I tested a Sportline iV with 19'': what a deception !
I currently own a 2018 1.5tsi superb (pre-FL) that I'd like to change..so I tested a 2024 iV FL Sportline with 19'' rims (now I have 17''). I was really disappointed by: - tyre noise! After 20' I had a headache! Should a 18'' version (that I cannot test) be better in this regard? - engine (the 1.4 of the phev system) was quite loud too in the first minutes, than it was better. I was again surprised since my current 1.5 is very quiet Beside these two points, car was nice and better than my current Superb... but noise was a true no-no

superb iv: a few questions..
Consider I already own a superb... Anyway, today I was able to test an arteon phev - same length of the superb but the charging door should be longer on the arteon. I plugged the cable and slightly closed the lid. It works..

I also add that the model I've identified is a Sportline with 19'' rims. Should I be worried about comfort? No DCC as far as I know

superb iv: a few questions..
howdy I currently own a 2018 Superb 1.5TSI - I'm considering upgrading to a 2023 or 2024 Superb iV. Got a few questions... - are there any known issues with the iV? - my car is parked in a box...5m in length. I've noticed the plug is on the front part of the bar. How many cm the plug adds to the car? will I be &ble to close the box door? Thanks! PS any thoughts is welcome indeed!

Drive mode : bug or feature?
you mean using the custom mode (setting each option separately)? Anyway, if that's normal I don't understand the underlying logic

Drive mode : bug or feature?
Hi, My Superb mk3 my2019 is equipped with drive mode selector (no active suspensions, just "eco-normal-sport"), essentially modifying the responsiveness of the DSG. I prefer the E mode since it seems to me more efficient in terms of fuel economy (car often coasts in neutral). The problem is that after restarting the car, E mode is still active...but the DSG is in "D" mode (while all the other settings are in E mode). Indeed, if I switch again the E mode button, also the DSG goes in E mode... Is this a bug or is it perfectly normal the DSG "restarts" in D mode instead of E ? Thanks

2 months after..
So here I am after a bit more than 2 months and 3000km. I bought a pre-owned superb combi, 1.5 tsi dsg, style trim (xenon, leather, vented&heated seats, blind spot monitor, acc,...). The car is comfy, well suited for long journeys, the engine is sober (6.5l/100km so far) and quite responsive. I was afraid about the size of the car but thanks to the rear camera and the parking sensors it's easy to manœuvre and to park in the garage (5m x 2.4m). The car is long but the length is essentially "behind", making the car not that different to my previous Golf mk6. Lot of space of course, no problems so far beside a minor malfunction of the blind spot monitor which will likely be solved by the dealer. BTW I also discovered that the car servicing is every 2 years (or 30000km) and not every year as I expected.

Manœuvre and front assist
Hi This morning I wanted to test these two safety features. I placed a big cardboard box and... Bump, the car didn't brake I have a my2019 superb, equipped with rear camera, front/rear park radars and blind spot monitor (+manœuvre assist) Do the manœuvre assist and front assist work with fixed objects? Or is my car not working? Or is my testing method? I wanted to try with my wife but for some reasons she didn't want to

Both fail Manœuvre assist = detects a car/pedestrian when getting out of a park in reverse, right?

New owner, some questions...
Works fine once activated but everytime I use the reverse gear it displays the system is not available. After a break the system didn't active, had to restart the car
-
New owner, some questions...
Had my first long trip today, 650km (140 national road, motorway for the rest). There's definitely a problem with blind spot monitor activation, I'll have it checked. Quite impressed with fuel consumption, 6.4l/100km (acc set at 135kmh on motorway - 1.5 tsi dsg), a bit less impressed with cabin noise though it's s essentially tire noise (Continental winter tires)

New owner, some questions...
I come back on this topic since I cannot figure out how to solve the BSM issue. Every time I use the reverse gear, the BSM + rear trafic alert deactivates. I don't have a trailer, the system works ok once activated. Any hint?

1.5 TSI DSG : what fuel?
After years of diesel(gate) VW Golf, I'm a bit confused on how to refuel the 1.5 TSI: E10, E5-95, E5-98...E85?
-
New owner, some questions...
ok for the pressure, so it's feature for the BSM, I activate it, I drive, I park the car, I switch the car off. I start the car again, the BSM is off..I read that is related to the owner's habits so I should memorize the (electric) seat position and activat eit a few times. Don't know if it's true for the TMC, thx

New owner, some questions...
Hi, I received my Skoda Superb Combi 1.5 TSI MY2019 a couple of days ago and after a few rides I have some questions... But first of all thanks in advance for the help I already received (aka parking the superb in a 5m box!) - it seems the blind spot monitor deactivates each time I switch off and on the car (or the rear gear?). How is that? This is the real issue of the car so-far - when I press the "car" button in the Amundsen system it asks me everytime to confirm tyres pressure...is that normal? - the virtual cockpit maps got stuck once.. I took a wrong way (according to the navigation) and the maps on the screen of the VC froze. Everything was ok on the system screen (Amundsen), all the indicators in the VC worked correctly ,etc. Just the map on the VC was frozen...Problem solved by switching off the car (no, switching off the Amundsen wasn't sufficient) - talking about the Amundsen. I've seen skoda releases maps updates. Good. Can I change the maps (I mean, change the countries)? I've seen the system is CID-locked which is a problem if the SD card fails. Any issues so far? - Is the TMC free or is there a fee to activate it? I'm located in France, TMC symbol was barred when I checked it (but TMC exists in France) That's all for just a couple of days

parking in a box/garage?
So I came back home with the superb tonight No issues at all in parking the car, I could easily get at 5cm from the wall.. I'll just buy a neoprene to be sure. Thanks all for the answers and the pictures!
