Another 272 pickup this week, Sportline with a few options incl DCC and Canton.  Loving it so far!  

 

Looks the business. I specced both DCC and Canton so would be interested in how you find both!

It’s only been a few days so still getting acquainted but I don’t think you will be disappointed.  The DCC is perhaps more subtle than expected but the stock tyres have some part in this I think.  The Canton is great but does need some tweaking, source audio has a big impact, DAB sounds amazing but music through iPhone Music App via CarPlay not as good for example, just need to spend a bit more time on it to get most out of it.

I concur :-) I don't think i'd be happy without them - so well worth speccing.

Good point...I was thinking that an SD card would probably be best way to get good quality music playback, unless there's an easier option?

That seems to be the consensus from other posts I have seen, with FLAC encoding.  I might do this for some choice CDs but inevitably most playback for me will be via a streaming service of some kind.

My 4x4 L&K 190

 

 

[JollySimon]

2017 Superb III Laurin and Klement 190 TDI 4x4 DSG6 (I've seen SCR mentioned, what is that?)

 

I understand that its an ex Škoda Reps car so it has some optional extras: heated/ventilated/massaging seats, SLA, virtual pedal, sunroof, rear camera, spare wheel (not sure what's standard on the L+K).

 

Love the car but it has some annoying omissions namely Traffic Sign Recognition, no blinds in the back and no sim card for WiFi (all minor)

Forgot some extras

SCR means the car uses adblue to keep the emissions down (not a problem in over 50K miles in mine)

 

TSR can be coded with VCDS on the L&K

Cheers bud. Yep, definitely AdBlue which I have no issue having if it helps with particulate matter and emissions. 

 

I was aware TSR could be coded so I downloaded the OBD11 app before forking out for the unit and it wasn't listed - any recommendations on how to approach it and will it impact a warranty claim if I fiddle with stuff? 

 

Thanks

[Gizmo]

I have never used OBD11... just be careful there are loads of horror stories with coding getting messed up (and NOT being easily reversed) so tread with caution! 

 

Yes if you screw the coding up on a controller it wouldn’t be covered under the warranty.

 

If coded correctly then it will be the same as when it left with factory TSR so no issues with the warranty (but you couldn’t claim for a warranty issue with TSR obviously as the car wasn’t ‘built’ (or in reality... coded) with it.

Thanks Gizmo. First on the list are some LED door and boot lights from Superskoda, then some whiter fog lights (LED maybe), then some LED rear indicators and reverse lamp and last is the nice to have TSR. Lol

 

Thanks for all the assistance!

Hi 

Nice car. For what its worth Gizmo coded my TSR. He did a great job. It's working superb. He is a very fine fello too, knows what he is doing. Rather than chance it yourself I d drive over to him .

Thanks for the kind words, and although I have coded a car from Scotland before and many others from around the country, Inverness is rather a long way from Kent!

Blimey I didn't realise jollysimon was in Inverness. Makes my drive from Burnley seen like just down the road. 

Have a Merry Xmas Mr Gizmo.

Next time Gizmo is in Inverness then for sure!

Already posted in the hello section. Proud owner of a 2016 Sportline 280.

 

Fastest car I have owned, also the largest. 

 

Already spanked other boggo cars at the lights that think this is a minicab. Sleeper indeed. (OK, mini spoiler might give it away but only after I get in front...)

Hi folks, new member here

 

Two years ago when I bought my Lexus IS300h F-Sport I thought it was going to suit my needs for .....ooooh an awful long time.

 

Lovely car, but things have indeed changed so here we have my Superb Combi Sportsline Tsi 280 in Black Pearl. 

 

It's a 67 plate with just 6k on the clock. Columbus, heated seats but not many of the other options, but I just love the drive.

 

Original owners colour option choices make it a tad "Gangsta" for a pensioner

 

 

 

 

[KeteCantek]

Lovely colour and the 280 is just the 'right' engine. I had an IS300h for a day as a test drive and I loved it. Problem is its just too small for a family with kids. Quiet, good economy, I don't mind the e-cvt at all. Luxurious interior although the mouse/track pad thing is a bit hard to use. 

 

A pensioner in a sleeper estate, boy racers are in for a surprise. 

[Chazzy]

Another "christmas present from me to me" '66 S-El 280. DCC heated screen, vented seats, its also got led reg plate and puddle lights but no interior lit band?

After a 2.5T 57 Mondeo its a lot more tech and no wheel spin getting into my busy commute roundabout.. Still working on the dsg modes and start stop to avoid the nothing ...whoosh. Loving the colour and comfort. And better fuel economy on the 8 mile commute. So obvioulsy a cost effective option to buy with man maths.

[Adrian55555]

Very nice. Afaik its just the sportline and l&k with the interior ambient lighting strips in dash and doors

That's correct. They look cool and that's it.

Lovely! Love the colour and spec. I'm definitely not biased....

On the basis that there isn't enough conflict right now.

On a serious note,  congratulations.  Great choice.
