Thanks to all that replied and yes I did search on here for similar threads and believe me I've read them all too ! However my inital question was related to the cars axle loads and selecting the relevant eibach pro kit , I've found out via the sticker inside the drivers door that my cars axle load is 1060kg rear and 1080 kg front . I've changed my mind somewhat on the pro kit as I'm concerned that it will be too stiff and harsh for the roads here that we travel on . Thanks to your suggestions I have decided to go for the koni special active or the bilstein B6 dampers , from research and reviews they seem to be similar enough in terms of handling and comfort . I'm having some trouble locating front koni,s though ,there seems to be a shortage of supply in Europe for them for some reason .

Mine doesn't have dcc so i dont have your problom ,I believe bilstein have an electronically adjustable damper available though which is a direct retrofit .could be pricey though! ,Or you can get a dcc delete kit ?

HI, Just noticed the rear shocks are leaking on my 2017 sportline estate , 2.0 tdi 190 2wd. Bit surprised as it's low mileage and doesn't getting any ragging but however .. Always disliked the suspension setup anyway so thinking of upgrading it all . Just wondering if anyone has any experience of the eibach b12 pro kit on their superb ? Also looking online is seems it's the E90-79-012 -02-22 KIT should be correct for my car ,but it has 3 options depending on the max front axle load, kit ending in 02-22,(1075kg) 03-22(1120kg) and 04-22(1200kg) How do I find out which kit is correct for my car and in reality what difference would it make ? All 3 kits are rated for the same rear axle load (1253kg) which I thought would be more relevant than the front axle ? All 3 kits are suitable for the car according the technical data? Any other suspension options people would recommend? Also had a look at the kw comfort coilovers which seem good ? Not looking for much of a drop if any at all ,even a set of good dampers would suffice .

Hi John, Welcome to briskoda from a fellow countryman . Sounds like we have the same car, mine is manual instead of dsg though.

Sorry your quotes seem to have got mixed up with my post ,trying to post on the phone here.

Many thanks for the reply , sorry I hav,nt checked in on the thread in the past while . My issue sounds identical to yours , sometimes a tight point develops in the lock mechanism and the handle is pulled too vigorously by someone opening the door and the handle pops out like in the picture below. When I remove the handle and relocate in its correct position it might work fine for a day or two but the same tight point returns eventually and the handle pops out again. My next step is to remove the door card to see can I find any part dislodged or broken in the lock mechanism but if I could find out what may be the problom is beforehand I could order the parts before stripping down in the first place . Or if there is an adjustment to be made if I could get a technical bulletin on what the procedure to do so ? I'd go to my dealer but they are all closed up at the moment so that option is out for now !

Car is 2017 superb mk3 sportline. My passenger side front door will not open from the outside ,the handle will pull out about half the normal travel and then gets very stiff ,If I pull harder I think I will break something! Opens fine from the interior though,Ive taken the exterior handle off and sprayed some spray grease on the mechanism but made no difference. Anybody have this problom ? Will I have to remove the door card to see what's up ?

Just to close this out and for information for others it turned out that it was indeed a faulty water pump . All fixed now and covered under warranty!

Hi , Today shortly after leaving her work my wife got an engine overheating warning on the central display . (Stop - owners manual) She would only have driven a couple of km,s or so in light stop / start town traffic from a cold engine start when the warning showed up . She immediately pulled over and stopped the engine and called me , I told her to restart and look at the temp guage , it was at approx 110 Deg on restart but quickly dropped to 90 Deg. The warning did not reappear and she continued on her way home ( approx 50 kms) with no further reoccourance. Also did a couple for shorter journeys this evening again with no problems. I've checked the coolant level and it is perfect , engine looks dry with no coolant leaks evident. Anyone any idea,s ? Would it just have got slightly hot whilst doing a regen? I'm also thinking maybe a sticky thermostat or an issue with the water pump? Car is a 2017 superb sportline tdi 190 2wd manual with 63000 kms that we have from new! 60k service only carried last week. Thanks in advance, Brian.

Hi, Has anyone recently experienced this issue or similar? My 6 month old sportline has developed this issue from the rear passenger vents only .( hot air regardless of the temp setting) It's been in to the dealers for a diagnosis, they have told me that the complete airbox assembly behind the dashboard to be replaced ! Apparently the part will take several weeks to become available as there is no stock of them in Europe atm . Not really happy with this at all given the amount of stripping that will have to be carried out on the dashboard and trim , I'm fearful of rattles and squeaks afterwards and possible trim breakage . Has anyone heard of this repair being carried out ?

In my case I would prefer without tyres . I'll send you a pm anyway.

Rims only or with tyres aiden? Give me a shout when they are available, I might have a home for them .thanks.

Hi , My 6 month old superb superb sportline has developed a hvac problom also , I have tri zone air conditioning and the rear passenger zone vents are blowing out hot air constantly irregardless of the temp setting on the rear display or whether the air conditioning is on or not. I also think the front air conditioning low temperature isint as cold now as it used to. Have tried everything in the settings Inc the reset as mentioned here to get it to work normally but to no avail , the central arm rest cooler box is roasting inside too even with the dial set to 0. Had it back to the dealer yesterday to diagnose ,they said there is a hvac fault logged but they have to get confirmation from skoda as to what to do to repair so I'm waiting for a reply from them . Not impressed at the thought of possibly having the interior ripped out to repair the problom at all.

For Ireland I would estimate 10 to 12 weeks from order to delivery, maybe a little less if you are lucky . You won't get much feedback from the dealers in my experience , maybe a phone call when it's off the boat in Dublin...

Beautiful car rob☺best of luck with it..

Could you let me know how you get on with them and what their fix is? I could go back with mine but I'm afraid they could make it worse ..

My car has a small but annoying rattle around the roof centre console control panel. Mine is a combi with panoramic sunroof so I don't have a sunglasses holder. If a place my hand on it when driving it disappears, it seems more pronounced when the roof is open on tilt mode also. Anyone with panoramic roof ever notice this on their car?

Really ? I'm sure I saw those supernova alloys on a display rack in my supplying dealer last January. I'm open to correction on that though! I have the carpro cquk kit for my car but have, nt had the time to apply it yet. There is a lot of preparation to be done to the paint before applying it and I have,nt had the time or the weather conditions to do it yet. I regret not doing it the day I picked it up tbh ,as time goes on the more prep work has to be done , detar , decontamination ,maybe light polishing in places to get rid of light swirling etc. It's probably two days work to do it properly at this stage ! Should be worth the effort though ,big fan of carpro gear myself ,any of their products I've used so far have been really good .

I've a combi but I have,nt tried putting my bike in it yet. ive a racing bike too . I'll try to fit this evening and I'll let you know .

Rob, If it was my car I definitely wouldn't let your dealer apply lifeshine or any form of Polish or wax for that matter. With the best will in the world they won't give your car the time and care it takes to apply a professional long life coating , more than likely apply without due care and attention and put swirls all over your paintwork. I would try and claw back the cost of the lifeshine protection from them and either go to a local professional detailer and get them to do a full protection detail or buy the products yourself and apply in your own time. I wouldn't even let them wash it tbh, I collected mine with some of the transport protective sheets still on the car.

Where you getting it remapped? Pm if you prefer ,thinking of going down that road myself ..

I've recently taken delivery of a superb 190 tdi in sportline spec . I'm more than happy with the performance of the 190 and that's coming from a 2015 golf gtd 184 bhp. It's longed geared than the golf was and the dead feel of the accelerator pedal is an annoyance but give it an open road and it's a really strong torquey engine ,it's really comes into its own at motorway speeds where I believe the 150 model begins to lag!

I nearly pulled the trigger on the dtuk CRD3 box for mine but baulked at the last minute after reading mixed reviews about them ,also being in irl is additional hassle if I had a problom in the future. Been in contact with Daltons.ie since though :-)

Increased sensitivity of the throttle pedal Controller 01- Engine 07 - Coding Byte 0, Bit 0-2, Change from Škoda (01) to AUDI (02) this will dramatically reduce lag on pressing accelerator pedal. Std: Change to: If like me and many other owners you think the std throttle response is pretty dead, then this will dramatically change the way the car drives, the power is now instant just like on other cars. IMO this is the best free mod you can do!
