  1. Is their a more detailed breakdown than the example you have shown? Where you have additional work what actually was the work? Also how does a potential buyer know if the car has had brake fluids changed . filters changed . DSG oil changed etc?
  2. Like @Danoid I have a SEL running on 235/40/19 tyres with standard suspension and agree that the ride was comfortable and reasonably quiet. then I had Michelin Cross climate2s all round and this has given the ride quality a big lift now very stable and quiet If anyone has 19 inch rims running on Bridgestone OEM tyres and are finding them very loud change to All season tyres and see ( and hear!!) the difference
  3. Last year I had front and back genuine OEM mudflaps supplied and fitted by my local Skoda dealer for £100, which TBH I thought was reasonable. They have been very good and kept the car a lot cleaner throughout this winter. Would certainly have them fitted on my next car
  4. Hi @Mr_Bigglesworth the DSG in mine is the DQ381 which from day 1 has been brilliant - no hesitation and smooth as butter. The 190 engine is the EA888 gen 3b which again IMHO is a great engine and in its 190 form barely stresses it through any type of driving. This engine has I believe a chain driven cambelt that requires a service NOW every 80,000 miles, If any of this is incorrect I am sure someone with more than my limited know how will soon be on to correct this. Hope this helps
  5. Hi, I drive a 2.0 TSI 190 Superb hatchback which averages around 32mpg around town and can get 45 mpg on motorway runs at sensible speeds ( 65/70 ish) Sorry haven't driven a 1.5TSI for comparison but what I can say is the 2.0TSI 190 engine suits the Superb with it being quiet and responsive, Hope this helps you a little
  6. I have a SE L Hatchback with the 2.0TSI 190 engine and DQ381 7 speed wet clutch DSG . The engine suits the car great with good power delivery and quiet. Only issue i find is if your mileage is mostly short town running you will be lucky to average much more than 32 mpg , however as @KeteCantek has said above on motorways and good dual carriageways you can see 45 mpg. Other than that the car has been trouble free Hope this helps you
  7. Cant believe how good the mud flaps are at keeping my car cleaner than normal considering the weather. First time I have had them fitted on any of my cars but now would be the first thing I have fitted
  8. Yes I agree but the OP car looks RHD ?
  9. TBO I thought it was only the left hand mirror that dropped when you selected reverse. Logic was that by dropping the nearside mirror on a RHD car you would see the where the Kerbside was when reversing,
  10. I have a 2019 facelift 190 TSI SEL hatchback and cover around 4k miles a year . My usage is around 70 % urban and 30% dual carriageway and over the past 4 years have averaged 32mpg. Under these conditions i find the engine ideally suited to the car being quiet and responsive enough to keep out of trouble if needed and not get into trouble if you see what I mean😁.
  11. I bought my 2 year old Superb via emails and would never do business just by phone. A good rule is phone initially then all transactions by email, it has literally saved me thousands of pounds when should problems arise later you respond back with the justification in print for your claim. In my experience people have a habit of false claims and untruths when knowing their is no record of the dealings of a sale, and want to use a phone to avoid leaving an audit trail
  12. I have a MY2020 SEL Hatch with both side covers fitted
  13. The new Next base dash cams have done away with the suction cup and now use an adhesive pad , I had the old Next base like yours with the suction cap that kept falling off, Now I have the latest one with the adhesive pad and so far (touch wood!!) its stayed put - no problem at all, Give Next base a call I am sure they will drop a couple of pads in the post. Also make sure the glass is dry and clean before fixing All the best
  14. The 2.0TSI 190 is a cracking engine and suits the Superb well. Its very responsive and quiet ,
  15. Have to agree with @Bap33 had mudflaps fitted recently and cant believe how clean the car keeps even through all this wet weather. Will definitely always fit mudflaps in future
  16. I changed my 19 inch tyres from OEM Bridgestone Potenza to Michelin Cross Climate 2 18 months ago, My average was 32.5 mpg under Bridgestone and interestingly has risen to 34.0 mpg with the Cross Climates. Another benefit was a quieter ride. Tyres were both standard 235/40 R19 and pressures were 36psi. Hope the above helps
  17. That would be great logic if you had not told everyone the facts in a forum!!
  18. Think you may be missing the point @310golfr, by taking your car in and getting the recall recorded in your service record .irrespective of what the dealer actually does you are covering yourself /the car should now anything untoward happen. You will have a problem with any insurance claim and when selling the car someone could flag up that it has recalls outstanding which could affect the decision to buy, Just a thought?
  19. Second what @numskull is saying - I have 19 inch wheels and when I changed the original Bridgestone Potenza to Michelin cross climate 2s the difference was startling - far far quieter and smoother than I expected. TBH I never would have believed that the choice of tyre could make such a huge difference . Motto for me is Keep the 19 inch wheels for the look and change to Michelin cross climate 2s for the ride.
  20. Sorry I worded that very badly - what I was trying to say that my SEL interior leather and chrome is as good as a new Mercedes E Class and a top of the range Volvo costing 50k+
  21. Hi @Bud totally disagree about the interior quality - my last two cars from new were Mercedes E class and Volvo S90 and the chrome and leather in my SE L is no worse than those.
  22. Just a thought , could certain drivers rest there hand on the DSG handle as a habit whilst driving and not realise they may be "picking at the handle?, I know it can happen on TV remote controllers -just ask my wife!!😁
  23. On my MY2020 build Amundsen MIB2,5 there is no b pillar button. You can disable interior monitoring /tilt protection via the infotainment menu or the short cut push the lock button twice within 2 seconds.
  24. Totally agree with @Shuggyboatsuperb I always have my MOT done at an independent before having a service with the main dealers
  25. Thank you for replying vegarz with this information. I bought the latest Skoda SD card with 2023 maps off Ebay for £20 last year and yes it works no problem. Cheers
