I am very impressed, I must say though I do miss the skoda. The gearbox was better in the skoda

It's a sad farewell, after 9 years and 165k miles of faultless driving the old girl, a Superb 170 Combi has been retired (from this household anyway). She has been replaced with a Volvo V90. She will always have a place in my heart ❤️ Just a shout out to this forum, its a great site, really helpful when help was required and just a good place to be to catch up with what was going on in Skoda world. I'm sure our paths will meet again in the future. 😁

Great job 😀

Did you do all the work yourself?

I have a 2013 Superb 170 elegance estate, 158,000 now, the only things I have ever changed DSG temp sensor door loom rear track rods only one set of brake pads (disks are original) several broken springs! and that’s it. i’m surprised, it’s been a great car but now in a dilemma. Do I keep it for a couple of years but if I do will need the following front and rear suspension (shocks, springs and maybe arms) Brake disks / pads front and rear rear boot electric strut drivers seat just starting to wear through now, will need stitching. not Sure on DSG, running ok but not sure if there is a risk of something breaking (any thoughts welcome) Stereo speakers sound horrible wheels look terrible I am reluctant to spend circa £20k on a replacement, happy to spend some on wear and tear items but the DSG is a concern and I believe if that goes it’s going to cost. Nothing obvious but I’m worried. any thoughts?

No issues with mine, some creaking but used a silicone spray and now ok

After some investigation work it appears that only one is not working, I may buy one from Ebay and see what happens

Thought I would ask Skoda for a quote, now we know we can get an after market pair for c£200 from Ebay. Well Skoda quoted £479.............EACH!!!!!!!!!😬

Lutz, just watched your video. Very imformative

Hi my Electric tailgate struts have given up the ghost. Any recommendations on where I can get replacements at a reasonable price? Thank you

Thank you gav_is_con, maybe a little way out but worth noting thank you.

Can I have recommended VAG Specialist / independants in Leicestershire. Car needs DSG oil change and do not want to pay Dealer prices, I would also like a trusted dealer for future work. Thank you

I had the same thing, I found that the air vents were making a lot of creaking (in my case) noises when cold, its interesting that when you think you know where the noise is its in a completely different area! . I have sprayed all the vents (where it rest against the dash) with a spray grease and know more noise. In fact I use spray grease for any creak and rattle and it works a treat.

Yep, it appears to be a power thing as the speaker does not work or mirror in that door, although no other window works either!

All my windows have stopped working however the drivers window is open and I am unable to close it. Is there a way I can manually close it for tonight? Thank you

Thanks for that, I thought I could just get the rubber but it appears not. Will ring Skoda next week

Any idea where I can get these from? I am missing one side from the boot lid. The number inside read EPDM59 but does not appear to relate to anything

Turned out to be rear off side spring. All done at local garage for £90 all in and all is nice and quiet again. Thank you

Hi can anyone help. My boot sounds like it is full of crockery! Every time I hit a bump I get this load sound as though I have loads of plates stacked. I have removed the tyre and anything else that may make a noise. I wedged the boot lid and put some cloth over the stops yet this has not helped. It has only just started and rather quite sudden! Any ideas? Thank you

Thank you, there just is some confusion some state the PY21W and others the RY10W. I guess ill have to have a look :-) Thank you

Can someone confirm the rear indicator bulbs required on a 2013 pre-face lift Combi? If I search it comes up with P21W and/or RY10W, will they both fit? Thank you
