I’m sure there will be one on here somewhere

I’ve experimented with MANY driving styles in my Superb. I’ve also tried many different brands for tyres etc... i find as as a really rough guide, my DSG CR170 superb estate will do 540 miles to a take on a good day and 460 miles on a bad day... many things come into play with this though. A) Tyres - if you’re running a decent tyre, just check it’s fuel economy rating, you might be surprised B.) driving style - flat out or driving like miss daisy... both are self explanatory C) driving area - town or motorway... town I’ll get anywhere from 32-45mpg and motorway anywhere from 40-62mpg depending on the factors of A & B . i use my Superb for a living, and I can honestly say that Tyres are a HUGE factor in this question. The tyres ive had... Michelin’s - I can’t remember the model of tyre but they had loads of road noise and were £122 a corner..NOPE Uniroyal RainSoort 3’s - fantastic tyre, in fact the best tyre by far for all weather driving and particularly the cost. However, they didn’t last very long. The Superb was too heavy for these tyres (in my opinion) Dunlop Sport Sport Maxx RT2 - ive had 12 of these tyres now, bloody potholes! Great tyre, I get a lot of miles out of these tyres and I believe they are the best tyre under £120 a corner, great all round tyre

Back on topic for the OP... Has anyone changed one? Im rather interested as mine snapped earlier and it’s the second time it’s happened on this engine! I’ve got a 2014 Superb 2.0 TDI ( I believe it’s a CR170 engine) estate elegance.

Will these fit my 2014 FL Superb?

Any chance you can get a few photos of it at the garage? its a long drive for me but a winter project would be quite cool for the right price. thanks

Yeah.. I realised this once I'd posted after Kieran... he'd obviously dragged two old threads up and I didn't check the dates

@vaeusedcarparts can you respond in this thread please. thanks

That at would be great. Thanks you I'll check back here tonight, when back from work. Thanks

I cant see photos? if these are still available, I'm interested. thanks

Without sounding daft... my Superb Mk2 has a stripped key and I want to change it... this is isn't an exact replacement as my locking nuts aren't concave like these but will these fit my car? Im guessing the thread pattern is the same for them all? If so.. I'll have them please pm me your PayPal details

Well... just went out to the car... thought I'd give it one last try whilst checking the emissions sticker... so, I unlocked the car... no fogs.. get in, phone in pocket ***initialising*** bam... CONNECTED TO *Skoda Superb DSG* (I've named my phone Skoda Superb DSG A. It looks good on Maxidot & B. I don't want customers knowing my name ) so I re-parked the car in a better location closer to the house as I've got a lot to put in the car in the morning. Whilst I was there I was going through all the menus and nothing stood out.. nothing looks changed. So so I now have Bluetooth back... how has this suddenly reappeared though! What the hell! Checked the boot too... no sign of a new sticker as far as I can see As as for the lights... I think I'll try the lights settings in the morning as I've got a funny feeling that they may be on 'main beam' setting as I remember putting it back to 'Auto' the last time they had it for servicing... im hoping that his is going to solve it... if not I'll have to get it reprogrammed. then it'll be down to the service indicator and that definite difference in the revs

No, I've not got a copy of the waiver... just my job sheet that says *** NOX UPDATE DECLINED BY CUSTOMER*** I'll get a call from them in the morning to discuss the lighting issue... but this has me thinking... would it be possible that the lights have been moved from 'Auto' to another setting and this then turns the lights off on lock/unlock??? Or would this feature still work? the branch was closed when I got home to discuss the Bluetooth as I tried to sort it several times on my way home, I got out several times and tried different methods etc just to make sure it wasn't me having a funny five minutes! As for the sticker in the boot I will check this now!

I recieved this booklet this week. Not sent it back as it was going in this week also. I have signed to DECLINE 'The Fix' 3 times now and on the cars previous service I signed the paperwork but "the fix" wasn't released by then anyway. Today... it's a different story... I feel that something HAS been done.

I tried... but I select all of the text, hit the 'Size' button and the selected text is no longer selected

Its exactly this! Through the lower revs it sounds a lot more tractor like and is no where near as smooth as it use to be. When you 'blip' (for want of better words) the throttle, it doesn't have the same response and lack lustre is a great description.

big print.. sorry I'd copied it from my notes in my phone and it came out like this.

Hi gents, I'm after a bit of general advice/conversation about the following as I can't get my head around it and quite frankly it's P***ing me off something chronic! Firstly, sorry for the length of this post and I'd like to say I get on really well with the two service guys at my dealer and although we don't see each other often, they know me by name and they are always helpful. Small back story with relevance to the below... A month or so back the battery died on the superb (was my fault). Once I got the car started I obviously had to reset the clock. I didn't realise you could reset the service indicator in the car manually, and accidentally reset that by pressing both of the buttons on either side of the mph/rev clocks.... So... My (14 reg) Superb CR170 went in for its service today, the service light was not indicating on my dash for the above reason but it was due because of the mileage. Just so you're all aware, I have previously declined the update and today I'd done the same thing. I went to collect the car and the car had its thorough yearly check with a video supplied to show 3 tyre defects. I was aware of the two front tyres (near limit and on order) but was not aware of a nail in the rear tyre, so many thanks to the thorough check (I'll sort that tomorrow) Money exchanged and we went out to find the car... I saw my car and quickly noticed that when the "Guy" (I won't mention names) unlocked the car, my fogs were not coming on. I've had a few options on VCDS/VagCom turned on/off 1. "fogs on when locking/unlocking" turned on 2. "Xenon on when locking/unlocking" turned off I'd had these options turned on/off as I've heard that the xenon's have a shorter lifespan when they are turned on and off all the time. Whether this is true or not, I don't care.. Anyway, I said straight away that the car has been 'played' with today and that I was not happy about it. I started the car up (I was stood up chatting to the "guy") then turned it back off, it still didn't work on lock and unlock. So he said "well, I can only assume that it was from when he reset the service indicator, but I'll have to find out in the morning as the technicians have all gone home now" I agreed and said that I wasn't happy as in the back of my mind I had a niggling feeling the car was going to get its 'software update' regardless of me declining it 3 times but I'd like to hope that wasn't the case. So I jumped in the car after brief discussion and turned the car on - **BEEP** SERVICE NOW. couldn't help but think to myself HOW ON EARTH IS THAT ON!! it wasn't on this morning! It's clearly not been reset! If it has been plugged in and reset why is it on now?. So went back in, and mentioned that the service light was not reset and that I'd had no idea how it was on anyway! Again I mentioned that I was rather annoyed at this situation because as much as it was only a setting that has been turned off, and a service light that's not been reset. What else has or has not been done today??? So... again I leave... turn the car on... ***searching for phone*** ***unable to find phone*** I tried it manually. Nothing I tried deleting it... won't delete as it's in use... I tried turning the car off, key out back in, waited for initialising to cease then tried again manually. NOTHING! All of the diagnoses methods I'd used before to sync my phone or media did not work. So.... I'd like answers... but the answers that I currently have (my own) just don't seem to add up! In my opinion.. it's been plugged in today and whilst it may not have had a "factory reset" something has been done... but what?.. Why would someone go into VCDS and just turn off some features? Your thoughts? Also... when in neutral the car revs COMPLETELY differently now... this may come across as me being paranoid but it's a habit I have and I am 100% certain it's revving differently now! COINCIDENCE........Yes, Probably....

Did this sell? If not please let me know thanks

I don’t suppose the interior Heater fan is the same on this model as my 14 reg Facelift estate is it? I can can possibly get the part number from mine but I’ve not had it out yet. thanks

Hi Gents, what size are are my Brakes? Im in need of front and rears Discs and Pads. Ive got a Mk2 Superb Estate CR170 Elegance loki g on GSF Car Parts they seem to do different sizes Any help would be great thanks Happily PM reg to people for a definitive answer, thanks

As much as I agree with this, it's not always the case for me. I am a taxi driver by trade and having a full size spare is essential for me, for a couple of reasons. A) if I'm on an airport run with customers on board, I'll have to limp to the airport with a Space Saver, then limp home. - With a full size spare, I can be back on the road in a realistic 15 mins and order a tyre at my leisure. B) if I'm working in the local area, rather than calling out AA to get me home, or not being legal to work (not allowed to run Space Savers) - I can do as above and be on the road in 15 mins

Awesome stuff! Look forward to seeing the pictures when it arrives :)

Ah rubbish! I've just bought a set of wheels to use one as a spare and sell the rest :(

Yea I ordered mine from Skoda directly, I only knew as I was browsing the forum and both the Doors and the dividers are on the same picture diagram, they looked like the fittings would fit into the existing fixings and it's literally a case of; pull up on the divider, that comes out and then the door drops into the same place :)

I thought that over a certain weight in the car, you had to fit the uprated springs... the type that you'd fit if towing a caravan. They sit higher when the car is empty, but then when fully loaded (like your car was on the long trip) they ride a lot better and put a LOT less stress on the rest of the suspension components I've seen several Passat owners changing their springs for holiday trips etc
