  1. Thanks peter_k & RickTT I did image searches for parking sensor location on Superb3 but didn't find any. I think it was because I was expecting to see them on the bumper itself. Your advice has saved me from making a costly mistake. The OEM location does put the sensors lower than the minimum recommended 400mm (~385mmm) but this valence is angled slightly upward so that should overcome any false reading from the ground. I think starfighter is correct about access to the loom grommets if I remove the rear tray but connection to the loom looks tough. Since I still have 23 months guarantee, I'm nervous about making permanent changes to the wiring. (does this affect the guarantee?) I don't like scotchlock connectors for my feed (as above) instead I'd preferr to use wago connectors (below) but this will involve cutting a cable in the harness.
  2. Hi, Just saying a warm hello to all. I bought a 2016 Superb S Estate 1.6 TDi a couple of weeks ago now and I'm really enjoying it. The electric handbrake took a couple of minutes to get used to but I love it now. As the title of the topic states, this is my third Skoda, I'll probaly stick with them too. My previous car was a 2007 Superb 1.9TDi Comfort. Happy motoring in this one. My only problem with it was ingress of water resulting from that stupid grommet below the battery becoming blocked. The foot wells flooded and I had to pay for a new computer and wiring repairs. I believe this design error is common to Audi & VW also. My first car was an Octavia 1.9 TDi. I had water ingress issues with that on the door computer which I solved with WD40 Steve
  3. I want to fit rear parking sensors to me recently purchased Superb S 1.6 TDi estate. I really don't want to drill my bumper to find I hit steelwork so I'd prefer to remove the bumper to get a better look. I've removed 3 off torx screw from each rear wheel arch and all bumper fixing torx screws from underneath. The bumper is still fast. I went on to remove the rear quarterlights but didn't find bumper fixing screws there. Any ideas?
