My car (2015 same engine and gearbox) also does this intermittently. I think you would be very lucky to get to Skoda to cover any of this repair, unless a leak is found once they open it up. Are they quoting £1400 just for the clutch? Flywheel really needs to be done at the same time. You might get a much better price elsewhere. In. my case clutch and flywheel are the obvious answer, but as it is intermittent and the clutch is not slipping I haven't bitten the bullet as yet. I'm also concerned that I may do the above and it may not fix the problem. Keep us posted as to how you get on.

You will need thin trim remove Tools. Mask Blue area with tape in case trim tool slips and scratches plastic. Orange arrows, start here. Once this area is lifted you can slot a credit card in there to keep the gap where are you use your trim removal tools on the next next stage. Green arrows next. Blue arrow, trim just hooks under here, no prying required. It will then lift out allowing you to disconnect the two block connectors for the windows and mirrors. It is a tight fit but will pop up as you work your way around.

*common to both Saloon and Estate

Guys, despite what it says in the ad that is a Superb, I would have thought Superb owners would know that! And is the front door design not common to both?

One here in Dublin if you fancy a day trip.

Can you post a photo? Would have to be pretty bad for the whole door needing replacement.

So today I drove of a small branch, whacked the underside of the car, immediately dashboard light - Skoda oil sensor workshop! Took it to my local mechanic and sure enough the branch had whacked the connector and ripped out a wire. They were able to reconnect it but the block, which is part of the wiring loom is damaged. Light is off for now. Allieexpress to the rescue and a new block connector on the way from China for €5. Moral of the story, don't drive over a small branches!

Big fan of TW sealants too. So easy to use, cheap and last forever.

Both items you have a linked to are basically the same thing. Butyl sheeting that has to be stuck to the car. As posted above there is a ton of information on how best to reduce tire noise. The first step is to chose tires that have a low decibel rating. After that soundproofing the car.

Also don't be tempted by a cheap pollen filter, OEM or charcoal activated are best.

I also had the same problem after a few years, just stale bacteria in the AC system. I run an AC deodoriser spray but as I didn’t replace the pollen filter at the same time the smell lingered. So I removed the pollen filter and used a Maguires product, installed a new pollen filter and the car smells super fresh again.

We have two petrols and they both do it unfortunately.

Use white lithium spray grease. If you look under the car from behind each wheel arch you can see the bushes and you can reach under and spray them. In my car (1.4tsi) you can access the passenger side from the engine bay as well. Just saturate the bushes with spray.

Very easy to do yourself if you get tired of the noise.

They failed to make and install bushes that don't creak like crazy!

Mine and the wires car are 100% ARB's. Lubing them helps for a while. Crazy engineering oversight really.

Yes, it was an older one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI4nq_4bZlg&t=209s

That is disappointing to hear. Saw an Autodoc video where they replaced the bushings on an Octavia while on the car. I was hoping it was similar.

Still plagued by front suspension creaking coming from the anti-rollbar bushes. Greasing them helps for a while but would love a permanent solution. Does anyone know if the bushings are replaceable and if so is it a big job? Was thinking Polyurethane replacements which might be quieter.

Not many that are actually being driven!

Do you have to replace it with the same fancy glass? I have the non-photo chromatic and to be honest I've never missed it. Maybe that is a cheaper option, assuming it mounts in the same way.

You can request OEM glass if going through your insurance (assuming your policy has windscreen cover). It's more expensive for the insurer but you will end up with a better screen, some of the cheap stuff Autoglass and others use have optics and fitment issues.

If your local Indie will fit parts you supply just buy Brembo/Pagid discs and pads, should cost around €250 fitted or half of what a main dealer would want for the job

Aaaand it's back. 🥵

So the sound seems to be gone, even though I didn't find anything when I poked around. I did poke around between the screen and dash with a trim removal tool where the sound seemed to be, maybe I pushed whatever it was and lodged it in place? Will find out for sure if the screen is ever replaced. Fingers crossed it doesn't return!
