Well, I messed around with some settings in Android Auto and also in the car and connected my car to the wifi which I think had changed. Seems to now be working....

I think I have a spare one of those kicking around, so I may have to do that on the upcoming road trip if I can't find a better suggestion. Thanks!

Have a 21 plate Superb L&K. Not really sure what setting has been changed or what has happened, but for some reason mirrorlink always tries to activate if I plug the phone in. This never used to happen, the car would connect wirelessly to the phone and use android auto, and then if plugged in it would continue to use android auto. But for the last several months, I can connect wirelessly and it will use android auto, but if I plug in then it tries to use mirrorlink, which then does not connect. Unplugging the phone doesn't help and it just won't connect until I turn the engine off and on, or delete the phone connection and restart (and do not plug in the phone). Effectively, I can't actually charge my phone in the car anymore. Driving me a bit bonkers, so I would really appreciate it if someone knows the fix to this!

I just got a L&K Estate and so am wondering this although I really would only want to have a 4 bike unit attached. Does anyone know if I would still need the cooling mods (no tow bar prep on mine unfortunately)? Would there be any issues with insurance or warranty (presumably yes on warranty - I have the 2 year warranty on the current PCP deal) if you got a tow bar without the proper cooling mod?

Having now had the car a few days, I'm in the camp of quite liking the wheels (I may not be saying that once they are kerbed and I can't repair them though!!)

That was on a mainly motorway journey (av speed across motorway and town was 60!), yet to really experience the true urban mpg, I expect it will tally with yours!!

So took delivery of my new-used 2.0Tsi L&K today. Delivery driver managed to achieve 50.9mpg on a 200 mile drive - I was very impressed with the economy (and appreciative he had clearly not been razzing it!)

Very glad to hear this as I'm hopefully going to be getting up a used Superb 2.0Tsi this week!

Hi all, I'm looking at a vehicle that comes with Propus wheels. Just wondering how easily they are repaired (including DIY) for the inevitable dings. On my SEAT, it was pretty easy to repair with alloy filler and buy the genuine spray paint to touch up. Just wondering if the spray paints are as easily sourced etc and if so someone can point me in the right direction of the right paint etc.

It was defo a 2.0T.

That is what I thought. I mean I have a 200bhp 2.0Tsi (older VAG car) manual and I thought it would be pretty similar. I think there was an issue with the one I test drove (was at a independent shop). When another comes up local, I will have to go and test drive it!

Thanks for this. It was the 190 that I test drove, just seemed sluggish on pulling away. Night and day compared to the Octavia 2.0Tsi (2019) 190 - hence me thinking that maybe it was a duff example of one and I need to find another Superb 190 to test drive!

@logiclee all agreed. That was essentially my line of thinking. But L&K all comes at a cost and this won't be our main car (but will be our holidaying car etc). To be honest there isn't much available used, so it may be the case of not being too choosy!

Thanks very much for the replies. @Stonechip that is helpful to know. Funny thing is that I drove a Skoda 2019 2.0Tsi and felt it was a bit laggy and to be honest no better than a 2022 1.5Tsi that I drove. Then drove a Octavia 2019 2.0Tsi just a few days ago and thought it was great. Think something must have been up with the 2.0Tsi Skoda that I drove so need to go and try another one! Very helpful to know that 69 plates will get me most of the upgrades needed, that is earlier than I thought the facelift happened. Though the earlier facelifts will miss out on digital dash which seems more normal on more recent plated cars, the steering wheel that changed around 2021 and MIB3 (I think wireless Android Auto would be the main miss to be honest) which also came in a bit later I think. I haven't driven a Sportline, but that and L&K remain options if I can find one within the price bracket as well. Seems like some say the Sportline is a better ride than the SE L for normal driving and is not too firm, but I am put off by the Alcantara seats (children and dog!). L&K's seem nice, but not sure I *need* all the extras....

Thanks for the replies. In some further digging it seems that 69 plates have most of the face lift changes I think. Send like the steering wheel change can on 70 plates (not sure if there is specific benefit to the newer steering wheels, are they all heated or something?), the digital dash appears to become standard in a change a few years later too. Not sure if the infotainment change also happened in the 69 plate or later.
