There is three trips. Since refuel. Since start (which seems more like a "today" trip and then long term. The long term can be reset by the driver. I wondered the same thing myself when I set off for holiday a couple of weeks ago.

I also finally got Skoda to put on a genuine towbar for me. After unrelated customer service issues I got the retractable towbar for £1,500 rather than the original £2,000 quote! Not great as like everyone else I already had paid for a third party towbar. I can also confirm the car now tows great, no issues with the cars stupid safety features and can reverse without it having a hissy fit. And as mentioned the button release is convenient. I do wonder how long the dropping mechanism of the towbar will last before it starts to corrode and get stuck. Thinking about looking to make a plastic cover to fill in the gap in the under tray to at least stop most of the crud and salt getting to it.

My Skoda Superb also just has the standard screen for the tyre pressure settings. A bit poor really. My 2015 Vauxhall has individual pressure display for each wheel which I woupd argue is a cheaper make of car. Bit disappointed when I first noticed.

Yeah from memory the headlight main beam icon with the A in the middle means the auto main beam is activated. It just then depends on street lights, signs and other vehicles to whether it turns on full main beam or partial main beam depending on where it thinks there is another vehicle positioned etc

That's a cheap quote. My local Skoda is charging me about £2k!

I presumed it was getting it from GPS data like Waze does however on the A75, there are outdated 40mph signs for lorries see image and the car changed its limit to 40mph which is obviously incorrect. Therefore I'm thinking there is a front facing camera which reads the speed limit signs similar to it reading other signs which then flag up on the dash, ie narrow road, roundabout, wild animals.

Doesn't it say in the manual that it doesn't work well in the rain or if the car is dirty. I gave up on the feature in the end. Too many times kicking the underneath of my boot in the supermarket car park with no result. Quicker to just use the key! 😂

Good luck!

Nice one. I'll order the 384 next time. Hope you get the refund. For the price they might just let you keep it rather than faff around with a return.

I think its a great car, just this coding issue with aftermarket tow bars lets it down. I spoke to my local dealer this week and he said the reason VW group have locked down the coding from externals is that in the past someone could plug into your tow bar electrics say when you were in a car park and hack the car and then steal it. Not sure on any reports of this actually happening?? I have booked mine in with Skoda to take out my aftermarket tow bar which I bought from TowbarExpress.co.uk and fit a genuine one. Just a little over £2k for the pleasure which is crazy when the aftermarket one already cost me £800 😭. Not booked in until July and I have three trips with the caravan of over 300 miles, so hoping the PPP alarm doesn't go off too much. More annoying and you look like a pillock driving with your hazards on. I'll report how it is when I get the genuine one fitted as I have a couple of other 300+ mile trips soon after.

Interesting. Let me know how the A384H fits when it arrives 👍

Well the Bosch A335H fits into the arm, it is just a little short on each end. Not the end of the world. I wonder if someone will find an actual match which isn't a rip off from Skoda!

From what I can find the OEM part number is 3V9955425A for the estate model. I have measured my rear wiper and it is about 360 mm long. GREEBO_22 website PartsInMotion, product Bosch 3397016317 Rear Wiper Blade Part number: Bosch 3397016317, says it is only 330 mm long. I need a new rear blade anyway so with free postage and £10 for the blade, I have ordered one and will let you know if its the right one.

I have the 2024 estate superb and had a right faff finding the correct wiper blades. People just didn't seem to stock them which was absurd. I ordered some which said they fit and they didn't! I managed to find them on a website called VIPA Car Parts in the end. Looking now my product I ordered was called "SKODA SUPERB Estate (2015 - 2026) Wiper Blades Set - Premium Windscreen Wipers × 1" however this doesn't appear to be on their website anymore...no product code unfortunately. I have however clicked on the original order and selected "order again" and it puts these in the basket - see link below. Not sure if any of the that helps, but the ones I ordered in January as above, fitted perfectly. https://www.vipacarparts.com/products/skoda-superb-estate-jun-2015-onwards-wiper-blade-set-vcp-a-21294-set?variant=44777565782293

Hi Scotjimland. Appreciate the detailed update. Glad to know it works and you can enjoy your holiday in a couple of weeks. Ill have to take the plunge and get a Skoda tow bar fitted then 😬
