Changed the original disc and pads on my Combi yesterday. Originals from factory had done 36k miles. No significant wear to discs, but badly corroded and scored across approx 40% of braking area. Pads still had plenty of friction material left. Used Brembo (coated) discs and pads, with VCDS (new to this software) to retract EPB. Connected battery charger first as most articles I had read said do that. Cycled EPB on and then off. Ran full auto-scan first and stored results. Went into ABS module, checked no brake errors and ran Started brake lining change (or something like that). Error messages on dash about EPC and rear alert etc. Turned ignition off. Started on drivers side - piston pressed back in easily. Caliper easy to remove. Old disc a little stuck but a few taps with lump hammer and it soon moved. Disc comes off without removing caliper carrier!! Makes changing so easy. These are 312mm vented. After refitting with new disc and pads I pressed the brake pedal to hold wheel whilst torqueing wheel bolts. When I then tried in VCDS to end lining procedure it wouldnt - error values out of range. Decided not to panic and changed nearside disc and pads (again very easy). Pressed brake pedal to toque wheel bolts. In VCDS ran full scan again, Went into ABS module, checked errors codes, one for being in lining change mode. Went into basic setting to run end lining change. It did it! Went back to clear error code, and now everything works as it should. All very easy to do.

I've had a look round the forum and couldnt find anything specific on this topic. I bought a MY21 280 Sportline estate a few months ago, absolutely fantastic car. For me its a modern day Saab 9000 Aero. On the way home from Reading the SOS emergency warning occurred, which seems to have been fixed with a software update. However I dont seem to have the option to access the performance monitor (the additional gauges). On start up the screen shows "Sportline" so it knows that it is a sportline spec. Can anyone with a Sportline confirm if the performance monitor is accessed in the Vehicle Menu / Settings ? I just dont have the option. Does anyone else have a MY21 Sportline with the performance monitor?

Skoda UK were no help. They could not tell me if I bought a specific wheel (and I could give them the part number) from Skoda, if it would fit my car. They couldn't even give me a technical contact to ask. Eventually after asking a number of dealers, one was prepared to ask one of their technicians if the wheel would fit. Which they did confirm. So wheels and tyres ordered, fingers crossed they fit.

Hi looking for some help as a couple of Skoda dealer just want to sell me same 19 inch wheel size as currently on the car for winter wheels. Looking at the brake caliper a 17 inch wheel should fit. Can anyone confirm if they have fitted 17 inch wheels to MY21 Superb 280 Sportline? These are the wheels and tyres I'm considering: Skoda Superb III 17" Black Triton Alloy Wheels and Continental Winter Tyres (W/O TPMS) Colour: Black Material: Light alloy Tyre dimension: 215/55 R17 98V XL Rim dimension: 6,5J x 17" ET 41
