I just bought my first Skoda, yesterday, a 2021 Superb estate with just shore of 52k on the clock. So far so good.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but...

It only came with one service record at 45k (which in itself is a bit odd as it was previously owned by a leasing company, so must have been serviced before 45k?!)

The one record I do have from an authorised Skoda service partners, lists the work as 47U5, 06F5, 06F8. A bit of googling shows the first is in relation to a recall, I think, but I can find nothing in relation to the other two.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA

If you use your VIN in the links on the website below you might find a bi more detail - my guess is that they are software or recall campaigns

Hi welcome.

I will ask a Moderator to move your thread to the Superb Mk3 forum as the owners there might better know any Recall or other codes for your model.

Recall 47U5 relates to a brakes matter.

If you want to see if your car has outstanding Recalls (you'd hope not) you can check on this site. - Škoda Recall Campaigns - https://www.skoda-auto.com/services/recall-campaigns

Very important, potentially save you time hassle and money with unnecessary visits to Dealerships/garages/mechanics/auto-electricians if you read and refer to the car's 'Owner's Manual' (and you could then know more than some long term owners). - VWŠkoda site for free pdf downloads of 'Owner's Manual'. - https://www.skoda-auto.com/apps/manuals/Models

Service records are digital but a Dealership can paper print off "individual record" for individual (what passes for now as a) "service" or "maintenance", "inspection", "Recall", etc.. But you'd be best with a "Complete record" covering all that has been put on the system. This is still not as good or anywhere near as detailed as the paper bills.

You could also contact VWŠkoda UK and get a "Service History Certificate" from personal experience I can tell you these and other digital records can contain errors, even from what's on the "Complete record" and "individual record" how this is possible VWŠkoda UK were unable to establish when asked to investigate and explain. I'm sure you know never to fully trust computers, the car is full of computer bits.

A word of advice is to always keep your 12v battery in a reasonable state of charge, the stop/start not activating when it should is the first sign of low state of charge which the computer system won't like and will make you suffer if you ignore this and don't sufficiently charge the battery with good enough driving or recharge using an appropriate battery charger maintainer following the instructions in the car's 'Owner's Manual' and charger maintainer instructions. I advocate very occasional preventative recharging to full using an appropriate battery charger maintainer (good ones cost as little as £15) unless you don't mind premature (or very premature) (expensive) battery replacement and 'coding' and possible all sorts of unexpected issues with the car, the site has loads of threads on this.

Thanks: very helpful. As an aside, I know that dealership very well: I lived in Northampton for 20 years before I moved to west Wales, 15 years ago.

Thanks skomaz: yes it turns out they were recall campaigns. I phoned the dealer where they were done, and a very friendly and helpful lady there confirmed that, and also confirmed that they had never serviced it.

Actually the error was probably with the fiddling original car owning Dealership in Leicester, who'd have thought it about Leicester.😄

Bedford Rd lot were called Progress then and last we went there called Marshall, probably same owners at the very top of the list of company names. I'm from before VW took over Škoda . . .

... when the Dealerships were back-street friendly and helpful garages, not corporate VW places, they were grateful for your custom, UK Škoda owners at the time will know why too.

I know roughly where you are now but it's on too bigger and busy road really for the 10 years we toured Wales until a few years ago in my one and only daily drive car, a 1973 MG Midget which was excellent for the white roads on our paper printed atlases and even back then the roads your way were getting lower speed limits on them. Less CAMRA GBG real ale pubs out that way too. 😁

I used to be on the armed wing of CAMRA. There is a great pub not far from that dealership on Bedford road called The Malt Shovel Tavern that I frequented very regularly when I lived there. The previous owner, Mike Evans, was a great bloke. I have no knowledge of what it's like since he sold it a few years ago.

At great risk to myself I will engage with more thread drift 😆 - yeap know Mike and the Malt, was in CAMRA from 1979, now greater quantity and lower quality in pubs though Northants has some of the very best micro-brewery beers I've had in my decades of travel (including "The Classic Basic Unspoilt pubs of Great Britain" lists 2001 and going back). Malt was took over by the bloke that has the Merchant's Inn, Rugby group, last time I went in a good few years back the Manager there wasn't much cop.

On-topic, to cool fevered brows - an old "service" and "maintenance schedule" below, the leasing company should have done all that's on this list at least (VWŠkoda "services" and "maintenance schedules are scant enough as it is), whether they did or not is another matter the information could still be added to the digital database, as independents can do (unless they balls-up the entry like PJ Hodge, Far Cotton).

And possibly a slightly newer(?) list of wot yer get.

I have to be honest and say I am far more in to beer than I am cars! Recently I have done something I never thought I would and really got in to craft beers. there is one particular brewery in Dundee called Holy Goat that I order from frequently.

Their beers are horrendously expensive (my favourite of the moment "King Void is £9.50 a can!!! You could easily be forgiven for thinking that is overpriced. But it really isn't. It's a 10.2% imperial stout and quite the most complex beer I have ever tasted. Beautiful!

Craft is just another word for fizzy. I had some 10% Canadian bottled stout one Xmas which was nice in the small quantity I had, imagine how much better it'd have been cask conditioned. But I won't hold this against you, each to their own. 😄 Before I was introduced to real ale I used to drink bottles of Carlsburp Special Brew, not many as I was only a lad so had no money, well I'm frum Nor'umptun we only had Manns and Courage pubs back then. And after 40+ years of brewery visits and tours and a mate owing a micro-brewery I still couldn't tell you the brewing process in any detail. Actually the only ale I've ever noticed three different flavours in was a 5% cask ale from Brewdog! at a CAMRA meeting at the Fox and Hounds (Althorp Coaching Inn) Great Brington, I think it was Punk IPA but it was too many years (decades) ago for me to remember exact details and I only had one as I was the driver that night.

Great Oakley (formerly brewed at the bottom of Mike Evans garden in Great Oakley (village then, now part of Corby)) by Phil Greenway brewer and part owner with Mike, now brewed by Guy is still the best regularly brewed ale in Northants, and possibly anywhere else (you'd go for there Abbey Stout) their ales remain a pint and a half in a pint glass. Best ale if you can get it is Rockingham 5 or 6 barrels brewed less regularly, only to certain pubs and beer festivals. Evans Evans was a favourite of the four of us when we went to Wales, he was a "character" (as long as you didn't have to deal with him) lovely ale though.

I'll have to stop, the fizzy and car enthusiasts and others will be bored with this real ale stuff, not that your can of King Void is of course, 😁 all the best, read the manual keep the battery from getting too low for the computers and you might be good for a while, cheers (glass of Adam's ale or Pitsford's).

Cheers to you too! Phil Greenway, didn't he have something to do with Frog Island?

Natterjack was a lovely beer, very bitter and hoppy if I remember correctly.

Ok, cars only!

No Phil and Mike set up Gt Oakley about the same time my mate and his business partner set up Potbelly. Frog Island kept very low key with Graham and Bruce, until they sold the brewery on. Phil moved the Great Oakley brewery to Tiffield and then later Guy took it over.

Only Guy was interested in cars (not VWs).
