Hi, My googling suggests the 190ps EA888 is very different internally and externally from the other versions, being focused on efficiency rather than power. Are all post 2021 using the 7 speed DSG?

Hi, Looking to replace my now wearing 2017 superb sel exec 150ps diesel manual which has almost 170k miles on it. I am UK based and am looking at either the 200ps diesel or 190ps petrol options, as I have struggled to find an alternative comparable car to the superb. I am finding that there are more 190ps petrols available than the 200ps diesel available second hand. I would consider a stage 1 for either too. Looking to get one that's post 2021 with around 50k miles and likely run it to around 150k miles (similar to my existing car). Are there any red flags to say no to either of the options? Probably would look toward the Sportline trim this time too. Annual mileage is around 20-25k miles.

Sorry, I have now found quite a few listings with it included with the gearstick surround so have opted to get one of those second hand and will transfer the switches over to mine. Hopefully will cure the fault as the park brake functions when setting off from stand still after first start and also engages again when turning the car off, I just can't manually activate it and I have dashboard warning.

Hi, I understand the park brake switch is part no. 3V0927225B I can't seem to find many available online as second hand. Are the brand new pattern part ones advertised circa £70 on eBay and Amazon any good or are they not worth bothering with?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. It is primarily in the body of the car, which as you suggest indicates it's the rear brakes or suspension. Will investigate further.

Hi, I get a judder on moderate to hard braking from higher speeds (such as on motorway slip road). Discs look clean and are not particularly worn and there is plenty of material on the pads. No calipers are sticking either. The car has done over 150k miles however so suspect it might be worn suspension components (for example I understand BMWs can be very sensitive to wear on some control arms which can cause them to judder under braking). Which (if any) suspension parts on the Superb are known to cause judder under braking?

Thanks. Are they excessively bright compared to stock and what’s longevity like?

Hi, I've looked at a few threads and posts but most are quite old now. What is the recommended LED bulb for the rear indicators on a pre-facelift Superb mk3 estate?

Hi, In the end had a garage do the work who (I think) used the book's listed spring compressor to make short work. They also replaced some of the bolts as they're one time use only (i.e. torque and then degrees turn). Thanks,

Hi, The Superb iV is on a shortlist of mine, with caveats. If you were to use one without plugging it in for charge, how well does it behave in normal use? Will it otherwise act like any other non-plug in hybrid? Is there a significant impact on overall mpg? I ask because the benefits of the plug in function seem limited vs cost of installing a home charger. Thanks,

Hi all, To give an update on this, it would appear it's related to the battery health. When fully charged this issue does not arise, but would happen if the car had not been used for a few days and gave a sluggish starting (as happens with tired battery).

Hi, Intermittent fault has developed with my 2017 SEL Exec. Sometimes on a drive I come to activate ACC and just get “ACC: Error” on the dashboard and it will not activate. No other faults and I can switch to speed limiter and that’s fine. The car status shows no fault when this happens either. Anyone had this before? Thanks,

If you have a 150 TDI from March 2017 or earlier it won’t have adblue.

Thanks for the comments! One option I have considered is the mk4 Octavia in SEL trim and DSG but am conscious of the infotainment / computer problems which still sound unresolved even with latest updates?

It's the part of the latch contained in the tailgate in case they ask.
