[SIII 2017 L&K 150TDI ~100k miles - what's it really worth?]

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.

[SIII 2017 L&K 150TDI ~100k miles - what's it really worth?]

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.

[Problem with Start Stop function]

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

[2.0 tdi non starter]

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

[Passenger side exterior front door handle problom?]

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.

[DAB Radio lost]

Had my Superb for three years and lost my DAB stations three times. This is the first time I have heard about water seeping into the antenna. Fortunately I have a final warranty inspection booked for next week. Will ask for a check. Thanks @yaggiboom

[Warranty extension due to CV19]

I received the following reply from Skoda when I raised a similar query about my own (closed) dealership/service centre:

 

"Any issues that would normally be covered by your warranty will still be covered provided you have reported the fault to your ŠKODA Retailer within the warranty period. If your Retailer is closed due to COVID-19 and so you cannot report the fault, we have recorded your notification and you now have a reference number which can be passed to your repairing Retailer when they reopen to accept bookings. However, please note, existing warranty periods will not be extended, also any warranty claim will be dependent on a full diagnosis to confirm whether the fault is warranty defect or not."

Finally I got fed up with the squeaky rear wiper, it was really driving me mad.

 

So changed it for a Bosch Aeroblade (A403H), £9.50 from a trader on eBay. 
 

The instructions  suggests it’s a 15 second job. And believe it or not, it was!

 

Just hope it cures the noise, if not it’s only £9.50..

 

Out of interest, the same wiper was on special offer at Halfords for £12.99 plus postage (or a special trip to a local branch to do click and collect..)

Well done. One of the best upgrades available

[L&K questions]

22 hours ago, paperclips said:

Was the heated staring wheel standard 17 onwards. 

 

I have a 2017 L&K and it doesn't have the heated steering wheel 😞

 

My next one will though 🤞

[Engine fan]

Definitely sounds like regeneration to me. I'm a high miler and its happening a couple of times a week too. You can generally tell its happening when start/stop doesn't work even though you know the car has had/is in the middle of a very good run.  The fan can also run on after stopping the car at home to complete the cycle.

[Subtle feature of Cruise Control]

Yep, it's good. Took me a while to learn/be aware of this feature. Agree with earlier post, it is a lot more noticeable on Sport vs Eco mode.

[Anything I should be looking out for?]

An open road and a nice discount 😀

[All 'set' DAB radio stations disappeared?]

This happened to me once in 18 months on my Superb Columbus system. Nae clue why

[Front Brake Discs and Pads]

What's the protocol when still inside warranty period. Would Skoda only be looking for OEM parts to validate any warranty issues with the braking system?

[Mudflap Fitting (guide with pics)]

Awesome guide. Thank you. Fitted all four today.

[Fabia MK3 not that common in the UK?]

Yep, got a good pre-reg 67 deal myself.  I'm seeing loads of Mk III 5 doors recently around Edinburgh too.

[Standard Style Spec question ?]

I had a Skoda Dealer "product genius" try to convince me that the rear wiper on the Superb hatch was a £100 option, he refused to accept that the brochure said it was an F.O.C. option and he couldn't be bothered to check.

 

[The Superb III Picture thread]

Still putting a smile on my face every time I drive it  

[Hi everybody!]

Hi there,

 

Just taken ownership of two 2017 Skodas for the house, a Fabia Colours Edition Hatch and a Superb L&K Hatchback. A great 

 

This will be my second Superb. Owned an Elegance Estate back in 2010 and it left its mark on me such that I bought the most recent hatchback without even test driving it.

 

Anyways, I was a visitor to Brisoda back in the day, but never signed up previously. No excuses now!!

 

See you around the Forums!
