Drivers Seat Discomfort - Again.!
k.young replied to Whaty's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
I changed my 2016 L&K for a 2019 L&K back in January. No trouble with the previous seat but since I changed I am having awful trouble with my back.......to the extent tat I'm thinking of changing the car. Agony. -
I would say the ratio is 60:40 motorway to non motory driving.........BUT........when it's not on a motorway.....It gets pushed on.....hard!!

This Skoda/VW platform is notorious for allignment issues........particularly on the rear. I have seen that on my rears many times over the 1 million kms plus that I have done on this platform. Just get a 4 wheel allignment done and keep an eye on it. -
I have been a travelling salesman for 30 years.........have driven a few million kms.

I put 650,000kms on an Octavia 2.0tdi (140) DSG

I just chopprd my 2016 2.0tdi DSG L&K against my current car in January. Can't remember exactly but it had circa. 400k kms on it. I had it on long life servicing and sometimes I had to top up the oil before a service interval...........a couple of wheel bearings and a DCC shock was all that failed on it.

The 190 is more likely to trouble the traction control than the remapped 150 My 190 was a 2016 so had the 6 spd DSG, whereas my 2019 150 has the 7 spd.........it's a weird change from 1st to 2nd in the 7spd, I find............it kinda slips the clutch between 1st and 2nd (this is probably why it doesn't break traction as easily as my old 190.

I have just remapped my 2019 150 tdi. The figures from all the remap companys will tel you that the car will end up with 185 - 190 hp and 420-430 nm........so actually, slightly more powerful than the 190 version, but I find it is not as powerful as the std 190. The standard 190 has a bigger turbo and higher spec injectors . I ran a 190 for almost 4 years and this January chopped it in against a 150, within 24 hours I had the 150 remapped.........it is definitely worth doing....definitely. But you won't have a faster car than a 190. I find with the remapped 150, I don't really have to rev it past 3k because the torque is so strong now. At motorway speeds (120 kmh in Ireland) a little dab on the throttle will drop the car to 6th gear and the roll on grunt is very impressive. Did I mention it's worth doing !!

Also, make sure the parcel shelf is "securely" sitting in its holders........sometimes you think they are in place but need quite a hard thump for them to seat in properly.

I need one of those flat bottem flappy paddle wheels in my car!!!!!

Oh no.........look what I've started!!!!! So, for the avoidance of doubt.......mechanical sympathy prevents me from putting my car into 1st while moving.
