Looking very smart indeed, I love the colour.... I'm just waiting on the weather picking up a wee bit so I can get started on doing my Superb. I've been getting her valeted about once every 6-8 weeks since I bought her at the end of March last year, even if it's only an exterior safe wash as I've vacuumed inside, but it's had 3 coats of Fusso Soft 99 applied which has helped stopped the worst of the muck sticking to her,.. I bought a new pressure washer last October along with some proper detailing buckets and grit guards but the cold weather plays havoc with my Arthritis to actually wash it

It's an SE+ 1.6 TDI Diesel and definitely has halogens

Hi Folks, Currently have a 2013 PFL Hatchback and looking for confirmation on the halogen headlight bulbs fitted to the car...I've looked in the owners manual and it doesn't seem to mention them anywhere Dip beam being a single filament Wil be the H7 bulb the issue is the high beam bulb as some sites list it as H1 whilst others list it as H3....looking through the lens it does look like the H1 but in photos they both look very similar in shape... Can you please confirm what I need to look for .... And what everyone is using as my light output is pathetic at the moment, especially the dip beam.

I don't honestly think that manufactures anylonger list services by year in their service records as the service book for my 2013 Suberb has the same things listed on every page with the garage simply ticking the boxes that have and haven't been looked at or changed.... There's certainly nothing I think of special about a 9 year service ... Timing Belt and Water Pump with Tensioners should be changed around 5 years or 70/80,000 miles, DSG Boxes depending on type require a service every 4 years or 40,000 miles others are a longer period and higher mileage, Haldex System is normally every 3 years or 30,000 miles and brake fluid every 2 years.... Air and cabin/pollen filter I tend to change every service but most people change every other service... Diesel Fuel filter is something like every 50/60,000 miles (at least on my Octavia).... It's a long time since I've a a petrol engine so I can't comment on those

Purchased this stunning Superb 1.6TDI on March 30 so it was treated to a decent valet today by a local company and topped off with a coat of Fusso Wax and she's looking amazing again

Superb wheel and grill badges
labman1001 replied to labman1001's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Thank you but searches have only shown up info on the new style black and silver badges and I wish to stick with the original style ... All I need is the sizes -

Hi Folks, Having owned a 2007 Octavia L&K 2 litre TDI Hatchback since July 2015 I've recently moved up to a 2013 Superb SE+ 1.6 TDI and I have to admit I'm blown away by the size and comfort of the car. The car is in beautiful condition having covered under 59,000 miles with freshly refurbished alloys but the wheel centre caps are looking just ever slightly so tired when you get up close as is the front grill badge and I'm looking for the size of the wheel caps, wheels are 17" Triffids, and the size of the grill badge to order Regards Peter

Drivers window cable snapped
labman1001 replied to Jonnyhatesjazz70's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
I've done the same thing on my my MK2 Octavia Hatchback... Both front windows scraped clear of frost leaving the work at the back of 8pm when it was -5 but by the time I'd got to roundabout 10 minutes up the road I couldn't see a thing out either ... Passenger side went down no issues and drivers side went bang like a bloody gun going off -
I bought a YUASA 096 from Halfords, not sure of the specs but I bought it in Nov 2019 with my trade card and had another 15% off buying on line and it was around £83 supplied and fitted and it's a 5 year warranty... Cars a 2007 2litre diesel

Hi Folk, I'd some rust in my rear wheel arches treated about 18 months ago and it's starting to come back through again ... I'm considering repairing them with a welded in repair section but can only find them for the MK1 body shell, is it possible to get them for the MK2 hatchback at all.
-
If it's only the front wing as long as they're both from a preface lift car then the wings of both the hatchback and estate are I believe interchangeable across the cars

Your best bet is one of the aftermarket units made by the likes of Xtron that keep all your existing displays working on the screen .... Most are made for the 2009 onwards facelift models but they do some compatible with the older cars

Standard octavia on 17" wheels
labman1001 replied to octaviani's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I've a 2007 Laurin and Klement with 17" wheels while earlier models had 16" as long as you fit the correct tyre which is 225/45/17 on the 17" wheels you will be fine .... Having said that you might find the ride a bit harsh as it took me ages to get used to mines, I did come from a long line of Citroen's with hydraulic suspension though
