Took it to kwik fit who have the hunter equipment They contradicted what halfords said. Kwik fit said the front was off but the back was fine. The chap at halfords said if you adjust the front it throws the back off. So i just got the front done. Cost £65 took 5 minutes. Halfords said i needed to get whole rear alignment replaced So don't know who is right I did get a fancy looking print out with the allignment though. Thanks

Hi folks just put my skoda superb 2012 1.6 tdi in to get the wheel allignment done Halfords said they couldn't do the job becuase the rear wheel allignment is totally corroded/siezed. I think the mechanic said something about bushes/camber bolts. Apparently it needs cut out and replaced Has anyone had to have this done? Any idea what is involved? Expensive? Many thanks

Hi I use my skoda suoerb to sleep in etc and the interior rear light is quite handy Anyone know how to keep it on? At the moment it goes off after about 5 minutes. Just wondered if it's possible to override the timer and keep it on Thanks

Thanks guys will give this a shot Superb when you say a hammer and chisel, is that when you cut a small notch in the head of the bolt, then put the chisel in the notch and hammer it to try and turn it? Thanks

Thanks Chimera I wish I had bought the bits myself !I took it the garage down the road who said they were happy to loosen the bolt for me. Expect the mechanic ha's gone and totally stripped the little teeth from the inside of the bolt head. He was apologetic and said they were not really designed to come out?! Anyone any ideas as to how I could get this bolt out now? The mechanic said blow torch it and try vice grips on it. Would soaking it in wd40 do any good? It did seem very stiff when he was trying to loosen it- he said that was due to 'loctite'. I was thinking of using an angle ginder to cut the bracket off. That would at least free the seatbelt/seat just now and it would just leave me with the problem of removing the bolt. I can always get a new seatbelt bracket from a breakers Thanks

Yeah taking the whole seat out. Just need to source the screwdriver bit for the bolt - it seems an unusual size. Perhaps a friendly car garage will loosen it for me :-) Thanks

Cheers chimaera Got that bit done! You also need to remove a bolt which attaches the center seat belt to remove the bigger seat don't you? If that's the case I'll need to nip to screw fix as the bolt head is a big 12 point thing and I don't have the correct bit. Thanks!

Just getting around to this and must admit I'm struggling! I can only see one bolt. Photo attached. Is this the one that needs to come off? Thanks in advance ! Douglas

Cheers chimaera The boat floor essentially spreads the weight The issue is the seats being pushed downwards against the car floor/seatbelt parts etc I don't really need it to be level,so if I can whip the seats out easily enouhgh that should do the trick nicely :-)

Yeah it's a folding rib that just squeezes in Sheet of plywood would really change anything I don't think as the issue is the weight of the boat resting on the rear seat backrests and damaging them.

Thanks very much for the tip :-)

Hi all I fairly regularly carry a boat and an out board engine in my skoda with the back seats down. The weight pressing on the seat is damaging the leather. I'd rather remove then when I'm carrying heavy loads. Does anyone know if it's a simple enough job and how long it takes? And how you actually do it? I know how to remove the bit you sit on. It's the back rest part I'd also like to remove. Thanks in advance Douglas

Hello Just purchased a 2012 skoda superb greeline se and very happy with it. However i miss sat nav and bluetooth. Is it possible to upgrade the touch screen with one that has these features? If so does anyone have any recommendations? My existing touchscreen has a phone button but it just seems to mute the radio? Thanks

Hi. Just purchased a 2012 skoda suberb greenline se. It was that or the passat but the skoda was a bit cheaper :-) V happy so far!
