Need tailgate handle for superb hathback
Steviedakota replied to kacluk's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
As above, just fitted one and it works perfectly. -
What have you done to your Superb III today?
Steviedakota replied to boydeee's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Replaced the boot switch as the old one was acting up. The same switch failed on my wife's Superb about a year ago. Very simple job and part is available on Amazon for €20. -
Any high mileage TSI engines out there ??
Steviedakota replied to Pipes's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Our two 1.4's now 120K and 160k. Nothing unusual to report on either (touchwood). -
Boot not opening via handle
Steviedakota replied to Steviedakota's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Mine just failed yesterday, you can buy them on Amazon for cheap. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B1845DN9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details -
Cam Belt Change on WaterPump Replacement
Steviedakota replied to Winston_Woof's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
The water pump on the 1.4 TSI is that the opposite side of the engine from the timing belt so no, they wouldn't have replaced the belt while they were doing your water pump. -
Superb clutch judder
Steviedakota replied to Superbsport's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Mine was also intermittent, sometimes pulling away at first it was terrible, and other days nothing at all. Replacing the clutch and flywheel 100% solved it. A bit of shopping around and I got it done for €1000. It took two guys 1.5 hours to do, so if you find someone who knows what they're doing it, shouldn't be prohibitively expensive. The 1.4tsi 150 manual is a DMF. -
Cost of Rear Dampers 😳
Steviedakota replied to Pirate_Pete's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Say what? Link to whatever those are? -
Just replace mine but on a manual so can't really advise on cost but LUK is the OE and they are very good, and not crazy money either.

Steviedakota replied to Pirate_Pete's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
If they are non DCC that is way too much. Shocks are around €200 (Monroe) and fitting is straightforward. Should be more than €400. No need to bring this to Skoda, any independent can fix this for you. -
Manual box gearbox oil change
Steviedakota replied to simonpa's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Can't help with fill and drain on your engine, they are pretty easy to spot on my 6 speed manual (1.4tsi), but you're absolutely right it is well worth changing. I did mine a couple of years ago and it came out in pretty poor shape. Can't say I noticed much difference in quietness or shifting but it was good to know that it was back up to spec. -
My creaking was eliminated by spraying white Lithium grease onto the anti roll bar bushings (accessed from under the car behind each wheel arch). It lasts a while but needs redoing from the creak returns.

I had my TB changed at 5 years, 70k. I had a look at the old belt coming off and it looked brand-new. No sign of anywhere whatsoever.

Clutch pedal sticking down
Steviedakota replied to Sheriff's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Double checked with the guy who just did the flywheel and he confirmed it is outside. -
Clutch pedal sticking down
Steviedakota replied to Sheriff's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
As I understand it, unfortunately with this kind of problem you don't know whether it is the master or slave. Are you losing hydraulic fluid, can you see any leaks around the master? Worst case scenario you replace clutch, flywheel and slave find out that it was a master all along. I would be tempted to replace the master cylinder first which is the cheapest job. -

Just had my clutch and flywheel changed, was €1000 which was a very good price I think. Skoda wanted nearly twice that! -
Clutch pedal sticking down
Steviedakota replied to Sheriff's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Mine is similar age and mileage, was quoted around €400 for a new Master. The Slave is external on my 6 speed petrol, so not a huge job to replace. -
Clutch pedal sticking down
Steviedakota replied to Sheriff's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Have also had this a couple of times, a bit concerning, could be a failing Master or Slave, good luck and let us know you get on. -
Drive modes - what do they do?
Steviedakota replied to Steviedakota's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Played around with it yesterday, could not detect anything in relation to steering weight but think the car was quicker in sport, less eager to shift into Eco 2 cylinder mode. Can't believe it has taken me six years to start playing with this! -
In the infotainment settings under 'driver assistance' there are various 'modes' ranging from eco to sport. Mine has been in comfort from day one. Can anyone confirm if the sport setting makes any difference on a non-DCC, manual car? Not sure I can discern any difference.

New clutch time...
Steviedakota replied to Steviedakota's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Update: Just had new clutch, pressure plate, release bearing and DMF fitted today. Just under €1000 which I am very happy with. I had a good look at the parts and all three showed signs of wear, there was not much life left in the clutch at all. The mechanic was surprised that a petrol engined DMF would go, I suspect it may be down to the ACT as the engine is definitely not as balanced on two cylinders and that might put additional stress into the DMF. -

Thought about that, but a bit too far for me. -

I will pay your airfare to Ireland and give you two days free accommodation if you do mine for the same! 🙂 -
About to push the button on new clutch, flywheel and slave. Getting tired of the juddering in first. Have been quoted €1800 for new clutch and flywheel from Skoda or €1700 for new clutch, flywheel and slave from an Indy. (no idea what brand of parts) Anyone have any thoughts on those prices, I'm thinking of going with the Independent.
