Hi there, really not sure on this aspect. I've not placed an order as yet but will have a further look before I do. The ones linked in my message further above seemed to be the ones that appear the best option, but without seeing them, can't be sure.

Possibly these (although maybe a bit naff lol) https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvCLQi3 And this centre console tray.. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHgmcTH Cheers

Hi, this is the one I have in my basket just now, my Superb is a 2014 FL so I'm thinking this should be correct? https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJUWAaf There's others on the site, all quite confusing, some seem much cheaper and others seem to have different shipping options. I guess I just have to bite the bullet and try, I've got a few other things in the basket and all well under the £135 value for customs for a single order... cheers

Thats interesting and a timely post as I have some in my basket on Aliexpress but not purchased as yet, they all look much the same. I've never used AliExpress and have heard about folk being stung by customs, but I believe if the value is below a certain figure you don't get charged. One aspect not mentioned in the linked post is the actual fitting procedure, assume you have to remove the mirror glass to then strip down the mirror housing - how easy is it to pull the mirror out....anyone have any tips or a guide ? Cheers

I've had a fault with the right rear parking sensor for a while and finally investigated assuming it was a dodgy sensor or corroded connector but it turns out to be a one of the wires has been nicked or rubbed through... I'm thinking about cutting out this bad section and soldering fresh ends together, with a short piece of wire if needed to make up the length...I assume that should work pending no other breaks in the wire ? Failing that, does anyone know the part number for the loom ? I've had a search of the forum but couldn't find any previous reference. Thanks Dave

Interesting thread, when my 2.0TDI (CFFB engine) slave cylinder failed, the pedal stuck to the floor and there was quite a bit of fluid leak from the bellhousing. Bugger of a job on a 4x4 with extra labour to dismantle....I'm hoping to run the car a while longer and just hope I don't have this issue again.... ££££££ !!!

It might be worth asking around in case its a batch of contaminated fuel...? Seems odd how after re-fuelling you suddenly have an issue. Its not unknown for fuel stations to have contaminated fuels with water, or fuels getting mixed up at tanker delivery stage. Also, if run very low you could have pulled dirt/air into the system, maybe needing filters changed and purged of air...?

This happened to my 2014 Superb and was early failure of the clutch slave cylinder. I noticed the clutch seemed to be slipping for a few days before then one morning the pedal dropped to the floor and clutch operation failed. Required new clutch, slave cylinder etc @ 4 years old.... There was quite a lot of fluid loss present when the AA guy turned up, had to be recovered to the garage for repair.

Definitely sounds like the normal regen process. You can actively monitor your regens and DPF health via your phone (if keen!). Get a Carista or similar OBD reader and plug it in to the car. Download the VAG DPF app and connect it up via bluetooth to your reader. I found this link quite informative... https://www.hypermiler.co.uk/dpf-diesel-particulate-filter/vag-dpf-review-andriod-vag-dpf-monitor-app I try and allow my car to fully complete the regen process each time, not sure it makes a difference but I'm an engineer with OCD and it just seems like the right thing to do lol... Cheers Dave

Looks like the Haldex coupling unit or differential. Seems a bit caked ? I'd maybe give it a good clean and then monitor for evidence of any leaks. When you mention oil change, I assume engine oil and not the Haldex fluid ? Might be worth checking when your Haldex was last serviced if you don't know the history. They need the fluid, filter changed and pump strainer cleaned every 30k. Cheers Dave

Hi folks, Another gremlin this morning , seems to be related to the driver door, locking seems to randomly lock/unlock. After a few seconds the fob will eventually allow the car to unlock. I can then get the door to lock and it seems to stop cycling. Aware of the drivers door wiring loom issue and will check this out, however I have pulled the code 01038 Central Locking Thermal Protection. Just wondered if anyone else has had this, and whether it was related to the loom or door lock actuator ? These things always come up just before going away on holiday, don't want to be stuck 😱 Phoned local dealer this morning (Ingram Ayr) in the hope of some assistance but they were no help at all, earliest diagnostic booking was August due to lack of diagnostic techs ?!

I tend to run 2.4/2.5 on the front and around 2.8 bar on the rears. This is a compromise between the pressure when lightly loaded or fully loaded. Its definitely helped my tyre wear over the years when combined with a 4 wheel alignment. I got 30K miles out of my last set of CrossClimates and that was with 2 - 3mm left. Is yours an Estate ? I had one pair or rears wear down badly on the inner shoulder, new tyres and a 4 wheel alignment sorted that out, been fine since then. Cheers

Hi, Just checking, was it the BA15S bulbs in your Ebay link that are the correct ones ? Thanks

Hi, Just to note your car will be Gen 4 Haldex at 2014, same as mine. Definitely worth keeping an eye on any further codes and to get the filter swapped out at some point, along with pump strainer cleaned. Cheers

I thought the interval was 30k, however I'm possibly wrong... Skoda don't do it right no matter if you follow their service schedule 😠 In any case, and going by experience and also from others reporting similar issues, reducing the interval to 20k or 2 years should drastically reduce the pump failure issue. The other weak point is the Haldex ECU which corrodes over time due to exposure to the elements underneath. This causes water ingress to the PCB and corrosion and then faults, its almost unavoidable and time/environment related. I am trying to get this sorted on mine just now and will report back in due course. Cheers
