Yeah I think mines kerbed from a pothole since I’ve got it already I know what I fancy Just mega bucks

Thanks for the comparison, that's useful to know. It does suggest the bulb is the weak point on the cars with the halogen cluster. If anyone goes down the LED bulb route there, it needs a CANbus-compatible, error-free bulb so you don't get a bulb warning, and it should stay road-legal: white, not dazzlingly bright and aimed down. A reversing camera is a sensible extra on top, as even a good light only shows a short way behind.

Good to hear Skoda UK have nothing open on it, John. Some side-to-side play in the wastegate arm is common, and worn wastegate bushings causing a rattle is a known issue on these, so play alone doesn't condemn the turbo. If your actuator turns out to be electric, check the connector and wiring first. A smoke test and watching boost in live data should help separate the actuator from the turbo. Good luck with it!

Did they say which bushes?

I used compare the market and you have options to list all the things so then you only get quotes from insurance companies that will cover. Mine is with Hastings and just had to take about 10 photos from all angles. I suspect it now means that any tiny cosmetic change will void insurance and require a £20 admin fee to update as they have photographic evidence! I think it probably helps that I’m not a 17 year old liability with a modified car!

2 things to bear in mind: They weigh a ton Whilst they do look natural, they sit beautifully proud of tyres inviting the most exquisite of lovetaps with any and every kerb. My advice, get something that is a little lighter and also that sits flat or dishes in slightly. Also not a fan of diamond-cut given its propensity to give up the ghost so easily.

Not on socials anymore 🫣

I declared my stage 1 Revo ECU remap (+80bhp) to my insurance company a few years ago & have changed insurer since then a couple of times. No increase. Having said that some insurance company's won't touch anything that's modified these days so best to check before diving in only to find out bad news later on.

Have a browse on instagram. Lots of inspiration… for example https://www.instagram.com/superb_vrs3?srtk=dWZic3NjbmVpYTJr https://www.instagram.com/mk3_superb_grey?dlrf=MWxhbHViejR4MWsxMQ== And @Kosin https://www.instagram.com/danny_superb_3v?cplk=YW1ycnRhbjl2dzli

Hi guys so quick update, The oil level is at the correct level it's just below the first slope/line. I will check the wiring on the sensor for and breaks or if there is a connection issue using a multimeter if that seems okay I will get the exact oil level sensor as I have found one with the same part number as the original one which I have confirmed with the vin number . P.s I have pumped up my tyres so that has sort out the tpms light

Problem is. I do car shows with it So also want the most impact to stand out It’s strange driving a standard car 😂

Easiest/cheapest first. Then you don’t feel so bad about spending more money on singular larger mods as you’ve achieved so much already… Make sure you let your insurance know. Just done a renewal and declared everything and had to send photos but no change in premium as nothing is permanence changing.

My 19” vegas are rough Kerbs, clear coat is flaking, worming Debating a few things Upgrading to 20” vegas Refurbing these, but I don’t know what colour to go for, not a fan of the diamond cut lips etc so would prefer a solid colour over it all Or leaving them and buying aftermarket Advice Anyone fitted 20” vegas?

I have a huge list of mods And I truly don’t know where to start first 🥲

Sorry, forgot to close this off. The Skoda dealer in Dundee charged me £80 to diagnose the pump and then £265 to change the pump. It was a warranty job hence the dealership, but the warranty only paid me £9 for the pump as they said they check GSF parts for price!!!!!!!! Anyway a £9 pump was the issue all along. Lesson learned for any future parts.

I’d love to put eibach springs on mine but can’t justify the work to do it. So might buy them to sit in the shed awaiting it needing some suspension work….

Thanks!

UK distributors as follows:

It has standard shocks. The Bilstein B6 24-229890 seems to be the one to go for. I fitted B6's to the rear of my 2010 BMW 330D 4 years ago. They've worked fine on that car.

I have the same problem, stuck in emergency dowload loop. Can you help?
