Hi I never have fixed it unfortunately. I have the oil changed every 6 months and always within 2 weeks, the change oil warning comes on. I now just put up with it.

I had mine re-sprayed and they look great. They were in a terrible state when I bought the car. It looked like someone had wire wooded them.

What are you researching? Or proposing to research?

Rust seems a rarity nowadays. It’s amazing how a car can look great but be a mechanical write off. Nice to see the Germans have still got something to work on! I will continue to read your journey with interest. I am hooked on Skoda now. 2 in a row and I’ve never dine that before.

It is nice. I’ve had to have repairs done on my leather seats. It was a company car before I had it and despite only having 31000 on the clock it was poorly looked after. I stupidly missed the damage when looking at it. However. The repairs are amazing and you wouldn’t notice if you hadn’t seen them prior to repair. Useful to know the hair dryer trick! I’m sure my bottom will cause the sag effect eventually! On the seats that is!

Does the hair dryer shrink the baggy leather back?

Before it was changed it had the correct oil level but I would say the oil was darker than I would have expected being as it had been changed allegedly. I didn’t check it immediately after I got it changed but looking today again the level is right and the oil is very clean. I should also have mentioned that when I collected the car from the dealer the time to oil change was 0 on miles but high on days.

Hello all when I recently bought my used superb the service paperwork showed an oil change, upon service, whilst in the possession of the dealer, 4 months prior to my buying it. A week after ownership the change oil now warning came up upon starting the car. I had an oil and filter change done as I felt happier knowing for sure it had been done. 600 miles later and the warning is back again. The garage did reset the oil service counter but I noticed that although the days to oil change was reset, the mileage to oil change was on 0. This was the same when I bought the car, mileage on 0 but days still high. Is the garage missing something when they reset the warning? I have a friend with the Skoda software, can that be used to reset it myself? It is set to variable service which I’d rather keep. Thanks all all for your help.

You’re right. I think that is what is in the second photo. Still no luck though. I emailed a dealer and got ignored so I guess it’s one of those things I will just keep an eye out for on auction sites.

That’s it. I haven’t fond a part number yet but will keep trying.

Many thanks. You are the font of all knowledge! I might just send my q’s Directly to you!

Hi folks This is an incredibly useful thread. I have a Columbus in a 2015 series 2 superb. I believe the maps are version 11 or 12. Do I need to update firmware before updating to version 15 maps? I have had a good read through and get the impression I don’t but don’t want to break my new toy! Thanks for your help.

I haven’t but will take a look. Many thanks.

Hello all It seems the series 3 tunnel mat is cheaper than the series 2, does anyone know if the series 3 one would fit in a series 2?

Hello all Having moved my 2011 1.8tsi dsg Superb on, I now have a 2015 2.0 tdi series ii. The rubber pad on the rear of the drivers interior door handle is missing. Any ideas where I can find one please? I have tried eBay with no luck. I know it’s fussy but it’s just got to be how it’s supposed to be! I remember reading on here sometime ago that it’s common for them to come off but never had an issue on my previous Superb. Thanks all.
