Afternoon all,

 

So excited. Put the deposit down on my new to me car today and pick it up Friday!!!,

 

Ive been a member before as I used to have a mk2 Superb.

I have always looked on the site to see what’s going on but I’m pleased to say on Friday I pick up a my2015.5 ‘65Reg Superb Combi SE L Executive 2.0 tdi 190 .

Its a high miler at 100k but it will have 12months mot and new cam belt kit and water pump done before collection. 
 

Look forward to sharing my journey with you.

Welcome to the thinking man's Passat

Cheers Digifish

 

Seems a lot quieter on here than it used to be. 

 

 

Welcome!  My (about to be replaced) company car is a high miler at 127k (as of yesterday) but just keeps going so I trust yours will be the same.  Fantastic car, haven't regretted choosing it for a moment.

Can I ask? Are these Superb AdBlue?

Should be introduced in 2015 on the Mk3 Superb. Push the fuel flap and when it opens you should see the blue adblue cap next to the diesel cap.

Ah I didn’t realise. Do they use a lot? Had a 2018 Merc Vito at work but not long enough to calculate.

Never had a recent diesel but I would guess at about 1 litre per 1,000 miles (complete guess remember).

Hi @beerok and welcome (back). The 190 TDI is a peach. Great mid-range grunt and brilliant fuel economy. I think you will love it. I've only done 35k in mine, but I have no doubt it will keep going comfortably to 200k if maintained properly. There is a reason they are used as taxis!

 

Shy is right about where the Adblue filler cap is, but a bit optimistic on usage. I haven't calculated anything scientific, but when you get the 1,500 mile fill-up warning, putting 10 litres in gives a range of c9,000 miles. So about 750 miles per litre. Everything is shown in the infotainment screen, including miles remaining to fill-up. Adblue costs pennies so won't add significantly to running costs. I buy a 10-litre tin from Halfords for about £12 - others fill up using garage forecourt pumps, which is even cheaper. 

 

Get some pictures up once you have it, and enjoy the new motor. 👍

Thanks @BriskodaJeff I will get pictures up. Honestly cannot wait! Cheers for the info on Adblue. 👍

Regarding Adblue I presume it depends on the engine as to if its needed - the 1.6TDi in my 65 plate doesn't have a requirement for Adblue, presumably its only the larger capacity engines?

The early 150's are not Adblue only the 190's. Mine's a June 2016 registered car and doesn't have it. I think they changed mid-late 2017 on the 150's.
