Purchased a 2018 Superb Estate 2.0 TDI 150hp DSG (7 speed)

Featured Replies

Hello, I live in Germany and my family purchased a used 2018 Superb Estate 2.0TDI recently, with 110,000KM / 70,000 Miles on it.

 

It seems up to date on what Germany Skoda/VW states as service intervals. They said the timing belt doesn't need replacement until 210,000km. I purchased the car from a Skoda/VW dealer and they printed out the service history for the car:

Originally sold to first owner in May 2018

Aug 2019 @30k km: Oil change and checked water drainage

July 2020 @60k km: Oil change, "Dust and Pollen filter", checked sunroof, checked water drainage

June 2021 @80k km: "Action 48P3 performed" I've googled and don't know what this is, maybe a service bulletin/recall?

July 2021 @93k km: Diesel fuel filter, air filter, brake fluid service (doesn't mention an oil change but hopefully since it was a the 30k interval)

Nov 2022 @107k km (when we purchased it): Dust and pollen filter, brake fluid service, checked sunroof and water drainage. They also changed the coolant water pump at this time.

 

What would you recommend I do to the car at this point?

I own a VCDS, maybe check soot levels in the DPF or should I pull off anything to check buildup on diesel components etc? It looks like a dry clutch? 7 speed DSG, so nothing I can do as far as maintenance, correct?

 

Thanks

 

Welcome to the forim.  It is not a 7 speed twin dry clutch DSG. DQ200.   It will be a 7 speed Wet.  DQ381 with a oil change service at 80,000 miles or sooner.   EDIT.   Forget HALDEX.   I had the other thread about MPG and a 4x4 in my mind.  Haldex service interval are at 3 years / 30,000 miles.

Personally I’d just enjoy it as everything seems to be done :)

Did they change the cam belt when they changed the water pump?

No, just the pump itself.

Thanks, I'll look into servicing the DSG ASAP.
