    Found this workshop manual that illustrates the problem. Fuel gets pumped from one chamber to the other. Ironically, it describes the exact issue. Given its in the manual, its a shame they didn't...

    Haha, she'd find her way back!

    They've had the Superb for a couple of days. Don't believe its the sensor as they believed. I'm told there are two cells in the fuel tank, and they believe the...

    Scarily, this has happened again while my wife was sitting on 100km/h on a highway (with over a quarter of a tank). Which is just what we've been worried about. :/ Thankfully she was able to stop...

    Try a different servo and get up them if there's a difference (the tricky bit is to get the fuel gauge at the same point, not distance to empty). My experience with is 1-2 litres more than whats...

    I've had vapour lock before and it recovered (different vehicle).

    It still has 10 litres of fuel, which is quite a bit. I'm leaning towards a fuel pump issue inside the tank. The interesting...

    Its amazing how often pre-delivery checks aren't done period. 1/3 of a tank of fuel is ordinary. Some dealers seem to think the delivery is putting a big bow on the car.

    Last year I sold my RS in about 3 weeks and it was $6-7k difference over what dealers offered. DSG/TSI/Blue/Leather/Wagon - popular variant. It was worth the hassle of selling privately, but maybe...

    I reckon the 140 diesel would haul it adequately - its only a tick over 1500kg. Kluger is nearly 500kg heavier (probably a little bigger)!!! (There's a 176 killerwasp VW diesel that would slot in...

    I have strong feelings about not paying delivery fees for these very reasons. The only thing I can possibly think costs them real money is trucking the car somewhere, but that's probably covered by...

    Thanks for the advice. My mother in law is no where near a lead foot. Maybe the car got bored and tried to commit harikari?

    Annoying problem today in our Superb (TSI118).

    My mother in law borrowed the Superb with the trip computer showing 90kms to empty. About 10ks in, car loses power, she pulls over and it won't...

    Jebus that sucks. You'd think the dealers would use the best guys they can find as *they* are the ones that have to deal with the blowback.

    Has been that way since I bought my first one in 2010. If you want a desirable model, take what they have or be prepared to wait.

    Both our Skoda's (2010 VRS and 2015 Superb TSI) averaged around 10% more than manufacturers claims. You could definitely hit manufacturer claims with careful driving and on long trips we often beat...

    I love how quickly people throw their privacy under the bus. Because you can secretly film someone doesn't mean you should - if you'd said "I'm filming in the car, do you mind?" and they agreed it...

    Supply perhaps? My wife loves her Superb, but misses the pazing of the RS. 206 killerwasps would definitely solve that issue. Perhaps I should chip the superb without telling her and see if she...

    Mate, I'll buy it off you for $14k in 3 years. They are ripping you off, sell it privately. IIRC, for my 2010 RS I got nearly 40% of the purchase price after 5 years and 93000km.

    You are just paying for convenience with a dealer, better to find a tinter you are happy with and go direct.
