I have Mk3 280s which was delivered 12/2023 (so I presume one of the last manufactured batches) and it requires 0W30. I am not sure where the 0W20 information comes from. Mine was for Slovak market. My guess is that this type of oil would be shared between Western/Central Europe and the Balkans too (climate is more or less the same in these regions).

I appreciate you taking the time to check. So it's not the same. Anyway, still very nice! ;-) I have owned three cars so far, all of them were red :-D

Mine was from the "fleet colours" (at least that's how they called it in my country). It was pretty cool to be honest, something like 60 different, sometimes crazy, colours to choose from on top of the base selection. We didn't like base metalic red they had, but in the fleet palette there were another three reds so we got Raspberry Red (my wife's selection of course). Regarding stone chips, I opted for a PPF protection since I want to keep it for an extended period of time so the extra cost of the PPF will somehow stretch over time (of course PPF also has its own lifetime).

Hi @Windybum What's the name of your car's colour? It seems very similar to mine (Raspberry Red). I also have the 280 estate.

Hey @CubbyQ You might try Koch Chemie Fresh Up. Not saying it'll help 100% because judging from what you wrote it's pretty nasty in there, but it might help. https://www.koch-chemie.com/en/products/fresh_up

Hi @leolito Judging by your mileage your car is newer than 2018. If that's the case you should use G12evo coolant which is actually newer generation compared to G13. AFAIK G12evo is backwards compatible so you can use it in cars older than 2018. Unfortunately I don't know if using G13 in post-2018 car would do any harm or not.

Sounds awesome, but I would probably need to pair it with at least a Stage 1 tune to "justify" (in my head) the sound compared to the amount of horsepower (I have the 280). For whatever reason my brain thinks that a car with this sound needs more HP than that :-) In any case I am grateful for you posting this because I've been searching for something like this for some time. Once the car is out of warranty I have already a few upgrades in mind.

Would you mind sharing where did you get it made? It indeed looks amazing.

It was a 1500 EUR option in 2023

I feel similarly about the 2.0 TSI 280 🙂 And considering you can (safely) crank it up to around 350 PS is pretty worrying 😂

Hello everyone, let me introduce James The Superb, our Superb Estate L&K 206/280, colour Raspberry Red. Ordered 08/2023 and delivered 12/2023. Immediately after the delivery I got it wrapped in Xpel PPF to protect the paint as well as underbody rust protected with Dinitrol. It also has a clear protective film applied on the windshield. I'd like to keep it long term so I decided to spend this additional money for the protection (already got a few nasty rocks hit the windshield on the motorway and so far it's holding). After the warranty expires I am looking into a few upgrades like ECU & TCU tune and Bilstein shocks.
