I compared them to two individuals rather than a boxed pair. The individuals fitted ok so I think it was some kind of unfortunate/unusual wrong clips. So I’ll be returning the pair. thanks for your help

Yes, into the service position.

Thanks Carlston. That was a help but I’m not really any further forward. There was no choice of fitting clip. No.4 is certainly more like the O.E. wiper, and not entirely unlike my new ones, but obviously not the same. Width of the clip seems ok, push button seems in the right place but it’s a sticky-out bit of plastic on the underside stopping it pushing in.

I've bought a set of Bosch Aero Twin A860S, for my facelift late 2017 estate. Packaging says Octavia 11.12 onwards The clips aren't entirely dis-similar but they don't seem to fit. New blade won't slide in. The clips do look a bit different for sure. . Anyone know if they aren't actually correct, maybe wrong for a facelift? TIA

I see it looks like 3 TSI outputs, 187, 220 and 280 (approx)

Is the 190 a TDI?

Great input, thanks. Next step I'd like a test drive of a superb estate just to see my general impression. I noted yesterday that interestingly it's shorter in overall length than 2016 onwards Mercedes E Class estate. Both fairly big of course.

Looks like everyone with one is a happy bunny! Another question if I may, is getting the upgraded sound system pretty much just a L&K feature or do quite a lot of Superb's have this?

Thanks again for all the input it's just what I was hoping to have. A broad overall picture.

Many thanks for the above replies and info. Genuinely appreciated. if can ask another question being that they’re quite a big heavy car, how are they on suspension components wearing out? Following on re the DSG am I right the DSG really must be serviced? I’m asking some of this because on price it’d more than likely be a car with some miles on it.

Thanks for your input. Is reliability pretty good overall? How about the DSG's, is it a 7 speed DSG?

I’m looking to replace my (second) Mk1 Fabia estate for ULEZ reasons. I’m drawn to another Fabia but in the past have had bigger cars like 7 Series so I’d adjust to the Superb size. I really like the dash/interior. The performance I see is fantastic for a big car with the high output 2.0 petrol. I guess the engine is like a slightly detuned Golf R. Thoughts on a used petrol Superb with DSG/4x4, especially with a few miles on it. Quite good used proposition or a potential liability?! Thanks

Aha I didn’t see the pictures further down. Odd choice showing black cars. Doesn’t exactly accentuate the black bits!

It’s just an SE 1.6 TDI. Funnily enough I thought the grill ought to be black if a blacked out model. I suppose the grill might’ve been changed due to damage or whatever. I quite like the look of it but I’m a bit on the fence with the 79k miles. I’d probably prefer a bit lower because I’m willing to spend a bit to replace my Mk1 TDI estate. In many ways would like another Fabia but it’s a great pity mostly only wheezy engines in recent years, and no VRS.
