  1. Good afternoon alll I’m thinking of buying the good wife Fabia (Petrol) as she has 2014 bluemotion diesel polo but the big question I’m asking is!!! Does the Fabia has the same running gear as the polo like clutch and all things like that ? I drive a mk2 superb myself and I really can’t fault it. But we’re having a few problems with the polo as we’ve only just found out it had new clutch plates fitted to the polo before it was even registered :( so by me getting this Fabia does it mean it’s practically the same as the polo ? Ps has it had many recalls ? Are you people really happy abit the Fabia ? Once again thank you for your reply’s kind regards bob.
  2. About to fit mine soon I’m sure it was save me in the long run
  3. Fantastic reply’s thanks guys and now I’m really stumped obviously I’m a proper novice and I just want to do good with my pride and joy. I might consider a remap stage 1 but the increase on insurance is putting me off. Especially as I dont do a lot of miles. I drive 1900 miles a week in a truck and the thought of going out for a drive on the weekend is crazy lol
  4. Good Evening all im thinking about replacing my air filter with a K&N one for my 2014 170 cr diesel has anybody changed there’s to a K&N are you glad you did and are they really worth the price. Does it actually make a difference to the car at all ? I’m just thinking in the long run it may pay for it self by not having to replace the filter every service I don’t do a great deal of mileage and i always use a good fuel usually esso or shell. Tia
  5. Good evening all just a quick question I’ve tried searching for the answer through the search but unable to find anything. The question is why can’t my radio display the name of song and group all it says is the station name and it used to before :( I’ve looked into the settings for it but I can’t find it so I’m just looking for a few pointers ps it a 2014 superb tia bob.
  6. Is there a website to find the actual colour of my car as I've just had a idiot bump my car luckily it's more of a skuff on the bumper and I need to sort this out and I want to buy a paint stick but I don't know the colour and the code I need because I don't want to buy the wrong one and have to post it back and all that thanks guys
  7. 23R6 is that what's on the label / sticker
  8. What I have noticed on the superb there are no actual markings on the roof rail to suggest where to place the bars unlike my old Peugeot 406 estate where they had tiny ^^ indicators. So is there a measurement you should place the bars because I have a box and bars from my old Peugeot the bars do fit but like I said I'm unsure of where to place them
  9. Aww gutted for you but was it stills under 3 years old your car ? And did you buy a replacement from them or a normal parts shop because they are very expensive even from a part shop
  10. Thank you gents for the info I can vaguely remember someone said they put a sticker somewhere. And as for the battery the bloke said they have gel in them these days for the stop start cars and if left for a long period they will just die. I didn't mention to him tho that the dealership where i bought it from serviced the car in the January and I bought it in the may so it has been left standing around for a while. Once again thank you all. now tomorrow I'll be looking in the boot for that sticker
  11. Good evening gents just thought I'd tell you about my 64plate 19k miles mk2 needing a new battery. The stop/start has never hardly worked,twice the battery has died whilst trying to start it in the morning on me so I thought while it's still under manafactures warranty I'll put it in and they did all the tests and said it needed a new battery and don't worry it's all covered by warranty i thought lovely. They did say it showed up lots of power related faults on their machine and now they have cleared them all for me. but when I took the car in I told the bloke i do!! not!!! want!!! the emissions!!!! recall fix done and he said fine no problem but please sign this form stating that, no problem i said and he even wrote it down on the job card and highlighted. Well having my car back it just doesn't seem right power wise, it's a 170 bhp cr diesel so what I'm trying to say is would they have done the recall behind my back ? Is there a way of knowing that if they done it or not ?.....
  12. Had mine done the company sent the bloke to my house ( Coventry to Cardiff ) which I was able to keep a close eye on the procedure and FairPlay I'm happy with the smooth and glossy finish it gives not to mention the size on the beads and blading I had the full treatment done the wheels seats and screen
  13. was they difficult to fit as I've just bought a full set from superskoda and I've noticed that there are no fittings in the bag for the fronts but there are two plugs things ( for drilled holes I think ) in the bag for the rear. Thanks bob.
  14. Thank you so much I did what you said to do and now my wing mirrors are working fine I haven't tried the windows yet to see if they all open via the remote control as it was pouring down this morning. Once again thank you
  15. how do I do the windows by manually opening them with the buttons then close with the buttons or close by the remote control ? any thoughts on my wing mirrors as why they don't fold in from of the remote thanks
  16. hi all ive just had to jump started my car for the first time due to me leaving the radio on from yesterday afternoon whilst cleaning the windows :( anyway I looked in the manual and noted that I have start stop my 64 plate mk2 and did what it said in the book by connecting the negative to the stump of metal like instructed all good boom straight away it started happy days i thought anyway I've noticed now that when I lock the car with the remote twice it folds in the wing mirrors well I did BUT NOT NO MORE!! :( and when I hold the unlock button only the drivers and rear N/S window opens :( ..what have I done guys to my pride and joy the thing is the mirrors still fold if I turn the knob from the inside of the car the car is still under warranty but have I done something terrible that they will say sorry you its your own fault.my stop start has been intermitted lately so whilst I went out on the a little run today I didn't have much opportunity to stop at lights and the car didn't do stop/start when I did stop have i made a massive problem for myself now ? your knowledge will be very much appreciated guys.thanks
  17. Funny enough I want my small display to read mph and to do this I have to plug something into the car and change country to Australia so with you in Australia I'd change it to a European country that may help
  18. Just an update went for a drive today on the motorway and FairPlay they do exactly what they meant to do
  19. just bought a set straight from the manufactures heko £40 fast delivery 3 days (ups) and very good packaging straight from Poland.fairplay they look like a nice addiction to the car fitting them was easy as they have a video on their website but that's as far as it goes because I haven't been out in the car to test the noise situation but one thing was tested was the folding of the mirrors and it was fine yes they touch the wind deflectors but that was all no crushing which I was relieved to find. this link is for my estate tho http://www.e-heko.com/en/Marka_Model/SKODA_SUPERB/4db7b0c531021.html?search=product&cg_2=19398&cg_3=19403&cg_4=18801&string=
  20. I've just had to do this and I googled hunter Hawk eye and thought I'll have that done and noticed kwik fit do it so I had it done keeping a close eye on the fitter and the computer screen the rear was fine but the front was well out which I didn't notice especially hands free on the motorway for a moment so they were charging me £49.99 just for the front or!!!!!! I could buy a insurance with it for a extra £50. And that means I had all 4 set all the same degrees and cause of that Insurance it means I can now go into there and have my wheel alignment checked and adjusted eight times but it only lasts for two years and it doesn't matter if I have my tyres changed they will still honour it it goes by the reg / owner and I can have this done at any kwik fit nation wide. So that'll be me every quarter popping in and having them checked especially as I never noticed the front are you way out
  21. exactly what I thought mate the seller had such bad reviews and I was cautious about buying one but he proved me wrong and your so right about the lip on it and that's why I didn't want a original one because they don't have that lip. £28.49 well spent I think especially when it comes to going down the tip with my grass cuttings and all the other stuff lol.
  22. evening gents ive just bought myself a boot mat of ebay and fairplay its spot on it fits well and it was a bargain £28.49 took less than a week for delivery http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-SUPERB-2-II-3T-Estate-2009-onwards-Rubber-Boot-Mat-/181961658568?roken=cUgayN via @eBay_UK
