Hi, not long had the Superb but liking it so far. A couple of things though,

 

1. Bluetooth. Should it / Does it have this? It's the Elegance Edition 100 but I can't find anything in the manual about it. 2006 car as well and many cars did have bluetooth by this time.

 

If not, is there a part from another (newer) Skoda or VW which gives factory levels of integration? I don't really want a Parrot kit if it can be avoided.

 

2. Condensation. I've checked the water leak threads and my carpets aren't wet etc. But even with the climate on AUTO the car really steams up on these damp mornings. This can't be normal surely? Is ther anything I need to check besides the water ingress point under the bonnet?

 

Thanks in advance

You need to check categorically that the bungs have been removed under the battery tray and under the brake servo (push this one clear, as a pipe runs through it). Then check that the pollen filter holder outer seal (not the inner foam seal you can see) has been replaced with mastic strip as per VAG TSB.

 

Unless you do these checks carefully yourself, your car will be an electrical nightmare - once wet, it will never be reliable. Dealers, in my experience cannot be trusted with this work - there's nothing in it for them. A good independent will have seen this problem loads of times...

 

Taste your condensation and check there's no glycol in it - otherwise you have a failed heater matrix - big job.

 

No input on bluetooth - I like peace when at the wheel.

No bluetooth. 

I looked into this; there was once upon a time an integrated (steering wheel + MFD) phone solution - based on hardwired Nokia handset in cradle.  For mercedes cars with such kits there is a bluetooth adapter (it looks like an old-school Nokia phone, which you fit to the cradle, and then your phone bluetooths to the adapter).  But there are lots of pieces to find - the nokia cradle, the phone controller unit, steering wheel control for the phone button, etc... probably too difficult and the result won't be great (older car kits sound quality is pretty poor).

 

I have a Parrot Neo visor kit and it works very well - I get almost a week out of the battery and the call quality is better than the integrated bluetooth in my father's 2013 Golf, plus voice recognition that actually works for calling.  I would go for that I think personally.

check door seals for leaks

Wow!! Thanks Chaps. That's all really helpful thanks. I'll drop the integrated bluetooth idea then and see what else I can find. Sadly although I would love peace & quiet on the road I am commuting 4 hours a day now so I need to get stuff done while on the road.

 

That's actually why I bought the car, to use as a commuting car. I kept my Land Rover as well but this one has really surprised me with comfort levels and general refinement. Not at all bad for a 2 grand motor.
