I have to amend this as apparently its not a recall but an advisory notice for dealers to check any electric boot struts, my strut actually collapsed and broke off at the tailgate end, if either myself or my wife had been in the boot when it happened we could have been seriously hurt when it fell down. Both struts are being replaced under warranty.

Took my car in for 2nd service today only to get a phone call from the service department to say that the tailgate support strut collapsed on them during the service and when ordering a replacement strut found that there was a recall on these struts, is anybody else aware of this recall?

Hi, Today I have had my 2013 1.8tsi Dsg elegance recalled for an gearbox oil change, has anyone else had this? and if so did they manage to get a reason-I couldn't- the receptionist pleaded ignorance.

Hi, I'm 73 and like to be different

Thanks for that, I'll try that tomorrow.

Hi, I have a 13 reg Superb Elegance and I cannot get my Nokia 520 to connect to my Columbus, I have Bluetooth switched on but after searching for new user display comes as no connection possible, can anyone help or should I take back to the dealer and see if they can resolve the problem, Any advise most welcome as I am not technically aware. Thanks in advance.

My MY13 1.8tsi Elegance Dsg does not have one.

Had mine just over a week now, ordered on 28th February, same model as you are waiting for, an absolute dream to drive, gear change is as smooth as silk. hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine.

Just received £13450 for my 3yr old twindoor elegance Superb against a new 1.8tsi elegance estate, more than satisfied with that plus the Vat offer it all made sense.

The way I deleted unwanted numbers from my Superb-after like yourself not finding an obvious way was to go back to factory default settings and then re-entering your phone password to connect your phone which will then upload your phonebook to the Columbus, It worked for me.

My Superb was ordered on 28th February, I was informed by my dealer that it had been built and awaiting shipping on 23rd of April, was contacted by dealer yesterday to be given the registration number and because I have to have the car converted to hand controls an agreed handover date of 20th of May was decided, I consider that the time from ordering to collecting is quite reasonable, as I have memories of the days when vehicles from certain car manufacturers could be ordered and delivered within a fortnight but unfortunately a lot of those cars had been built up to a year previously and been sitting on old airfield runways before being sold, I would sooner wait like we have to now and know that the vehicle that you ordered has been built just for you.

I ordered my Superb on the 28th of February, one week before you with quite a lot of extras, panoramic roof, kessy, wood trim, electric tailgate Dsg, so our orders are quite close. Hope you have a better experience with Underwoods than I did. Also any Superbs ordered prior to end of March, when dealers stopped taking orders for Superbs would as I have been given to believe would be non facelift models-they have only recently started taking orders for facelift models.

The very next day after answering your first post I received a phone call from my dealer,( just by the way I assume your dealers to be Underwoods ) that my Superb had left the factory and is awaiting shipment and would be available to me in four to five weeks, so on that basis I would have thought that your vehicle could be ready around the same time as mine because depending on how many vehicles my dealer (Vindis, Bury-st- Edmunds) would be expecting, that your Superb could be on the same transporter, Of course I could be completely wrong but I hope not.

I ordered my new superb 1.8 tsi Dsg Elegance at about the same time as you,I was told build date would be end of April and ready for me towards the end of May, Though Skoda often do have small stocks of standard vehicles available it doesn't mean that what you may want even without any extras is sitting in a field somewhere like a couple of other well known manufacturers who shall remain nameless, its could the colour or the Dsg that is not available that make your order a factory one, then when built it then has to wait to be shipped along with many more orders, when it arrives in this country it has to wait again to be transported to your dealer, then the dealer has to prepare the vehicle ready for you-so a month from build time to you getting your vehicle is not so bad.
