  1. Hello fellow Superb owners, My 2017 2.0 TDI 150 manual Superb estate has been having an issue with vibrations that I can't figure out... Lately I seem to feel a lot of engine vibration through the steering when under heavy-ish load but since this comes mostly at higher speeds I took it to get the wheels balanced, steering aligned and tires rotated back to front. The next day I drove a long distance and got a little enthusiastic on the highway (and also wanted to check for the vibration) and was surprised to see that there was a lot of vibration coming from what seemed like the front right side. I could feel it somewhat in the steering (but nothing like when wheels are out of balance) but my wife complained that she felt it quite a lot (left hand drive). This happened at speeds of ~140 km/h and higher but mostly under heavier engine load AND turning right (when the weight is lifted from the right side). In fact, on a straight downhill I took the car to 180 km/h and it was super stable, so the issue is somehow related to engine load and right cornering, as I don't really notice it otherwise in contiguous stretches of highway. I have driven fast before in the same highway, about 8 months or so ago, and the car was super fine. One thing I also noticed, but possible totally unrelated, is that I hear a loud clicking from the front end, mostly when changing from reversing to driving forward. This noise was not there when I got the car, only for the last 3-4 months. The car is still under warranty but I don't know if this issue could be covered, whatever it may be. I never hit any pothole or sidewalk or anything like that that could damage a wheel/rim (apart from the "normal" road unevenness, sewer covers, etc.), so I don't suspect damage. What then could this due to be in such a new car?
