VCDS options on Superb III
Jeppelito replied to BurialConstant's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Any ideas if I will be able to update battery serial number with a Hex+net cable on a 2017 model? -

Do you have any more thoughts after the last video? Thanks in advance -
TDI 2.0 engine noise, something faulty?

Ok interesting that you have the same noise. Is that something that might cause damage and needs fixing? -
TDI 2.0 engine noise, something faulty?

Very hard to exactly pinpoint where the sound is coming from but maybe the metal thingy down here, make any sense? IMG_2887.mov -

Sorr Sorry heard it then for the first time and thought it might be temporary, then again tonight with car packed with kids in the dark… Thanks for your advice, will check closer tomorrow -
A couple of weeks ago noticed an odd sound from the engine, only hear it outside of the car. I haven’t come around to open the hood yet but it seems to be coming from the region of passenger side in the front. Any ideas what might cause this noise? Car runs like normal. Car is an 2017 estate 4x4 2.0 TDI Thanks IMG_2878.mov

Windshield scratches - Poor quality glass?
Jeppelito replied to Jeppelito's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Reading about volkswagen glass there’s several reports of it being softer than other manufacturers. Coming from Volvo never had any problems just cleaning the wipers every now and then (certainly not every month summertime), and it had 200000km on it! -
Have owned my MY17 superb for about 1 month and cleaned it twice but never cleaned the wipers. Just the other day after cleaning it I noticed a fairly visible maybe 20cm long scratch in the center of the windshield close to the rear mirror. Upon further inspection and driving in direct sunlight i notice quite a lot of fine scratches over the windshield, and the worst affected part is close to the end of the wipers end position on the driver side, like a column of very fine scratches about 15cm high and 3-4cm long. Although not directly in the field of vision definately annoying. Not sure if the scratches were there when I bought it but I suspect not since I should have noticed at inspection. Shocking if this is the result of not cleaning the blades for one month summertime. Never had this problem with a car before. Wipers are in good condition. Anyone else with the same problem? How often do you wipe the blades off? And how do you get them to service position?

What do you love and hate about your Superb?
Jeppelito replied to FatWolfie's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Have to adjust previous comment. Had new tires put on today. Got them for free from the dealer I just bought the car from so did’nt choose myself. Got a pair of Dunlop sport maxx GT and ride feels even smoother and road noise reduced quite a lot compared to the worn sportcontact 5 that was previously fitted. The decreased road noise increased quality of canton sound aswell. Also another thread suggested turning off individual driving profile which sorted problem with seat not staying in lowest position. Happy days! -

Worked for me! No more adjusting seat every ride. Thanks a ton -

Coming from a MY11 Volvo S60 D5 Momentum. Now MY17 4x4 190hp Superb hatch with 18" wheels. Pros: + Infotainment with apple car play is really good. + All parts of driving assistance works really well. + Feels and handles smaller than it is, boot is huge. + Alcantara leather in seats. Was hesitant on this one after reading quite a lot. Just love it. Some people reported it "sticky" and that you can´t move around without lifting your butt, this is not the case for me. It looks really good too. Much better than on images. + Good looking, love the Moon white metallic. Good build quality and materials both exterior and interior. Maybe a slight - for the leather wheel which shows some wear after 45000km. + All the small quirks like cooling box, umbrella in door and so on. Cons: - Seats are nowhere near the comfort of Volvo. A bit to firm. I´m 6´4" and struggle get comfortable since I´m used to a lower driving position. - With regard to above it`s super annoying that seat memory won´t stay in lowest position and has to be adjusted every ride. - Canton sound is a bit disappointing. It´s good but I just can´t find settings that work in low and high volumes, driving fast and slow. Premium sound in my Volvo was better. - Start/stop could be smoother. - That you can´t close the boot from inside. - Road noise insulation could be better. - Little disappointed about MPG, quite far off reported levels. - Really poor quality of rear breaking discs. Pads and discs worn out after 45000km. All in all happy with my first Skoda and it´s excellent value, although I feel that just simple cheap adjustments would have done a lot for the experience. -

Super annoyed that the front seat wont stay in the lowest position. Any one have a solution for this? -
Been experimenting some with the canton sound. At default setting the sound is just to bright. A big part of the problem seems to be the smaller speakers in the door which shuts off in the ”driver” mode. After going driver mode I actually think pulling down the ”mid” makes the most for more accurate sound. I’m currently at: Treble: -5 Mid: -5 Bass: 0 Subwoofer: 0 Mode: ”Driver” Mostly listening to electronic music. Anyone like to share your ”optimal” settings?
