Octavia & Superb Questions

Featured Replies

Hello, first time back on this forum in a few years as we are looking to potentially jump into a new or nearly new Superb or Octavia estate over the next few months. Long story short, we ordered a VRS TSI estate back in 2021 during a major backlogs and ultimately cancelled the order after close to a year of not even having a build date when the factory that supplied the door panels caught fire in favour of a Lexus ES. We're now looking to jump out of the ES due to the increasing difficulties with insurance (high theft rate of Lexus in the UK), the finance coming to a close and a 6 week old baby taking up our entire boot. We're going to look at a couple of curve balls on the side for some compare and contract, but we're pretty much settled on a Skoda head to head (Corolla Tourer 2.0 Hybrid / Pug 308SW / Hyundai i30 Tourer).

Couple of questions about the 2.0TDI and 1.5TSI 150 engines.

Am I right in thinking the TDI will have the wet clutch DSG box and the TSI will have the dry clutch? (Googles AI suggests this but, I know it can be very hit or miss).

On the TDI, is it still the case to expect to use up to 1ltr of oil for roughly every 1000miles? (I remember this being a thing when we last looked). Is it typically alot better in the real world? I'm also assuming the Ad Blue should make it most of the way between service intervals if not all the way before needing a top up?
