I do feel your anguish ! It’s worth persisting with telling them you want a complete software update mine did take a long time but is working perfectly now and was well worth waiting for. I realy don’t know if anything was replaced or was just software but with more cars they see hopefully gaining experience with the faults it will mean repairing them will become quicker . I wish you the very best of luck .

I received my phev superb 2 weeks ago and I can't add a driver and MyŠkoda app doesn't work since I can't update the car's status. I'm on 2565 software version, what's your version guys?

Will skoda fix this with a software update?

Cheers

This is my current software update it was the latest as at mid November for my superb 2.0tdi SE L Wagon. The dealership had updated before pick up as the screen showed updates were available.

Hope this is helpful

It is, thank you very much!

September 2024 Superb 4X4 TDI 193hp L&K trim 11k miles

It is a great car and pleasure to drive all issues below I consider minor annoyances and I would not change the car because of those.

So far the following issues:

1. On cold morning due to frozen window front, lane assist and front emergency braking asist takes about 5-10 min to come online. Spoken to Skoda directly and there is no fix for this. It is the same issue in my friends Mercedes so it is a weakness in any car you buy. This fail resets automatic long beam lights so one needs to start them again.

2. Fuel consumption is at best 47mpg UK. Thus being 4x4 may be expected. Still far cry from old EUro 6 TDI at 55mpg

3. There is rattling noise from passenger door speaker...it is only if you play the music very loud and dealer will replace speaker and insulation in the door next month.

4. Mirror slide down on reverse works only sometimes. No cure for that currently.

5. Seat memory position does not work every time. So sometimes you need to press memory button to get to the right position.

6. Emergency stop assist is too sensitive and alerts in some non treating situations. There is no cure for that, car went trough additional calibration in the dealer as an attempt to fix.

1. Yes, it's an annoyance in damp, frosty or dewy conditions - whatever sensors are getting fogged up take a few minutes to clear. I guess there's no way around it.

2. I guess fuel consumption is dependent on the type of driving you're doing, and your style of driving. I have the same car as you - on short urban journeys I'm averaging an MPG in the low 40s ; on longer motorway runs I can get close to 60mpg averaged across the journey.

3. There are a couple of very minor, but still audible (if only barely) squeaks and rattles. I think it might be mainly due to very slight movement of the doors, and the rubber door seals rubbing against the bodywork. Applying LiquiMoly rubber care to the seals helped a bit.

6. In 8 months of owning the car, I've only had two instances of the emergency brake assist cutting in when it shouldn't have done. Fortunately, both occasions were when I was parking the car, and not when pulling away from a junction or roundabout (I believe this has happened to other people).

I have had issues with freezing handbrake multiple times now. Twice it has been so frozen that I had to press gas pedal quite significantly before the handbrake released and the car would move. I could even smell the clutch burning a bit afterwards. It is not that the mechanism would not work but rather so that the pads are seized against the discs.

@Joel- Does your car have a 'Hand Brake' /Manual Parking brake' & not an e-Brake /finger brake / Parking Brake? Plenty with a DSG will use P, and then maybe leave the car with the e-Brake / Parking brake off, and chock wheels. As some will do with a Manual with a Hand Brake. Back to the futures and as we were doing for decades now. because pads and discs or Shoes & Discs can freeze together.

Not exactly sure what You mean, but the car has this fingerbutton which operates the hand/parkingbrake electronically. As far as I am aware, all the Superbs are equipped with this specific solution. I always use parkingbrake to prevent stressing the "P" position of the gearbox alone, because the car is sitting most of the times on a declining parking spot.

Yes Parking Brake on is required to not cause failure with the Pawl in the DSG when in Park. But that has never stopped people from then releasing the parking brake and chocking the wheels. Or better still chocking then Parking Brake off. / e-Brake.. Well in the maybe not so cold Scotland but damp and freezing and because of this something not uncommon to do.

Yeah, over here we have had at least below -10 degrees Celsius for the past couple of weeks and temperatures have dropped to even -28 degrees Celsius few times. Brake seizing is connected to these conditions obviously. For the sake of curiosity, I asked my collegue who also has MY25 Superb that does his car suffer from freezing brakes and tve answer was no, not even once.
