First of all: Gentlemen, you are all gold! Even though, I have seen those numbers with genuine Skoda number parts myself, your analysis of the aftermarkets that cover each part helped me to figure out what I'll do. I decided to go with Bilstein, as those seems to have good feedback wherever I read about them. I chose 19-151069 for the rear damper vs 083, thinking that if it's used for the raised height damper version (and for one of the options for the standard height too), those should be good. Covers and bumstops also ordered. One question, should I replace the coil springs too? I don't want to replace the whole car and invest significant amounts in that car, but I don't want to be unreasonable too.

Hi, It seems that I have to replace dumpers in my 2015 3T Superb II Estate (CFGB, 4x4). The thing is that considering that it is a 4x4 estate with heavy duty suspension and also there are quite a couple of other parameters of the suspension @ etka, I have some trouble determining the proper part numbers for dumpers for my car. My codes are: 0YG (Weight range 7 installation control only, no requirement forecast), 1JB (Rear shock absorption, heavy-duty version), G56 (Shock absorption in front), PSW (rough road package). According to the above, it seems that front dumper should have the number of: 3C0 413 031 BB There are different manufacturers here: Sachs, KYB, TRW, Bilstein. Either one of them should be good, right? In relation to the rear dumpers, it is more complicated: In etka they provide two numbers: 3C0 513 049 BN for the codes of 0YB,0YC,0YD,0YE,0YF and 3C0 513 049 BP for the codes of 0YK,0YH,0YJ. The problem is that my code is 0yG, so it isn't listed by any of those - which number is correct for my car then? Moreover, both part numbers (either BN or BP) have very few hits in the online shops, just as they were not really common or discontinued or so. I only was able to find something exotic like dampers from trw, optimal, gabriel. Last thing: assuming tha the springs are not broken, what should be reasonably changed along with the dampers themselves?

So this one is solved. I have been to car electrician. He charged me ~35GBP for soldering one kessy wire and also to check the looms in other doors (they seem ok). As I thought, the door handle works ok (at least for now). This makes those Skoda Garage guys assholes since they have told me that they need to replace both the whole loom and the handle for... 510 GBP.

True, I have seen youtube videos, but I decided to leave it to pros. Also, I get the feeling that Skoda dealership was not right about the handle and if the loom is correctly repaired, the handle will work again. Will let you all know.

Another mystery solved: Skoda garage told me that they have checked and it is a broken wire by the body/door AND also the handle itself is faulty too. They gave me the numbers for all the wires for a whole passenger appliances: 3T1971121CM and told me that they don't repair broken wires but only replace the whole thing. Is this really a thing? It is not repairable? Also, they gave me a part number of my handle: 1K8837206H. It's quite expensive and when I searched for it in ETKA, it seems that the same was also installed in Golf, Passat B7 etc... If it looks the same, is with Kessy but has a different number does it mean that it will not work?

So couple of things has already cleared out. First thing is probably something that one has to get used to; the PDC/OPS is something I probably already have as most of time it works, so maybe that was a one time thing. Also, I have already bought a newer parkassist which is supposed to make sure it is even better, but I will also need MIB STD2 replacement for my RN315, the last thing was partially fixed by fixing some loose tube of something (I forget of what exactly)- it is a little better. The error codes have been reset and I will see whether they come back. Tomorrow I have an appointment at Skoda dealership for them to look into that passenger door kessy handle problem - I don't want to disasemble it all myself and I would like whether it is a handle itself or maybe wiring.

Sure I can. Find the log attached. Log-WWWW-TMBRF93T4F9055975-194160km-120645mi.txt

I dont have the option to give it back and the early S3 was priced around 20% more, so not really worth it in this case. I will get used to it. Now I have to see if I can replace RNS315 with anything better in terms of bluetooth streaming (RNS510 without much work obviously, but I dont know if it is better than rns315 in terms of bluetooth capabilities, or the mib std2 is the one- however it is quite expensive too). Also I have read the vcds errors and there seems to be something withx 4x4: 00003 and 02248 and also kessy: 1053195 and 1057803. I have to see what those are about.

Is there a possibility to retrofit the OPS in place of current PDC for reasonable amount of work and money?

Ok, the other two - hate it or love it, but that thing with PDCs?! Wow. I did not see it coming. Is there any way I can change that so the PDC warns me all the time - software/hardware-wise?

Hi, I switched from Octavia III (2015) to Superb II FL (2015), because I needed bigger car. Now, in O3 I had a 2.0 TDI with 150HP+DSG, with Superb I have 2.0 TDI 170HP 4x4+DSG. I have three remarks about the car and I wanted to ask you all if this is normal: 1. I get the feeling that Superb is hard to get moving, meaning I have to give it more throttle for it to even move comparing to Octavia. I know that Superb is heavier and supposedly it needs more juice to get all 4 wheels going, but is it really it? 2. So far there was one case when I tried to park and front PDC did not warn me about the obstacle, only when I stopped and put it in Reverse, it started to make a sound and showed that there is an obstacle. Just as the PDC would work only when the engine just started or in Reverse. In Octavia the PDC worked continously and I would expect the same from the PDC in Superb. Is it normal, maybe PDC is faulty or maybe there are some kind of settings? 3. When driving with a constant speed DSG puts the highest gear, so sometimes the RPMs are around 1000 and when they are there is unpleasant, low, vibrating noise like resonance, when RPMs jumps above 1200 it is back to normal. In Octavia I never felt this, even around 1000 RPM. Can you, veteran, let me know if the above are normal and I should get used to it or is there anything that can be done with those?

Ok, found myself an answer: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/376379-water-collecting-under-door/?page=1 . Shame I did not do it earlier.

Well, it was Skoda Garages which all quoted me separately the key and coding. Today I received the key. It has my car's VIN on the sticker and something in Czech, so it seems its all legitimate. It does not work though, the car does not react. I did nothing to try to get it working yet.

Hi, I am a new owner of a 2015 Octavia. Today, during heavy rain I notice that my car isn't waterproof. Actually, the front passenger doors arent. I noticed that there is a water spill on the rubber foot mat and it seems that it comes from the plastic of a doorstep. I took some pictures, which are below, to show the problem. It seems that water was flowing between the door body and the plastic, on the front, bottom corner. You can see that the plastic is wet there. I am wondering whether any of you had such problem? How water even got between the bodywork and the plastic of the doors? To find out I have probably to take off the plastics of the doors. Do you have any manual to do that? LINK TO GALLERY ON iMGUR

Sure, I recall that 17.1.2 was mentioned- it may be updated already. So the main question is "Is it possible via VCDS", so I should try to reach the man. Otherwise I won't bother and I'll have to go to skoda garage.
