I currently own a 2006 Octavia II 2.0tdi with dsg in L&K trim level, and am considering a move to a 1.9tdi auto Superb 2006+ in the elegance trim level. I have been looking for a while and the elegance spec on the Superb is better than my L&K spec Octavia. I would also like the Superb in 100 edition spec. Has anyone any advice for me regarding the Superb. Thanx:thumbup:

Hi. A scroll down the list of the last few dozen threads should put you right, covering most things to look for. There was a similar question very recently. Main point I would say is, unless you've got to have one, don't get an auto. cheers

Why whats wrong with the auto?

it's tiptronic, not dsg, and sslowww

But nothing mechanicaly wrong with them tho?

Theres nothing wrong with the Auto. I have had one for two years and LOVE IT. I would not even consider an manual version.

I have to agree and disagree, I can leave manual cars at the lights, but the dsg is better, but it's certainly not slow, mines a 1.9 btw and I'd recommend that is the engine you choose if you need an auto purely down to economics, if it helps the OP I cab and mine averages 30mpg on a mainly urban cycle but this goes up to 43-47 when cruising at 70mph, iirc I saw one of the last 1.9TDi's in automatic for about 8k on autotrader finished in silver on an 06 plate.

Walk away from anything that has wet carpets on the n/s, then get the pollen filter sealed up properly and take the rubber grommets out that are under the battery and servo.

Cheers thanx all 4 ur advice.

Let us know how it goes
