I had to replace my front shock absorbers (DCC ones) at 96000km 10 months ago, because they were also starting leaking and would not have pass MOT. I´ve chosen to replace them like for like by OEM ones, whose reference is 3Q0413041AK (got it from the bill).

On my MY18, built in octobre 2017, it only coasts in ECO mode. Coasting is not available in Normal mode.

Otherwise, a pedal box seems to work much better.

@rbhelle What was the mileage of your Superb, when you changed the rear differential oil? I should change my Haldex oil within one year, I just ask myself if I change the rear differential at the same time🤔… Currently 116000km on the clock.

Sorry for you about this bad dealer experience. But one bad dealer and technician team doesn’t make ALL Skoda dealers bad, hopefully!

@leolito I need to check if they do have a specific P/N. But I think I did order them separately... Because I had lost 1 or 2 of them... Which colour are yours ?

Hi, I think they are the same. But not 100% sure. 🤔 If they are, it's located in the oil pan under the engine. it can be removed easily with only 2 torque screws (if I remember well) once undertray has been removed. BUT, you have to drain the engine oil first, otherwise, you'll be showered with engine oil. I had replaced it on my wife's Audi Q3 TDI150 (due to a misunderstanding of a fault code. the sensor was OK, but the harness had been bitten by a rodent 😬)...

Hi, I don't know how about hatch version. But on Estate, you have to : 1) Remove lights and boot button (if electric version). then unplug them (Use a flat screw driver to remove both lights and button. 2) Pull the lower trim straight (and strongly). It's simply clipped. Just on the top of my head, I think there are something like 8-12 metal clips al around. Using a plastic tool as a lever to unclips the 3-4 first ones will help. 3) The upper trim effectively has 2 torx screws. It should be T25 if I remember well. They're located on each end of the trim (being hidden by the lower trim, once reassembled). Remove them 4) Pull the upper trim straight (and strongly). There should be approximatively 8 clips For reassembly, there's no problem doing steps 3 & 4 in reverse order. After that, pay attention to align correctly both centering pins of the lower trim. They're located on each side and have to slide straight in both ends of the upper trims. Don't forget to make connectors for lights and boot button go thru their holes in the lower trim. Then just clip the lower trim all around and at each side of the rear screen ⚠️IMPORTANT NOTE⚠️: It's much easier to put the lower trim back in place, being helped by a pal. Otherwise, it's a PITA... You try to clip a side and the weight of the lower trim tiself unclips the other side 🤬. Both centering pins also make the operation harder... Finally put lights and boot button back in place and press all around to clip it correctly. Don't fogret both clips someehow at each side of the rear wiper motor. Done!

Hi, Is it the original one or has it been replaced? Indeed, I had bought belt extenders when I had child seats and they couldn’t click in center buckle On non OEM buckle, the shape of the metallic part may be different.

I do mine almost at the same frequency (45000km). It has the same amount of dirt on the strainer. Not that bad, but needs to be done, as you say.

Hi, It's an issue with the roll-back system. It's a PITA to fix it. Not that it's technically very hard, but it requires many hours of work since you need to remove the roof liner to get access to it. 😐

It was on this forum. Not the octavia one. I've read it too. It was DIYer job with wood and carpet I give it to you, not that obvious to find it back with such a title... 😁

If a MY17 (according to your profil), I would bet on a DQ380.

Fuel consumption with tyres has to be compared over a year or at the same period of the year, since it’s more sensitive to ambient temperature.

Is 2.0 TSI 4x4 already available on Superb 4 in your country? Lucky you!

I don’t think so. But I ´ll use my ‘joker’ and ask @ApertureS

I fear they’re standard white LED on MY18. Maybe it changed with FL versions. I let FL owners confirm.

It ain't a DQ200. AFAIK, DQ200 has never equipped Superb Mk3. DSG7 are actually DQ380 (or DQ381 if a 4x4 version) on Mk3. Their oil must be changed at 80000 miles instead of 40000 for most other DSGs. Additionally, I think it could be time to change your air and fuel filters. 🤔

Actually, they do. Especially the rear ones. They significantly reduce dirt projection on the bottom of the rear bumper, which has a long overhang.

Interesting... Thanks.

I would be very surprised that Skoda upgrade the 4x4 with a new generation Haldex on a model which is close to its end of life. I would better understand if Gen 6 were implemented on Superb Mk4... But who knows... 🫤 @leolito Here are the OEM references: Both Haldex pump seals kit: 0CQ598305 (approx €27 in february 2023). But my memory fooled me. Both screws to mount the Haldex pump back in place are not part of the kit mentionned above. They're sold separately. Ref N10554005. It seems they don't have to be replaced upon pump removal, since they don't figure on the invoice I've got. Nevertheless the draining plug and the filling plug DO have to be changed for new ones upon Haldex oil replacement. Draining plug: N91082701 (approx. €4.20) Filling plug : N90281802 (approx €4.80) Oil : G0600175A2 (approx. €49) Note: Haldex oil can only contains 850ml, while the quantity to fill in the Haldex is approximately 650 to 750 ml. Thus better check twice that the can is correctly filled when you buy it. Use the level indicator on the side of the can for that. It happened to me last time. Though bought by my local dealer, there were roughly 100ml missing in the brand new oil can. Also better avoid any spillage when operating.

When the Haldex pump is removed to clean its strain gauge, the workshop manual recommends to replace both pump seals as well as both retaining screws to fix the pump back in place. As far as I can remember, the price of this kit (2 seals + 2 screws) is not that cheap and the time required to remove, clean and put the pump back in place is more or less 45mn. Thus the price difference, you're pointing (between simple oil change and complete overhaul with pump cleaning) seems to make sens (at least to me).

Hi, There´s no plastic airbag badge on A-pillar trim of my L&K either, though there IS an airbag behind. There´s no reproach, only a kind advice for all who may be interested in installing a front dashcam .

It looks like you did not remove the A-pillar trim to route the cable. I hope I'm wrong. Because, it's quite risky. It may disturb airbag deployment in case of emergency. Removing the trim and fix the cable to the existing harnesses with tie-wraps would be safer. This may help:

Hi, What do you mean by roof rack? Roof bars or roof box?
