Also keen to hear of how you get on when you get a chance. I have had a very similar issue (along with what looks like a turbo problem...for my sins 🙄)

Hi there Liam Lynch Motors, Farranfore, Co. Kerry . So far they’re looking decent. My challenge is that I’m from Kerry, but I live in Kildare. I’m going to have to try and find similar up my way. I think I saw a recommendation for an independent Skoda specialist located in Blanchardstown. I may have seen it on the Facebook Irish Skoda Owners group. If I come across it again I’ll forward to you

More than happy to recommend, based on experience to date… Liam Lynch Motors, Farranfore, Co. Kerry

For a service that should be based on trust, it’s a shame some don’t subscribe to that view… On the flip side, after a white knuckle motorway ride across the country to south west coast early this morning with not one but three limp mode occurrences (all resolved by pulling in and just restarting) I went to another dealer, just to see if they’d read codes and let me know was it safe to return drive tomorrow. They were very helpful (as they had been at Christmas 2 years ago staying late to fix a non-closing boot hatch so we could return to Dublin). Results highlighted…..crankshaft speed sensor (!!) and lambda sensor. So…a clear hats of to @Crasher @petrolcan and @Warrior193

@Crasher and others...thanks a mill for advice. This site really is a fantastic resource. (Though it does raise some awkward questions about the competence of main dealer if I have to come here to try and get help to diagnose a troubled car....) Anyway, thanks again. Once I have job done I'll report back-hopefully positively!- to update info for others.

Hi @Crasher TMBKH7NP7G7027925

Very interesting @Crasher First time I’ve seen this suggestion come up. What’s next steps you think??

Never quite sure if it’s a gear thing tbh. The ‘jump’ is like a touch of the brakes, a sort of lurch. There’s no perceptible rev change. No grinding or strange gear shifts etc. And drives very smoothly between events. Or maybe that’s just blind optimism on my part…. 🤞

Dealer advised as follows: “Return flows on all injectors are excessive” and recommended replacement on what they termed a “high mileage car”. Noted Re: @Warrior193’s advice. Now need to learn the correct way to do this… Dont have VCDS unfortunately

For your sake and mine, I sincerely hope not. I am already down €2,500 for 4 injectors replaced…

@Warrior193 Thanks for feedback. Haven't tested battery while cranking yet; what should I be looking for? Re: crankshaft position sensor fault, I have seen this mentioned alright. Should I expect to see a fault code here if this was at fault?

Hi All, expertise of this group really needed... Superb Mk3 2.0 150bhp DSG. Diesel. 160,000 miles, 2015. Fully Skoda main dealer serviced since beginning, always at correct intervals. For a few months my much-loved Superb combi is cutting out, seemingly randomly. Can happen pulling away, driving slowly or more scarily as in a few days ago, while overtaking at speed. Dash lights up as per attached image. Generally engine management comes on, and occasionally the glow plug light flashes. Car will occasionally restart itself while driving (after a few white knuckle seconds), but always into limp mode. A pull in, switch off and wait 20-30 secs or so and a manual restart normally works fine , with ALL error lights cleared (now and again, it can sometimes struggle i.e. turns over but not catch; waiting for a minute or so will lead to successful restart, similarly all errors will clear). Perhaps noteworthy it has been eating oil for a similar period, about a litre per 1-2 tanks of fuel (500-1000 miles). There is a strong oil-like smell (though not a burnt smell) around the engine compartment and slightly in the cab. MPG feels low but driving is mixed urban. Most daily trips are 40-50miles return. OBD reader says no codes. Battery checked with multi meter (hour after stopping) and is 12.7v. Presumably related, the car can 'jump' abruptly when driving. Almost like the brakes were tipped, or hit a bump at speed. (This is normally a single event and doesn't cause a stall). Gear doesn't change or slip. Skoda dealer has replaced 4 injectors (at quite some cost) but the problem persists. They also examined the engine cabinet and reported no evidence of oil loss there. I really am at a loss, and now worried, particularly with no codes reported. Previously it might be once every week or two but its getting more frequent. Any and all insights and advice would be gratefully received.

@Brockysuperb Pulling up an old post here! What was the eventual solution to your issue? I appear to be having similar problems in my Superb Mk3

Thanks for replies, Folks, and apologies for delay; strange times... I’ve yet to solve this. I’m loathe to go pulling trim off just yet, so any additional suggestions would be welcome.

Hi All After once again perforating my scalp on the (very) sharp corner of the refusing-to-snap closed sunglasses holder in the ceiling of my 2015 estate, I am returning to the Briskoda Well of Expertise! Previously the holder has occasionally been stubborn to close, but a little bit of gentle encouragement has always done the trick. No more it seems; no matter what I do, it will not close. The problem seems to be with the two small catches (or perhaps their 'receiving' part). Although fully intact, they aren't catching in the closed position. Has anyone had this issue (there seem to have been others with the issue in other Skoda models) and been able to resolve it satisfactorily? (I love my car so I will leave discussion as to why I have to resolve this issue at all in an L+K until another time...Grrr!!) Thanks in advance for any advice
