Looking at above posts, a question popped up in my mind. Is it possible to put an amplifier and sub-woofer in Sportsline? While I don't find the music system lacking in any sense but a better music system hasn't killed anyone.

Should not be an issue at all. Check the ICE section and fix either a wheel well mounted one like in the Kodiaq (https://www.amazon.in/JBL-BassPro-Sp...7PSQ693G&psc=1) or go for a side-mounted ones.

During last service, I finally got the Skoda mandated 60Ah OEM Exide replaced with a 72Ah Varta battery at PPS Skoda for my MY18 Superb. They had to also change the enclosure -somehow, this enclosure is open at the top unlike the neatly closed one before (with a closing lid).
Wanted to check on the forum from tbhpians with Superbs having 72Ah battery, does it also have such an open lid enclosure ? Seems unlike VAG, especially in our dusty environs in India ...

Regular car paint, bud. Got it blackened in a paint booth.

Would love to debadge the car, but my brother's tastes are the opposite of mine. He loves the big chrome S K O D A lettering at the rear. Another area of difference = even on an expressway or an empty mountain road, he will drive at 2,000 rpm. I'll be the only driver taking his car to 7000 rpm!

Believe it or not, he has no problem with the 80 kmph speed warning! Says its a good reminder to keep it slow. His girlfriend pushed him to increase his highway cruising speed from 80 to 100 kmph .

Nope. No rattles yet. I'm half expecting the sunroof to start rattling at the 20,000 km mark, going by BHPian posts.

Even so, rattles have never bothered me in any car. My daily driver for a decade was an old Jeep, so I got kind of oblivious to squeaks & rattles.

Interesting.. I too am planning to blacken the roof, but was thinking of a 3M wrap job over paint. Any reason you chose to paint over wrap, GTO?

I have the exact same Varta battery as stock, and the cover without the top portion. So I think you got the "right" part.

Thanks for confirming, so PPS Skoda were not giving me a story - plus point to them.
For regular service, I find Skoda's charges quite reasonable. I never ask for special cleaning or any wheel/tyre balancing/alignment at the car dealer.
So, here are the service costs in reverse order:
* 3rd service costed Rs. 15,100/-
* 2nd service costed Rs. 17,411/-
* 1st service costed Rs. 9,448/-

I took the 5-6th year extended warranty for the Superb - parts are expensive for Euro cars as we all know (touch wood). That came to Rs. 77,880 including 18%GST.

Do note that the extended warranty can be taken upto 1410 days of purchase (which is somewhat more than 3 years and 10 months). So, don't wait till the 47th month if you wish to take this coverage.

I've done about 1200 kms now. Has been thoroughly enjoyable. Opted for the maintenance package as well. The car is massive and unfit for narrow and high density roads. No choice but to buy a small car now for errands

There's so much electronics and stuff to learn. So here's more questions to the experts.

• Car is exactly 13 days old today. The service tab in the infotainment system says service is due in 304 days, whereas the Myskoda app says due in 4 months. It should ideally become due near 15k kms or 365 days. Can I ignore 304 days and 4 months ? Or does it indicate manipulation of some kind ?
• How does the TPMS work - after loss of how many PSI will it issue a warning ?
• Where is the setting to stop automatic engine on/off ? If fuel efficiency isn't a concern, is it safe to opt out ?
• Infotainment system:
  - The moment I switch it on, audio from the USB comes on automatically ? How do I stop this ?
  - Audio from Amazon music/YT music play well when you select source as BT, but, not when you are on Hotstar etc. How to make this happen ?
  - Is there a button, on the steering, to mute yourself when you're on a call ?

Thank you in advance.

I haven't checked the infotainment system, but the MyApp gives the date exactly 1 year from my delivery date. Might want to get that checked in their systems.

To the right of your gear selector, there are few buttons. The last one is the one that allows you to disable automatic On/Off.

Congrats on your Superb. Extended warranty and maintenance packs are must. 1200 kms in 13 days, that's a good drive. At this rate, maybe you will actually use the warranty kms of 100k / 150k. All the best for the many thousand miles.

On the MYSKODA app, its based on VIN date. Infotainment syst will show based on dealer reset. You can send the MYSKODA screenshot to the dealer to get that corrected.

TPMS flashes at about 4 psi lower than the set pressure. As this is not an active setup, about 10% drop in pressure gets the alert triggered, I believe that's the tolerance built in in rev check.

Hey man,

I chose paint because it's more permanent + its the same paint shop that did the black roof on my 5-Series. On no car of mine have I put the 3M wrap (even Civic was painted), so that option didn't cross my mind.

Nice! Both our cars are at 1200 km, although I'm fairly sure you're going to overtake me soon .

Am looking forward to an upcoming Mahabaleshwar trip with both my luxo-sedans.

Thats great! I wonder if this would affect the extended warranty. Knowing Skoda, I wouldn't be surprised if it will.

Folks, looking for suggestions for car cover for Superb MY2020. The one provided with the car is a bit flimsy and dust seeps through it when it rains.

Being in Mumbai, cover should be able to handle the heavy rains and winds. Have observed that the loose ones easily tend to come out with wind, even when using the strap/buckle.

With 2021 update in superb, skoda is no longer offering magnetic torch. I think it was a small but very useful thing provided by Skoda.
