Thanks for that info, didn't know it was that easy to turn a 4motion into a 2motion
Thinking about it a bit longer,any pollution test is on the engine not the driveline, so a 2WD would be used unless testing individual vehicles.
Just wondering about the testing process. Would a "4 Motion" drive line need a 4 roller testing dyno? If so the rear wheels turning would not bring the cheat into play.
For your stop/start city driving the petrol version is probably the better bet. You are still going to get good mileage on your yearly trip.
Well the class action deadline has passed and we didn't sign up. Went on the MB web site to sign up, filled in all the imformation, got to the page with the aggreement/contract After wading though it...
Received an e-mail from Skoda Aus. stating that our '14 125kw Superb 4x4 is fitted with the EA189 engine and has the offending software. No surprise, will have to wait till the smoke clears.
Don't baby it to much, that can sometimes be worse than thrashing it, just drive it.

The main difference between the standard Superb and the Outdoor is the 4x4 system which would be the reason it felt different.
Thanks, yes I have been using the Chemtec diesel treatment and thought I'd investigate the 2 stroke option before buying the next bottle.

Our everyday ride is a 125kw Skoda Superb, but one of our other vehicles is an 05 F350 7.3 which is used for towing duties. Quite often it sits for 2/3 weeks at a time and I was concerned that the...
Is there any evidence that 2so/diesel seperates out like normal 2so/petrol does when left standing for a few weeks.
thanks
Both front seats on our wagon move but I think it might be us knocking the lever as we get in and out.

The 100kg ball weight probably relates to the light hook style tow bars they use in europe. Our square tube bars are far more substanial.

Hi Pete, old thread so not sure if you are still after a Crafter engine, there is one on E-bay at the moment. 2008 model in Sydney, just search "vw crafter" should bring it up.

cheers Pete
Latest 4x4 Aust. mag has a comparo test with the Rok against the Nissan 550 and Triton. Guess which one came out on top?:banana:
