Hi, I've found 3 possible suppliers for 5Q0907643F reference, but have no idea of which one is the most reliable: AIC, Vemo or Hella. Prices can be significantly different fo course Any advice or experience on these " suppliers? TIA.

140 looks a bit expensive. I've got my Meile kit (incl filter + drain plug) for ~ €105

Strange. When my sunroof is fully open, if I only close the sunblind, the sunroof automatically closes only 4" behind. Thus I couldn't vacuum the sunblind alone...

Well, when I went from my former Mk2 Estate (Elegance 2, just under L&K) to my current Mk3 Estate (L&K), I can't remember saying I miss something from Mk2, that Mk3 doesn't have 🙂... Of course L&K is more specced than Elegance 2 😉

Thanks for the tip. I'll have a look at it. But not sure it will be available on ours (VZ 245 Hybrid)

Hi, Unfortunately, I think there's a safety function that prevent the sunblind being closed while sunroof is open. Ortherwise, aerodynamic turbulence may damage the sunblind. The only option I'm thinking of, would be to use an air compressor (at low pressure) to blow the sunblind from the inside of the cabin from back to front and then vacuum the sunblind form the front edge

Really? My wife drives a Formentor since end of February, I didn't know that. Where's it 'hidden'? The VC has so much info on it... 😁

I've just ordered the Meile DSG oil kit (incl. filter + drain plug) to replace DSG oil on my DQ250. I should do it in August. I'll tell you thn if there's any difference. I've driven the last 58800km with a Mannol kit. No special difference to notice.

On Mk4, there is no hole, and hence no cap to fill it. It hasn’t been even planned.

You ´re right about toe off the accelerator. But I can get same average speed with ´normal’ driving on one hand and hit throttle and brakes on the other hand. It can’t be compared either… 😉 I can notice that almost every day on my trip to work.

While waiting to book an appointment for my Mk3 by my local dealer, I noticed a small step backward on Superb Mk4 Estate. The small removable LED torch in the boot of Mk3 doesn’t exist on Mk4. 🫤 Strange. A « simply clever » solution that disappears. I find this very useful.

With same driving style of course… 😉

ECO mode should help better scoring with its coasting function, shouldn't it?

Maybe I missed it, but you didn't tell us what engine you have. If a TDI engine VAG recommends a timing belt replacement at 210000km without time limit.

I think it may be the alternator belt which slides a bit. Maybe tension is a bit too low. I would bring it back to garage where it has been replaced to confirm this. It should be a 5mn fix if this is the real cause.

I had a similar message on my MY17 Mk3.

Do you mean... Considering the trip/journey you're doing the green score tells you "com'on guy, you could do better and save some more fuel" ? 100 being the top of the pop of eco-friendly driving... Is that what you mean? Sorry, if a silly question. Just to be sure I get it right without translation bias.

Oh, Interesting! I didn't know that. I had imagined that generic tools had access to car manufacturers databases and thus any fault code would be the same whatever the diagnosis tool... Thanks for sharing this! 🙏

Thanks for sharing your first feedbacks. Note that the é points above were already available on MK3. I have these on my MY17.

OK, but sorry, I don't find it:

I don't know if 272 or 280 TSI have the same coolant pump as TDI engines, but the latter ones have specific pumps. This kind of coolant pump is 'disabled' at the engine start to reduce the time needed for the engine to reach its optimum operating temperature. Then the water pump is activated to operate normally. But the drawback of such a technology is that several TDI have temperature issues with coolant pump stuck or being lazy to reactivate... I did have to replace mine at 62000km... 🙄 It's a known issue from Skoda.

Hi, Are you sure of the code? I've just been looking on the ross-tech website & forum and it's an unknown fault code. 🤔

My original one was a D version, which lasted 6 years. I had imagined the new one could last the same duration. Furthermore, F version was not available at similar costs. Shipping costs were up to 80% of the sensor price, especially if sold on non EU websites.... 😵 Currently, F version are available at more affordable prices... Additionally, it reminds me 2 sayings: - Experience is a light that only lights the path you've done. - Others' experience is a light that lights in your back.

Good news! The website had asked me to send my AQS back for quality control and expertise few weeks ago, which I did I've received an email today saying, I'm going to be refunded. 😃 I'm now looking for another brand new AQS corresponding to 5Q0907643F OEM reference. 😎

How old is your battery? A friend of mine had a similar problem in her MK3 Estate MY18. It was caused by a weak battery. Everything came back to normal once battery was replaced.
