I pumped 95 from the Cepetco shed in Battaramulla last saturday after getting the fuel pump replaced on my 406, Still running without any issues.

hmm.. I guess I'll keep on searching for an A4 or a passat, if all fails the skoda will still be there.

Will do, judging by the fact not a single skoda owner showed up, i guess the car is pretty rare. Senok did say they brought down only 50 or so skoda's from 2000 to 2008, that lot includes the superb, octavia and some other car.

LoLz.. not exactly clear about the punch line.. So am I to understand that no one in this forum currently owns a skoda superb ?

Skoda.. anyone ?

Pumped 95 octane fuel from the Battaramulla Cepetco shed last Saturday, they had a can filled with fuel on display,it looked ok and smelled ok and so far running okey..

I might be a potential buyer for that car if it checks out to be good. I heard that there are only a hand full of Skoda Superb's in LK.. i welcome the uniqueness, but does anyone have an idea of the spare parts availability ?

Was is a black one near nittambu area ?

Yep i saw that, by the time I contacted the seller the car was sold.

Hi all, I sold my Peugeot 406 a couple on months ago and was on the look out for either a VW passat, Audi A4. Last Saturday I came across a Skoda Superb and it looked... Superb I don't know much about this car exept skoda is owned by VW and it's engine and most stuff is shared with the passat B5. If any one has owned or driven this car please share your experiences.

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but I'll say again just to make sure. When u pump this petrol which is not petrol, some vehicles may die straight away. But some do not. Like mine it will work fine all day no problems what so ever. I did about 40km's after refueling, the problem occurred when I parked for the night and tried to start er up the next morning. I got nothing, not even a cough. Checked the fuel lines and guess what no fuel is coming through, the pump has got clogged up. My guess is.. ahh what the hell, I'm not guessing anything, all I can say is make sure U pump in the good stuff.

What about IOC ? IOC is having a different fuel supply right ?

Any survivors ?

If it's a slim then i can safely say it will work here. My cuz got one down from US and although it says 120v 2A in the back it works without any problem.
