Due to the London ULEZ being expanded in August 2023 to include most of the area inside the M25, expect around 100,000 old diesels (pre-Euro 6 which is around pre-2015) to flood onto the market with no where near enough buyers. Prices will surely crash. I expect come spring 2023, the trickle will turn into a flood of sellers desperately trying to offload their old pre-Euro 6 diesels as the August 2023 date looms. None of the Superb MK2 diesels comply with Euro 6.

mytyres are listing an Alcar 6667. The Alcar 6667 is an exact copy of the 16" steel rim from the Skoda Octavia MK4. Alcar are made in Switzerland so as you can imagine, are OE quality. Alcar are one of the most popular aftermarket steel rim manufacturers, hence why mytyres sell them. The 205/60R16 tyre size is correct for this rim on the Octavia MK4. However, you might want to try one of your current full size wheels first to get an idea if a 205/60R16 tyre would fit in the spare wheel well with the carpet flush, etc. Alcar 6667 6.5Jx16 ET46 5/112 57.1 steel rim https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rims/details?vehicleId=1275564879859717232&rimCode=ALCAR6667 The 6.5Jx17 ET38 5/112 57.1 steel rim fromt the Kodiaq is similar to the Octavia MK4 6.5Jx17 ET46 5/112 57.1 rim size except for the offset being ET38 instead of ET46. This would move the centre of the tyre 8mm further out in the wheel arch compared to the standard 17" Octavia MK4 rim. Alcar 9021 6.5Jx17 ET38 5/112 57.1 steel rim (from Kodiaq) https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rims/details?vehicleId=672860434273997936&rimCode=ALCAR9021 If there's room for an inflated 225 wide tyre (which I doubt), then consider an Alcar 9373 7.5Jx18 ET50 5/112 57.1 steel rim from the VW iD.3 electric car. The offset of this rim is only 2mm different from the 18" Octavia MK4 rim, so would be a good fit on the car with a 225/45R18 tyre. However, on mytyres it's currently over twice the price of the 16" steel rim. The standard 18" tyre and rim size on the Octavia MK4 is 225/45R18 fitted to a 7.5Jx18 ET48 5/112 57.1 rim.

If it fails the MOT due to leaking shock absorbers, you will have written proof that they need changing. The results of MOT tests are shown online, so it's easy to get proof. If you can see a big patch of oil on the outside of the shock absorbers, then that's a leak.

The foam kit including jack and everything except the spare wheel itself might cost about £50 from a Skoda dealer. From ebay it might cost about £100. On ebay, the parts might not have the correct OEM part numbers and might not be correct for the car. 5E3012115A is the OEM part number for just the foam for the full size spare wheel. The similar 5E3012115 (without the A at the end) is just the foam for the skinny space saver wheel. However, check with the dealer to make sure that he supplies the correct parts for your car. skoda parts catalogue https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/OCT/585/0/012/12000 Don't purchase this one in the photo below, as it's only for a skinny space saver wheel (unless that's what you want) 5E3012115A is the foam for a full size spare wheel shown in the photo below (perhaps just 205/60R16 or 205/55R17, maybe not 225/45R18 if the tyre is inflated but maybe 225/45R18 if the tyre is deflated). The 5E3012115A part number might be for just the foam without the jack/tools, etc.

Did they change the cam belt when they changed the water pump?

I've got an original 1971 version, and that isn't magnetic. The moral of the story is don't lose a 2p coin down a vent unless it's one of the later copper plated steel versions or you won't be able to retrieve it with a magnet.

...but 2p coins aren't magnetic if they were made before 1992 so won't stick to a magnet? During 1992 the composition changed from bronze to copper plated steel so became magnetic. So in 1992, some 2p coins were made out of bronze and some were made out of copper plated steel, but after 1992 all 2p coins were made out of copper plated steel...and hence became magnetic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_pence_(British_decimal_coin)

When these four cylinder engines go into 2 cylinder mode, it's the outside cylinders that keep working, and the inside cylinders that are shut down. This might be to keep the two shut down cylinders up to temperature or at least warmer than if the two outside cylinders were shut down. Because the firing order of a 4 cylinder engine tends to be 1,3,4,2 either cylinders 1 and 4, or cylinders 2 and 3, provide evenly distributed power strokes. This is because cylinders 1 and 4 move up and down together, and so do cylinders 2 and 3. I would rather have a 2 cylinder hybrid car. The 2 cylinders (perhaps 75PS) being used for maintaining a steady speed, and a 75PS electric motor ready to cut in to give 150PS worth of acceleration. It's also safer to have two engine systems. If just the petrol engine or just the electric motor breaks down you can get your car to safety using the remaining engine/electric motor. Waiting for a breakdown truck on a smart hard shoulder isn't really smart at all.

There's a lot of incorrect information on that listing. They claim its an 8Jx19 ET41 rim that needs a 235/45R19 tyre for the Octavia MK3. It's actually a 7.5Jx19 ET51 rim that needs a 225/35R19 tyre for the Octavia MK3.

These listings on autodoc (and elsewhere) are full of mistakes. For example, Bilstein B6 35-229872 front shock absorbers are listed on autodoc as being compatible with OEM part numbers 5Q0413023CP, 5Q0413023DA, 5Q0413023EB, 5Q0413023GG, 8V0413023C, 8V0413023E. But Bilstein B6 35-229872 front shock absorbers have a 55mm strut diameter, and 5Q0413023CP, 5Q0413023DA, 5Q0413023EB, 5Q0413023GG, 8V0413023C, 8V0413023E front shock absorbers actually have a 50mm strut diameter.

According to the Skoda parts catalogue the Xtreme rims are 7.5J. "skoda eshop cz" also shows them as being 7.5J. A tyre fitter could refuse to fit a 235/35 tyre to a 7.5J rim. You might want to check with a local tyre fitter to make sure he would fit a 235/35 tyre to a 7.5J rim before making a purchase. 1 5E0601025AH Aluminium rim 7,5JX19 ET51 4 PR-CW6 XTREME - 5E0601025AHHA7 Anthracite metallic (grey) 1 5E0601025BD Aluminium rim 7,5JX19 ET51 4 PR-C8I XTREME 5E0601025BDJX2 black/bright chrome https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/OCT/753/6/601/601090 X-TREM 19" light alloy wheel for OCTAVIA III RS Rim size: 7.5J x 19" ET 51 https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/OCT/753/6/601/601090

The width of a 225/35R19 tyre fitted to 7.5J rim is about 224mm. The width of a 235/35R19 tyre fitted to 7.5J rim is about 230mm. Therefore, the sidewalls will bulge out by about 3mm more each side if you change from 225/35R19 to 235/35R19 on 7.5J rims. However, ETRTO don't approve the fitment of a 235/35 tyre to a 7.5J rim. They specify an 8J rim as the minimum rim width for that tyre size as shown in the chart below. ETRTO approved rim widths 225/35 7.5-8.0-9.0 235/35 8.0-8.5-9.5

The Superb MK2 owner's manual says that you can only use snow chains on the front wheels and that you can only use snow chains with links and locks no larger than 9mm. There are also limits on the tyre and rim combinations that you can use with snow chains. Permissible tyre and rim combinations that allow the fitment of snow chains (links and locks no larger than 9mm) on the front wheels are: 205/55R16 fitted to 6Jx16 ET50 rims 205/55R16 fitted to 7Jx16 ET45 rims 205/50R17 fitted to 6Jx17 ET45 rims Skoda owner's manuals https://manual.skoda-auto.com/004/en-com/Models

What tyre pressures are shown on the label inside the fuel filler flap? If it's just you in the car, 2.4 front and 2.5 back seems a bit high for the Scala. What size tyres are you using, as there's more than one 16" size on the Scala, eg. 195/60R16, 205/55R16, etc.? What make and model of tyres are you using? Some ride harder than others. Maybe put a photo of the tyre pressure label up on here.

What winter tyres have you fitted and in what conditions do you feel that the handling needs improving, eg. above freezing or below freezing, snow, wet, dry, etc.? What rim width have you fitted the 205/55R16 tyres to, eg. 6J or 7J, etc.? Are you going to fit snowchains at some point during the winter? If not, you don't need to use the narrow 6Jx16 ET50 rims. If you have fitted 205/55R16 to relatively narrow 6J rims, then using wider 6.5J or 7J rims will help the steering response. Skoda do list a 6Jx16 ET50 rim for the 205/55R16 winter tyre size on the Superb MK2 as this allows the fitment of snowchains.

Brake caliper carriers with OEM part number 3B0615125 will only work with the left brake caliper with OEM part number 3A0615123 and the right brake caliper with OEM part number 3A0615124. I can't be sure that they will fit the Fabia because they were used on the Octavia MK1 and not the Fabia. However, the Fabia and Octavia MK1 do use the same 288x25mm front brake discs so they might fit. I would use brakes that I knew fit, such as the TRW or ATE brakes that were actually fitted to the Fabia at some point, and not some old ATE brakes from the Octavia MK1 that were never fitted to the Fabia. If you use these old ATE brakes, you might not be able to find brake pads that use a wear warning contact. If you use the TRW or later ATE brakes that came out around 2011 you can get a brake pad set that has a wear warning contact or a brake pad set that doesn't have a wear warning contact. So you will have a choice, depending on whether your car is wired up for a warn warning contact or not.

The problem with ICE engines compared to electric engines is that they can be very revvy, ie. very little power low down in the rev range. 40HP might sound good, but on the Kawasaki 300cc (296cc) twin cylinder engine , that 40HP is only produced at an eye watering 11,500rpm. Drop the revs too much, such as around town, and it could feel like a wimpy 125cc.

3B0615125 is a brake caliper carrier from an Octavia MK1. If you are changing from 256mm front brake discs to 288mm front brake discs, you will need the left wheel bearing housing with OEM part number 6Q0407255S and the right wheel bearing housing with OEM part number 6Q0407256S. This will allow you to bolt on either the earlier 288mm TRW brakes or the later 288mm ATE brakes, as they both use the same wheel bearing housings. The later 288mm ATE brakes came out around 2011.

The KTM390 (37Nm) has 44% more torque than the Kawasaki300 (25.7Nm). The Kawasaki is too revvy and has too little torque. The KTM (158kg) is about 10% lighter than the Kawasaki (175kg). KTM390 (373cc) https://www.ktm.com/en-au/models/travel/ktm-390-adventure2022.html

If they are Kodiaq steel rims the specification is 6.5Jx17 ET38 5/112 57.1, not ET50 205/55R16 are a much cheaper tyre size than 205/50R17. However, being a VRS you may prefer the lower aspect ratio. 205/50R17 tyres are usually fitted to a rim with an offset of ET50 on the Octavia MK2. So using ET38 rims is like fitting 12mm spacers to the ET50 rims, as 12mm spacers changes the effective offset of ET50 rims to ET38.
