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?

Ah, interesting, thanks for that Warrior193.

Superb Estate: Strange cut-outs in load area - anyone know what purpose they serve?

71 plate, delivered 2 weeks into March? How come, what's the back story there?

Got my 280 L&K estate last week, ordered end of May - I’ve only been able to look at it so far and can’t drive it for another 3 weeks - had a minor stroke / hospital admission two days before delivery.

Did you not get a 'hard copy' with the car? It's not as comprehensive as previous Skoda manuals inasmuch as it uses a lot of 'QR' code boxes but it covers all the necessary stuff.

Despite the manual saying you can close it on the remote, I can't get it to respond.

I work around the problem by just touching the accelerator momentarily………..

I think you just touch the screen and it goes away / back to where you were.............

Yep, they actually rolled over without any further contact. I suspect they were testing the waters so to speak. They did tell me yesterday the vehicle was awaiting a transporter which could be 1 - 2 weeks, so we are (possibly) into the middle of February anyway, whichever way it goes.

Possibly came over on the same boat as my L&K - ordered 24th May - built week 29 - been awaiting parts for a few months - arrived UK earlier this week - dealer will have it by the end of next week and I'll have it 1st March.

Yep, I've noticed in my 12 years on here, some do like to see fellow members in predicaments and put the boot in given half a chance............

I used DrivetheDeal.com for my L&K 280 Estate - they are normally quite quick to withdraw any vehicles/options that the manufacturer deletes - just had look at their web site and the 280 L&K is still being offered at just over £38k with the options you list?

24 weeks was the lead time when I ordered........

Droll, very droll............oh how we laugh............I will have waited 40 weeks - I want to delay registration by 2 weeks, not unreasonable.

Not much sympathy then! There's no stipulation (that I can see) in the finance agreement that requires the motor to be registered when it arrives? It's my car, not a lease deal, registered in my name, paid with my monies via a 5.6% loan over 3 years. I don't think it's unreasonable to have a new car registered on the 1st of the month.

My dealer called today, seems my Superb ordered in May has made it to the dockside at Emden awaiting a ferry and should be at the dealership early February - great - however - they're telling me because I'm using a the Skoda finance contribution the vehicle 'must' be registered within a few days of arriving, offering me a selection of '71' plates to choose from. I put it to them that I'd be losing out financially on two fronts, one, the resale value of a '71' is going to be less than a '22' and up to a month's worth (£140) of VED. It was suggested that the 71 - 22 plate business won't affect any resale value as it's the year that counts! We didn't resolve this as the car hasn't yet made it onto a boat......However, I feel they are being unreasonable - anyone else had this problem?

In what way did they not fit, too slack on the arm or just wouldn't go on? I see Halfords don't offer Bosch 864 for the iV but the Halfords 143 set they suggest is equivalent to the 864's - all very curious.

Ah, yes - talk of SD cards - completely forgot about the Columbus not needing 'em...........however, I'm thinking the SE Tech came with Amundsen?

Had a dealer update this a.m. - Car has been 'released' but it'll be about 4 - 5 weeks before it arrives no mention of any missing toys - 22 Reg it is then........I ordered end of May build started week 29.

Yep, 2 SD card slots, one for the Navigation data and one for your music……….Skoda Nav normally only works with genuine Skoda cards.

Well 310golfr, you predicted my Superb would be a 22 reg and it looks as if you'll be proved right, not a peep from my dealer since 12 November when they pointed out the Superb '.....has a good few chips in it'!

Didn't suggest a bigger fuse, just pointed out that the standard fuse is 25amp...........thus, you can have 300watts. Also, I'm sure each socket has its own fuse.....?

If you are running with a 25amp fuse then it'll be around 300 watts, quite a bit - I dare bet any sustained draw at full whack the feed will get quite warm ....?
