Hi. I'm looking at purchasing 04/05 Skoda Superb Elegance 2.5 TDI V6. I really like it as I've seen it in a local garage. I don't know much about cars, especially Skodas. I've read mixed views about this engine and car etc. I'm so confused. It's got full service history, I believe and an Auto gearbox. It's done 115k miles. A mechanic mentioned if the double cam let had been done. I don't have a clue what that is and the guy from the garage doesn't know if it's been done as there's no receipts. Also, it's had some electric issues that has led to it losing power. The garage is repairing that as apparently it's not a major issue.

Please advise me this vehicle. Should I go for it or not? Are they good cars/engines? If I do, then what should I make sure of or watch out for?

Thanks

I was just about to post a similar question although mine is an 04 Superb 1.9 Comfort. I am fortunate in that my brother in law is a mechanic so will check it before I buy. Do you have anyone to help. I am hoping to get a couple of years out of it but that means it will be the equivalent of an 02 reg at the end. I just worry it's too old. Going to view in a couple of hours...

Also look at the Briskoda Superb I buying advice forum. Right near the end is an awesome check list.
