Hey Philpix, that's a really good deal. Where did you get that from?

I suppose I'll end up doing that but i think it's always more valuable when someone gives you their take on it.

Hi folks I was wondering whether anyone has changed their cambelt themself and took any photos of the steps or just what their experience was like or is planning to change? There's a really good guide on here for servicing which i used to do my own but couldn't find a specific one for cambelt. In two minds about getting a garage to do it. I'd really like to learn how it's done and would gain bit of confidence from other people's experience. Thanks

Anyone ever hear a squeaking sound after start up? Recently started getting this. It lasts for about 10 seconds and then goes. Before this though many times after start up I've heard a sound that i can only describe as the noise you get when moving the wing mirrors if that makes any sense but not as squeaky.

Hi, Just curious how long it's taking people these days for engine warm up? This morning it took for my 170 CR 18 mins averaging 32mph over a 10 mile stretch. Seems kinda extra long.

Thanks guys, Heli it does turn out i had to use adapter 2 mount A(inside 19mm) and a bit of tugging and job done! From Euro parts the AP24U and AP18U were around £24 the pair. But beware it lists them as exact fast fit but they come with 4 adapters so not model specific. Cheers for the link Silver, would have saved me some faffing around. I'll keep an eye out for it next time.

They came with 4 clips, the closest appearing to be the one in the pic. Tried with no luck to fit. I've changed wiper blades before on other cars but confused whether the correct adapter is included with this wiper. Drefaldwyn did you fit these same Bosch ones on your car?

Hi I bought these Bosch Aerotwin wipers AP24U and AP18U from Euro Car Parts. These came with a multi clip and i cannot figure out how to get them on. I'm using clip 4. Has anyone had experience with these? Or let me know where i can get some for teh Superb as I've already bought a pair of wrong ones from Euro Car Parts.

Many thanks James,exactly what i needed. It was the protective cap, ordered in for £13, phew not too expensive.

Hey Heli, Do you remember what it was called? Thanks,

Hi folks, Anyone know what the tray / guard on the left side of the car towards the middle is called? It's not the main under tray at the front, it's a smaller one. I have no idea what it covers. Mine has snapped off on one end and trying to find a replacement. I'll post a picture once the rain stops. Many thanks,

The warranty is with Honda. Skoda did go direct to Honda care who refused to cover the flywheel. Back to the Honda dealer and they aren't convinced the warranty claim will go through for it. They insist wear and tear not covered, only failure and want to strip the car for pictures. I don't understand what they mean by wear and tear, do they want the flywheel to explode out of the car? I don't know whether i should let them do that in case they make up another excuse and foot me with the bill. Nothing from Skoda but they were very helpful and didn't charge me for diagnosis.

Okay folks, so I believe I have the dreaded dual mass flywheel issue. I took the car to Skoda because I wasn't happy the way it was driving (09, 70K, 170CR dsg), jerking around low gears. Had a technician sit in with me but car seemed to drive perfectly ! However he did note the noisy flywheel and made a point of it. Now I bought this car from a non Skoda main dealer and it has an extended warranty. Took the car back to Skoda for changing the flywheel but the dealer I have warranty with won't cover the flywheel despite it being on the warranty document. Skoda have sent a report to the dealer stating the flywheel needs changing, however the other dealer is being reluctant and putting it down to being a common issue and wear and tear. I can't see this wear and tear bit in the warranty document so I'm kinda confused what to do. The other dealer also wants images before they accept the warranty claim but I don't want them to start stripping the car down only to turn around and say the flywheel is not bad enough. It's month 9 out of 12 on warranty. Any advice appreciated

Ah i found it, it's blocked too! Always wondered what that was.
