Got a full set of none dcc Bilstein B6 shock absorbers for sale, these have done a max of 1000 miles and are like new, they have come of my 2020 superb 272 4x4 estate, they will fit any mk3 platformed superb 272 or 280 superb hatch or estate, taken of due to car being sold and new car on order, still got boxes they came in, cost £800 and would like somewhere around £550, ideally collection so people can see them in person, located in Mansfield Nottinghamshire

Thank you I’ll go to the garage in the morning and have them checked out I did have the alignment done when they were fit not sure about camber toe adjustment is that something different and would my tyre garage do that?

Curious that 2 x 'new here' members both want the details and service history.......? Puts me in mind of the long lost 'barn find' highlighted in a YouTube urban explorer video recently - at least a dozen requests for a lost V5 were made to the DVLA......?

Oh, my bad, I meant to say that I use Waze/Gmaps, we don't even have the native maps app unlocked where I live. Factory reset - yes I've tried it, also worth to mention that my screen was replaced due to the neverending restarts, but it was a while back.

If you have severe wear on inside of rear tyres it could be the bushing gone in rear swing arms or rear control arm bushes or the camber/toe setting is way out. As they are new tyres I would get it checked out and perhaps a rear or four wheel alignment done. If its way out it wont take long to wreck the new tyres. Alasdair

When you say only wanders when using AA, can you not just use google maps through AA? I get it, it's frustrating when the inbuilt nav drifts, mine has lapsed into it on a couple of occasions but has thankfully righted itself quite quickly. May be a silly question but have you tried performing a factory reset on the infotainment unit? Will require you to sign in again as primary user afterwards, but it can help with small bugs like these

Hi, Getting the common GPS drifting issue with my 2022 VRS, I've been told the OCU module is the issue and a dude offered to bypass and pretty much disable the GPS. Is there another trick that can resolve it? disabling android auto permissions didn't work whatsoever. Phone GPS is 100% ok, only drifts when using Android Auto. Unfortunately I'm out of warranty, dealer wants $200 just to test the issue and claims they are not aware of it (though there are talks in FB groups) Would love any help, I'm really lost.

To check the alarm siren on mine if I lock car with fob and wait for a few mins then unlock door with key the alarm goes off if I dont put key in ignition within 20secs aprox. You could also leave window down and lock car then wave about inside car through window. If the hazards are flashing but no siren the battery as said in siren has probably failed. It can also trigger alarm if theres any damage to circuit boards in siren due to leaking batteries. Alasdair

Yes the Superb (and certainly earlier) Octavias seem to be consistent people pleasers in the reliability stakes. Good to have that “small” car atm until the current fuel issues calm down .

You mean this one? 2407.PL - Car Parts Store047103727 VAG - Gasket 047 103 727 - price on 2407.PLGasket VAG 047 103 727 - 21 PLN in online store 2407.pl ✅ Good price ✅ Fast shipping ✅ Hotline 8:00-18:00 It's very cheap, usually is changed after few oil changes and some mechanics (meanwhile) put gasket seal.

Oh No, so i have to move on to 15" wheels and different set of tyres?

Hi everyone, About 3 months ago I replaced the turbo and front crankshaft oil seal. I had to remove the reduction agent(adblue) pipes to get to places. Now I've noticed it leaking very slightly. 2020 2.0tdi manual. DSRA engine. It's where the two pipes join the injector on top of the exhaust. Is it low pressure? I'm pretty sure the pipes are good and being only 6 years old I expect them to be. Please advise....... Remove, clean and refit. Replace the two short Flexi pipes? Many thanks

Thanks for your information I'll give that a go see if it solves the problem thanks Derek 👍

Thanks for the reply. The fuel price is outrageous. We’ve always had a “big car” and a “small car”. Two Volvo V70’s, an XC90, even a Granada Estate back in the day. I like the pulling power of diesel and the reliability of the engines. So we thought, let’s get a 5m long, comfortable car. The Superb was top of the list.

If hazards were flashing with no audible alarm sounding, it's possible that the alarm was triggered by falling battery voltage or something else and the internal alarm unit battery is faulty.

This reddit recent-ish discussion may be of interest The original enquiry relates to a 2023 Fabia Mk4 Monte Carlo (1.0litre motor) with DSG transmission that was making 'clunking' noises. The following advice was provided First thing I would do, is do a DSG reset, there are guides online and need no special knowledge to do. ================================= To reset the DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) on your 2023 Skoda Fabia and clear its adaptive learning memory, perform a manual throttle-kickdown reset: Turn on the ignition (do not start the engine) so all dashboard lights illuminate. Press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor until you feel the "kickdown" button click. Hold it down for 10 to 60 seconds. You may hear faint clicking as the solenoids adjust. Release the pedal and start the car normally, or turn the ignition off and restart. Why Do This? Over time, the DSG's Transmission Control Module (TCM) adapts to your specific driving habits. If you experience jerky shifts, delayed throttle response, or clunky gear changes, a reset forces the gearbox to "forget" these patterns and relearn a smoother shifting profile. Post-Reset Advice After resetting the transmission, ensure you drive normally and gently for the first few miles. Avoid heavy acceleration or hard braking so the gearbox has a smooth, controlled environment to relearn the ideal biting points and shift timings. Note: This procedure resets the transmission's learned driving habits but will not clear mechanical faults. If you still experience severe hesitation, shuddering, or warning lights, the vehicle may require a diagnostic scan tool (like VCDS or OBDeleven) to check for deeper issues or perform a basic settings adaptation. ================================= Once that is done, if you still get issues, get it booked in for a full DSG service. I'VE NO IDEA IF THAT ADVICE IS VALID

Had your alarm been triggered by any chance?

My colleague was asked to bring his car in to have the update after he complained about the daily shop updates. If your car is still in warranty this seems like the quickest solution... Is the 323 update available for download and manual installation somewhere? Gabbo

@tombee i'm guessing, there was made some kind of adopter similar, but another model

It turned out I had severe feathering on the inside edge of both of my rear tyres so I replaced all 4 with Michelin pilot sport 4s and the problem is no more.

Well, it looks like they just added a second horn in parallel if you have posher trim. Not sure about the wiring thickness, as the main wire from the supply control unit appears to be 0.5, though it's a bit blurry when I zoom in. Strange diagram for the relay as it's control wire might be to pin 11, and so a ground operated line, but if the diagram is correct , that would ground the horn as well.

After exactly 2hrs (5A charger) the charging went from initially 13.2V to a max of 14.4V before reducing to 13.2V. SOC went from 53% to 77% Usable Battery Charge 16A to 27A Voltage at Rest 12.1V to 12.5V.

The sealed for life I would take with a pinch of salt. It is often mentioned that the ‘sealed for life’ was 80k service intervals. I’m not sure that there are many here in the group who have a DSG with that interval who choose to stick to it. I personally try to service it in at the same interval as the 6 speed - the DSG are expensive to repair when it goes wrong. Personally the £200-£300 cost of the service is something I accept paying if it means greater peace of mind.
