Heater Blower Motor or Resistor?
Can confirm, settings 1 2 and 3 stopped working on ours, but 4 was fine. Replaced the resistor with a genuine Valeo for less than £20. All good now!

What a motor. Hats off 👌

Bluetooth Audio has stopped working
A grand + is insane!!! Surely a breakers / eBay or somewhere would have one for a fraction of the cost? Just search the part number and make sure they match.

Gearbox oil change - manual
I'm pretty sure there will be a drain plug? Have you had a look? Capacities will be somewhere between 1.8 - 2.2 litres. You may need to get googling. Start off by finding your gearbox code and go from there

That's interesting. I'll have a look at that - thanks @chimaera Heres a question, Should I be able to grab the wiper and move it ?

Evening, As per title really. Has anyone had any experience of this? The latest one went within a day of use. Quite frustrating! Cheers

Spacers Superb 2
I have 10mm spacers, but that was to correct the offset of a set of wheels that I liked. Theres no binary answer to this.... lots of factors. Probably a good plan to do your research and gain an understanding of the process. Random opinions on a Skoda Superb forum are probably less useful to you. Find a suspension/track/race specialist and give them a phone call.

Tyre Replacement Advice
Also, regarding the tyre pressure.. definitely wise to have a play around. It's always a 'range'. Find the sweet spot for you. I run higher on my winter set (35ish) because they have a taller sidewall and generally soak up the bumps better. My summers are bigger with a lower profile and respond better to 32ish. Obviously all tyres naturally have varying degrees of sidewall stiffness so yes, horses for courses with pressure.

@muppix Yeah that's fair. The inner cracking is really strange and for sure worse than the outer shoulder. Looking at your outer shoulder, I think you're probably a year ahead (worse) than ours. I'll be taking these off and storing them over winter. I'll take a picture before and after they go into storage to gauge if they get much worse. I haven't noticed any delamination whatsoever on the inner shoulder but I'll check this afternoon and report back.

Tyre Replacement Advice
I'm guessing you meant Primacy 3? Yes one of ours is going slightly that way, but I've been to 3 independent tyre places who have explained that the tyres are safe to drive and the tread cracking like that is cosmetic, but to keep an eye on it. Sidewall cracks are a different matter. Believe me, I'm as big a worrier as the next person but after looking into the way tyres are constructed and speaking to people in the trade my mind is at rest. The outer treat is a completely different component to the rubber/compounds which make up the structure of the tyre underneath. It's literally 'stuck on'. Go to your local trusted tyre place and have a word to put your mind at rest either way...

Remap in North Yorkshire/ North East.
Another one for Big Fish. Had our Superb and Yeti mapped there and a friend had his Fabia Vrs engine and gearbox mapped. Don't think twice!

VCDS adaptations for Superb 2 /FL
Hi guys, I've been having a search around and it seems that most of the Skoda models have their own VCDS Adaptations thread, but I can't find any specific to the Superb 2? Some of the coding is obviously slightly different between platforms so I've had difficulty with a few things posted specifically for different models. Pointers to any threads I may have missed would be much appreciated.

My Greenline 3 in Storm Blue
Shots after a full paint renovation and detail. The car was a cosmetic mess when i bought it as an ex fleet car. The paintwork probably looks better than new now!
