Superb Sportline 280 4x4
Not a price expert, depends on additional options over standard Sportline as not L&K plus colour may have a bearing. Estate commands more over hatch. GLWS

New to me MK2 Purchase
@Dandan00 Take your time with the DSG. When putting it into drive and pulling away release the brake wait for the pull or roll before accelerating. It’s not a torque converter auto so behaves different. They are very keen to change up quickly so labours a bit if you don’t press on.

@Dandan00 Seen the car advised at Keith’s looks very nice. Will they refurb those alloys in the price or are you pushing too far, you gotta ask or you don’t get!

Those DRLs built into headlight itself yes noticed that. I think it may have come in after 2012 IMO.

If it has xenon headlights they are great check for dance on startup and nice white light on both. When start going pink means new bulb. Drl fog lights change bulbs to non error LED looks better once purchased.

17” wheels hopefully makes for a better ride. Check carefully around tailgate number plate lights for any signs of galvanic corrosion and get it resolved as it ruins the car.

SE plus I think we’re well spec’d sounds like a good one. Keep those sunroof drain holes clear if it’s one that opens. Listen out for wheel bearings and check for broken suspension springs mot should spot this.

1.6 may have issues. Superb is a very large car especially estate. Will fuel and other filters be changed has it had the emissions fix applied might reduce EGR life although they can go without fix. Check for vibration and labouring at low speeds couid be DMF for clutch I love my superb elegance estate but it’s had its fair share of common issues. You have had Japanese might have been very reliable and low maintenance

Cambelt Gamble!
I gambled my high mileage Octy2005 TDi had 3 or more belts by meand when it was costing more than I could sell it for I decided not to change. I did no inspections on mine at all. Sold at 265k. The replacement recommended was 4 years or 85k whichever sooner. For mine.

Drivers door handle
Mine used to do that but always heard it click back as door was closed from drivers seat. I didnt exactly slam it shut. Never caused any issues so never addressed it.

Most likely you are not letting it complete a DPF regen or taking it on a long run.

Blower not working
Another happy customer here 2011 Superb Elegance DSG combi. Motor packed up weeks ago and it’s been cold. Only saving grace is heated seats all around heated front as well as rear screen and a microfibre to wipe the mist off the doors. Managed to break the arrow alignment tab on mine it came out with a twist. But it was a pain trying to ease it past whatever was stopping it coming down into the footwell. Copious amounts of GT85 spray later I felt it moves better but not totally free. Back in the car and I have a heater again. That you so much to all who posted and @Sanmart for assisting with the free fix. I would say it was water ingress in my case as there was some signs of it around the motor casing once removed. Any ideas where it’s coming from and how to deal with it? Where are people ordering replacement blowers from?

Trusty old 1.9tdi or newer 1.6tdi?
It’s the cam chain that worried me on these, we had a 2008 1.4 122hp Golf and it rattled on startup, always wondered if there was a problem brewing. It got wrote off at low miles so I never knew.
