Same here, on a granny charger for the last year, have done 3k+ electric miles on that, no need for a charger as max charge speed for a home charger is 7kWh Vs 3ish kWh on a granny plug.

Same as the folks mentioned above, 32 miles in summer, about 22 winter time. Power is not a concern, it really pulls (although maybe you're used to more hp on the M3). Charging is slow, but absolutely fine for the battery. I would say, with your budget, try and look for the L&K variant, I managed to get mine last year, 42k miles, 2020 for 19k so not too far off of your budget and prices feels like have fallen, so might be able to find a good LK example for under 18k. Heated and ventilated seats and 3 zone climate control is class. As for maintenance and things to look out for, would say deffo see if 40k DSG has been done (I did it on mine, cost me £341, including new brake fluid etc directly from Skoda), Otherwise, get the all in plan, as it classifies, can read about it online, but effectively extended warranty - I got my infotainment replaced under it and didn't have to pay a penny (otherwise quote was 2k+). Final thing, when checking cars, check their software version, if 0156, its a bit hard to update, unless you go to dealer. Happy to answer any other questions you might have!

Hi all, @r0bb10 and @vegarz, after a long break, I'm back and determined to finally do this update from 0156 as it has started to be more and more laggy. Progress I've had since last time is I bought a VCDS from RossTech, so I can do some other adaptations as well. Anyway, checked my OCU version and is 88, I know it was mentioned previously that its important. I quickly had a look with VCDS in Telematics 75 with the adaptations, and from the dropdown I couldn't find anything that resembles this Crash Signal menu indicated on the TPIs and in Rob's post. Really appreciate any guidance here. Many thanks in advance!!

Came back from dealer, software update only is 180gbp

How do I check the version? Apologies for the basic questions, still getting up to speed with all of this and don't want to break anything.

Might actually just drop it off and see what the damage is later on. Thanks!

Hi @Rainesh do you know if dealer will charge for the update from 0155 onwards? I currently have purchased extended warranty, but they couldn't confirm over the phone if it will be covered or not unfortunately..

Understood, thank you both!

@xman Thanks for the suggestion, this is actually really smart! Wanted to check, as I couldn't find it in the T&C, is a DSG service included in those 2 services? As my car is~40k miles on a DSG6 and would need service soon, so tallying up options. Thanks!

Hi all and @r0bb10. Thanks for the detailed instructions! Was just going through them prepping everything (on a Superb IV 2020) and wanted to check on the OCU Crash Signal update to go through CAN - how can I update that through CarScanner? I had a look at the menus there, but couldn't find anything to do with 0075 module or OCU. Actually I lied, found it in the long coding section, but unsure what values I need to update (screenshot attached)zvi Many thanks for the help in advance!

Thanks vegarz, had a look at the thread, looks like I would need to contact the dealer for some excel sheet containing some activation number as the GPS will stop working? Also, is the update from 156 to 278 from the dealer free of charge or do you pay for it? Finally, what odb reader I need, as I see some referenced in the threads? Many thanks

Thanks, strangely, mine is 0156, which sounds way too old? It's connected to my home WiFi, sat in the car for 20-30mins, on the "searching for updates" screen, but nothing was found. Is there a way to manually load the new software? Thanks jn advance

Thank you all for the help here! I've actually pulled the trigger and bought the car! So far, first impressions are great, fuel economy is surreal (although only done like 60 miles all short journeys). One small issue is the slowness of the infotainment system when the car boots up, but I guess it needs some getting used to. Also the lack of android auto onto the virtual cockpit 😕 but it is what is it, I guess. Did a service as part of the sale, and they changed oil, filter and spark plugs. Prev history only shows oil changes. Anything that you think needs changing? Really excited to have it, so want to make sure everything is sorted at the start.

Thank you mate, this is insightful! How many miles you reckon you've done on electricity only, 1/3? Also, what's your mpg on longer drives (>100 miles)? Finally, I read that Skoda has this app to control charging, etc, is it subscription based, or all free?

Hi Folks, long time lurker here, but time has come to register and ask the experts here for some advice! In short, based in the UK, want to purchase a Superb Mk III L&K and am considering either a 2.0 TSI or 1.4 IV. Originally was going to go for the 2.0, but have started noticing that the IV variant is dropping in price by quote a lot making it a viable purchase for my commuting needs. Use of the car will be mostly short journeys, within 15 miles, with the occasional 100+ mile once a month, making the IV a good contender, as I have where to charge it at home, albeit on a granny plug. Searched everywhere, but could barely find anything on battery capacity and performance on IVs with 50k+ miles on the odometer - Is there a user here, that has this kind of mileage on any of the IV 13kwh variants to report any usage? Main worry is that battery is close to its end of life, and would be lugging around an extra 2-300kg of weight unnecessary, when I could've taken the 2.0 and not have that problem in the first place? I read online that Skoda covers HV battery for 8 years or 100k miles, but I don't trust that replacement will be an easy if it fails before, due to some small font condition, buried in the T&Cs... I have my eye on two IVs, both single owner cars with full service history from Skoda dealers, and both look to be company cars, guessing from the mileage. One is 46k mileage, hatchback; and the other is 80k miles, estate, both in very good cosmetic condition, inside and out. Would appreciate any input here. Many thanks!
