    Superchips

    I've asked that question and Superchips says he doesn't think so (but that doesn't mean no obviously). They said that if Skoda does reset the ecu then Superchips will re-do it free of charge but the local agent that does it may charge for their Labour. So an element of risk then. When I get mine done it will be done after the first service due in 3 weeks.

    I'll be getting mine done soon so I'll be the Guinea pig and report back. If you don't hear from me you'll know that the power increase was so great that I went into orbit.

    That's interesting too - good gains on such a small engine and a cheaper alternative to the factory 75.It also means you can gave a limited edition such as a Black or Monte Carlo with a "75" engine that wasn't available as an option.
  4. I may have missed someone else posting this as I haven't been around for a while. A search didn't bring anything recent up. Last year I emailed Superchips to see if they did anything for the 60ps engine. At the time they didn't but they just emailed me to say they now do. It brings the power up to 75 but mostly before 6000rpm and also the torque to above that of the factory 75 engine. The cost £221 Inc vat which doesn't seem bad to me and worth considering.
  5. Agree - I also went from a 2012 Elegance Greentech to a Black Edition. The ride is noticeably quiter and smoother by some margin. Not sure whether it's because of the higher ride height (Greentech is lower) or what but there seem to be a few subtle differences. I nearly had second thoughts in going for a similar car again but glad I did. I'm not noticing any difference between the Black Edition economy and the Greentech either. I had a spare set of 14" alloys with winter tires which I kept (use one as a spare). I've just changed on to them for the winter and can't really notice any difference between the 14's and 15's.
  6. Yes to both - the locking wheel nut key should be in the boot and the Entertainment Pack is one of the better upgrades imo.
  7. My first Citigo had the same problem but my new Black Edition is a lot better, in fact very good. I am wondering if the headlight reflectors have been changed because I was expecting to change the bulbs as I did before but there is no need on this occasion.
  8. Agreed with you on the 6 Speaker/Entertainment Package. I've always wondered why there aren't more around with that option as it is a bargain for the money.
  9. The handover proforma clearly states ensure that the pdi report is passed to the customer. I got one with my Black Edition and my wife got one with her Yeti.
  10. Am just coming up to 600 miles in my Black Edition and the Long Term economy is 56.4 and still creeping up. Pretty damn good as I don't even try to drive economically and tend to use the Rev range up to 4500 (4000 for the first 500 miles)
  11. Aye - was considering doing the bolt covers next. If I do those it will be with plastic black spray.
  12. The original paint is like a light grey primer. As mine is/was new it's still in good condition. I just cleaned it and used Halfords generic gloss black. I thought about using their Very High Temp stuff but I'm not expecting the back drums to get particularly hot. It appears to have given a nice durable finish. If it doesn't work them I'll just rub then down and try something else. For the callipers I did use Calliper black paint. On the inner wheel arches I used the gloss acrylic black. It was only an afternoons work to do the whole lot.
  13. Agreed - that and illuminated window switches (both operable from drivers side) + a boot light and self operating parcel shelf. A few wee things that wouldn't cost the earth that really should be standard.
  14. Not so easy to see but I also sprayed the interior of the wheel arches too which looks better. The factory finish under there is more primer than topcoat (or it was on mine) and it looks much better painted properly black.
  15. Sorry just noticed the last question, but the interior is exactly the same as the SE.
