  1. Same wind noise in my superb MY17. I've tried dealer, they changed window seal, since it was crooked, however exessive wind noise still there. Seems that they need to realign the door or change door seals. I will try to add more insulation at the door seal, if this helps, dealership will be approached.
  2. So my short story with dealer. - Send videos to them, told the circumstances; - They reply after 3 hours (quick enough) "We here the metalish clunk that should not be there, best technician will look at that next day"; - Next day "technician agrees with the sound, inquiry sent to SKODA"; - When I asked can I drive my car when you wait for the answer (indicated, it is dangerous, might broke down in few miles) - Response next day "We received answer from SKODA - normal operational sound"...."you can go with your car now"....; Still waiting from them the written answer and documents regarding that. What should I do next - sit and wait not a strategy , I do not want to get stranded in motorway with my 3 year old daughter waiting for help...
  3. Hi guys! Would you consider such clunking completely normal? And do not forget to guess what the dealership's opinion was. Superb MK3, 2017, 1.4tsi DSG around 60tkm on the clock. I'm from Lithuania. It happens when the care is driven for at least 15-20 min. And started to notice when it is really warm and sit in the traffic. Best regards! 20190522 201405-1.m4v 20190523 083644-2.m4v
  4. I cannot say all the S3 have those pads - two S3 that I maintain - 1.4 ACT DSG, 2017 similarly speced havr - I have no info about others and would not try to get that How I can tell these are ceramics: 1. I have unwanted experience from those with Insignia - after going with those, disc just doesn't look right (slight scoring, discoloration). 2. From the first experience - the working surface of the pad has brownish flakes (copper like), and when you sand them down on flat surface 80/120 gritt sand paper, you get sandish material and not black stuff from regular ones. 3. Both S3 after changing pads, discs visually look ok again, however more dust. OE pads have some ATE markings - didn't took the photo/didn't know that I will need those to prove something to strangers One thing that is different compared to Insignia, rear brakes seems to be running hotter in S3, and probably is using more material - might be the answer for them to be in S3 in the first place. This is only my experience/opinion, it works for me really well, I am happy with it Don't be afraid and try it, won't bite I guess.
  5. Well at least I haven't had such great experience with ATE ceramics, and as stated I put those on new ATE discs (It was Opel Insignia). 1. Almost no dust - there are dust but they are in white/sand color; 2. They do not bite like the simple pad does - try it on, you will immediately know what I am talking about - pronounced longer slide; 3. They score the disc eventually (I tried fronts and backs) and it does not look ok after a while. It goes OEM to Superb MK3 rears - one of the main reasons for scoring. I will not look to these any time soon.
  6. Oddly enough it seems to be the problem with the pads - factory ones are ATE Ceramic and those tend to score the disc - changed to trw GDB 1957, disc after a 100km city looks like you would normally expect, I mean equaly good as fronts. Ceramics - almost no dust.
