Cheers John, my car allowance has been going in my pocket for a while, but that time is coming to an end if I do not get an eligible car, so realistically I need to get an electric co car since this Superb will be told old given our company rules. So a sale is needed with regret. I cannot afford an equivalent nearly new superb unfortunately.

Hi all, am looking for some valued opinions beyond the online valuations. I'm having to let my beloved L&K go due to Co Car policy. She's close to 98k miles, but running great with FDSH inc belt/water pump service last year and tracking done 12m ago. Still delivers 700-800 miles per tank with long term 'onboard' efficiency of 57-59mpg. Everything original, no modifications, no accidents, no rust, not engine mods etc. Alloys will benefit from a refurb, but that's it. What with inflation and varying views on EVs, what do you think this car is worth. It won't be a trade in because we're all moving to salary sacrifice lease at work. Thoughts appreciated.

A bit late to the thread, but wondered if it was a DPF cycle clean, engine details weren't specific.

Probably best moving to the MK II forum if it's a 2010 model

Got the same problem myself on a 2017 SIII hatchback. A friend of mine was able to fix it late last year with a tiny hook tool but it went again. It's quite clear that there is a latent defect with this part of the car based on the frequency of comments and I am skeptical about the dealer's lack of awareness. My friend said he didn't want to touch it again in case it is a sign of the internal mechanism going brittle and breaking completely. I have an extended service due in approx 1k miles so likely to ask them for a look and see what the £damage is before doing much more. Mind you, who knows how long it will take me to do £1k miles right now.
