Having had a Superb 3 SLE Estate and a Superb 3 SLE Saloon car I can say that both the boots are vast. The only difference is as you have said, the vertical height at the rear of the vehicle. I have only had one occasion since moving from the Estate to the Saloon when I wished I still had the extra height and that was for an exceptional load. If I get another Superb it will be another Saloon and not an Estate. Unless you are going to be using the extra load carrying capacity frequently I would say just go for the Saloon.

Take it in any case. If they don't fit you can always sell them on ebay.

I have this bumper protector and found it to be a good fit. It comes in a selection of styles which can be found when you click on the one you want and scroll down to Options RGM Rearguards | Carnoisseur

My previous Superb SEL Executive had the Columbus as standard. My new Superb SEL does not. The Columbus has a built in Hard drive for storage of maps, movies, music etc. It can also play movies. It can play CD's and DVD's. The Hard drive has two slots for SD cards. I would say that none of the above are "must have" items and I could not possibly justify the additional cost to have them

Why not ask the person who is selling it why its cheaper than other vehicles of that age. If you have any concerns just walk away otherwise you will for ever be worrying about what is wrong with it and expecting something to happen.

It may be that he has piggy backed off the rear wiper fuse for the power supply and the piggy back fuse holder is either faulty or not fitted correctly. If I remember correctly it is fuse No 39.

Try Fuse 27 for the interior lights.

If there is any doubt why don't you email or phone Skoda Customer Services and ask them directly what is recommended.

Have a look at this link https://www.whitedovegroup.co.uk/skoda/offers/cambelt-change/3010/offerdetail.aspx#:~:text=Reviews-,Cambelt Change,could cause a costly repair. ŠKODA UK recommends that all timing belts are replaced at 4 year intervals. If your car has not had its timing belt replaced at the correct interval this could cause a costly repair. A cambelt failure causes major internal damage to your engine requiring the cylinder head to be removed and bent valves replaced. The cost of a cambelt replacement is £429.00 Inc VAT. We've also got an excellent offer on Cambelt + Waterpump of £529 inc VAT.

Have a look at this thread.

I complained about the state of the rear brake discs on my Superb which had only done 18,000 miles and the Main Dealer service manager replied in writing "I can confirm that there is some, if not considerable signs of scoring on the brake disc surface. This is the result of corrosion on the disc however this is not adversely affecting the overall performance of the brake discs and as brakes are subject to wear and tear in the nature of their operation again we are unable to replace these under the Manufacturer’s Warranty". This was despite their own mechanic stating there was plenty life on the brake pads and are showing little sign of wear. The Service Manager refused to elaborate on how a scored, corroded brake disc does not adversely affect overall performance in comparison to a brake disc that is not scored and corroded. The rear discs are obviously made of poor quality steel. I should add that the Service Manager is an abbreviated Richard or in other words, a ****!

Depending on where you live you may find that your local Skoda dealer is doing repairs on vehicles that are used by NHS staff and other key workers. If you either check on your dealers website or give them a call they may be able to assist.

I very much doubt that Skoda can hold any person who is no longer in lease to the terms they have stated. It is Skoda's responsibility to uplift the vehicle at the end of the lease. It is their problem if they can not do that. The leasee is under no obligation to do any of the things Skoda are asking them to do... unless of course they want to enter into a storage contract with the leasee and pay them accordingly.

Thanks for that update. It is not to allow the ex- leaser to leave it on the road who has absolutely no part in its upkeep etc after the lease expires, it is to allow VW Finance to leave it on the road. I would take as many photographs/video as possible recording any marks/damage etc and more importantly that there are no marks or damage then I would park it well away from my property so that it is absolutely clear to anybody that I am not responsible for it. Do VW Finance expect you to hold onto the keys or leave them in the vehicle or post them to VW Finance.

Tell them you will be parking it on the road and reporting it to DVLA and the Police for being an uninsured and untaxed vehicle if the are not happy letting you use it at no cost. DVLA will happily uplift it and crush it for them!

Ok, that's possibly why he needs to know, what about why he can't measure it himself?

OK, I'll ask even although I know there must be loads of you who are dying to know but are too shy to ask.... Why do you need to know the diameter of the brake fluid reservoir cap and why can't you just measure it yourself?

If you are a self confessed "control freak" remember you don't have to use ACC , you could control the car your self and actually drive it.

I have an SEL Estate and there is no wind noise. Get it checked out

See this thread

Which is why I said:- "Avoidable would be for example driving deliberately into a large body of water. This could be considered as reckless and avoidable. If you were able to prove that your father was in no position to either know about the flood and/or could not avoid driving into it you may be successful in claiming".

You might be able to claim your car insurance for the damage if you have fully comprehensive insurance which has flood damage included however it will depend on how the Insurer assess the damage was caused. They assess flood damage as being either "Avoidable" or Unavoidable". Unavoidable would be for instance your car being parked over night and a flood happening over which you had no control. Avoidable would be for example driving deliberately into a large body of water. This could be considered as reckless and avoidable. If you were able to prove that your father was in no position to either know about the flood and/or could not avoid driving into it you may be successful in claiming.

Another thing to check before restarting the engine. If it cut out while still in the water and depending on the depth you might find that there will be a load of water in the exhaust system that will need to be drained out other wise it could stop the engine from running due to the combustion gasses having no way out.

I don't use one of these so have no idea if this will be the problem but do you have a vent in the Adblue bottle or the hose to allow air into the bottle to replace the fluid when it is draining out. If not it might be causing a vacuum and that will stop the flow from the bottle.

You would be wasting your time complaining to Skoda if the dealer won't fix it under warranty. I made a complaint to them regarding a warranty problem and Skoda replied "Each retailer is franchised and have their own warranty clerk on sites to make decisions on the vehicles that are brought into them. Customer Care are not in a position to overturn any warranty decision"
