I've not noticed it on my 2021 L&K but then again its not been cold - What I have noticed is the 'temp' gauge show almost normal 90c after travelling half a mile or so. I did try the heated screen whilst parked on the drive one frosty morning, excellent and speedy. None the old heated wire business - just all over defrosting in 30 seconds. I'm pretty sure my 12 year old Golf has got this electric heater - I only notice it on icy mornings - it provides warm (that is not so icy) air to the screen.........

Foolishly, ever so slightly, brushed against a wooden gate post, paint on the rear bumper has just peeled off exposing the black plastic. I'm amazed how soft the Moon White paint is - days gone by such a incident would require a bit of T-Cut and job done.

I agree, coincidence / bad luck. It happens.

I’d have thought is a forgone conclusion that the 280 will be dropped - Skoda can’t be selling many as it is………

I looked removing mine - changing it for something more suitable for coins etc but figured it was gonna be big job.........

It’d be nice if the ‘elves’ in China could develop the device one step further and have it turn on/off via the insertion of the usb cable…

The charger is illuminated all the time yes/no - what sort of drain does it put on the battery? I'm thinking 2 weeks parked up at the airport scenario.........

I've recently traded a 2019 Karoq with tyres featuring a nice kerb rubbing strip which gave me a extra confidence when near the kerb - however, its replacement, a Superb, has tyres that appear slightly narrower than the wheels thus making me very nervous and slightly over-cautious when park at the kerb.

Does anyone know how to access info about the Columbus sat nav / gps system on a 2022 Superb, specifically how many satellites are locked in? Mine is playing up, it gets out of its comfort zone whenever I come to a busy / complicated junction , will often go 'off road' - despite the vehicle being on the only road for miles - but even more frustrating is its tendency to pick a random part of the country (or sea) and go hunting for a road to lock onto for a few moments. This randomness can last for 1 or 2 miles up to 50 when it will suddenly snap out of it and behave relatively normal. I'm reluctant to take it in inasmuch as I can't be sure it'll mis-behave on cue.

Nice work Frankenfurter - yours is the 1st post I’ve read criticising the useless Superb ‘phone storage - I couldn’t believe how awkward and tight the oem facility proved to be. I’ve opted for a USB charger in the arm rest box fed from a ignition switched source on the fuse box with Apple Play via Bluetooth………

Did you get this sorted?

Crikey - Blackvue know how to charge!

It’s a widely held view / myth - but I’ve yet to see any proof / conformation of this ‘uprated’ cooling system…………..I’d very much like it to be true but for the nominal amount of money charged I doubt it amounts to much…………Skoda aren’t renowned for being magnanimous.

After more ‘testing’ I’ve come to the conclusion that coasting is not a feature on my late ‘21 build 2.0tsi DSG.

Thanks ‘aerofurb’, now I know what it is a Google search explains all - well, sort of all…..!

Just getting to grips with the (seemingly) overly complicated virtual cockpit controls / settings. Now then, this may be obvious to some, but what's this car with green bars thing all about?

Not good for you but it does indicate that the 280 will still be in production 2023............

I’ve got that ‘kw’ bar thingy in my 280 too………seems to be an indicator as to how much power is being produced.

Had the same problem in our Karoq - clicking as the relay activated and the noise when the wiper motor was running - quite the loudest I've ever heard in a car!

I started to de-badge my 4x4 but the wife felt takin' the S K O D A off was a just too much.............so it stayed........and she was right, it needs something there.

Was it 'Sarah' you were dealing with matey, I found her most pleasant and helpful unlike the guy that took my order?

It is a late 21 build DSG - having tried out the 'eco' mode I didn't detect any disengaging of the drive when going downhill. I've been into the Drive Mode options and can't find any mention of 'coasting'..............handbook is useless, just says refer to Digital Version - the one built into the info centre doesn't appear to have a search function..........and the 'online' one doesn't mention coasting!

Thanks Kenny, but I still need to know if it's switchable in some way? My 2.0 TSI doesn't seem to have (eco) the coast facility......

I've done a search but can's see / find and answer: do the 4x4's have a coast function and where do you activate / disable it?

I’ve got a late 2021 Superb and one registration on my VCDS - I know things have changed in the later cars and you can’t tamper as much but does that include minor things like rear daytime lights and alarm chirp? In other words is it worth spending my last VCDS credit on a 2021 Superb?
