skoda do not get returns wont know there is a problem to fix, best of luck with your dealer,

auditek my superb 2 did exactly the same today apart from showed no gears - had to turn off engine twice before could get into reverse - did you get a result at your dealers

got tied up at work - but they are usually fantastic ( be it unfashionable to say so !!!) so expect no problems getting replaced - will update when done.

just checked mine after a 1000 miles - well fogged up , elegance as well , do most driving during darkness so surprised not burnt off, dealers on monday - could be dodgy seals.

have to agree

oh no bagpuss i think you have given a lead into the diesel/petrol debate again, but i think you are probably near the reason

thermistos imo look much better - i m up north and i cannot find it that cheap !!!!

i m the opposite - hated auto on previous superb but i love dsg - slightly less mpg than manual but drive it in town or a queue and you will see why , i have got flappy panels so can play in manual when i want. Took it out in snow and i mean snow for 50 miles first thing on thursday and it was impeccable which really impressed me, but horses for courses and as above get a good test drive to make up your mind

thanks Bagpuss. I have upgraded sound system like yourself and as a media unit think the columbus is cracking and tons better than the dx - like the dx though i think the sat nav is pants, none 7 digit postcode is disgraceful on a new car of this spec and it is unintuitive imho compared to most stuff out there. Roll on version 4 and a free upgrade hopefully !!! However apart from that I love the car.

could i be cheeky bagpuss and ask you to ask them when the navigation is actually going to a postcode system in that at least equals a £100 pound unit

thanks i am officially rubbish - would never have spotted it in a million years

hmm - i must be going blind - cannot find heat mode on my mirror switch - my superb 1 had it - i take it elegance should have it

jcblincs - can confirm works in all gears - up or down when in auto mode also if you make no more manual changes after about 30 seconds switches back to auto, hope this helps

yeah works - only tried it coz of posting saying you did not think you could - mines a diesel , will try again on way to work to make sure you can in all gears

must be lucky got mine with dsg and sunroof last week - absolutely love it hope you both get yours soon

I swore would never get another auto after my 2.5 tiptronic superb 1 - but test drove a superb 2 dsg and thought it was tons better, so much so i bought one and have to say the dsg is an absolute dream and smooth especially when sitting in a jam, also you can even force a change in auto mode by using the paddles - though i do accept it is more complicated than a manual, but it is imho years ahead of a torque converter box, more important it is as much fun as a manual if you want it to be.

And have no non slip mats in which superb 1 did - everything slides everywhere

very nice - glad i ordered upgraded sound now - enjoy

Have got the sound system in mine, so will definitely report back on whether it's worth the money. I suspect it will be. Bagpuss thanks Bagpuss

yep cream looks lovely but is a nightmare keeping clean, but not nearly as bad as black paint though
