Northwest Metro Sydney

We are looking to get a Kodiaq but after reading the reviews of the servicing I am wondering if it is a deal breaker and if the Kodiaq would last past 100k kilometres? Is the quality of the service an issue and what dealers would you recommend in NSW that would be good for servicing my Kodiaq if I decide to get one? Cheers!

what do you think are the thing that would make the rs more expensive to repair?

I will get a new car and intend to keep the car for 5-10 years (so something reliable) .

what is considered a "long" drive?

what is your duration of drives on a daily basis?

does your current superb have a dpf?

Im pretty sure the vRS is not being discontinued and they say Australia is pretty loose on emissions

Does your current Superb have a DPF? Not too sure but

Do you think an RS would be ok? My 10min drives are only occasional and almost every second day I do 20-30min drives.

I believe the Sportline does have a GPF/PPF but according to a forum it is fine as petrol engines run at higher temps and it will be able to burn the soot with normal driving.

I am in Sydney.

Hi there, I am considering wether to buy the Kodiaq Sportline or RS model. I like that the Sportline is a petrol and is supposedly easier to maintain as the engine does not have a DPF. But I would prefer driving the RS as it has a more firm and "agressive" drive to as it is a twin turbo diesel, you also have the original benefits of a diesel... - The great fuel economy. - The power of a diesel. - Cheaper fuel. I don't mind the higher cost of the RS but just wondering, if the DPF would be an issue for my daily driving routine. I will be doing 10-30min drives in light traffic taking my kids to their lessons and classes. And only occasionally (every few weeks) on the motorway for about an hour. I heard a few things like using the OBD port to track the DPF status or forcing a regen but I'm not too great at cars so just need sombody's help. Not too keen on doing pointless freeway drives as my schedule is already busy as a bee. Would my use case not be suited well for a DPF fitted? Thanks, Tim
