DAB in my 2017 motor is also intermittent, but i can live with it. It's not a patch on the wifes much newer MG.

Yes, DSG is TVS stage 3. Ive always been interested in modding my cars too, and this one was the only sensible thing in budget that could pull a caravan too. I still get 21mpg with the van on the back, and i can live with that. I can still get high 30's to the gallon, if i drive like the grandad.....that i am. The kids love it and i see no reason whatsoever to change it. If it breaks, fix it and carry on.

The front fog lights are fixed aren't they? They dont swivel do they? I know the bulbs fit other cars, i just want to be sure they dont move, before i start my next project. Thanks

Yes. Its stage 3, 523hp. I've got the parts for the next stage up, and am just waiting for the garage to call me in to have it done. Such an underrated motor, and a far cry from the things we used to laugh at in the 70's & 80's.

Ohh, i havent got DCC.

Welcome to the group. Nice motor - It's identical to mine

235/40/19's on mine - but a wet field wont put me off

I tow a 4 birth caravan in my 280. Love it. It wont pull it through muddy fields though. The wheels just spin and just digs deeper into the soil if its 'that wet'.

And another useful link bud...

Monroe shock absorbers are ^&*() in my opinion. They are the worst thing skoda decided to fit to their superbs.

There's a science to the helmholtz resonator. You have to have it matched to your car to cancel out the drone. And obviously it's not cheap. There isn't an off the shelf option for the superb. Things may seem to be the same on the mqb platform, but they are not.

I have tried 2 new usb sticks and formatted them both and copied music to them and they play just fine, but when i add the mib folders to the usb and stick it back in the car, it says source not supported, and it wont even recognise the music! 😠 Ignore me, ive been stupid. I went into the nav settings option and saw the sd/usb update option. Clicked that and it is now updating.

Whats the story on fitting other skoda (or even audi & vw ) wheels to mk3 superbs? I've got a 280 estate and i would like to have a spare set of wheels for winter. Do 20inch wheels from the Kodiaq say, fit straight on without having to use spigot rings or spacers?

523hp on the v4 - hoping for more than that with the v5 on a forged block and ported head with slightly bigger valves. Nice to hear you're back in the fold
