An issue that has been with the car almosrt from new (September 2024) is a fault that causes the Adaptive Cruise Control to loose its ability to adjust the preset distance between you and the car in front. This is tied in with the warning message 'Instrument Cluster Error' The car has been back a few times for down loads and a new instrument cluster and yet again it it now into it's second week with the dealer who, along with Skoda Technical are trying dartboard diagnosis to try and fix it. Such a shame as the car is lovely! Any one else had the same issue?

I was told this download will cure one or all three symptoms. They are :- Battery Discahrge very quickly, Non Start, or the assistance mde for things line lane assist etc will not work.

My Superb was new in September 2024. It has covered 6,000 miles and had been 'Superb' untill a few weeks ago. One Saturday morning I was unable to start the car. The dash lights came on and yet non start. I checked the brake pedal was firmly pressed etc, all doors shut and the usual. This continued over 30 mins or so and still wouldnt start so I phones Skoda Assist. They said they would send some one out in an hour. I kept trying th3e car and eventually it started so I cancelled the Assist. THe car continued to behave and start every time the button was pressed for the next few days. When it happened again I booked the car into the dealer and arranged a date - inbetween this time it happend again. It turns out my car was suffering from some software issue that requried a download to fix. The additional problem with my car was the fact the car would not accept the download and needed a new front camera. Once replaced, the download was accepted and so far, the Superb is Superb again. I can not fault the dealership in any way however, Skoda UK Customer care (who are in South Affrica) leave a lot to be desired. I finally managed to get hold of some one in the Executive office here in the UK and I am back in love with Skoda again.

HI, I am back in the skoda fold again. First time was a new Rapid Hatch in 2014, then a Rapid spaceback sport in 2016, then all sorts of other cars including Kia, Toyota, Volvo, Merc, Audi, and as of this month a new Superb 1.5 SE L Hatch.
