Thought the plate was familiar unless you're doing some form of engine swap [emoji23]

What's the mpg like on the petrol? I've always been a bit disappointed with the diesel, average around 40 with little motorway miles. It's a big heavy car though I guess.
Ours is the same colour and L&K model, so has most the toys in it. They're a lot of car for the money.
The v6 will sound nice and towing won't cause any issues either no doubt! When's the engine and dsg remap coming? [emoji6]

Obviously not used it ourselves to see what mpg we'll get but Jamie and I took the trailer down to Stoke to pick up the track car after it had some work done. 200 mile round trip averaged about 26mpg @ 60mph 90% motorway which I thought was actually very good. Remap on engine and dsg had been done by a previous owner but we have no paperwork to prove this. It does have some grunt though even with a trailer and car on it does accelerate very well. Jamie drove it down to France 800 miles and it averaged mid to high 30,s this was with no trailer.

That's a lot better than I imagined actually. I think on a run ours would manage 50+ given half a chance on a decent run. But it's not too bad, round town etc seems to rinse through the fuel. Sometimes we get 400 to a tank, others nearer 600. I didn't think it would vary quite so much!

I don't think we will see much more than 250/300 to a tank. So fuel costs will only be slightly higher than the civic. Car tax on the other hand is more expensive being in the top bracket but too offset that insurance is a third less then the civic. Never really run a car with numbers in mind though, like it, buy it, run it. It is a rare car though not many were sold. 80 ish I think saloon/estate.

So this is essentially a Passat R36? Have to be honest that I'm not surprised that there is a Skoda variant, but I have never actually seen one on the road.
I did toy with the idea of a R36 estate to replace the Volvo, but there weren't many about. And being a fairly old model now I doubt the ones that I could have found would have been in a good condition.

Basically yes Karl although slightly detuned at 260bhp. It is a rare car the 3.6 only about 80 sold.

Bhp Cars are importing lots of R36s at the moment :)

So a reflash will take the power up to where it's supposed to be then?
I follow them on FB and have noticed this, which is what drove the desire somewhat. But the fact that they're ten plus years old and that I've never imported a car before gave me butterflies and I wimped out. :lol:

Up to 280 I believe. Always hard to give numbers without a dyno run. Maybe something I'll do in the future.So a reflash will take the power up to where it's supposed to be then?

You could look at the Superb 280 but they're a bit too new to fall into the same budget.
