From my experience. I had the 220TSI sportline for 2 months from January this year for 2 months and got tired very quickly of excessive wheel spin in the wet. On the way home from work i have to negotiate a steep incline up to some traffic lights and i found myself at a standstill a number of times in wet conditions. The car is too heavy for front wheel drive IMHO. i went back to the dealer and replaced it at extra cost to a 272 sportline plus but it is worth it. It is like driving a completely different car. No more spin and confidence at busy junctions. Trade off is fuel economy going from 33mpg to 28mpg on my daily trip to work of 12 miles.

i had a sportline 220 for 3 months and traded it in. An ex demo 272 came up at the dealer when i went in for a service. Best decision i ever made. No more wheel spin in the wet😀

Mine warning came on and was there for 4 days. Only certain dealers have the kit to recalibrate the radar if it's out of adjustment so a fair amount of travel may be involved. If the issue went away it's probs just a glitch Aftermarket?

I can imagine the weather causing problems but the weather on the day the warning came up was sunny. If there was an issue down to weather surely it would clear but this warning did not. The dealer said the sensor was out of alignment slightly. I was on the motorway when this happened with light traffic. I had already done at least 10 miles. I just can't figure out why. So far so good I hope it stays that way

Jeff they did say i could have had a bump or a stone could have hit the front of the car but there isn't even the smallest mark on it anywhere, i certainly haven't bumped it. I had only drove from Manchester to Carlisle and back and then to work and back 2 days which is 44 miles. I hadn't even left it unattended in a busy car park. I guess this is the price you pay for technology. The car is good again now thankfully but am not confident. Hope my return to skoda from vw is going to be a good one

Hi fellow superb owners, Having gone to the dealer with my 67 plate 220TSI superb sportline for a service and a slight wobble on the steering they informed me they had a lovely white 272TSI 4x4 sportline plus ex demonstator for sale. I test drove the said car and fell in love. Drove like a different car alltogether i must say. I got a good deal on the car so i bought it. 28k for a car with extras and only 3k on the clock i just couldn't walk away. After putting a further 1k on the clock the warning "Front assist Not Available" appeared. I read some threads about this issue and most people seemed to think it would go away. I called the dealer and they said "The front assist can be temperamental. Switch it off and back on, It will sort itself out." After 4 days the message was still glaring at me. I had to book it in at a dealer 35 miles from where i live. They told me it wasn't covered by the warranty and could cost me £400 to be recalibrated. Imagine my surprise after having the car for only a week. Luckily i have had the car for only 10 days so i could take it back so with this threat the dealer i bought it from agreed to pay the cost. I am shocked that this is the case. the car does seem fine but they dealer couldn't swear this wouldn't happen again. I had a golf GTD for 4 years and had no issues. Have skoda really become so stingey with their service? i had a mk2 superb and thought the service i got was great. not so sure now..... Bob M
