@Rigor Yes found the issue. Had it looked at by a VAG specialist, after the dealership had looked at it and according to the official Skoda Workshop manual/Operations system thingy they use a reset of all systems and taking it off the battery for a couple minutes to reset it should fix it. And there was no follow-up to that in their system, that should just fix it and no further action. Unfortunately that didn't fix it... So I took it to the VAG specialist that also installed the OEM tow hook when the dealership said it wasn't possible, and they did manage to fix it after "calling with Germany" and finding out all it needed was a bit of extra cable tree of about 30cm. They confirmed to me that the official Skoda manual thingy stops after the (battery) reset (they use the same system), but they decided to take a physical look in the fuel tank. They found issues with both fuel pumps and floaters. I checked the invoice and they replaced this: - Jet pump with float - Fuel Transfer Module - Float for fuel gauge (Translated this from Dutch, so might not be 100% correct and unfortunately no parts numbers on the invoice...) This fixed the issue, indicating correctly again! Happy to have that with the current fuel prices ;)

I'm aware of the non-linearity of the gauge, and the adjustment of the predicted range depending on your driving and driving modes over the last period, but that doesn't explain a discrepancy of nearly 200km (+/- 25%) between actual range and indicated range. Non-linear and adjustment based on driving style despite, 0 fuel left will always also have indicated range 0. And that's not the case right now.

Thanks, will have that looked at as well!

Thanks for the feedback! Your suggestions will be at the top of the list! However… The range, average fuel efficiency and liters filled at the petrol station still add up to 70l (ran it nearly empty once and filled up 69, hehe, liters), so that would indicate both the tank halves are connected perfectly fine right? Or is that incorrect to assume?

Since running out of fuel on the way back from vacation this past summer with roughly 180km range on the dashboard left, the indicated range and fuel use just don't make sense. The local Skoda dealership has looked at it during a scheduled service, and they performed the reset of the system as prescribed by Skoda (taking the battery off to reset the bunch), but that hasn't fixed it. The average MPG now seems correct, and we've been using that to calculated when to get gas, but that's not a real solution. Before spending the big bucks at the dealership for them to spend the VAG-billed hours to try and find a fix, I was hoping to get some insights or possible issues/solutions here. The symptoms are as follows: Incorrect range (150-200km too much) indicated (both the range in the virtual dashboard and the lights on the side are incorrect) Correct average MPG reading Looks like the average MPG has increased about 1,5L per 100km No fault codes Car: 2019 Superb Combi Sportline 2.0tsi 272 4x4 (so the pre-facelift Mk3 with GPF and 7DSG) Does anyone have any idea, where to start or what the issue may be? Thanks in advance so much!!

On my previous car, a 2013 Focus ST wagon with ST Suspension XTA coilovers the difference was night and day. And that was with good ST shock absorbers and "only" 3kg difference between the 18inch OEM wheels to my 18inch Enkei summer wheels. So I assume that an even larger difference in weight and worse shock absorbers will definitely have a massive positive impact. And for that 4kg per corner improvement, there are quite a few options; the Japan Racing SL01 or SL02, a few Motec options and the Racingline R360 are all between 9.5 and 10kg each for 19x8ish size.

@rcblur69 not as much as with previous cars to be honest, I'm thinking it has to do something with the DCC compensating for comfort and everything. But whenever I buy stuff for the car, whether it's maintenance or straight up modding I always try to improve on the OEM stuff. So the improved weight and rotating mass is another piece to the puzzle ;)

I’ve had them under the car for a while now, but forgot to post. The new summer setup: They are Japan Racing SL01, in 19x8.5 ET 33. They’re flow formed, so quite a bit lighter than the stock Vega’s (14,5kg), weighing in at just under 10kg. So a good 4kg improvement of unsprung weight. Not to mention the looks! 😍

In EU there’s different kinds of plugs 7pin and 13pin, don’t know if that’s also in the UK? The 13 pin gives much more information about what it’s towing (caravan have more lights and stuff going on). My car now at least recognizes it’s towing a bike rack and not a caravan or trailer, so it doesn’t start the trailer assist guidance.

Just had my 2019 2.0tsi 4x4 sportline with DCC fitted with an OEM towbar even though no towbar prep was specced with the car. Dealership didn’t want to do it because importer said “no”. Found a VAG specialist who went the extra mile and called with Germany, where they were told the car just needed an extra wiring loom of €69,95. Now I have an OEM folding towbar on a car that was not possible according to the local Skoda dealership, that looks and works as if it came OEM from the factory. DCC shouldn’t be the limiting factor here! If coded correctly the car should recognize what it is towing (bike rack or caravan/trailer) and adjust its systems accordingly.

As I can’t find any topic like this (moderator, please delete if there is such a topic), but looking for wheel options for my 2019 2.0 tsi 200kw wagon and can’t find a straight answer on what fits and what doesn’t, let’s collect it in this topic! Please comment your car, setup (lowered or standard?) and the wheel specs (size, width and ET as minimum requirements), optionally with picture to show the fitting. I will update this post to collect all options! Thanks!!

@KeteCantek @Bobodaclown haven't really been able to check for the dust, have yet to wash the car since the install of the brakes.... Oops! Will keep an eye on it, for ****s 'n giggles

Maybe something in the future indeed. For now quite happy with the pedal feel, with the tuning and I have had the first "dead" part throttle coded out as well. And the missus also drives the car, and she previously disliked the throttle happy cars we had. So I may just forgo on the pedal box...

Good suggestion! But in that kind of design, the Motec MCR2 Ultra-light are offered at 8.9kg in the same specs(and 9.3kg for the 38ET), so that would have my preference then.

As promised, an update on the front brake upgrade. The front pads were up for replacement, and the discs were coming soon so I decided to sell this opportunity to the misses to also upgrade the pads and discs. And while we're at it, why not also brake lines and oil, right? After quite a bit of a search for parts, and dealing with some availability (not wanting to pay outrageous import and handling fees if I were to buy parts from the UK, and get them in NL), I landed on a nice combination of brands: - Tarox Strada Pads - Zimmerman Z-sport discs (could barely contain myself, but decided with all the holidays coming up not to splurge and go for the 2-part discs) - Goodridge braided lines - Goodridge Performance Brake Fluid All in all, I think money very much well spent! The brake pedal feel stiffer, the bite of the brakes is much firmer and more direct and overall feel of the brakes has just improved. Haven't had it in real extreme circumstances (repetitive hard braking) yet, but so far the brakes just give more confidence than OEM that they are going to stop and stop every time. Very happy with this upgrade! I also like the looks of these drilled discs, makes them look more purposeful and another hint of the performance potential of the car. I am doubting if I should paint the callipers, to make the whole set-up look a bit more sporty. But I do like the understated sleeper look of the car, and with a new set of aftermarket wheels going on in the spring, painted brake callipers might be a bit much... Now first get the winter tires sorted, and then a winter browsing for the summer wheel upgrade! (Any ideas? Preferably would go lighter than the OEM 19x8 Vegas I'm currently running, nearly 14kgs each...) And as they say, a picture speaks a thousand words, so hereby: Old vs. New Before bedding in: After bedding in:
