Variable boot floor part no ?
Hi, Does anyone know the part number for the variable floor so I can find out cost? (Boot floor only, not the additional side panels required for it etc) thanks!

Brake wear sensors
Sorry, have now seen it said these cars do have them? Anyone know roughly how much wear they are down to when the warning comes up? i.e. so I can gauge how quickly to get it booked in for as assuming it doesn't mean stop driving immediately? (FYI mainly motorway use)

2017 Superb SE L Executive with sound generator?
Hi, On checking my car's build spec for the existing suspension rating, I've found on one line it references this: 157 GM1 VWGROUP ASM Standard electronic engine sound Does this mean my car has sound generated by the speakers? I long ago noticed it did make a droning noise that would come and go at circa 80 on the speedo depending on engine light load and just assumed it was to do with exhaust gasflow etc at the given engine speed. Is this actually the speakers making this noise? Can I turn it off? Why does the non-sporty superb have electronic engine sound??? Thanks,

Uprating rear suspension?
Hi all again, One other question, was self levelling suspension available for the car like Nivomats are on other estates? Thanks,

Uprating rear suspension?
Is anyone able to advise what's involved in replacing the Superb mk3 estate rear springs? Found some conflicting information and the official manual isn't clear if the "official" method is merely compressing the spring to remove it? Thanks!

Better mpg with winter tyres!!
The Continental All Seasons aren't a full winter but can work in winter conditions (to a point). I think the tyre and rim size suit the car well for good ride and low road noise. I would consider 17 inch rims for my summer tyres as well if I didn't already have the 18 inch rims it came with.

Better mpg with winter tyres!!
Yes I also get improved mpg even though it's winter conditions. My All Season tyres are mounted on the 17 inch rims with 215/55 R17 whereas on the summer set with marginally greater fuel consumption are 235/45 R18.

Uprating rear suspension?
Thank you all for the replies, gives me some options to consider.

Uprating rear suspension?
I have a 150 ps 2.0 TDi Estate, and always intrigued me how such a large estate car doesn't come with any levelling suspension. I don't often carry heavy loads but can on occasion have three / four passengers and the boot almost filled to the roof. The car drives okay but evidently sags a bit at the rear with such weight. Are there any reasonable cost efficient ways to help support the rear when loaded up? I have seen the rear springs and they look far too small diameter for any assisters being mounted inside?

Servicing - Franchise Dealer or Independent (North West Location)
Hi, I have traditionally maintained my own cars but this is the youngest car I have owned by a long way, and understand some parts of the service routine involve specialist computer equipment (e.g. winding the park brake off)? Thanks,

Servicing - Franchise Dealer or Independent (North West Location)
Hi, Thank you for the reply. Do we have any indication as to what are the typical prices for the various service items? Thanks!

Servicing - Franchise Dealer or Independent (North West Location)
Hi, I have a 2017 Superb mk3 2.0 TDi SEL Executive. It had been serviced by the dealer network shortly prior to me purchasing it, and it is on the variable service interval. The car is now on circa 68k miles. Being based in Lancaster, who do people recommend for servicing? Given the mileage am I best going to the franchise dealer? What would those costs likely be? Apart from the timing belt what other work might I be looking at given age / mileage? Thanks!

Winter wheel options
Thank you all for the replies. I imagine I will be looking toward the 17 inch wheels unless there's any good reason to go with 16 inch? Thanks!

Winter wheel options
Hi, I plan to get some winter tyres for my Superb mk3 Estate. It’s on the stock 18 inch alloys at the moment and would like a smaller set of alloys for the winter tyres. I’m struggling to find out what wheels will fit my car. What were the stock options from factory? What were the different rim styles called so I can include them when trying to search? Thanks!

Variable Servicing - how is it shown?
No that’s variable. Fixed is circa 10,000 miles.

Estate Bumper Protector
I have an order on at the moment with Carnoisseur for an RGM bumper protector, but they're having problems with their supplier and currently can't advise when this supplier will make the delivery. What other options are there for a good bumper protector for my Superb Estate? Thanks!

Remap/Performance
I guess from the absence of replies to the question, no one has any real experience on the maps available for the 150 and its impact on longevity?

Retrofit Heated Washer Nozzles
Anyone know?

Remap/Performance
Does the 150 not have a smaller turbo and different injectors to the 190? Also thought I saw a comment about the 190 being withdrawn as a Manual because gearboxes were failing, presumably from the extra torque and power over the 150? My (2017) 150 is also not adblue, was this introduced at a later date?

Retrofit Heated Washer Nozzles
Thanks. What about the wiring? Is the loom already there?
