Hi All, sorry to drag thread back. I have been experiencing issues with my AC (2018 272 Superb) it went in 2 weeks ago for aircon gas top up, as it stopped working, which i thought was odd given the age of the car, Skoda confirmed the gas was low, after a test and no leaks found. (£166 to regas) Drove away all working, but didnt feel as cold as it did prior to failure. (baring in mind it seemed to stop working over night, it wasnt a gradual decline in coldness). another two weeks later, and its gone again, so back to Skoda. Had the call today to say that its bubbling around the hoses onto the front condensor, and they have said seals, and looks like some corrosion, hense leaking. (why this wasnt picked up first time around im unsure). Because i have exstended warranty they have had to submit a report to see if its covered but they are saying probably not, so im apparently facing a £1k+ repair. Now as far as im concerned a car purchased new in november 2018 (a MY19) should not be corroding this early on, around a system which polutes the atmosphere. Skoda have said its because the condensor is right behind the front grill getting water and salt pelted at it. Even still its not an old car. Has anyone had similar issue? picked car up unfixed, whilst Skoda contact HQ in regards to warranty. Vin

Has anybody attempted to remove the front bumper on the MK3 Sportline? Im wanting to remove mine for adaptation, but can't seem to find a guide? Anybody in the know? Ta V

Hey Has anybody here upgraded the standard calipers to a big brake kit on their 280 models? I really like the solid caliper face that is on the Golf R, and im suprised Skoda did not fit something simular on the 280, rather than the standard looking caliper. I have always said, that if you want to know how much power a car has........look at its brakes. For me the Superb is the ultimate sleeper, but i would just like to add a subtle hint to whats lurking under my right foot. Would Golf R, or Audi calipers fit the Superb?, or does anybody know of any kits that are not stupid money? V
