Hello,

 

I am currently without a car as my lease Skoda Superb TDI has gone for auction and my new Superb Estate L&K IV is at the dealership awaiting paperwork, so not long now to re-join the fold.

 

As a company car driver, you could argue I have less investment in the brand but it is the only time I have ever stayed with the same model, so that must say something.  Will post some pictures when I finally get the new motor.

Hello John 👋

Hi,

 

Make sure you get the new manual, there is a recall to replace the one from 2019 as it is incorrect

Thanks for the heads-up on the manual and hellos.  I will check on the manual as the car was built in March just before the factory closed.  I would look on here if I was stuck! 

 

How are you enjoying your iV JJC?  I had a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV before my first Superb and it was interesting, with 5 levels of brake retardation to play with.  It also had a CVT gearbox which was not good when you ran out of charge!  I am hoping the DSG box answers that issue.

Hi,

 

really happy as I have solar at home so can charge up from that and also there are two charge points at work (do have to fight two Leafs to get them) which means that most of the time I can have free motoring. You can also charge for free at most Tescos. As mentioned the manual provided with the vehicle does not match the how things work. As I have the L&K with the traffic sign camera the ACC becomes much smarter and the car can nearly drive itself 🙂 I would love the "B"  mode regenerative breaking to stay on rather than having to select it at each start but I suspect at some point someone may find a way to program it. Would like 7Kw charging in place of the 3.6Kw limit but these are just niggles overall I am very happy.  The DSG works great and if you are running in "hybrid" mode without looking at the display you would be pushed to know if you are on ICE or electric.
