I have uneven tyre wear on the f/n/s and think this goes back to hitting a deep pothole about 6 months ago. The tread depth is now 2mm. I've just had my 20,000 service (14200 on the clock) and been advised by D M Keith in Bradford that I should have a 4 wheel alignment check once I get the 2 new tyres fitted on the front as it is likely that this misalignment is the cause of the uneven wear.

I also have an intermittent fault with the "leaving home lights" not working every time. Whereas the "coming home lights" work every time. My car is six months old and the fault started about a month ago. I don't think it's worth taking it in to the dealership but If the problem persists then I'll mention it on the service. I've tried changing the settings but the fault remains. Despite this minor irritation it's still a brilliant car.

Hi Miljan, Just been out to try your suggestion and yes it worked. That's just saved me a visit to the dealers next week. I'll take delight in pointing this out to their service department. Many thanks. Regards

No, in fact the problem only started when the temperature started warming up (relatively!) and it will still fold when operated from the mirror control knob. The upshot is that the dealer can't identify the problem so he needs the car in the workshop to rectify the problem. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your input.

I always keep it in the "L" position so I get the n/s dropped mirror when reversing. I've just tried the 2 second unlock and I'm on "auto window" but these haven't worked unfortunately. Looks like I'm back to the dealers next week. Many thanks for your thoughts anyway. Apart from this very minor blip the car is perfect.

The mirrors have always folded in by keeping the "lock" button pressed on the remote for 2 seconds. On Friday the mirrors refused to fold. There was no ice obstructing the mirrors and I've not altered any settings on the MDF. The mirrors will still fold when operated by the knob on the door so I know they are still operational. Can anyone offer suggestions as to why they have stopped folding or is it a trip to the dealers?

Lets face it, it all depends on how you want to drive "your" car. You're gonna get lots of differing answers from people, all telling you their own opinions and at the end of the day you have to make that decision for yourself. Go on and have a test drive. For what it's worth I had a Lexus LS430 V8 for 3 years until I got my 140 DSG Superb Elegance in September and despite the massive drop in power I'm still over the moon with the new car and I reckon the power is damn good for the size of the car and I've no quarms in recomending the 140 CR to anyone. I've only got 2.5k miles on the clock so I'm sure things will get even better when the engine is run in.

I've had my Steel Grey 140 DSG saloon for a month now and am really pleased that I ordered this colour (I suppose I would say that wouldn't I) but I've been amazed at the number of people who have been passing and commented " New car - what a lovely colour etc". I test drove an estate in Steel Grey and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Happy motoring.

Many thanks for your replies. These prices are much better than I've been quoted. I'll get myself off to Asda to snap up a bargain. Cheers

I took delivery of my new Steel Grey 140 DSG twindoor last Thursday and I'm absolutely delighted. I thought I knew what to expect but this certainly exeeds all my expectations. I've had plenty of comments from friends and neighbours about the "smashing looking new car" etc. One even commented about my new executive car. Just one person has taken execption to the new car today and thrown a 20p coin and damaged the paintwork on the boot whilst parked in the drive. B*****d! By the way can anyone suggest where I can by VW507 oil at a reasonable price?

I have a Superb on order, due September, and have asked the dealer when DRL LED's will be fitted as standard but they don't seem to know anything about them.

I ordered my Superb Elegance on 25th May and after reading this topic I have asked my dealer today if the umbrella will be included and the reply was an resounding "NO - they were deleted on all orders in May" He also added the old favourite "...of course they can change the specification at any time without notice". Nice one Skoda - that's how to treat customers! Now they are becoming just like all the other manufactureres.

I couldn't test drive a 140 as the dealer only had the 170 dsg. Like you I used to have a Mk1 130pd (manual) and found the performance quite acceptable for me so I'm hopeful the 140CD dsg is going to be ok. The cost differerence between the 170 & 140 has allowed me to order some options. Delivery expected late August so should get it on a 60 plate.

I think the dealer told me the build week about 3 weeks after I placed the order. I'm told there is a three week holiday period at the factory about now so this is obviously factored into the lead times. Let's hope everyone gets back from holiday fully refreshed and ready to build perfect cars for us!

I ordered a Steel Grey 140CR dsg twindoor on 25th May with many extras inc sunroof & heated screen and have been given build week 31, which is early August apparently. I expect to take delivery early September.(I haven't ordered the solar sunroof as I had one on my Mk1 and the guy next door lit a garden fire on a hot day, consequently the fan pulled in the smoke and despite thorough cleaning the entire car was smelling of smoke for many weeks) Looking forward to September!
