    The Superb III Picture thread

    Yes, not so much different. TD has more straight lines in spokes

    while RE has some curves

    I bought the center caps from www.ebay.de (see skoda nabendeckel). I don't remember which dealer it was, but it was only 9.90 € incl. postage. They came in a small envelope directly to my mailbox. It was a bit hard to measure the correct size and those were just a bit too small. However, with a bit of tape I could get them fit perfectly.

    The rims are:

    DEZENT RE 7X17 5/112 ET38 CB70.1

    7X17 5/112 ET38 CB70.1

     

    Bought them from www.tyred.se here in Sweden. Price about 4000 SEK which as of today is about 350 GBP.

    They are from OCL Brorssons (Swedish company) and manufactured in Germany. I think.

     

    (Tyres are Nokian Hakkapelitta 8 215/55 R17.)

    Here is a photo of my Moon white Combi Style with DCC (-10 mm lowered) with another Dezent wheels. Model is TD and specifications are exactly the same as in above (7X17 5/112 ET38)

    NOISE IN REAR SUSPENSION

    in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)

    Posted · Edited by SuperbMan71

    1. I refer to part No 3Q0505541, because this part No was written in service order what was given to me yesterday. Here is link where can find snap shot from the document. It's in latvian, but on the 3rd line is the No of the part https://failiem.lv/u/m96cmahz. And yes, my dealer said that Skoda Superb is buit on the same platform as new Passat - MQB. Therefore similarities shall be. Honestly speaking I haven't heard any complaints from Passat owners as well...

    2. I can not really answer to your question, but when on January my dealer informed me that Skoda factory had recognized the problem, they insisted that these bushes are causing the rattling noise. In reality, since yesterday there is proof that bushes are not faulty.

    3. When I asked my dealer some month ago similar question - Does Skoda stopped the production of this Superb model with DCC, the answer was - No. Skoda factory is continuing production and if there will be some complaints from some owners, they will change the part - bushes.

    I can 100% agree with you, that there is something really strange in this case as I am already fighting and dealing with this problem for 4!!! months.

     

    And one more strange aspect is that my dealer is saying that I am the only one owner in Latvia who is having such a problem, although they have sold several other Superb cars with the same modification and specification as I have. No complaints from other owners so far.

     

    Thanks Deerjohn! I didn't meant those questions directly to you, but rather for everybody to think about. It is crazy that they keep on selling those cars! 

    I have been told both from my dealer (a service manager there) and Finnish importer that all the cars with DCC have this problem and they know that in the factory and try to find a fix for that. I was not even at my dealer to show the problem - they believed that without even seeing the car. I think that pretty much confirms that all DCC-equipped cars really have the problem. My car is 2.0 TDI 110 kW Style with optional DCC. 

     

    Having said that, now the weather was a bit warmer yesterday (up to +10 C) here in Finland, it seemed that the noise almost disappeared. So, it may have something to do with temperature. But definitely it has a lot to do with the road conditions and of course roads are also much better than during the wintertime.. In the winter, with icy and bumpy roads, it was terrible. So, if somebody cannot hear that, I recommend to find a bumpy road and drive it through slowly (10-15 mph). At higher speeds, the noise is hidden behind the tyre noise.

    Today dealer contacted me and invited to visit service as they had received new design wishbone bushes from factory. Of course, I visited service immediately and today they changed these bushes. According to the specification the part No is 3Q0505541. I checked this part in internet: http://etka.cc/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/PA/year/2015/drive_standart/793/hg_ug/505/subcategory/505005/part_id/3723238#sec_3. Service did also test drive and for deep disatisfaction no any change - the annoying clattering and rattling noise is still there in the rear suspension. The problem is not solved with the change of the bushes. Next week on wednesday I will visit service again. They promised to perform detailed examination. Service said that they will take off stabilization rod and then test the car on the road. If this will not give any positive result, the next possible examination is shock absorber. Maybe somebody of you already find the solution? 

     

    So, you refer to 2015 Passat in the link. Two questions:

    1. Is the construction really the same in Passat and Superb? If so, why I haven't heard any complaints from Passat drivers with DCC?

    2. If the problem is the part you refer to, why it affects only models with DCC? I doubt that the car with normal suspension has any difference in that part.

     

    And one extra question. Do they still sell and produce cars with faulty DCC or have they somehow managed to fix it in the production line, but cannot fix the existing cars? I guess it must have something to do with the big costs to repair.  

     

    There is something really strange in this case...

    Interesting indeed. I ordered Combi Style version (In Finland) on 18th of June and never considered ordering the car with the standard Stratos wheels. Instead, I ordered with the Helios which I find much more appealing. After having now seen Stratos wheels in real life I was even more happier that I didn’t took those. For my eyes they look so terrible. Small wheels with many spokes just doesn't fit a car like this, in my opinion. But we all seem to have different tastes  :D

    Adaptive Cruise

    in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)

    You can de-select ACC assist in settings and then it is normal cruise.

    ...

     

    This is really great, if true, as I also use cruise control all the time and normal cruise would be better in some circumstances.

     

    However, I could not find the option listed in the manuals http://www.skoda-auto.com/en/mini-apps/owners-manuals/superb

    There seems to be possibility to activate/deactivate Front assist, Lane assist, Driver alert, etc, but not that option for ACC. See page 66 here:

    But, if you have seen that working, that's nice!
