Is that heavier than others due to 4x4 paraphernalia?

Must be I’ve looked at some other superbs for instance

the 1.8tsi fwd manual is 1608kg 

1629kg with 4x4 

 

and Passat r36 is 1715kg

 

so deffo is the 4x4 big brakes, dsg and the extra two cylinders 

New washer bottle cap in the style of the later Skodas with the built in funnel but found a black one 😁

 

 

 

also took dash apart a little to fit dashcam as I don’t like the wires visible where possible 

 

just required a little hole drilled under climatronic panel that will never been seen to feed wire through 

Started with an audio/headunit upgrade as I wanted CarPlay for Waze and Spotify as I use them pretty much every trip. 
Went with the latest Xtrons android 13 unit, a little non oem for me but it’s a nice looking unit.

Fitted it this afternoon and pre done the wiring for reverse camera add on which will be a great addition. To finish later on.

Only fitted the gps aerial with it as I won’t be using the built in 4g capability.

Wired in a usb to next to cigarette lighter for charging my phone. 
Seems to work great out the box the sound quality is much improved, all steering wheel controls/park sensors/ac etc show up as original. 
 

 

Finally got the reverse camera wired in the XTRONS one didn’t work for some reason, so brought one that has the number plate light in so a lot neater works perfectly straight away 

 

 

Mot passed the other week and just been on a nice 400mile round trip all on one tank of fuel, quite decent for a big car.
