As I know you will agree the ZF6HP and ZF8HP that the RangeRover uses certainly should be serviced. It's a conventional auto using it's fluid to transmit power in the torque convertor and picking up debris from wear of the clutches and brake bands. And it's easy to build an argument, while JLR and BMW say no schedule the manufacturers ZF do advise servicing. But a very different animal from a DQ200.

None of my DQ200 failures were oil related. The DQ200 has two different oils. The first for gears is basically the same as a manual gearbox. The second for controlling hydraulic functions. Which are you thinking cause the failure modes of the DQ200? Changing the gearoil replaces the oil lubricating the gears. I've not seen any DQ200 failures due to excessive gear or geartrain wear. It's usually clutch packs or mechatronics.

I've lost count 😄 Lets try 2008 Golf 1.6TDi DQ200, No issues. 2010 VW Passat 2.0TDi DQ250 Sold to Family member, now 15 years old and 160k miles, no issues. 2011 Fabia 1.2TSi DQ200, Clutch slip in third year of ownership. Clutch packs replaced under warranty. 2014 Audi S5, DL501, no issue 2014 Octavia 1.6TDi DQ200, Clutch Slip, judder and error codes year 4. Clutch pack, mechatronic and two gear levers replaced. 2016 Yeti 1.2 TSi DQ200, Clutch Slip in year 2, clutch pack replaced. 2016 Yeti 1.2TSi DQ200, Clutch Slip in year 2, handed back with issue to lease company. 2017 Yeti 2.0TDi DQ250, No issues over 6 years. 2017 Fabia 1.0TSi DQ200 DSG, still got this one. Just started to throw error codes and has had microswitches replaced in gear lever. 2023 Karoq 1.5TSi DQ200, only kept in 10 months, no issues. 2024 Superb 2.0TSi DQ381, no issues so far but only 6k miles and 1 year old. So I've not had a single issue with any wet clutch box although fingers crossed on the DQ381 going forward. My record with DQ200's is mixed to say the least.

Ford have wet and dry clutch versions but the design differs significantly from the VAG boxes.

I recently had Hastings ask for 11 different photos of my car and my insurance was placed under "Investigation" They immediately questioned the wheels as the car should have had Propus wheels but has Vega Aero option. I had to provide the factory build sheet to prove the car left the factory with the Vega Aero alloys. A quick google seems to suggest this is becoming more common. Car insurance companies seem to be more strict on checking in recent years. Even if painting wheels I'd inform the insurance.

I think you mis-took what I posted. Salford Skoda said he didn't have a rail down the right hand side. My post was you only get a rail down the right with varioflex. ie. Standard seats, rail on left only. Vatio Seats, rail on left AND right.

You only get a rail down the right hand side if you have vario flex seats.

I've had the Police ask for footage at my own property and at a rental I have. For both they have not asked for a complete data dump. They have been happy for me to look through the footage and clip anything I think relevant.

Over the years I've had a few systems, of course Swann, a couple of the generic IP systems sold on Amazon and a NAS based Synology system. Last year I installed a Reolink NVR and now have eight cameras of different styles around the property. The trackmix and duo cameras I'm really impressed with. I went for Reolink after watching Paul Hibert Tech reviews on youtube. The entire system has been 100% reliable and I'm more than happy with the system, web interface, app and the notifications. I don't have security on/off lights but have seven LED floods on dusk to dawn to keep the property permanently illuminated. Reolink apparently do some great colour nightvision cameras but I don't need them. Track mix at night.

2022 Sportline would not have had a Heated front screen as standard. If you have heated front screen you will have button circled in red above MENU.

The Karoq and Superb use different technologies for heated screen.

Worth noting that's the Sportline Edition. I don't think the earlier Sportline had DCC.

The facelift SEL lost the full LED AFS headlights and just got the LED reflector headlights and halogen fogs. The Sportline got Full Matrix LED. Varioflex rear seating was dropped from the 2024 SEL, the 2023 SEL had them.

The warnings are correct but I've not had an issue with front assist. I usually have a nose weight of around 85-90kg

Looks like Skoda have removed Driving Score from the App and have removed reference to it on the web site.

2024 Superb and Driving Score has been removed from my app as well.

Another 12 months and I may get to 12345 😄

I thought having towbar prep removed the need for coding? Just plug in the electric kit and go? That was supposedly the reason Skoda UK made it factory fit on MY24 cars where the coding is locked down?

On a run I get 50mpg+ from a DNNA. Gearbox is a DQ381 7 speed wet clutch DSG as fitted to all 2.0 facelift auto's.

Ha, first 12 months. 😄

Yeti is on longer springs as standard.

A bit more than me, I'm on 5600 miles 😄

Yes you can and you can put the car in privacy mode to stop Skoda receiving further data. Unfortunately that then prevents any use of the paid for online services.

I'm no speed merchant. I tend to drive for smoothness and comfort. Try and keep under prosecution level 78 in a 70 etc. Might stray just over in lower speed zones. Here's my score. I'm not happy that Skoda have and store this information.

So any other Superb owners noticed the addition of Driving Score in the My Skoda APP? Skoda tracking all aspects of your driving. Only way to disable at the moment is to turn on privacy mode in the car which disables all online services that we pay for.
