Hey Vlad,   Thank you for your nice welcoming ! I am a petrolhead since childhood and owned some very different kind of cars let say.   Owned a BMW e60 530D (Incredible engine, super comfy but without M chassis it was not sporty at all), then I had a Ford Fiesta ST 182hp for more than 8 years and I just loved it: not great for the comfort but driving it was a real pleasure, the ones who owned this car will know what I mean. Then when time came to replace it, I was asking myself what will be the next one? I was looking for a mix of both of my previous cars but with a maximum of boot space etc. Started by looking at Octavia VRSs (from 2017/less than 100k km on the odo) but wanted to have a 4WD and diesel is not an option as I do a lot of small trips. Then found that the Superbs 280 was a great candidate and price-wise really close to the octavia vrs prices.    Recently found a Superb 280 Sportline with DCC and a lot of extras so quite happy. I know it will be totally different, it is quite an upgrade on power and equipment but I really hope it will feel sporty enough even though it is much bigger and heavier than a Fiesta ST.  As soon as I have some feedbacks, will be happy to share them !    ps : on the side I also own a Mercedes 320CE from 1993, just love it.  Fred. 

Thank you. It happens to me every 14 days....today it wouldnt stop until i shut of the car twice....quality of todays products is very poor.... And climate control isbon infotainment so couldnt stop the blowing...

Hello!   Just wanted to say thanks for the guide and pass on a few other bits that came up when I fitted a heated wheel to my superb. I had a question from someone else fitting this that ran in to these issues so I thought it might help someone else.   First off, and probably goes without saying, but the superb needs a different clock spring - part 5Q0953569B.   Secondly, don't buy a second hand clock spring from a different model - I got one from a VW passat, same part number. Turns out the passat spring is hard coded to the car, so won't accept the superb coding no matter what you do. This is an issue as the cruise control is on the steering wheel in the passat and on a seperate stick in the superb.   Finally - a new clock spring needs to be coded else your cruise control (and other bits such as KESSY) won't work.  This might be obvious to some but not to me and had me stumped for a while! make sure you do a scan with VCDS or similar before you change the spring and copy the coding exactly to the new spring. Some bits such at the steering wheel buttons won't need it, but cruise control and some others do.   Hope this helps someone!    

You realise the issue now is that the dog hair has nothing to stick to and it'll end up in the cabin!

Hi guys    I'm new to the Briskoda forums.   This is my first Skoda and I have only had it for a few months, when the car is cold you can hear a shudder noise from the gearbox area and when clutch is depressed it disappears once the cars driven then sat idling it disappears.   The clutch isn't slipping and it sounds similar to a Dmf rattle as I experienced on my old Seat toledo 1.9tdi but that rattled all the time. The engine code is CAYB paired with a MZL 5 speed box the car is on 85k and service history doesn't indicate its had any clutch work done.   Can someone confirm If this engine code and gearbox code have a DMF or SMF and is this normal behaviour for this car
