I have just got back from picking up my car. I have driven it for 6 hours today and found it to be a very nice place to be.
Had a couple of issues with it but all sorted now. Could not get the blue tooth to work with my blackberry curve for a bit. But when i told the phone to listen the car came up with a 16 digit code which it typed into the phone and now it works fine. The over problem was the radio packed up so I had to take it back. They fixed it very quickly but still don't no what went wrong with it.

The engine seems to pull from very low revs and the gear box changes up very early but as only has 350 miles on it still not pushed it. The ride is firm but no crashy. The stereo is much better than the one fitted to the z4. Still have not worked out how to stream audio with it yet.

The car also seems to want to be on yearly servicing and i cant work how to change it to long life as it will be doing allot of motorway work. Seems a bit cheeky of skoda to default the cars to 10k services.

I don't believe audio streaming is supported on the factory Bluetooth kit

My vRS came with variable servicing, so it must be a dealer thing as to how they get set...

Anyway, enjoy (I'm sure you will)

I had the exact same problem with the bluetooth last week when i picked mine up! the manual is shoite!

i panicked thinking it wouldnt be compatible!

i have the same as you diesel VRS DSG and im still smiling after a week and 700 miles of driving! hope i can keep it up for 3 years!

My smile was blunted by being told different thing which all turned out to incorrect about the fact they put my car on fixed servicing. First it cant be change until service, then it has the wrong oil in it for variable service, then finally bring it in its only 5 minutes to change it on the computer.

Seems a bit of a con to default peoples cars to a more expensive service plan without offering telling them.

Still loving the car tho.

The vRS definitely comes with the long life oil, and as you say it is a quick job to set it to variable servicing. In fact this is the default, so the dealer must have changed it.

Mine is the other way round. I was 'given' a three year fixed servicing plan, but the dealer left the car set to variable. Said they would change it at the first service. My use is 10,000 miles a year so bob on for fixed.

Hi, I have just picked up a Superb and have a Blackberry Pearl, could someone help me witht the set up / pairing via blutooth?

[firestormwest]

Mine was set to fixed servicing even though i ordered specifically for variable...... they changed it on the spot as i noticed before driving off.

I believe all new Vrs come with long life oil

If it works the same as my curve 8900 in my octavia I had to tell the car to search and tell the phone to lissen. If I did not tell the phone to lissen it found the phone but said it was not compatable. When the phone was in lissen mode it found it and gave me a 16 digit pairing code to type into the phone and all works now. I even get my text messages it the screen in the midle.

Hi Thanks for that. I don't know how to set my blackberry Pearl to 'listen' ?
I've got to the stage of my phone asking me to enter the 16 digit code number but I don't know the number and the car doesn't give it to me.

I called Skoda and they were very unhelpful...muttering on about it being not on the list!

I need some help here!
