Thinking about replacing smaller Scout for the bigger one's

Featured Replies

Hey Guys,

 

I'm thinking about replacing my O3 Pre-FL Scout with Superb FL Scout. The dealer gave me a good loan offer for it due to the clearance of Superb 3 model(Superb 4 is coming).

 

My O3 is perfect on 100k miles(160k km) and I'm sure I'll be very happy with the Superb as well. I wanted 280TSI engine but there wasn't such option as only 3 Superbs were left for ordering.. So will continue the TDI saga :)(200TDI).

I've never dealt with AdBlue, but looking in YT, it's not that hard to refill it without dealer's help. Should I use the OEM AdBlue or it doesn't really matter?

 

It will also have Virtual Cockpit, ACC, alcantara seats, Virtual pedal and some others I don't count as important :D

 

I already have few accessories on my wishlist :D 

* Front and rear rubber mats

* Rubber boot mat

* Phone/Tablet holders for backseats, for the kids

* Anything else?

 

Most likely I'll pick it in January, so I'll need winter tires. I was thinking about all-season tires, but assuming I'll go on skiing, better having a set of winter rims and tires as well.

 

So yeah, count it as introduction of myself :) 

 

I've always filled up AdBlue myself using brands such as Redex that I can buy locally, making sure it meets the specification in the handbook and I've never had a problem with it.

 

I've gone for all season tyres, but my circumstances are different to yours.  I don't go skiing and in Wales there's rarely much snow on the road and most of the time it's cool and damp, even in the summer, which is ideal for these tyres.  Also, being retired means that if the weather is bad, I don't go out in the car until it's cleared.

 

The only extra I've added are mudflaps all round to try and protect the sides of the car.

@Penpusher Mudflaps are actually a great idea! I'll try to find a installation guide and most likely retrofit those on the Scout as well. Aren't they noisy, or being that low on the car and behind the tires doesn't make any difference?

I've never noticed any noise from the mudflaps, though I haven't driven at very high speeds which I assume would create more noise.  Even on unlimited sections of German autobahn, I've never gone above 80 mph (about 130 kph).
