Wardy-

I’ve actually met Paul a few times 😁

Just ask me next time

All DSG regimes are based on distance, across all Audi, Skoda, SEAT and VW . You might be thinking of the haldex regimes, which can be time or distance based, model/variant dependent

Based on that variant; If it's the 6 speed auto, then it's 40k. If it's the 7 speed auto, then it's 80k

Yes, so the sealed engines for the Mk3 superb are these variants: 1.4 TSI 7 Speed Automatic DSG CZEA 150 BHP 1.5 TSI 7 Speed Automatic DSG DADA 150 BHP 1.6 TDI CR 7 Speed Automatic DSG DCXA 120 BHP 1.5 TSI 7 Speed Automatic DSG DPCA 150 BHP

DSG can be sealed for life (no service), 38k or 80k for the skoda superb MK III, depending on the engine variant you have. Assuming it requires a service and is not sealed for life, it's 38k, unless it's one of these newer engines which is an 80k service. 80k service required on the following: 2.0 TDI CR 7 Speed Automatic DSG DFGA 150 BHP 2.0 TDI CR 7 Speed Automatic DSG DFHA 190 BHP 2.0 T FSI 7 Speed Automatic DSG DNUA 272 BHP 2.0 T FSI 7 Speed Automatic DSG DKZA 190 BHP 2.0 TDI CR 7 Speed Automatic DSG DSRB 150 BHP

I'd imagine there is a seperate oil light indicator, which would likely trigger before the service is due? From what i've heard about flexible / variable servicing, the oil light tends to come on early say 15k miles and the dealer will do the service at the same time

On the air con, they’ve just quoted the schedule but it’s pointless to have it carried out so soon so you were right to decline! The brake fluid change schedule is 1st at year 3, then every 2 years. Whilst it probably doesn’t need doing, i’d probably just do it purely because it’s brakes... With all this work though, they’re just following the manufacturers schedule, but I agree they should be checking instead of just going by the schedule

Air conditioning services are ‘recommended’ every 2 years by the manufacturer, so the dealer will simply follow that schedule. Air conditioning does not ever ‘need’ a service, there is no official interval, so just get it done when it stops working. It’s for sure just an upsell opportunity though, there’s no duty of care for it like a Cambelt or DSG oil

Would the VW RNS 310 / 315 units fit a facelift vRS? I'm looking for something very similar to the op, but am also running into the issues where the DAB/Bluetooth options aren't always there, so was considering the VW unit instead of the Skoda one as they all seem to have these features.

How can you trust people when they lie like that haha

Ah right that's interesting. Is there anyway to tell which ones have certain features? Do I need to look at RNS315 and not RNS310 for example? The descriptions from the sellers never really clarifies which features it has and I can't find anything online about it!

Ah nice, so are you upgrading from the Bolero as well? So does the Amundsen+ definitely have built in DAB? I've seen most of the items on ebay have a GPS antenna, but no mention of any DAB extra kit. Let me know how you get on!

Hi all. I'm looking to upgrade my bolero and was wondering if the Amundsen+ would be able to do the following: - sat nav - dab - Bluetooth streaming (from iPhone) - some form of iPhone integration to receive calls I found these on eBay, does this look like what I would need: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-Amundsen-RNS-315-RNS315-E-Navigation-System-Sat-Nav-VW-Seat-Replace-510-/301536991566?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item463501594e Comes with antenna and maps loaded, so I assume I would just need a new fascia?

Op did you ever get this done and find a good company? Found a company in Aylesbury called eclipse which looks good and specialist car tint in houghton regis. I also checked out rtec but they wanted £240 just for the rears!

Mine was fully covered under the extended warranty

When mine went a few months ago, i asked about this and Skoda said it's worth just not 'sprinting' it about for about 1500 miles. I didn't have any turbo, alternator or water pump changes. I just took his advice

Can't tell whether that's serious or sarcastic haha!

How difficult is it to fit maxidot? What equipment do you need for that?

Just renewed today - big thanks to Andy Humphrey for helping me out! Cheers,

It was yes, but wondered whether it was only applied just for the 1st year or whether it's continuous?

Is this offer still valid if my renewal date is early February, but I renew before the end of February?

Do you get a discount for being part of this forum? I'm already signed up with CKI, but was wondering if I mentioned it at my renewal whether it would lower my premium?

Bit of interesting information I just found out from Skoda regarding the 'new part' warranty for a replacement engine. I was told by the dealer that I don't receive a 2 year warranty on the new engine part as it was covered under the warranty. After contacting Skoda head office about this today, I found that because I didn't make any contribution towards the repair, the warranty lies with 'Car Care Plan' (Skoda extended warranty company) who produced the replacement part. I do have a new part 2 year warranty for my new engine, but would have to contact the warranty company should i have any problems with it. For any of you that come across the same problem, make a 1p contribution or something so you get it in writing!

When mine went a few weeks ago, I just assumed I was very unlucky, but we're seeing a new one go nearly every week now! Just ridiculous and SURELY they have enough to get a recall going! Clearly the early timing belts are just not good enough
